The Unwritten Rules of the Workplace *Navigating the things nobody tells you about professional life.* Getting a job is one thing. Understanding how to navigate the workplace is another. Every workplace has rules that aren't written in your contract or explained during onboarding. Yet, these unspoken expectations can influence how you're perceived, the relationships you build, and the opportunities you get. How do you navigate workplace politics without getting involved in drama? Is doing your job well enough to get you noticed? Should you always speak your mind at work? And how do you know when to be friendly, professional, or assertive? Join us for an open and interactive discussion about the unwritten rules of professional life. We'll explore questions such as: * Hard work vs visibility: Is being good at your job enough to progress? * Workplace politics: Can you really avoid office politics? * Professional relationships: Should you be friends with your colleagues? * Speaking up: When should you challenge decisions, and when should you stay quiet? * Boundaries: How do you say no without being seen as difficult? * Career progression: What matters beyond your qualifications and performance? ### What to expect This isn't a lecture or a traditional networking event. It's a relaxed, interactive group discussion where professionals share experiences, challenge perspectives, and learn from one another.
