About this episode

Today’s teacher is Joan Kuhl, the founder of Courage to Stay, author of Dig Your Heels In, and an advocate for corporate inclusivity. Joan’s work helps women who are thinking of jumping ship from the corporate world assess their options, build career endurance, and start having the courageous conversations they need to have to create the change they deserve. 

 

And creating change is exactly why we’ve asked Joan to join us today. For many women, we identify as being a “people pleaser” and putting the needs of others ahead of our own. And that quest to be well-liked is not exactly leading to the professional results we hoped for but Joan has some great advice to help us overcome that.

 

And because we’re here for that real-talk advice, be sure to stick around till after Joan’s teachable moment because we’ll be answering your listener questions starting with how do manage your workload when you have multiple managers who all give you work to do.

 

You can submit your career questions for us to answer on future episodes by leaving us a voicemail at 844-FEMAILS.
