Right off the bat, Deb Weiss surprised me with her chosen topic. Deb is one hundred percent passionate about the topic that everyone I’ve talked to the podcast about has happily avoided. Business acumen may seem like the least “sexy” or “dishy” topic, but it’s changed her level of confidence, her ability to succeed professionally, and her level of success. Deb beautifully explains that if you want to be understood and feel more confident at work… learn to speak the language of your company and how things get done. This is a critical tool to help you stand out professionally as a high-value employee and leader.
