Dr. Laura revisits the topic of toxic bosses with in-depth information about the differences between a difficult boss and a toxic boss. In conducting studies and reading research on toxic bosses for the book she's writing, Dr. Laura has gathered an immense amount of knowledge on identifying, differentiating, dealing with, and surviving toxic bosses. In this episode, she illustrates how a difficult boss is not necessarily a toxic boss and why this difference matters.One of the main differences Dr. Laura points to is that while a difficult boss can be unpleasant to work with, they are manageable and can be navigated. A toxic boss, however, is not a sustainable person to work for as they are incredibly bad for mental health, physical health, and career progression. Dr. Laura breaks down all the ways we can differentiate between a difficult and toxic boss through their personal styles of management, levels of micromanagement, whether they communicate poorly or with dishonest and manipulative intentions, and how it feels when working with them. This episode expands our understanding of toxic bosses and adds more information to our knowledge bank so that toxic bosses can be more readily identified and, hopefully, avoided.“And the biggest difference, really, is that you can find ways to manage a difficult boss, and you cannot do so with a toxic boss. A toxic boss is really damaging to your engagement, your productivity and your wellbeing.” Dr. LauraAbout Dr. Laura:Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett is a work and career psychologist and thought leader on the evolution of work. She has always been fascinated by how work intersects with life and loves to use her expertise to improve organizations and help people thrive.

Dr. Laura welcomes best-selling author, speaker, consultant, and president of Careerstone Group, Mary Abbajay, to the show to talk about her book Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss. Through Careerstone Group, Mary offers different organizational and leadership solutions for businesses and government. Her vast experience with all types of bosses, which her book focuses on, compliments Dr. Laura's research into the toxic ones.Mary speaks to how the relationship with one's boss needs to be managed and requires effort to be productive. Through her work, she hears a lot of complaining from both sides without evidence that there's enough attention put towards creating a positive relationship. Mary and Dr. Laura discuss the differences between sucking up and managing up, the positive reactions from bosses and managers to her book, why HR may not be the best place to get help for dealing with a toxic boss, and how to handle toxic management in the workplace. This conversation is filled with real insight from Mary's experience dealing with all manner of leadership. “But managing up the way I see it is about not managing the person, but managing that relationship. It's like taking that power differential and turning it on its side, because in a relationship we all have agency, right? We all have advocacy. And so managing up is about making a concerted and intentional, sometimes a strategic effort to build a productive and positive working relationship so that you can succeed.” Mary AbbajayAbout Mary Abbajay:Mary Abbajay, author of the best-selling, award-winning Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss is the president of Careerstone Group, LLC, a full-service organizational and leadership development consultancy that delivers leading-edge talent and organizational development solutions to business and government.

