Ever dealt with someone demanding that you find them a new job? Or have a friend and colleague go cold and ghost you the moment you get laid off?

So how do you find a path forward? That’s what Sara and Jen tackle in this week’s episode. Links:<ul><li><a href="https://hbr.org/2022/11/frontline-work-when-everyone-is-angry">Post-pandemic incivility on the rise</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/what-is-shadow-work">Meet your shadow self</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Life-Changing-Relationships/dp/189200528X">Nonviolent communication and the “Four Ds of Disconnection”</a></li></ul>Got a work situation eating away at you?

When mission-driven gets messy

Was that email rude? Does my boss hate me? Is this place toxic…or is it me? Work raises a lot of questions—and too many of them get stuck in our heads, rattling around until we feel overwhelmed and unqualified. 

No more. Join leadership coaches Jen Dionisio and Sara Wachter-Boettcher as they tackle the topics that come up over and over again with their clients: confusing performance reviews, dysfunctional project teams, and bosses with way too few boundaries. You’ll hear stories from real people struggling with the same stuff you are—like how to say “no” to a new project, or why it’s so hard to speak up in meetings. Because it’s not all in your head: work gets weird. We’ll help you get through it—no passive-aggressive emails required.
