5 Reasons No One Takes You Seriously at Work (Plus, Super Easy Fixes)
If you're not being taken seriously at work (or home) this could be why.

There are few things more frustrating that not being taken seriously, both in your professional and personal life. You speak up in a meeting at work with a great suggestion, and it’s immediately overshadowed by someone else’s idea. Or, you turn to your friend to vent about your boss, only to realize she’s half paying attention and half texting someon else at the same time.

So, what can you do when you feel like no one’s treating you with respect? Turn to Marie Forleo! As per usual, she has stellar ways to get out of this frustrating rut and get people to listen to you.