Welcome to Real Job Talk, Mary Abbajay! Mary is a speaker, consultant, and trainer who works with managers and teams to create productive workplaces. She also teaches at the university and post-graduate level, speaks at numerous conferences, and is an active volunteer. Mary is the CEO of the Careerstone Group, and the author of Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BB4QFDF/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1). Mary wants to make the world a better place by making the workplace a better place. We asked Mary what the biggest challenge has been in the workplace over the last year, and she talks about how teams, managers, and companies weren’t prepared for remote work. Many people figured out how to manage up when they were in the office, but were lost when everything went remote. Bosses changed their approaches and life became complicated. In the beginning of the pandemic, Mary taught managers some skills about remote work such as learning how to manage with results and staying connected. She saw that managers didn’t know how to juggle everything and also manage remotely, and she reminds us to have empathy for our managers too. Managing up isn’t about sucking up and licking boots. It’s about managing that relationship and making sure it’s working well for you, your boss, and your organization. Keys to managing up: understanding the manager has influence over our career, and we can’t change them. People who manage up well understand that adapting how we react to others is an empowering skill. You know The Golden Rule - treat others how you want to be treated. For managing up, try The Platinum Rule -- learn how others like to be treated and then do that. When you give others what they need, it builds trust. Read your boss and how they communicate in order to figure out what will work best for them. Things to look for in your boss: are they focused on tasks or the big picture, do they have a fast-paced or slower work style, and do they like sharing a lot of info or just the highlights. Once you’ve assessed their style, you need to decide how you can and want to adjust. Mary has a conversational template for preferences, priorities and pet peeves….it’s your job to have it with them to build a shared framework for how the relationship will work. LCLD Manage Up HO_2020 You can have a check-in with them using this doc individually or as a team. Learning about them will change the dynamic of how you work together. How do you get better at managing up? First, have the conversation. Train yourself. See who is successful with the boss, and observe them ask them what works. A little of self-awareness, responsibility, and be willing to share new things grows this skill like any other. Mary tells a great story about a micromanager boss and how she changed their dynamic by reading her and how to best work with her Never assume that your boss knows what you’ve accomplished, are working on, or how valuable you are. It’s on YOU to show them how fabulous you are. Keep them in the loop and stay on their radar. Give until they tell you they don’t want it. Big rule: use that cc unless your boss doesn’t like it. The power of the cc is to have your boss know what you’re up to, but also to keep them in the loop so they aren’t caught unaware. Talk about work boundaries, your environment, and if and how you need help with flexibility. There are different types of bosses with keys to each: The “Normal” Boss. This category covers most poeple, whether they are introverts or extroverts, and across different management styles, like advancers, harmonizers, and energizers. The keys to an normal but introverted boss are to be proactive, stay on their calendar, tell them what you want to talk about, and give them time to speak. Manage your chatting….it drives them nuts! The key to an normal "evaluator" boss: they love details and accuracy. Learn to love the details and have the facts when you meet with them. “Difficult” bosses come in different styles, like micromanagers, impulsive boss, seagull boss, ghost-boss, work-a-holic, and “friend boss.” The key to micromanagers is to over-communicate and show them that you will do things the way they want you to. They need to get what they need. “Toxic” basses are those who humiliate, debase, abuse, bully, or are narcissists. Bad people who create toxic work environments. The main key to a toxic boss is to: 1. Get out! You can’t change an asshole, a narcissist, or a bully. Get out. If you find yourself working for a narcissist, you do need to be a kiss ass until you get out, but you have to determine how long you can do that and you protect your professional image. Remember they will raise themselves by pulling you down. In general, managing up is about finding the right strategy that will work with “this boss.” Mary has a great talk on YouTube about successfully working remotely (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZDKYyYOLC0). She advises to stay on the radar, invite your boss for a virtual, meaningful coffee. Ask your boss their preferred communication channel, and USE IT. Ask for feedback on what’s working well and not well, and ask if they’d like to see you change something, and tell them what you think would help. Stay positive and show some concern for your boss. Stay away from negativity and complaints without actions or suggestions Being a complainer is a drain and will do nothing for your career. We asked about working with someone who is fundamentally different from us (e.g., an extrovert working with an introvert). Mary's advice: bring your best authentic self that the situation calls for and build the muscles that will push you to work with others. As always, you need to manage yourself first before you manage others You are the CEO of your career.

The Covid19 Pandemic has impacted brands globally, but the latest survey published by WPP and Kantar of the Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands of 2020 shows, that Global Brands have increased their total brand value by 6% over the last 12 months, adding $277 billion to reach $5 trillion in total value. True, the health crisis causes a broader economic downturn, as Travel has been decimated. Yet, TRADE and E-COMMERCE - especially of High Value Brands – continues to increase. So, in this episode of ‘Covid19 – from crisis to creation' we are looking how a strong brand and a sustainable branding strategy generates resilience during tough economic conditions. What does it take for a company to scale not only successfully around the planet but in a way that can weather ANY TYPE of Black Swan Event? AND we want to make it specific and Focus on ‘Made in Italy' in the biggest Economy of the world, the USA! In 2018 Italy's exports to the US totaled more than 50bn US, about 10 % its total export volume toping 540bn USD a year. The US is Italy's largest NON-EU export mkt. The latest report by WPP and Kantar showed that well-loved Italian-brands such as Gucci, Kinder, Ferrari, Prada, Nutella, Armani, Fendi and Pirelli, last year increased their brand value increased by over 14% to around $97 billion. To get some insights, I invited the newly appointed US Trade Commissioner and Executive Director of the Italian Trade Agency – Antonino Laspina - for some key insights on Mentorit.TV - About Antonino Laspina: He joined the ITA (now part of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Economic Corporation) and moved to its headquarters in Rome/1981. Since then he served as trade commissioners in various posts around the world, mainly in Asia, including his period as Director of the ICE Beijing office.

