Have you ever worked for a boss who liked coaching & developing people?
“I miss working for a manager who enjoys coaching me,” Tori told me.
Fortunately, her first manager loved developing people. But her current manager doesn’t.
“I really enjoy my work, my teammates, and our clients,” Tori explained. “But I’m considering leaving. My new manager demeans me.”
Tori’s a whip-smart rising star who gives her all. Yet her manager constantly finds fault in Tori, instead of tapping into her wealth of talents and insights.
Recently, her manager returned a report Tori wrote with unsupported criticisms like “this is dumb,” and “boring.”
These are toxic comments. They poison Tori’s good intentions.
Tori’s wise to plan an exit. I’ve seen too many people linger in a toxic environment. Over time, this kind of nastiness can make you question, doubt, and second-guess yourself.
The longer you stay in an unhealthy environment that harder it is to feel confident. You take the toxicity with you — until you consciously recover from it.
If your confidence at work is low due to a toxic boss or culture, I’m launching a Toxic Work Recovery Program, so you can get your mojo and your best self back.

? Truth time: Most resumes don’t stand out—and that’s exactly why so many job seekers get ghosted.
Your resume isn’t just a list of jobs. It’s your first impression, your pitch, your permission slip to get in the door.
After working with hundreds of job seekers, I’ve noticed a pattern: the best resumes aren’t just “well-written.” They’re strategic. They show value, impact, and intention.
But here’s the thing—we all approach resumes differently. So I’m curious…
What’s helped you land interviews (or stand out in a sea of sameness)?
And if you’re feeling stuck? I’ve got resources to help. ?

Trying to avoid pressing my nose up against the glass too much
I found out last week that our boss took a few team members on a leadership seminar trip. I feel like I should have been invited as well. I've done a great job, reviews are stellar, they give me impressive raises, and I've been hitting several milestones. The only thing these particular employees have over me is that they've been with the org for a few years longer than I have-- and, as if it should matter at all, they have political connections within our org (friends/family). Still, I have solid industry experience that matches or surpasses theirs. Not sure why I was overlooked. Maybe it's just not my time?

Do recruiters care if you reschedule the interview?
I’m sick and have an upcoming interview. The interview is with the in house recruiter via video so assuming it won’t be the most difficult interview. Not sure if I should wing it or risk losing the job if I reschedule because I know they hate that and also not sure where they are in the hiring process.
