The WORxK Solutions Podcast

Your resume gets you in the door, but your interview gets you the job. Bogdan Zlatkov shares the practice drill that changed his interviews: set a three-minute timer, answer one question out loud five times in a row, and keep your best version.

Dr. Taylor adds her own approach. Record yourself, prepare four to six strong stories you can use across different questions, and know the organization’s mission before you walk in.

Have you ever found yourself saying yes to everyone else while putting your own needs aside?

In this episode of The WORxK Solutions Podcast: The Remix, I'm revisiting my conversation with Pearl Shunza, a mental fitness life coach, author, and speaker, about overcoming people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and learning to say no without guilt.

We discuss how these habits show up at work and in life, why communication and delegation matter, and how women can reconnect with their authentic selves while making room for their own goals.

As WORxK Solutions enters a new season, I'm revisiting conversations that remain relevant to my work in behavioral agility, leadership, and workplace excellence.

Welcome to the Rx for Career Success Podcast! Bogdan Zlatkov spent four months applying to jobs every day while driving Uber to make ends meet. When nothing worked, he flipped the script and started interviewing recruiters over coffee chats.

One recruiter told him she skips resumes that don’t describe each company, because she doesn’t have time to look them all up. Small details like that can cost you an interview.

Hear how his tough job search became Growth Hack Your Career on this episode of the Rx for Career Success Podcast.

In the final part of The Cognitive Hesitation Window: Manager Interventions That Foster Psychological Safety, Dr. Kristy K. Taylor, SHRM-SCP connects the dots between cognitive hesitation, psychological safety, and behavioral agility.

What should a manager do when an employee is hesitant about change?

In Part 4 of The Cognitive Hesitation Window: Manager Interventions That Foster Psychological Safety, Dr. Kristy K. Taylor, SHRM-SCP shifts the focus from telling to coaching.

Instead of immediately trying to correct an employee’s thinking, leaders can slow down, listen, ask better questions, clarify concerns, and create space for employees to work through what the change means for them.

Sometimes the best leadership response isn’t having the answer. It’s asking the right question.

What if an employee’s silence doesn’t mean they agree?

In Part 3 of The Cognitive Hesitation Window: Manager Interventions That Foster Psychological Safety, Dr. Kristy K. Taylor, SHRM-SCP explores why employees need to feel safe enough to ask questions, express concerns, and be honest about how they’re experiencing workplace change.

Because when people are afraid of being labeled “difficult” or “resistant,” they may stop speaking up. And silence doesn’t necessarily mean acceptance.

What happens in that moment before an employee supports, resists, challenges, or adopts a change?

There’s often a space in between.

In Part 2 of The Cognitive Hesitation Window: Manager Interventions That Foster Psychological Safety, Dr. Kristy K. Taylor, SHRM-SCP takes a closer look at what happens during that window and why a simple question like “What does this mean for me?” can shape how an employee responds to change.

Understanding that moment can help leaders respond with more intention instead of immediately labeling hesitation as resistance.