[00:13:06] As far as nextTick goes, Ben wants to know if this is something that Ari and Tessa would recommend people only reach out to when things start to be inconsistent or when should someone use this? [00:18:55] Ben wants to know if nextTick is used improperly can it cause performance issues or not quite? [00:23:54] Tessa wonders if Vue3 comes out, if she follows the style where her JS is at the top of her single file component and open it, she will see at the top what props it accepts and also what events that she has decided this component will emit?

The Power of Motivation Staying Motivated for your Workouts with Support from the Community:Featuring Mike Rosa From Anabolic Aliens Fitness motivators and influencers are the top encouragers in our Fitness community, but where is that motivation coming from? What does it mean to motivate? In the fitness community we motivate because we achieve goals. When we reach our milestones and continue building success in our training programs, we become empowered with confidence. When you first step into the world of fitness it can be a very overwhelming place. With several different workouts and diet plans, it's easy to get lost in all of the information and any hopes of success would appear unattainable. Without focusing too heavily on a beginner lesson, we clear up a small amount of confusion by focusing on these helpful tips: Focus on the small goals, while still having long term goals. Aim for lasting results, not a temporary fix. Create a life around health and fitness, instead of adding fitness to your current life. It's all about how you approach it. In an ultra compressed way to explain it, I would say it's a process of transitioning your current habits, into new better choice habits. Any Type of Exercise can be Helpful According to studies encompassing good moods and physical activity, it's been found that people who work out even once a week for as little as 10 minutes a day have a tendency to be more content than those who never exercise. Another interesting fact is that exercise has also been proven to lower stress levels, increase energy, boost metabolism, and build confidence. All of these factors feed into our confidence, driving us to further our greatness. How you use that confidence, is what defines who you are. In one hand we have the motivated. These people use all of their confidence and energy to hone their skills. These masters of consistency dedicate all of that confidence into their training to continue to push past their limits. In the other hand we have the motivators. The people who share their confidence and dedicate themselves to helping others succeed. The drive to help others comes directly from our experiences. We tell people they can do something, because we know it can be done from personal experience. All the online trainers, influencers, and fitness gurus out their are able to do all of this because they have built a passion for the lifestyle. That passion is what they are passing on to their viewers, clients, and followers. Mike Rosa CEO Anabolic Aliens When it comes to motivating others, there is no one more passionate about his work or as dedicated to helping others than Mike Rosa, CEO/Founder of Anabolic Aliens. If you haven't found Mike via his constantly growing YouTube channel, and his legendary 5 minute workout series, we highly recommend checking him out! In a quick 5 year span, Mike has amassed nearly 700,000 followers on his YouTube channel for his amazing content he creates to help athletes of all skill levels. With a BA in Nutrition and Wellness and 2 Powerlifting World records behind his lifting belt, Mike is set in stone as one of the top Fitness Influencers in our social world! The P1Team has been following Mike for some time now, and what impresses us most about him is his limitless work ethic. From dropping workout videos daily for an entire month on YouTube and Instagram, providing personal coaching, creating his Exerprise mobile app and building his Anabolic Aliens brand, no one “gets after it” better than Mike Rosa. He has a natural gift for inspiring others, and stands out from the rest by really making you feel involved in his workouts instead of just following a routine. With the perfect mix of fitness motivation and workout knowledge, you'll find no better person to get your fit life jump started, or improve on your current goals! With an overwhelming struggle comes an unmatched unity, especially in the fitness community.

