What looks like your boss being disorganized is almost certainly anxiety.

And while their anxiety does not need to be your anxiety, understanding where it comes from can change how you show up.

Victoria Farris writes about finding your own footing when the people above you have lost theirs: https://weareadamarie.com/blog/you-do-not-have-to-borrow-your-bosss-panic

A lot of career growth comes down to this:

✅️ Saying yes before you feel fully prepared.
✅️ Speaking up before it feels natural.
✅️ Trying something new without overthinking it.

That’s the work.

Two days. This September.

The 2nd Annual AdaMarie Career Navigation Summit is where early-career and rising STEM professionals come to make intentional decisions about their next career move — and where the organizations invested in their growth show up to meet them.

🗓️ September 24–25, 2026 · Virtual · Day 1 Free

Not every yes leads to growth. Some just lead to exhaustion.

Dr. Brooke Grindlinger joined AdaMarie to talk about the difference between a stretch opportunity that builds your career and one that asks you to carry more than is sustainable.

If you have ever said yes before the scope was clear, stayed too long in a role that stopped serving your growth, or wondered how ambitious people protect themselves without seeming uncommitted, this one is for you.

Networking is two people willing to show up, share, and listen to each other.

2026 AdaMarie Fellow June Sirichusinwong reflects on the networking moments that have stayed with her and why the most meaningful connections rarely come from the ones you planned.

This one is a reminder to stop optimizing your networking and start being present in it.
