Carice Anderson

'This book should be part of every corporate onboarding programme!' Celiwe Ross, Human Capital Director Old Mutual

Having worked for over 17 years with top companies including Deloitte, Google and McKinsey, professional development manager, coach, consultant and Harvard MBA Carice Anderson shares her insider knowledge – and sheds light on the harsh realities of corporate environments for many Black professionals. Anderson argues that young Black people often struggle early on in their careers without the necessary soft skills to navigate work environments and reach their full potential, and shows how to strengthen workplace relationships, sharpen communication skills, improve your personal brand and, ultimately, make an impact.

Including advice and anecdotes from 30 successful Black leaders across Africa, Europe, and North America, Intelligence Isn't Enough aims to empower young Black graduates just entering the workforce and Black professionals already at work.

Learn how to survive and thrive in corporate spaces, take a strategic approach to your career, and understand yourself and others more deeply.

Intelligence Isn't Enough is the ultimate Black professional's guide to standing out, and showing up as your best and most authentic self at work.

Carice Anderson managed a leadership development programme for Black professionals and she currently does executive coaching, consulting and facilitation for top firms.
