In fast-changing companies, some things move so fast that you rarely have time to consult the business books when questions arise. Welcome to Frequently Asked Questions, a segment on WorkLife where Molly answers questions from listeners about the topics they confront in real time. In this episode, Molly is joined by Ashley Murphy, a key member of Mollyâs team and one of the people that helped create Glue Club, a leadership development community that Molly and her team run focused on helping leaders feel more confident and less lonely at work. These questions are based on common questions from the community that Molly and Ashley thought would be relevant for the WorkLife audience as well â tips for working productively with a boss you donât always agree with, knowing when itâs time to seek out an executive coach, and struggling to pitch yourself to prospective employers if you donât fit into a traditional box.

But the people who are actually good at taking risks are the ones who practice small challenges every day.
