Noise & Nonsense - Why You Still Take the Bait (And How to Stop)

from Career Pivot Accelerator · host Peggy McKnight

You can see the bait coming. You know exactly what's happening. And you still take it. Sound familiar? Today's episode is about the gap between knowing and doing, between recognising workplace bait and actually leaving it alone. We go deep into the neuroscience of why this happens (the amygdala hijack), why difficult workplaces make it worse, and how to build critical thinking as a daily muscle that works even under pressure. Plus an anonymous case study in the most sophisticated form of workplace bait - the kind that doesn't look like bait at all.Book your free Career Clarity Call.
