Is Bias Killing Your Confidence? (with Maisha Cannon, Founder & Chief Learner, The Collab Lab)
EPISODE NOTES
In her previous life as a corporate recruiter, Maisha Cannon put on what she describes as a kind of “mask.”
She wasn’t fully herself. Often, she’d fade into the background to try and get ahead as a black woman in corporate America. But for Maisha, getting into entrepreneurship meant putting aside those incidents where she experienced bias. It meant stepping into herself and building the confidence she needed to start The Collab Lab, which helps Talent Acquisition professionals and Recruiters to grow their skills and careers.
In this episode, Maisha talks about how to bring your full self to work. How did she respond to experiencing racial bias in the workplace? How did she develop the confidence to start The Collab Lab, especially as an introvert? And what’s the biggest trend affecting job recruitment right now?
Maisha talks about:
Getting hired at (and leaving) companies like Google and LinkedIn
Embracing imperfection and the importance of launching early
The secrets to overcoming bias in the workplace
How AI is being used to disrupt recruiting
Shedding her corporate "mask"
