Dr. Beth Kaplan, in her introduction to her new book Braving the Workplace: “I know what it's like to be unseen, unheard and unhappy. I know what it's like to feel so much and have so much to say, but you can't find the words to express what you're going through. I know what it's like to feel tired, a deep fatigue, preventing you from absorbing joy. It's lonely, but you are not alone. We're in this together.

“The good news is, you survive 100% of your toughest days, and I'm going to get you through the rest.”

Inclusion and belonging are sisters, not twins, she writes. If you want to change the relationships in your life, you have to care back. And you cannot belong to something fully until you belong to yourself.

But how to do these things while being true to yourself and where you are? How can you do these in the workplace, with its conflicting mixture of community and pressure to perform?
