They said the key was to get a seat at the table. But what if the table was never built for you?

In Build Your Table (Book 1 in the Build Your Power series) Beverly Vanterpool shares her journey over the past 20 years from ambitious immigrant from the Caribbean to a people leader & change maker in large global corporations. Drawing from her journey as a Black woman, an introvert and an immigrant climbing the corporate ladder, Beverly shares what it takes to succeed when you are navigating systems not in your favour. From building networks to making bold career moves, this book helps you thrive where you are—and decide when it is time to pivot, and how to choose more.

With clarity, candour, and practical tools, she explores how to gain sponsors, build your network, speak up, show up, and move up in your career—without losing yourself in the process.

But this is not just a book about climbing the ladder. It is about knowing where the ladder ends—and when and how to build something of your own.
