Navigating a toxic workplace with Stacy Campesi

1 hour 17 minutes

This is one of those conversations that's going to be applicable to 99.9% of you, because who hasn't experienced a toxic workplace at some point in their life??

Whether you're a college student folding clothes at the mall or a Senior VP at a large firm, toxicity ABOUNDS—In the form of cattiness, disengagement, resentment, and groupthink, to name a few culprits.

It's about time we tackled this subject, so we invited Stacy Campesi, one of our very best friends, to share her well-earned advice about how to navigate a toxic work environment. We talked about:

The relationship between toxic workplaces and "good girl syndrome"
Why "toxic" is a misused word, and why using it makes the problem worse
How we can identify an unhealthy environment ahead of time, before we ever make a commitment
When to stick it out, and when it's OK to bail
What steps YOU can take to improve your environment, based on what Stacy has seen work for herself and her clients

DO YOU NEED A CHANGE? (YOU JUST AREN'T SURE WHAT, EXACTLY)

One of the biggest conundrums of a toxic work environment is that it drains your life force to the point that all you can really do is come home, pass out on the couch, and binge Netflix until it's time to go to bed and do it all over again.

When you're stuck in that kind of vicious loop it's hard to get any perspective or clarity. And while you absolutely want to get out of your current situation, you don't necessarily want to jump to something else without being sure it's actually the right move.

That's something we focus on all the time in 1-on-1 coaching. If you need to insert a major disruptor into the toxic loop you're stuck on, reach out to us:
