Lots of issues show up at work that can be difficult to manage. And yet it is important for our own sanity that we feel like we are managing things well.

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! Check out what others have asked!
Give me your problem and I will give you advice. You can add my advice to all of the other advice you have received and decide for yourself what is best and how to move forward.
