Two years ago, Dr. Ella F. Washington, organizational psychologist, Founder and CEO of DEI strategy consulting firm Ellavate Solutions, and Professor of Practice at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, shared her vision for a fairer, healthier, more productive “workplace utopia” with business leaders looking to make positive change in The Necessary Journey: Making Real Progress on Equity and Inclusion. The book was a hit with the C-Suite, but left workers asking, What about me? How do I make sense of and navigate my workplace? How do I show up authentically when I’m the only person who looks like me? Do I even belong here? Now, Dr. Washington is back with Unspoken: A Guide to Cracking the Hidden Corporate Code, a practical guide for workers across the spectrum who want to succeed in the business world without sacrificing their authenticity. Unspoken is the book for every professional who’s asked these questions, battled imposter syndrome, or wondered how to expand their power and influence (and struggled with whether it’s okay to do so). In the book, Dr. Washington explains the unspoken rules that determine success in corporate settings, coaching readers in the tactics that will equip them to shape a successful career anchored in meaningful experiences. She shares practical strategies readers can use to own their story and their strengths, leverage their skills, and identify opportunities to excel and advance, along with stories from fellow professionals who have faced similar challenges and successfully navigated these spaces. Packed with fascinating research, helpful exercises, and real, practical advice, this book will help readers build their capacity to move forward more confidently, empowering them and equipping them with the tools and tactics they need to thrive at every level of their organization and build the careers and lives they want.

“Unspoken: A Guide to Cracking the Hidden Corporate Code is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate corporate spaces with confidence and integrity.” Readers’ Favorite

From the Back Cover

For nearly 20 years, organizational psychologist Dr. Ella F. Washington has dedicated her life to elevating humanity in the workplace by making the workplace a better, healthier, more equitable space for everyone. As the Founder and CEO of the DEI strategy consulting firm Ellavate Solutions, a professor of practice at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, and an in-demand consultant, speaker, and expert on workplace issues, Dr. Washington works with everyone from students to CEOs on issues including women in the workplace, barriers to inclusion for diverse groups, and the construction of more inclusive corporate cultures. In this book, she takes her efforts directly to workers struggling to find their way in a corporate world that may not have been made for them, helping them to understand the unspoken rules that impact these spaces, develop strategies to get past these barriers, and build a career that maximizes their potential and helps them realize their dreams.

Practical, Digestible, & Insightful.
So grateful to have come across this book by Dr. Washington. I am at a point in my career, where I am really unsure what my next steps should be, and fromthe very beginning this book challenged me in a practical way to think strategically about the rest of my professional journey. Everything from the assessment at the beginning to the unspoken rules throughout, really offer valuable perspective to navigating not only the professional landscape, but aligning my personal goals as well. The anecdotes are incredibly relatable and the advice she offers truly resonated with me. This was supposed to be a gift for my mentee, but now Ill have to buy another to keep for myself!

This book speaks in a frank and open way about many of the obstacles that a person experiences daily in their work. You will see how useful this book is, and gives you a smart strategy to fight against inequality.

This book is exactly what I need. It entirely speaks about how I feel with my 9-5 job. In general, we always think that working is hard and we have no other choice than to do it because of our bills. But this book is teaching us otherwise. It shows us that working should not make us feel unhappy. The book generally has a positive tone which made me feel motivated to continue working and achieving my goals. And I love that the author also gave real-life examples that made the topic relable. For people like me who are still figuring out how to progress in their career, this book Unspoken: A Guide to Cracking the Hidden Corporate Code by Elle F. Washington is a good starting point to reflect and be inspired.

I didn't expect this book to help me be so introspective! Dr. Washington's Unspoken is filled with research and helpful anecdotes, but also exercises and tools that helped make the content alive for me, and helped me to truly reflect on my identity, actions, and values in the workplace. I felt like an active participant in reading this, and I've earmarked pages to keep coming back to different chapters and content. Dr Washington's writing is also straightforward and accessible, which I appreciate!

Unspoken written by organisational psychologist and DEI expert Ella F. Washington, PhD, is an excellent read for anyone who is willing to understand the basic concepts involved in business management and corporate spaces not only at an institutional level but also at a personal, individual level. The book also helps people develop and thrive in life. It has helped me a lot to understand a space that at first felt very different and hard to fit in. I have learned about leadership, strategic thinking and building relationships.
This is a very well-written book. The author has put together her knowledge of the subject and her ability to explain complex notions in a very easy way to grasp and has come with a work that is useful and enjoyable to read at the same time.