While that prediction didn't exactly come true, that's not stopping some from attempting to get rick from moon rocks. Pretend you're an intern and decide to steal some rocks that are out of this world! Special thanks to Katherine Garbera! Check out her Space Cowboys series: ### No Limits (https://amzn.to/36bMJvw) *Some cowboys are outta this world… * Astronaut Jason "Ace" McCoy tried to escape Cole's Hill, Texas—and the memory of Molly Tanner's dark eyes and strawberry-scented hair—among the stars. Now he and Molly have jointly inherited her father's struggling ranch. And having failed his latest medical tests, Ace is on leave—maybe forever. He's determined to sort things out with the ranch and get back to Houston as soon as possible. What he isn't counting on is that Molly's only gotten more beautiful over the years. He can't promise anything as long as there's a chance to go on another mission. But even in orbit, this attraction has no rules…and no limits. ### Pushing the Limits (https://amzn.to/2NoTy4u) *"Houston, we have a hot-astronaut problem…" * Survival expert and control freak Jessie Odell has faced the most hazardous environments on earth. Training astronauts should be a cakewalk. Nope. Enter candidate Hemi "Thor" Barrett. Hemi isn't just some distraction. Jessie actually likes the guy—and that makes him more treacherous than an Everest ascent. It also means Hemi's that much harder to resist. With every hungry, heat-fueled encounter, Jessie skirts closer to that dangerous edge. Falling for this space cowboy is definitely high stakes…but could the payoff be worth the risk? ### Beyond the Limits (https://amzn.to/36m8jgT) This mission is out of control… Astronaut Isabelle Wolsten fought like hell to be one of the final candidates for the CRONUS mission to space. She can't afford to be distracted by teammate Antonio "Playboy" Curzon. When the two astronauts are put in direct competition for a top spot on the mission, they'll be tested beyond their limits.

Listen now as Roger Nierenberg explains how The Music Paradigm helps you see your organization with fresh eyes! We are delighted to have with us today Roger Nierenberg, an exceptional conductor and innovator who has taken his musical passion and skills and become a “go-to” inspiration for businesses. Through the metaphor of music, Maestro Nierenberg helps organizations “see, feel and think” about themselves with fresh eyes. Quite amazing. Very anthropological, which as you know, is right up our alley! Wait til you hear—and I mean hear—this pioneering musical genius. A Unique Learning Experience for Any Type of Organization What Roger Nierenberg and I discuss in this podcast is the way in which music, and the performance of music, can often be seen as a foreign culture but can also be a powerful metaphor for the organizations in which we work, or work with. As Roger describes his experiences conducting orchestras all over the world, he shares with us how during each performance, the musicians are listening, understanding, sharing, visualizing and changing their performances, not so much in response to him but to each other. Through Roger's descriptions, we too can see our own methods of interacting with others more clearly by watching performers collaborate in a musical experience. It isn’t because they are just talented performers. Rather, they have learned how to work together to bring out each one's skills and create an amazing performance. Might this apply to your organization? The Music Paradigm Through Roger's experiences engaging with community businesses and civic leaders, he became curious about the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations in times of rapid change. Again, right up our alley—at SAMC we're all about change. He realized how crucial issues of organizational development could be powerfully brought to life within an orchestra. Thus was born The Music Paradigm, a highly effective learning experience that uses symphonic music to illuminate compelling insights about people at work. Participants are seated directly among the orchestra musicians, observing them as they perform. Up close, they see fascinating and unexpected organizational dynamics taking place within the group. It soon becomes clear that this is not a demonstration but a powerful forum where observers gain fresh understanding about the opportunities and challenges faced by their own organization. Over the past 20 years, Roger has presented The Music Paradigm to hundreds of different organizations, from civic groups to Fortune 500 companies, in 23 different countries. He explains many of the lessons learned in his book, "Maestro: A Surprising Story About Leading by Listening," which was honored in 2009 as the Best Leadership Book from 800-CEO-READ. Andy and I are both fans of philharmonic concerts and we find The Music Paradigm to be really quite amazing. It allows you to bring something that often is not well attended (symphony orchestra performances) into your workplace as a magical method for improving your team, your organization, your relationships with clients, and your culture. Who is Roger Nierenberg? Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher Hall with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra, and soon thereafter was invited to conduct operas in two successive seasons at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York’s Lincoln Center. Numerous guest conducting engagements followed with many of the great American symphony orchestras, including those of Austin, Baltimore, Charleston, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, New Jersey, San Diego, St. Louis and Utah, as well as New York’s American Symphony Orchestra, Washington D.C.’s National Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Abroad, Roger has recorded with the London Philharmonic and conducted at both the Prague Spring Festival with the Czech Radio Orchestra and the Beijing Festival with the Shanghai Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra. Other performances include engagements with the London Mozart Players, Mexico’s National Symphony Orchestra, the Nova Scotia Symphony and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra. Roger has appeared at numerous summer festivals, including the Tanglewood Institute, the Grand Teton Music Festival, the Colorado Festival, the National Repertory Orchestra and the Madeira Bach Festival. He has also collaborated with many of the most renowned solo artists and composers of our time. Roger makes his home in New York City and has two children, a son who is a professional pilot and a daughter who is studying French horn.

