This week on Floor 47 of Corporate Courtney, I'm discussing Office Politics. Office Politics focuses on advancing self-interest over a common interest. And as toxic as this sounds, it's the name of the game in Corporate America. I tackle the disparity in the rules and how Black women are at a disadvantage.  Find me on Instagram and Twitter _CorporateCourt  Email Me at TheCorporateCourtneyPodcast@gmail.com

Megan Thee Stallion, Simone Biles, and Corporate Courtney Interns all learning to embrace the skill of brag. On this week's floor, I discuss the need to identify your skills and discuss them in the workplace. The Squeaky Wheel get the oil" and "The Quiet Qualified suffer".

This week on Corporate Courtney I discuss the close of mental health awareness month. How the buzz of a four-day work week nationally promotes productivity and Queen Naomi Osaka's brave stand for boundaries closed out May. Maybe Mental health in Corporate America needs to be more than an internal communication newsletter. 

On this week's Floor, I vent about leadership not talking to their folks on the ground and being cautious of support that doesn't yield change. Its too easy to tell your people you see them and hear them and not rock the boat above you to make changes. Just another day in the world of Product Management. 

A year into Corporate Courtney and I get a real-life scenario to remind me of why I started a podcast for Black Women in Corporate America. The Microaggressions I have the "opportunity" to deal with in a simple interview. LaBria, Lakeisha I feel for you!

This week on Corporate courtney I discuss the benefits of the 8 to 5, 9 to 5, Corporate America life. 

On this water cooler chat, I address the unfortunate murder of 8 people in Atlanta, GA this week. The heavy heart I've had over the last few days as we try and process the violence against the Asian community in America and show support with my brothers and sisters as we begin dialogue about race in this country with Asian Americans at the forefront. 

This week on Corporate Courtney, I praise women in the workplace and specifically those of us in male-dominated fields. I also, discuss balancing both the masculine and feminine energies to be successful in these places.
