Cynthia Barnes Delivering Keynote: Bounce-back Ability
In a primarily male-dominated industry, a woman is working to change the landscape for Black women by breaking glass ceilings and striving for more.
"Representation matters,” explains Barnes, founder and CEO of the National Association of Women Sales Professionals (NAWSP). “We can’t be what we can’t see. While more women of color are entering sales, most sales teams and leadership remain white and male. I'm excited to show those who look like me that their gender or race is not a roadblock to success."
As a Top Sales Influencer, Barnes has spent the past two decades studying what it takes for women sales professionals to excel, helping to close the gender gap in sales, and explaining why it is so crucial for women of color to rise through the ranks.
"When I took the stage, I could only think of young women and girls who had never seen a Black female sales leader. Young girls whose only exposure to Black women is what they see in music videos and TV. I know my representation matters because it helps build self-esteem and provides validation and support for young women and girls who look like me.”
Barnes continues her mission of encouraging and empowering women in sales to have the confidence to remove the limits of what they can accomplish and take their place at any table they choose.
