In this stirring narrative, part-memoir, part blueprint for action, she shares her vision of what it means to be truly seen at our places of work. As a \"first and only\" woman of color in boardrooms and leading roles across the Bay Area's booming tech industry, Denise was a trailblazer in a business that was never built for her. The first black and female senior executive under both Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, Denise was often in \"the room where it happened.\" But within a white male-centric professional culture, she still had to work harder, smarter, and differently to be heard.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eWhen We Are Seen\u003c\/i\u003e, Denise shares insights on using your own story, empathy, and intuition to unlock the potential in yourself and others. Her story serves as both solace and strategy for anyone who has ever felt left out, unseen, or ostracized; anyone interested in upending cycles of exclusion; and for those interested in reclaiming our agency in the ongoing quest to thrive and belong.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Denise argues that bringing your truest self to work-from wearing your beloved locs to sharing your artistic passion-and, in turn, holistically seeing the attributes others have to offer is not a passive experience; it is a specific skill we can and should build. And the result is a deeper understanding of what it means to be inclusive and powerfully human on the job.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49692460908817,"sku":"CIN0593239296G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49750825894161,"sku":"NGR9780593239292","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50129360027921,"sku":"CIN0593239296VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004345614609,"sku":"NIN9780593239292","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51670665953553,"sku":"GOR014356904","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53148118155537,"sku":"GOR014777103","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0593239296.jpg?v=1751443698"},{"product_id":"last-ride-book-denise-young-9780732289973","title":"Last Ride","description":"Are some bonds meant to be broken?

I began to write poems and quotes again after having years of trials and tribulations. Painfully, they put me into a great transition of life while in my midforties. After being a devoted wife and mother for years, I'm now a divorced, single woman, who has raised two grown sons. I decided to search for my position in my life's journey. Although I've experienced many heartbreaking issues, I also have plenty of happy days. These happy days allowed me to regroup. Putting my story on paper, in poetic form, helped me to reflect, rejuvenate, and release it all in order to keep pressing forward. So what unfolds in the pages of this book is the truth of me. But sometimes, this is how life can be. I'm giving God the glory for allowing me to survive these storms. My happy days have given me encouragement to share my stories in the form of my quotes and happy poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52336733389073,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336734011665,"sku":"NLS9781524652838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781524652838.jpg?v=1758164310"},{"product_id":"fury-and-the-beast-book-denise-young-9781387545650","title":"Fury and the Beast","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53495270572305,"sku":"NIN9781387545650","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781387545650.jpg?v=1777852879"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-denise-young.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
