S9 Ep 8 In this episode, Felicia is joined by marketing executive and leadership strategist Breana Jones to break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in the workplace: power. Let’s be honest—corporate America wasn’t designed with Black women in mind. So how do we navigate it, win in it, and still protect our peace? It starts with understanding that power isn’t evil—it’s a tool. And knowing how to use it without burning out or getting fired? That’s the real flex.

S9 Ep7 In this episode, Felicia wraps up the 7 Rules of Power series with Rule #7 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Once You Gain Power, Whatever You Did to Get It Will Be Forgotten, Forgiven, or Both.

In this power-packed finale, Felicia breaks down what it takes to sustain success, defend your position, and show up with unshakable leadership and influence.

In this episode, Felicia breaks down Rule #6 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Use Your Power.

You’ve worked hard, built influence, and learned how to play the game… now it’s time to make power moves. Power isn’t something you hoard—it’s something you use. And if you don’t use it? You lose it.

S9: E5 In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia breaks down Rule #5 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Network Relentlessly. Let’s keep it real: networking often feels transactional, awkward, or like something “extroverts do.” But Felicia flips that narrative. Networking isn’t about schmoozing—it’s about building genuine, mutually beneficial relationships. If you’re only reaching out to people when you’re in need (like after a layoff), it’s time to shift your strategy. Your network is your net worth—and the people who know your name today could be the ones opening doors for you tomorrow.

S9: E4 In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia dives into Rule #4 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Build a Strong Personal Brand. If you’re working hard but still being overlooked, the issue might not be your skills—it’s how people perceive you. Your personal brand isn’t just a social media aesthetic; it’s what people say about you when you’re not in the room. If you don’t define your narrative, someone else will—and that’s not an option.

S9:E3 In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia breaks down Rule #3 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Appear Powerful If you’ve ever thought, “I should be judged by my work, not my presence,” it’s time for a reality check—perception drives influence. The way you walk into a room, how you speak, and how you carry yourself signals power before you even say a word.

S9: E2 In this episode of the Trill MBA Show, Felicia dives into Rule #2 from Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer’s book Seven Rules of Power: Break the Rules (but do it strategically). If you’ve been working twice as hard, following all the rules, and still feel stuck, it’s time to shake things up. The reality? Power doesn’t reward compliance, it rewards confidence. The people who rise in their careers don’t just follow the book; they strategically bend and break the rules to their advantage.
