There are many characteristics one needs to have to succeed in the workplace. We often hear the importance of being an exceptional communicator, having a strong work ethic, and being creative, just to name a few. However, there’s one critical characteristic often overlooked… likeability. 

Why is this so essential? Because the more that people like you, the more likely they are to trust you, which gives you influence. This is because the majority of our success at work is based upon our ability to effectively manage relationships...with our leaders, co-workers, customers, and vendors. Listen to this episode to learn about how you can become a more likeable person without sacrificing your opinions, your voice, or your values.
