The Black Faces in White Places Book is Available!

It's a new year. Are you ready for the next level?  


I have been bumping into people over the last few weeks who purchased and are reading the book Black Faces in White Places. Several of them have told me that it is changing the way they are thinking and making an impact on their personal and professional life.  That is exactly what we wanted this book to do!


For those of you who don't know anything about the book, here is a little more detail for you.


My new book with Dr. Randal Pinkett entitled BLACK FACES IN WHITE PLACES: 10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness is now available from your favorite book retailer. Here's a brief description:

For generations, African-Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But sometimes hard work is not enough. Black Faces in White Places is about “the game”—that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. It offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old “glass ceiling,” but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity. Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself. The book shows how African-American professionals can (and must) think and act both Entrepreneurially and “Intrapreneurially,” combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy.

ADVANCED PRAISE FOR BLACK FACES IN WHITE PLACES

“Randal Pinkett and Jeffrey Robinson’s book has much to say about solutions to our challenges in the Age of Obama. Don’t miss it!” — Cornel West, Princeton University

“There are three types of people in this world: those who make the rules, those who follow the rules, and those who redefine the rules. Drs. Pinkett and Robinson have given us a revolutionary roadmap for people of color to accomplish the latter, and to do so in a way that benefits everyone.” — William H. Cosby, Jr., Ed.D., and Camille O. Cosby, Ed.D.

“An intriguing exploration into the personal, professional, and spiritual dimensions of being Black in 21st century America. If you care deeply about the future of our communities and our country, you should care about this book.”— Benjamin Todd Jealous, President and CEO, NAACP

“This book is a ‘must read’ to fully understand the Black experience in any professional setting. Black Faces in White Places takes a look at race and professional accomplishment in post-Obama America. Drs. Pinkett and Robinson interview entrepreneurs, corporate execs, educators, religious and community leaders to identify 10 clear strategies to be successful oneself–and to help others as well.” — Soledad O’Brien, Anchor and Special Correspondent, CNN
