Session: How to be successful in a toxic environment

I believe the most important thing is to recognize when working in a toxic environment is that it is NOT a reflection of who you truly are. Another important coping step is to realize that you cannot control what other people say and do, you can only control your own actions and reactions. As difficult as a toxic work environment may be, never allow yourself to become less than who you are meant to be out of anger or spite for your current employer. Always conduct yourself with integrity and always put in your very best effort toward the job you were hired to do. It is easy to fall into the trap of giving up on the job, but the bottom line is that as long as you are taking a paycheck you have an obligation to give an honest day’s work. Don’t allow yourself to justify personal bad behavior on the failures that exist your company’s leadership.


Key Takeaways

  • Doing things to relieve work stress after work
  • Importance of documentation
  • Creating and looking at positive experience
  • Being a fearless leader