75% of people say their boss is the most stressful part of their workday. Couple that with the fact that 56% of American workers claim their boss is mildly or highly toxic boss, then poor management becomes a serious obstacle to employee wellbeing. Today's guest, Mary Abbajay, provides valuable insight into the many facets of a bad boss. Mary is the president of Careerstone Group, LLC, a full service organizational and leadership development consultancy that delivers leading-edge talent and organizational development solutions to business and government. She’s also the author of Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed with Any Type of Boss.

Mary also tells us her own bad boss story and leaves us with tangible tips for both managers and wellness pros who may want to broach this subject in their organization.

Selling on eBay for Beginners 2018: Do This ONE THNG Every Day! Maybe you are the person who is just getting started with eBay, and you're trying to figure out how to learn about what to buy and sell. If this is you, I want to give you one piece of advice: Study the sold listings. That's it. Study the sold listings. If you go over to eBay, you can search through various categories. So, for example, if you wanted to learn about clothing, you could go into the clothing category and then filter out exactly what you want to study in the sold listings. The sold listings button is essentially just a button that you click, and it shares with you everything that has sold on eBay. Click To Watch This Video On YouTube... How to Build a Foundation of Knowledge What I recommend you do is study the sold listings every single day for 90 days for 30 minutes per day. Doing this exercise is going to help you to build an amazing foundation. So if you want to learn about clothing, the first thing I would do is narrow it down a little bit more. Do you want to sell kids' clothing? Do you want to sell men's clothing? Women's clothing? High-end clothing? What type of clothing do you want to sell? When I was getting started, I wanted to sell mid- to higher-end men's clothing. What I would do is go over to eBay into the men's clothing section. I would filter out what I was looking for. I was mostly looking to buy from thrift stores and garage sales, so I would filter out used items because most of the items I were finding were used. I would filter out Buy It Now because that was how I was mostly going to be selling my items. I filtered out US only because I am in the United States. And then I would filter out price ranges of $20 and more. Essentially what that was doing was setting myself up with a particular type of item that I wanted to learn about and to be prepared for when I found it in a thrift store. I was trying to find items that had a good market, that were selling on a regular basis in the United States, and that customers were purchasing via Buy It Now. And I would just go through and study for 30 minutes every single day. Some days I would actually narrow down a little deeper into the men's clothing and study dress shirts. Another day I would study shorts. Another day I would study pants. Another day I would study T-shirts. And over a 90-day period or so, I built a really strong foundation. If you're trying to figure out what to buy and sell on eBay that has a market and will make you a profit, you need to study the sold listings. It Works for Any Type of Item You can do this for anything—clothing, toys, ballpoint pens, wallets, ties, computer items, collectibles, vintage items. The list goes on and on. This is the best advice that I ever received when I was first getting started, and I want to pass this along to you. The people who succeed in this business are consistently learning. They're growing. They're going out and experimenting with new items. They're putting themselves in a position to get lucky. Go out there, study the sold listings, and build yourself a strong foundation so you can make money reselling for years.
