Office Politics, Unpacked | with Kris Verlé
'Office politics' carries an unfair reputation. Most professionals treat it as something they should rise above rather than something they should be getting good at.
The irony is that those who understand it well have an almost unfair advantage over those who don't.
Closing that gap is what this podcast is about.
Each episode covers topics such as building influence, managing your visibility, positioning yourself, and communicating with authority.
You can expect practical advice aimed specifically at senior managers and directors who want to get better at navigating organisational dynamics on their own terms.
Host Kris Verlé spent fifteen years as a professional political advisor and lobbyist before becoming an executive coach more than a decade ago and founding Altitude Shift Coaching.
