Say It Skillfully® – Being underestimated, mental health & more

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 62 Molly’s first caller, Joey, is excited about a job offer from an industry leader, but not fully clear on the actual role; he asks about getting clarity. Next, Brett has a new boss after a reorg and is keen for how to contribute his expertise (which his boss doesn’t have) without ruffling feathers. (10:30). I tackle a couple of topics: when others underestimate your capability and also engendering a real conversation on diversity (28:00). Lastly, Heidi asks how to advise a friend in need of mental health support from work, though she isn’t sure how to raise this sensitive topic without risking that others diminish their perceptions of her (37:00). Tune in and learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
