Juliet Hall made a career-defining decision to leave a company after being told her desired career path would not happen. She now recounts her job experiences spanning twenty years—building a narrative to show how she evolved, discovered her gifts, and succeeded in a career amidst a backdrop of corporate trauma before making the pivot to realize her dream. No matter the opposition—whether it’s family and tradition, systemic bias and marginalization, or difficult leadership—there is always a path forward. She refused to be put into a box and allow others to define success for her. She is the principal of Juliet Hall INC, a boutique leadership consulting agency based in Atlanta and has been recognized by several organizations in Atlanta as a “Top Black Woman of Influence.”
