In this episode, Felicia is joined by marketing executive and leadership strategist Breana Jones to break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in the workplace: power.

Let’s be honest—corporate America wasn’t designed with Black women in mind. So how do we navigate it, win in it, and still protect our peace? It starts with understanding that power isn’t evil—it’s a tool. And knowing how to use it without burning out or getting fired? That’s the real flex.

S9: E5
In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia breaks down Rule #5 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Network Relentlessly.
Let’s keep it real: networking often feels transactional, awkward, or like something “extroverts do.” But Felicia flips that narrative. Networking isn’t about schmoozing—it’s about building genuine, mutually beneficial relationships.
