“Your role means more than you
think it does. You still do your job,
build your balance sheet, and
cultivate client relationships —
but over time, you also build trust
and create relationships with
important stakeholders within
your organization. The capital
that you have created will allow
you to drive change when it
comes to inclusion.”
