Are you constantly saying "yes" when you want to say "no"? Do you find yourself overwhelmed, overlooked, and underappreciated, despite being the "nice one"? In this episode, we dig into the real problem with being too nice and what to do instead. You'll uncover how people-pleasing sabotages your leadership potential and why kindness without boundaries drains your energy, derails your goals, and keeps you stuck in the background.

Using the classic 80s film Revenge of the Nerds as a surprisingly perfect illustration, Dr. Jerry Cunningham shares psychological research, leadership strategies, and real-life insights to help you stop being a doormat and start leading with confidence.

If you're ready to stop being liked and start being respected—press play.
