Uncovering Your Authentic Self at Work

Summary

Learn about covering—a strategy through which individuals downplay a known stigmatized identity to blend into the mainstream—and how to build a more authentic workplace.

Despite decades of diversity and inclusion efforts, people sometimes feel forced to choose between being included and being themselves. Join Kenji Yoshino, renowned NYU Law professor and director of the Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, to learn about covering, a strategy that people may use to downplay a stigmatized identity and blend into the mainstream. This course explores the four dimensions of covering, provides quantitative and qualitative data on covering in corporate America, and presents strategies for “uncovering talent” and contributing to a more authentic workplace.
