Stay out of toxic people’s business, seriously.

It astounds me to realize that many corporations and local small business owners can figure out how to add value to the lives of their customers and then go out and sell it. Yet, when it comes to their employees, humiliation and exploitation appear to be a trending feed on most people’s LinkedIn posts.

Chances are you have a personal story of your own about refusing to accept or depend on a toxic work environment to pay the bills. For that, I appreciate you and would love for you to share your thoughts in the comment section after reading to add more ideas for career development.

One of the most significant barriers to mind is young business professionals’ inability to overcome “imposter syndrome.” Even though those who are mid-way and beyond in their career will experience moments of self-doubt, young professionals coming out of college typically lack the training, skill, and experience needed to remind themselves of who they are. Anyone who has ever attempted to start their career out through unpaid internships knows this all too well.
