Two weeks ago, I was in New Orleans, Louisiana, living my best life with my cousins and friends, enjoying my friends work perks, and soaking in all the melanated joy of the 25th Annual Essence Festival.
In this episode, I’m going to share what I learned during my 4 days in Nawlins and give you some things to think about as we continue on our corporate journeys.

In this episode, I explain why you must manage your manager. Unfortunately, this task falls on you. So today I lay out why managing your manager is very important, how to determine the type of manager you have, and how to build a positive relationship with your manager, even if you don’t like her.

In this episode, we talk about what you need to do to set yourself up for success for the rest of the year.
We are past the halfway point for the year. How are you tracking? Are you going to hit your deliverables by the end of the year? Are you working toward your next promotion? How is that going?
Even if the first half hasn’t started out so well or gone as planned. I have intentionally created 3 points of homework for you to implement this month. My goal is that you go to work with intention and a plan to thrive!
S3:Ep 26
We have successfully dealt with Sexism, Racism, Classism…. So what’s a little Ageism to US?
In this episode, one of my favorite coaching clients, Mrs. Adrienne, joins me for a conversation on Ageism. In 2018, Mrs. Adrienne found herself impacted by a huge corporate restructuring. She shares her story of being a seasoned professional back in a job market that isn’t the most appreciative of older workers. You will leave this conversation inspired and limitless.
S3:Ep 25
As Black Women, we find ourselves in some pretty rough and interesting situations at work. Most times we can use our resourcefulness to turn the situation around.
But what are we supposed to do when we can’t fix it and we find ourselves in a meeting with our manager and HR?
In this episode, we discuss what you need to do to protect yourself from the bad behavior of your coworkers and when it’s time for you to take yourself to the EEOC office and file a complaint.

In this episode, we hear a cautionary tale from an anonymous Corporate Warrior.

S3:Ep 23
In this episode, I want to focus on the signs you need to pay attention to as you complete your internship. There are clear RED FLAGS, that will tell you that you need to run far away after your internship is over … even if you secure a full-time offer to join them after you graduate. Some Bags Just Ain’t Worth It.
