Navigating any workplace can be difficult, and that’s why getting advice from career professionals like the woman you’re about to meet can be a big boost!

She’s a career expert named Rachel and she posted a video on TikTok and answered the following question from a viewer: “How do you fix your reputation of being “too direct?””

Rachel asked viewers “Suffering from a reputation issue in the workplace? Well, here’s what you can do to turn over a new leaf.”

She continued, “Option 1 is just to be the new you.”

Rachel then said, “Some people won’t trust the new you, but after a few interactions with you and seeing some consistency from you in this new way, they’ll begin to realize that you’ve made a change.”

The TikTokker continued, “Option Number 2 is for those of you who have really tanked a reputation and and you really need to turn over a new leaf.”

She added, “This will require a little more vulnerability, but it’ll overcome bigger challenges and create trust more quickly. Tell them what you’re working on, why you’re taking it seriously, and invite them to support you.”
