Ep 35 - Sensitive Strivers w/ Melody Wilding

Are you sensitive and ambitious? Do you go through life and work battling with what you "should" do/say versus what feels more natural? Do you hate the idea of office politics? Well, get ready to feel seen ... Melody Wilding is with us to discuss her new book, TRUST YOURSELF: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions at Work. Melody is a Licensed Master Social Worker, and executive coach, who has coached hundreds of private clients, from CEOs and Fortune 500 execs to leaders from the US Dept of Education, the Federal Reserve and the United Nations. Being highly attuned to your emotions, your environment, and the behavior of others can be the keys to success, but they can also lead to overthinking everything and burnout. In her new book, Melody examines the intersection of sensitivity and achievement in the workplace and offers neuroscience-based strategies you can use to reclaim control of your life and reach your full potential. Trust Yourself offers concrete steps to help what Wilding calls “sensitive strivers” – empathetic, driven individuals—break free from stress, perfectionism, and self-doubt to achieve confidence, overcome imposter syndrome, speak and act with assertiveness, build resilience, and find the confidence to work and lead effectively.
