The Corporate Cleanse
Hi, I’m Jen, and I sold my soul to corporate ladder climbing, a big salary, the fancy exec title, and corporate gold stars (which, as it turns out, are mostly company t-shirts and crisp high fives). Where did I find myself? Flat on my ass—needing a serious detox from corporate life. Join me as we discuss rebuilding your soul after the corporate charm has worn off (and maybe how to navigate corporate climbing while keeping some of your soul). We’ll also discuss rebuilding your identity, resetting your relationship with money, speaking up without being an asshole, and finding and keeping your calm—and, ultimately, finding success and self-love through it all.
The Corporate Cleanse
Dealing with toxic leadership
Chances are, you have encountered or will encounter toxic leadership in your career. If you're experiencing this, let me remind you: you are not crazy. Toxic leadership isn’t benign and you aren't just “overreacting" or "being too sensitive”. Toxic leadership creates environments of fear and low morale and that is traumatic. Spending 40+ hours in an environment like that is traumatic.
Toxic leadership is so incredibly tough, but.... kind of unavoidable. I do think there is some freedom in that realization. There is freedom is a radical understanding of where you end and others begin and letting go of everything that you can’t control.
In today's episode we talk about how CEOs are faring right now in the media (** not well **), how to identify toxic leadership, and three paths forward.
Also, listening to Taylor Swift’s Karma helps me too. Karma is a cat, purring in my lap cause it loves me.
