A powerful and personal guide on how to be effective, no matter who you're trying to influence. Whether it's the racist relative sitting across the table at a family function, or the CEO oblivious to the institutional barriers facing people of colour in the workplace, award-winning journalist and vivacious leader Antoinette Lattouf has some tips and advice on what to do.
Unlike Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, this book won't advise you not to 'criticise, condemn or complain' but instead explores the fallout when you do just that. Antoinette imparts searing insights into the popularity contests you'll forgo, and how to decide which races are worth running - and crucially, which simply aren't worth time or energy.
With wit and warmth, drawing on her own experiences and some very public missteps others have taken, Antoinette Lattouf shows us that a world of allies and advocates will be a better place for all of us - you just need to learn how to make (and keep) them!
