Unequal by Design: Ep4: From Degree to Destiny: The Real Work Begins

Welcome to the Morris Perspective podcast, hosted by Connie Morris, where integrity meets action. In this episode, Connie dives into the realities of life beyond the diploma in "Unequal by Design, the Real Talk series." If you thought your degree was your ticket to success, it's time to rethink and refocus your approach. This episode, "Your Degree Got You the Seat, Your Grind Keeps You There," is a wake-up call for all college grads and alumni holding their diplomas.

Discover why credentials alone don't equate to competence and how real-world results come from applying your knowledge daily. Learn the difference between theory and practice, and how to transition from being noticed for your degree to building a reputation through consistent, humble, and follow-through efforts. Connie emphasizes the importance of mastering soft skills, maintaining curiosity over cockiness, and being a bridge rather than a barrier in the professional realm.

Join the conversation as we explore the challenges and strategies for navigating workplaces, especially as a person of color. Overcome bias with excellence and turn doubters into believers. This episode inspires you to grind beyond the degree by staying humble and thriving in your career with integrity. Share this essential advice with fellow graduates and colleagues who need that extra push to excel in both their professional journey and personal growth.
