Stand Out at Work: Mastering Confidence and Leadership When Feeling Uncertain About Your Career

After working his way up to a director-level role at his job, Chris faced an unexpected reality... The company no longer valued his contributions. But instead of giving in to self-doubt, he made a bold move that caught even his boss—and his boss’s boss—off guard. This step allowed Chris to claim control over his future in a way no one saw coming. In this episode of The Working While Black Show, my guest, a Storytelling & Public Speaking Coach, shares how to transform career uncertainty into your greatest advantage. We also explore the power of building genuine relationships at work and using positive disruption to stand out in the workplace.

Whether you're stuck in your current position or ready to level up your leadership presence, this episode provides actionable strategies to help you master confidence and stand out authentically in your career. Chris shares personal stories and practical wisdom from his journey from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship.
