Playing the Game While Black Womaning in Corporate America™
This keynote pulls back the curtain on the unwritten rules of corporate America—the ones no one talks about, but every Black woman is expected to master. Nicole S. Palmer breaks down the seven universal rules from her bestselling book, illustrating how power, politics, and perception collide in the workplace. With humor, storytelling, and raw honesty, she exposes the hidden dynamics that shape success and survival while equipping audiences with practical tools for reclaiming agency, building strategic visibility, and thriving in environments not built for them. Ideal Audience: Corporate professionals, ERG leaders, women’s leadership groups, DEI champions.
The Game Is Rigged—Thrive Anyway
Nicole strips away illusions of fairness in corporate life and exposes how bias, politics, and power truly operate. Yet, she shows how thriving is still possible through strategic thinking, boundary-setting, and confidence. A no-fluff talk that equips attendees to make power moves without losing authenticity. Audience: Women leaders, mid-career professionals, DEI and HR audiences.
