How This MBA Rock Star Connects the Dots of Success

By Trill MBA Show — 5 years ago

S3:Ep 39

In this episode, I chat with one of my favorite Mentees turned Mentor. In four short years, she has built an amazingly supported career at her current company. Today, she shares how she has connected the dots of corporate success, allowing her to build a great reputation, solid sponsor relationships and gain the label of high performing/high potential talent. Although I would love to tell you who she is and where she works, it’s more important to deliver these career nuggets without pause or hesitation.

Interning While Black with My Little Cousin

By Trill MBA Show — 5 years ago

S3:Ep 38

In this episode, I have the opportunity to sit down with my little cousin (he’s 20 now but he will always be my favorite 9-year-old with a bow tie) and talk with him about his summer internship experience with a global investment firm. It is the classic okie-doke set up for failure. Let this be a lesson to you. You can interview well, gain the opportunity, get set up to fail… only to be told that you aren’t good enough. Don’t believe the hype.

Discrimination At Ford Motor Company Continues, Another Example w/ Walter Bernard

By Trill MBA Show — 5 years ago

S3:Ep 32

In the past 2 years, Ford Motor Company has settled with an EEOC Harassment Investigation for $10.125 Million and in March was ordered to pay $16.8 Million to an ex-employee for discrimination and retaliation. Unfortunately, allegations and lawsuits of discrimination are not new for Ford Motor Company. In fact, if you do a good Google search, these stories of mistreatment are widespread throughout the company. Even though they have all the policies in place, deep within the roots of the culture at Ford Motor Company is racism and sexism. One might even say that they can’t help it, Henry Ford was a racist openly admired by Adolf Hitler. 🤷🏿‍♀️

So how do you manage your career while working for companies like Ford Motor Company, who hold on to such an entrenched culture of racism and sexism?

In this episode, ex-Ford employee, Walter Bernard shares his story of broken promises and discrimination thinly veiled as a layoff. Walter is an attorney, MBA, author, entrepreneur and former NFL football player. He worked for Ford Motor Company for 7 years until he was laid off this June 2019.
