If the world’s organizations and institutions were run more effectively, if our leaders made better decisions, if people worked more productively, we believe that all of us — employees, bosses, customers, our families, and the people our businesses affect — would be better off. We try to arm our readers with ideas that help them become smarter, more creative, and more courageous in their work. We encourage comments, critiques, and questions. We expect our community to be a safe space for respectful, constructive, and thought-provoking discussion. We reserve the right to remove or turn off comments at our discretion. We do not tolerate bullying, name-calling, or abusive language related to identity, including race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, age, or region; spam; copyright violation; extreme profanity; or p*rnography.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T12:22:10.972032+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387"},"episode":{"title":"Real Talk: Black Women on Balancing Pressure, Fatigue, and New Opportunities in Uncertain Times","slug":"real-talk-black-women-on-balancing-pressure-fatigue-and-new-opportunities-in-uncertain-times","published_at":"2026-06-27T15:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387/real-talk-black-women-on-balancing-pressure-fatigue-and-new-opportunities-in-uncertain-times","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/harvard-business-review-7777387","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG1014706329.mp3","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/VG1014706329.mp3","summary":"Real Talk: Black Women on Balancing Pressure, Fatigue, and New Opportunities in Uncertain Times 1 Nov 2021 --- Black women are often \"the onlys\" in their organizations, putting tremendous pressure on them in uncertain times, but also offering unique opportunities. The pandemic and social unrest over the past 18 months have taken a disproportionate toll on Black women. As organizations begin to have conversations about racism, exclusion, justice, belongingness, and equity, Black women are often leading those conversations. And they’re frequently tasked with helping to develop solutions to these challenges. Our three hosts ask themselves: how do you balance the pressure, stress, and fatigue, with the onus of wanting to do well not only for ourselves, but for others? Hosted by Ellen Bailey, VP of Diversity and Culture at Harvard Business Publishing; Octavia Goredema, author of Prep, Push, Pivot: Essential Career Strategies for Underrepresented Women; and Laura Morgan Roberts, Professor of Practice at University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.
