49. How Can I Avoid the Likeability Trap at Work? With Alicia Menendez

In life, but especially at work, women face a frustrating paradox
that rewards likeability but disfavors intrepid, goal-oriented
behavior. Award-winning journalist Alicia Menendez tells Claire
how her own experiences led her to write the book The Likeability
Trap. Alicia tells Claire how she navigates likeability issues as
a journalist and anchor and how the issue is made more
complicated when you factor in race, motherhood and sexual
identity.
