They said to get a seat at the table. But what if the table was never built for you?
In Build Your Table , Beverly Vanterpool-once a shy Caribbean immigrant, now a corporate leader-shows you how to navigate workplaces that weren't designed with you in mind. Part career guide, part personal memoir, this book blends real-life stories with actionable strategies to help you succeed on your own terms.
You'll discover how to:
Navigate bias and invisible barriers with clarity
Build a network of mentors, sponsors, and allies
Speak up with confidence-without losing your identity
Pivot into new roles or reinvent your career when the ladder ends
Lead with purpose and create your own opportunities through corporate life, entrepreneurship, or portfolio careers
Beverly uses the powerful metaphor of the table to reveal the foundations of career success and the value of being intentional, taking measured risks, and embracing diverse career paths.
Each chapter offers practical exercises to help you reflect, build skills, and expand your network-while finding fulfilment beyond a single job.
Perfect for women, people of colour, first-generation professionals, immigrants, and anyone who's ever felt underestimated, Build Your Table is your roadmap to clarity, confidence, and a career designed for who you truly are.
You don't need permission to lead. Build your table. Take your seat. Lead your way.
