Dr. Gena Cox is an organizational psychologist and professional speaker. Her published biography in Course Correct describes work with executives who want to improve inclusion but are uncertain which actions deserve their attention. A particular concern is the gap between the information reaching senior leaders and employees' daily experience.
Gena's speaking work includes helping leaders understand and improve the workplace experience of Black women. That interest in how organizations feel to the people within them provides the background to her contribution on leadership in a changed and disrupted world.
Her chapter recalls adapting a relationship-based professional practice when pandemic restrictions moved meetings online. Gena describes needing new ways to show value, connect with clients and remain visible. She uses that experience to discuss experimentation, clear communication and recognizing opportunities within disruption.
Continued learning and a group of trusted advisers are recurring themes. Gena encourages readers to clarify the problem they are solving and express their contribution in a memorable way. Her account connects professional adaptability with the willingness to learn from people in many different circumstances.
