First impressions often shape assumptions long before our work has the opportunity to speak for itself.

Sometimes we're underestimated. Sometimes we're over-scrutinized. And sometimes we're invited into the room for all the wrong reasons. What happens when you spend more energy proving yourself than believing in yourself?

Daily Drip Thought Leader Stephanie Midler's article, Performative Inclusion: Titles, Tokens, and the Illusion of Belonging, explores the difference between symbolic recognition and actual legitimacy—challenging what it means to be included without being truly trusted or empowered. Meanwhile, Daily Drip Thought Leader Nicole Carlon's article, Nepotism and the Pressure to Earn Your Stripes, examines the weight of carrying assumptions about how opportunity was earned and the pressure to prove your credibility beyond the circumstances that opened the door.

Join us for this powerful 90-minute virtual discussion on The Gap between Opportunity & Credibility, where we'll explore how to navigate the tension between the assumptions others place on us and the identity we are working to build for ourselves.
