After a while, that can feel downright disrespectful. *But you may have more power to influence your professional experience than you realize.* In this video, leadership communication strategist Kim Welcome explains why being valued for what you do is different from being valued for what you think, and how to begin communicating at the level of the responsibility you're already carrying.
