In 2019, I looked good on the outside. My insides, another story. More like a Jenga tower ready for one wrong move, and splat.

That’s when I met Mary Abbajay.

Matter of fact.

Full of and vinegar and those words,

"You know, nobody is gonna save you"

Today, years later I still credit her, her words to my ability to remove and save myself.

Mary is no stranger to toxic bosses and workplaces – having been there herself.

This is precisely what led her to writing "Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss," is a practical guide to thriving in any work environment.

In addition, she hosts the "Cubicle Confidential" podcast, where she shares powerful tips and strategies for achieving career success.

In this episode, we discuss how to:

• Spot workplace toxicity and taking control of your work experience

We’re delving into the fascinating topic of gratitude and how ingratitude – a lack of gratitude is too often the very thing that kills off, most leaders want – to inspire others.

We're joined by the incomparable Chris Schembra, a Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, and mastermind behind the 7:47 Gratitude Experience™.

Chris is a true gratitude, having sparked over 500,000 relationships through his evidence-based framework.

Chris and I explore the toxic effects of ingratitude and entitlement in our careers and how a practice of gratitude can help limit or even eliminate it.

Chris shares his inspiring journey too because he started out like many of us – full of NO gratitude until he stumbled upon it, leading him to his life’s work to strengthen client and team relationships. Today, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in business, entertainment, and sports. His work has earned him critical acclaim and numerous awards, including 2 Emmy Awards for his viral campaign giving tribute and thanks to Veterans.

Don't miss out on this juicy discussion!

Niraj Kapur is one of my favs because he’s earnest, generous and

rewards himself with heavy metal band t-shirts.

He’s a LinkedIn top voice, three-time author, TedTalk speaker, Salesforce Top Sales Influencer to Follow and a trusted sales coach.

Best of all, he dispels the stereotypes most associated with as a sales leader,

known for raw truths, vulnerability, and helping others with NO profit motive.

In this episode, Niraj shares his personal experience of overcoming trauma after his divorce and why he asked for help from his parents as a grown man.

“I did something I really didn't want to do. I asked for help. And I reached out to my elderly retired parents. I said please help me and that's really difficult to do, especially when you're a grown man., At the time it felt horrible, but looking back it was a smartest thing I could do”

He explains why asking for help is what smart people do.

Why it’s stinky to think asking for help is a sign of weakness, and

Why it needs to be seen as a sign of strength and career catalyst to move forward.

Niraj doesn’t hold back (ever)

Like me, he shares his frustration when giving free help and seeing people not taking advantage of it because there's nothing worse than seeing unfulfilled potential in others.

If you’re resisting asking for help, this episode has your name on it.

Whether it’s in your job search, crappy dead-end position, struggling with a toxic boss, or culture

we’ve got you.
