This week, Aoife's solo episode is coming to you live from sunny Tenerife, focusing on the issue of toxic workplaces and the practical steps you can take to improve your working situation.

Aoife delves into the task of maintaining a happier working environment, shares tips for dealing with frustrations at work, and unpacks the importance of aligning your core values with your chosen workplace. Aoife also reminds us that if you're feeling stuck at work, you have options and that leaving is okay. Further key points throughout include:

Take back your power and boost your confidence

Making time to focus on what you want

Aligning your core values with your needs and strengths

"People are ten times more likely to resign from an organisation if they find themselves in a toxic environment, compared to their likelihood of resigning due to pay-related matters." – Aoife O'Brien.

Transcript

Aoife O'Brien: 00:00
