The Dangers of External Validation in the Workplace

You're on top of your work, but part of you is always checking – did that land? Did my boss like it? In this episode, Melody explains how constantly seeking your boss's approval drains your confidence and what to do about it. In this episode, she gets into what happens when your focus shifts from doing your job to managing someone else’s reaction. 

What You’ll Discover: 

• How to differentiate managing up from approval seeking 
• Why your boss's approval never actually satisfies you
• The seemingly innocent habit that's secretly broadcasting your insecurity to everyone
• The "filter not sponge" approach that transforms how others’ input affects you
• How "I know my worth" can become a trap if it's your only strategy
