How to negotiate effectively with Wendy Chow
Despre acest podcast
The world of work is changing, fast. The full range of human emotion can happen on the job: ambition and failure, joy and burnout, confidence and self-doubt. Company builder Molly Graham knows all about those messy feelings – and she believes they can actually be the roadmap to a meaningful career. On WorkLife, Molly sits down with all kinds of people – founders and operators, entertainers and creatives – to explore how to build a career without losing yourself. Each week, she’ll uncover the messy stories behind the shiniest successes, and share the real lessons about work that no one ever posts on Linkedin.
