Ep #277: Why No One Listens to You at Work (It’s Not What You Think)

Ever wonder why you can’t seem to influence your boss, land that promotion, or why your brilliant ideas keep getting pushed aside?

Chances are, it’s not your skills—it might be about your energy.

Today, I’m shining a spotlight on energetic vampires—those sneaky, subtle energies we unknowingly project that others feed off, often sabotaging our best efforts.

Think about it:

✨ When you’re silently frustrated…
✨ When you’re secretly judging your colleagues…
✨ When you’re desperately trying to prove your worth…

People can feel it. And it directly impacts how they respond to you.

But here’s the great news:

Once you start managing your energy intentionally, everything shifts. Your accidental self-sabotage becomes deliberate, powerful influence.

In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’ll break down the three biggest energetic traps you’re probably falling into right now. Plus, I’ll give you simple, actionable strategies to instantly shift your energy at work and finally start having the influence you deserve.

Let’s dive in.
