Have you ever felt like you're the only one struggling with self-doubt at work? Maybe you’ve wondered why office politics seem so complicated or how some people seem to influence so effortlessly?

The secret is that every day at work, we're surrounded by psychological dynamics - internal and external. There's the voice in our head second-guessing our decisions, the subtle power plays in meetings, the unspoken expectations that shape our behavior and others. Yet most of us are dropped into our careers with zero insight into these invisible forces.

That changes today. Welcome to Psychology at Work. I’m your host Melody Wilding, licensed social worker, human behavior professor, and author of two books: Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work and Managing Up: How to Get What You Need From the People in Charge. With a background as an emotion researcher, therapist, and after over 13 years of coaching thousands of executives and leaders across the world, there’s nothing I love more than helping emotionally intelligent people like you use superpower to make work better for themselves and everyone around them.

Because here’s the thing, technical skills will only get you so far in your career. It's mastering your own psychology and understanding that of others that will truly make or break your success.

While your coding skills might land you a job, it's your ability to manage stress and stay focused under pressure that will help you meet tight deadlines and deliver high-quality work.

Your financial acumen might get you noticed, but it's your ability to navigate stakeholder relationships and office politics that will help you secure buy-in for your ideas.

Your strategic thinking might earn you a promotion, but it's your self-awareness and ability to regulate your emotions that will make you an effective leader people want to follow.

The title of this show is a playful nod to our double focus. First, we explore how psychology operates in professional settings. But second, in each episode you’re going to walk away with practical insights that you can put to work right away.

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate the workplace when you're sensitive, empathetic, and prone to overthinking. That's why I created this podcast that brings you the tools and insights I wish I'd had earlier in my career.

Get ready, because you’re going to learn how to master the ‘silent rules’ of human behavior so you can achieve career success without sacrificing inner peace.

    🎟️ NEW FREE TRAINING: RSVP for 5 Steps to Speak Like a Senior Leader happening July 16th at 3pm ET: https://melodywilding.com/training

    Ever walk out of a meeting wondering what your boss actually meant when they said "That's an interesting perspective" or "Let's circle back on this"? You're not imagining things – executives speak in code, and cracking it is essential for your career advancement. In this episode, Melody breaks down the diplomatic language that senior leaders use and reveals what they're really trying to tell you when they can't just say it directly.

    What You’ll Discover:

    • How to develop sophisticated communication radar without becoming paranoid about every executive interaction
    • The power mapping exercise that helps you identify who really influences decisions (beyond the org chart)
    • When to push forward with your ideas versus when to strategically step back and regroup
    • How to the difference between real urgency and manufactured panic when you’re told "we need to move fast on this"
    • The best way to respond when executives say "this needs more polish" without just making your slides look pretty and hoping for the best
