Escape from the Zombie Boss
Saturday, October 26, 2024 - 3:05pm to 3:50pm
Zombie bosses or colleagues are everywhere â they hide in plain sight and smile at you, but behind the scenes they are working up a storm to bring you down. They may harass you, steal your work, malign your reputation, or worse. How do you escape, survive, and thrive? In this session, Alaina G. Levine will lead us through the various scenarios in which a zombie boss or colleague reveals their true colors so you can be aware of the warning signs. We will then plot your escape â in a professional manner of course, that distances you from the perpetrator while maintaining and even improving your own reputation. Itâs not always easy to get away from a zombie, but it is important to remember that it is doable and necessary, especially if you want to preserve your mental, physical, and emotional health and advance your own career. You can take ownership, reclaim your power, and get out of that abusive relationship. We will show you how!
