Do you ever ask yourself: Was it ok that I told that story? Did I share too much personal information at work today? Is this really an anecdote I can share at work functions?
Oversharing at work can get you in trouble. Whether you tell the wrong story, or you share something with someone who is not trustworthy, you do not want to ruin your career by not being prepared for sharing the right things with people. Even if you are good friends with everyone at work, it is still a place of business, where you want to be professional and make sure what you say will not backfire.
Tune in today, in my career advice for introverts episode on sharing vs. oversharing!

Did you ever have to fire someone?
Just like hiring people for your business, there can be a variety of reasons, brining firing someone to the table. And as unfortunately many companies are known for rather ruthless firing techniques, I think respect and a personal talk, should always be a part of letting someone go.
If you feel like firing someone would be something that you do not feel comfortable doing, Episode 32 on career advice for introverts is for you. Team management sadly also has its challenges, and usually firing employees is one of them.
Rude customers. Clients. Partners.... the list goes on. And at one point in your career we will all encounter one. But do not worry. There are ways to handle customer expectations, and manage a complaint professionally.
It can be stressful, to have a yelling or screaming customer standing in front of you, but do not be overwhelmed. I will share some tricks with you, that will help you handle the situation. And not take it personal!
