In this Episode, we address a tough but important reality: not everyone you encounter in your career will be supportive. Detractors, whether passive or active, can undermine your performance, stall your progress, or chip away at your confidence. We explore how to identify different types of detractors, from backstabbers to risk-avoiders, and offer practical strategies for navigating these relationships without losing your momentum. While detractors can’t always be avoided, they can be managed and even turned around with awareness, communication, and a solid game plan. When handled wisely, these challenges can strengthen your resilience and sharpen your professional instincts.
