How To Be Imperfectly Real At Work (With Meghan Smith)

Are you REAL at work? Or are you hiding behind a façade? It's time to speak your mind unapologetically about the imperfectly real you! Meghan found a way to be imperfectly real in the workplace and bring that culture through her leadership and her communication. In this episode, Meghan Smith, Senior Director of Engineering at Walmart, shares: ✔️ How to communicate your personal challenges at work (like the need to take more time off) and get support instead of being penalized. ✔️ 5 strategies to manage the fear of presenting to a big audience at work. ✔️ The importance of openly taking about what you're not excelling at, being imperfect, and real. ✔️ Why you need to start making your own decisions about your career. ✔️ How the pandemic changed our relationship with work. ✔️ Why taking 24 hours to reflect on feedback or proposal you get. ✔️ The importance of modeling diversity in leadership styles. ✔️ How to give yourself more than just the crust of your energy.   Want to strategize how you can get promoted in the next 6 months?
