S5:Ep 19
In this Producer’s Cut, 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.
S5:Ep 14 Producer’s Cut
In this episode, I speak from my heart about failure and give practical tips to minimize failure in your role. Many times we agree to be held to a standard of success that we did not define. Many times we don’t know what the expectations of us are. How can we exceed goals we don’t know or understand?
The key is in this episode.
Hint: Tap into your inner Claire Huxtable

S3: Ep 52
In this episode, this is the second part of the conversation I had with one of my very accomplished mentors, Joanna Reddick. Joanna and I were having an impromptu mentoring chat. I had the great idea of pulling out the microphones to catch all the nuggets that Joanna was dropping. This conversation was so good, we had to put it in two parts. This is part 2.

S3:Ep 46
In this episode, I discuss two points of frustration at work: 1. BS that we find ourselves unnecessarily involved in, and 2. Being treated with disrespect. I give you some things to think about and language to help you focus on your priorities and professionally defend yourself without being labeled defensive or angry black woman.
S3:Ep 38
In this episode, I have the opportunity to sit down with my little cousin (he’s 20 now but he will always be my favorite 9-year-old with a bow tie) and talk with him about his summer internship experience with a global investment firm. It is the classic okie-doke set up for failure. Let this be a lesson to you. You can interview well, gain the opportunity, get set up to fail… only to be told that you aren’t good enough. Don’t believe the hype.
