Jesus Wasn’t Crucified On The Cross For Us To Be Miserable At Work: Easter Edition of Trill Thoughts

By Trill MBA Show — 3 days ago

S3:Ep 16

If you are unhappy at work, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share what lessons we as Black Women can take from the story of Jesus’s crucifixion and apply to our career management. There is a lot we can take from this story, regardless if Jesus is your home boy or not. The lesson of discomfort and pain, perceived failure, redemption, and never giving up on your purpose. In this lesson, I truly believe Jesus was crucified on the cross so that we would not have to be miserable and suffer at work. Seriously, I know you may think it sounds crazy but hear me out.

By Trill MBA Show — 4 weeks 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.

Don’t Be Scurred! Just Ask For Help

By Trill MBA Show — 2 months ago

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

I wanted to talk about the fear of asking for help, how to ask for help, and tips to set yourself up for success. So I called one of the sharpest and baddest Corporate Warriors, one of my favorite mentees, Jessika Banks. 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.
I also created the 3 Step Sure Fire Method to Ask For Help, Without Getting Dinged. To get this guide, Join Our Safe Space
