at a global creative consultancy.
danışmanlığında ortağım.
I couldn't help but wonder ...
hep merak ettim...
is a little nontraditional,
bring to the office?
söz konusu bile değil.
one way to be a leader:
lider olunur sanıyordum:
office drag to fit the role:
başka bir kimliğe bürünürdüm:
try to hold in my hand motions.
el hareketlerime dikkat ederdim.
really excited about things,
in my head, telling me,
too feminine, too flamboyant."
çok gösterişlisin.''
adviser who said,
And that's great.
Bu harika.
over the head with it."
gözünün içine sokmana gerek yok.''
Cadılar Bayramı'nda tutu etek giydim.
TV show character, Carrie Bradshaw,
Carrie Bradshaw gibi giyinmiştim,
would get a kick out of it.
and at first it was pure fun.
önce her şey çok keyifliydi.
messages from people
to be their authentic selves.
little voice in my head to just shut up
kapa çeneni deme vakti gelmişti
In the "New York Post", "US Weekly" --
New York Post, US Weekly...
still respect me as a leader?
saygı duyacak mı?''
get a different job.
kalacağımı düşündüm.
something small.
küçük bir şey.

kısaydı, şöyle yazıyordu:
that had just gone up about me.
bir yazıya bağlantı da vardı.
scared voice away
about this whole new world,
heyecan duymaya başladım,
to make you feel comfortable.
tek bir müttefik yeter.

balta vuracağını sanmıştım.
part of me would not just be embraced,
bir yana bırakın,
hayal bile edemezdim.
bir iş yerinde.
in my career when all of this started.
kariyerimde zaten belli bir noktadaydım.
of bringing your whole self to work.
kendiniz olmanın önemi hakkında.
my own misperceptions
gerekenlere yönelik
and finding ways to amplify them.
onları daha da güçlü kılmak önemli.
I'd put on my perfect leader mask.
kusursuz lider rolüne bürünürdüm.
"Gosh, that was frustrating."
ne kadar sinir bozucu'' diyebiliyorum.
and struggles in an open way,
dürüstçe konuşabiliyoruz,
that they're fine until it's too late.
her şey yolunda rolü yapmıyoruz.
spent pretending,
harcadığınız o enerjiyi düşünün,
is that in this big study of covering,
saklanmakla ilgili büyük bir çalışmada
who say they're doing it
values inclusion.
katılımcı olduğuna inanıyor.
and all of our strange inner voices
ve tüm o tuhaf iç seslerimizin
gideceği uzun bir yol var.
between adapting and disguising.
büyük bir fark var.
as a call to be the ally
olma çağrısı olarak görüyorum,
olmadığını göstermek için.
of your ethnic background,
gurur duyuyorsanız
or are deeply religious,
veya dindar biriyseniz
being your full self at work.
