We need to talk about something nobody's saying out loud.
At Success Lab, Vanessa Hicks and I work with young professionals on career strategy and leadership development.
And here's what we're hearing from both sides of the table: there's a huge gap in business etiquette and executive presence that's holding talented people back from promotions, key projects, and leadership opportunities.
The good news? These are learnable skills. And we're making it easy.
Introducing: Friday Fixes - Your weekly dose of real workplace situations (submitted by readers like you) with expert solutions from the Success Lab team.
It's a judgment-free space for questions like:
-How do I gracefully exit a conversation with a senior executive?
-What should I wear for video meetings?
-How do I navigate difficult conversations with my manager?
Here's how to get involved:
-Submit your workplace dilemmas (anonymously if you prefer)
-Read along every Friday for practical, actionable advice
-Share with colleagues who might benefit
Drop a 🙋 in the comments if you have a workplace etiquette question you'd love us to tackle.

Let's close the gap together.
