Workable : Leave Toxicity Behind and Build a Career That Works for You

From a Fortune 100 HR Executive turned trusted workplace voice, a grounded, no-nonsense guide for anyone who’s tired of trying to make work “work” and ready to build a career they don’t have to recover from. At some point, work stopped working for you and you knew it before you could explain it. Maybe it started as exhaustion. Or constant second-guessing. Or the realization that no matter how hard you worked, something still felt off. So you told yourself it was normal. That this is just how work is. That you should be able to handle it. But what if the problem isn’t you? With more than two decades working in HR, Leigh Elena Henderson has had a front-row seat to how workplaces shape and quietly damage people’s lives. She’s coached leaders, supported employees at every level, and built a global following by saying what most people feel but won’t say out loud. In Workable, she introduces a clear, practical framework for moving out of survival mode and into a career that actually works for you: Vision helps you reconnect with who you are–your values, strengths, and what you actually want from your work–so that you can stop making decisions from burnout and start making them from clarity. Transition shows you how to move forward intentionally, whether that means leaving, shifting, or redefining your current role without creating more chaos in the process. Transformation is where the real shift happens–learning how to trust yourself again, protect your energy, and build a career that stays sustainable over time no matter what lies ahead. Through candid stories, honest insight, and approachable coaching, Leigh encourages you to move past unhealthy work environments and the toxic bosses that create them to redefine success on your own terms. Workable has everything you need to help you stop confusing endurance with success and leave what isn’t working for you: Drawn from Real-Life Experiences: Grounded in Leigh’s personal experience, as well as her work with clients, corpo
