Let’s face it, the odds have not been in our favor. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have FAVOR. Change is coming and we just have to keep working and helping each other.

By Trill MBA Show — 6 years 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.

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