💡 World-Famous Workplace Surgery:

📌 Q1: Hotdesking Nightmare—Do I Have Any Rights?

📌 Q2: My Manager Avoids Giving Negative Feedback

  • A new leader admits they sugarcoat constructive criticism and end up redoing their team’s work. How do they tackle tough conversations without losing their team’s trust?

📌 Q3: My Coworker Accidentally Keeps Taking Credit for My Ideas

  • A listener’s extroverted colleague keeps getting credit for their work, but they don’t think it’s intentional. How do they fix this without sounding petty?

🎧 What’s Next?

This Thursday, we sit down with Dr. Marie-Hélène Pelletier, one of the world’s top experts on resilience. Think resilience is just about “pushing through”? Think again. MH will share science-backed strategies to protect well-being, avoid burnout, and stay at the top of your game.
