OPC Lunch and Learn: "We Came in Like a Wrecking Ball!": Dismantling Concepts of Professionalism

In our society, one must look THE PART‚ and act THE PART to be successful. We are often socialized to believe that there is a universal understanding of professionalism, when in fact the term is culturally specific. We usually do not ask what THE PART is and why it is relevant to our success. Overlooking playing THE PART could have ramifications for navigating one's career or staff success. This session will discuss ways we can implement more inclusive work practices to allow authenticity and success in the workplace without forsaking the tools needed to work.
