It sucks to work in a crappy environment – I’m sorry you’re having to go through that. But I want to encourage you and say that while the overall environment may be out of your control, how you show up in it is 100% up to you and by equipping yourself with the skills, mindset and confidence you need, you’re giving yourself the best chance of success.   And more importantly, leadership skills are something you can take anywhere you go. So if you’re serious about playing the long game and creating an incredible career for yourself, remember that joining NMA is about investing in yourself first and your current role second (though you may be surprised at how much of an impact you can have post-NMA, no matter how horrible the environment!)
