The Truth About Performance Improvement Plans! (Update)

By Trill MBA Show — 5 months ago

S3:Ep 12

In this episode, I drop nuggets around the Performance Improvement Plan aka PIP…. a sad and sorry excuse of a development tool used by organizations for all the wrong reasons. I also share the 3 options you have when you are placed on a PIP.

If you are a Corporate Warrior, chances are you have been met with a PIP or at least a threat of a PIP in your career journey. Listen, this is a temporary situation that will lead you to your next stop on your journey. Yes, it’s a painful experience, especially if it’s not for legitimate performance issues. You can make it through the PIP experience and trust me, life gets better after a PIP.

By Trill MBA Show — 7 months ago

S3:Ep 6
In this episode, we discuss the Black Woman’s Achilles’ Heel….. Asking For Help.

You may remember Jessika from last season when we talked about lessons learned from her MBA internship and how not getting the full time offer was the best BLESSING God disguised.
