24 NOV 2022 · We all fantasize about working in a pristine metropolis with lush resources, the latest technology, admirable culture practices, noble leaders and brilliant teammates. If you’re lucky enough to get close to that in reality, the forcefield of your work oasis can be easily compromised by competing firms with similar tech, jockeying co-workers with personal vendettas, departing leaders who can no longer protect your interests, a dethroned peer-mentor, or even a consequential alliance. The Access Point hosts Dr. Edmonds & Dr. Morris welcome special guest Dr. Yvelle Lee to chat about how to show up and show out when the landscape of your work Wakanda is shifting.
