Ever feel like you are walking on eggshells at work, trying not to say or do the wrong thing? Or wish that you could take a break from the exhausting office politics?

In this episode, I am exploring how to navigate the inevitable politics within your firm. This is not about being 'political' which can be a polite term for someone who lacks substance, but about becoming politically savvy to get things done with minimum noise.

Listen to this episode to discover:

- How to identify the real movers and shakers in your firm, who may not always be the people with the most imposing job titles.

- The importance of self control, and why you need to weigh up each situation carefully before speaking your mind.

- The risk of being part of the office grapevine
