Share your question here – any question and I will give you my best advice. We can create strategies for, but not limited to: struggles in your role, management of a difficult employee, the boss that’s not nice or unreasonable, co-workers that don’t work, the interview process, the negotiating process, building a career, transitioning a career, getting a mentor, being a mentor, getting sponsored, dating at work or not, feeling less included, when to stay, when to leave and the list goes on!
