  • There’s a lot of talk about finding the right “fit”, workplace culture, toxic work environments etc. but that can all mean so many different things for different people.

  • There are the more obvious benefits of feeling aligned with a position/company, like finding fulfillment in your work, and she highlights some of the other underlying benefits

  • Based on her experience, she highlights what are the biggest red flags regarding toxic work environments and what can we do to prevent ourselves from being in those types of environments
  • What advice she has for someone who might currently be in a toxic work environment
  • She recently posted on LinkedIn about how we are all in control of our careers and specifically mentioned being in control of the spaces that we work in, but what does she say to those who take issue with that
