If you’re sick of being told “bring your whole self to work!” and having zero idea what that means, this episode is for you. Claude Silver, author of Be Yourself at Work, joins Melody to discuss how to discover who you want to be at work after years of being defined by comparison, what your options are when your current role doesn't feel like a fit, and how to lead with emotional intelligence while driving accountability and results.
