Kanisha L. Adkins thought she was entering her dream job. All her work had finally paid off, and she had a chance to show the world her skills as an attorney.
However, there was a significant problem with her new workplace-a saboteur. A new coworker made it her goal in life to embarrass and impede Kanisha. This was a workplace Judas, and Kanisha had no idea what to do. She had never experienced such an intense betrayal before and certainly didn't expect it at the hands of her administrative assistant.
Kanisha recounts her experience to you not simply to tell her personal story but to show you how to spot a workplace Judas. In nine steps, she teaches you how to identify a Judas, understand the mind-set behind betrayal, protect your work, and care for yourself. She shows you when it is appropriate to simply do your job and when you need to bring up your concerns with a higher authority.
Kanisha, who is also an ordained minister, examines the spiritual and emotional causes of such a toxic mindset and shows you how to keep spiritual and emotional strength during difficult times.
