821: How to Deal with a Difficult Boss

Hosts
Elayne Fluker
Keywords
difficult boss soft skills empathy emotional intelligence adaptability resilience leadership development

As an executive coach, speaker and facilitator of leadership development workshops, I lean into my specialty around Soft Skills -- which are non-technical skills such as empathy, emotional intelligence, adaptability and resilience -- and teach on the topic in diffferent forums. 

One place I teach is as an instructor is on LinkedIn, where I have over 78,000 followers and where one of my courses on "How to Deal with a Difficult Boss" has surged to over 15,000 students in the past couple of weeks. I have lots of theories on why that surge is happening (long story short: folks are stressed, frustrated, under pressure and on edge), but one thing I know for sure, this an area where people need support.

And no matter if you’re climbing the corporate ladder, navigating leadership in a startup, or transitioning into executive roles — at some point, chances are high that you, too, will encounter a boss who… let’s just say, challenges your peace and professionalism.

So on this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, I go deeper on insights from that course "How to Deal with a Difficult Boss" and share 7 powerful soft skills that will help you not only survive a difficult boss — but lead yourself through the experience with confidence, clarity and, of course, support.

819: So Now What? (And Other Questions During Mass Layoffs)

mass layoffs job loss resilience support community income streams executive coaching women leaders

Laid off? Worried about being laid off? You are not alone! It's a tough time and we're all experiencing it together.

In the first two months of 2025, approximately 221,812 Americans have lost their jobs—a 33% increase compared to the same period in 2024*. These losses are across every sector, from government jobs to the private sector, hitting us all hard.

There are no easy answers on when it will end and improve. The uncertainty, the ever-changing workforce and the constant reorgs can lead to stress, anxiety, grief and the looming question: So now what?
  • What should I be doing to prepare myself right now?
  • How do I survive if I lose my income unexpectedly?
  • How can I connect with others so I don't feel alone?
  • How do I remain resilient? 
  • How do I prepare myself for my next chapter? 
  • What are the ways that I create additional streams of income?

  • Where can I turn to for support?

These are the questions that are weighing on the minds of millions of working women. And though hope and prayer offer solace, they are not a substitute for support. You need a community that offers a place where you can be honest about what you're feeling and gain access to experts who can provide guidance to help you navigate these challenging times. 

That is the intention of the So Now What? community. 

As an executive coach for high-performing women, I have supported countless clients on their journeys of personal and professional development. Traditional coaching can require an investment of thousands of dollars, and not everyone can afford that right now. So I feel a deep responsibility to create a space where working women who are struggling can share what they're experiencing and get coaching support.

GO TO sonowwhat.net to find out how you can join this community of supportive women, and listen to this episode to hear all the resources opportunties and insight you'll get by becoming a member for just $9.99.
