Do you suspect that a co-worker is undermining you? You could be dealing with an office backstabber and it’s a common issue in workplaces. HR consultant Natasha Hawker tells The Sydney Morning Herald it's important to understand that such behaviour often comes from a place of insecurity. "Perhaps they feel threatened, undervalued, or are facing their own challenges," she says. One way to deal with a backstabber is to build trust by being transparent, reliable and consistent in your actions. But if that doesn't resolve the issue, Hawker suggests addressing the behaviour directly with the colleague. "Open and honest communication is always the best strategy," she says. In a LinkedIn post, leadership coach Jack Glennon writes that dealing with a toxic colleague can drain your energy and impact your work. "However, by adopting a proactive and positive approach, you not only protect your mental health but also set an example of strong leadership and resilience," he says. ➡ Have you had to deal with an office backstabber? How would you approach a difficult colleague? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts in the comments below.

"For me, there was this big moment of realising, I had to know my audience," says Kathryn Minshew, co-founder of career platform The Muse. Sharing learnings from her experience pitching to investors, her advice for any type of negotiation is to think about what the person on the other side of the table cares about and believes. ➡️ What's one way to pitch an idea successfully at work?

Have you ever struggled to sell a good idea? Kathryn Minshew is an award-winning entrepreneur known for her role co-founding and leading career platform The Muse.

It took getting turned down by hundreds of investors for Minshew to realize she needed to get to know her audience and understand their motivations in order to persuade them. Her advice for any type of negotiation — including a job interview: “Take a step back and think, what does the person on the other side of the table believe? What are their motivations? What do they likely care about?” Because she asked herself these questions and changed her approach to pitching, Minshew raised over $40 million dollars in her tenure as CEO.

It’s important to look beyond surface-level factors when seeking a mentor or coach, writes Maria Malik, a corporate speaking coach, on LinkedIn. Fancy websites, large social media followings, and age may seem impressive, but they don't guarantee results or compatibility, she explains. Instead, she suggests that one considers factors like experience, passion or testimonials from others with a similar background when finding a mentor. ➡ What do you look for when seeking a mentor or coach?

Take a breath and be ready for an extended job hunt. That's what career coach Phoebe Gavin writes for CNBC Make It. Gavin notes that the job search now takes longer than during the post-pandemic economic recovery. To move the process along, Gavin recommends being tactical about your application volume despite anxiousness to finish the journey as soon as possible. She suggests using relevant job descriptions to build a bank of "words, phrases and bullets" that relate to you and your experience. This helps save time in the application process. Also, consider joining professional organizations and associations, Gavin says. That's a way to boost your network. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eiedJ7dG Summary ✍: Todd Dybas #jobsearch

Avoid a frigid delivery with cold emails. Executive coach Charlene Lee says she once received a lengthy, careening and generic message. Only on the second read did she know the person was asking for advice and an introduction to someone else. Lee writes in Fast Company to remind people how they know you when reaching out. Make your note unique and thankful. Also, be clear why you are contacting the person. If you're making an ask, don't forget to show your humanity. Then, offer something specific to them in return. 👉 How do you approach cold emails? Share your tips below. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gFZpi9fs Summary ✍: Todd Dybas 📸: Getty Images #emails
