Boss It All the Way Up

Hello Boss! How are you feeling today? I hope your week was very productive and I hope you had a lot of insights about yourself and your boss while doing your homework! I’m sure there were a lot of tears as well, but don’t worry, that’s all part of the process. Believe me, I shed way too many tears before I discovered the boss within me. And this is where we’ll start from today! One of the biggest issues when dealing with our bosses is how much they mess with our emotions. That’s why the first thing we’ll be working on is gaining confidence.

Hello Boss!  Are you ready to start bossing it all the way up? I’m very excited to start sharing all the ideas, thoughts and lessons I’ve learned throughout my years dealing with tough bosses with you!

Hello Boss!  Welcome to my new blog!  My name is Melissa Naves, I am a professional dancer and a Social Media specialist. But most importantly, I am a boss! But guess what? So are you! If you don’t know that yet, I promise I will help you find that within you. I have worked for a lot of different people and in several different areas throughout my life.     Just to give you an idea: I have worked as a barista at Starbucks, as a Tutor, as a director as an event planner, as a dancer, as a store manager, as a production assistant, as a secretary, as a social media specialist, as an Uber driver, as a delivery person and the list goes on and on. And almost all of these jobs had one thing in common: a very annoying boss. I literally had to meditate every single day before I went to work to make sure I had the patience to survive the day. Despite of that, I would still come back home exhausted, stressed, annoyed, mad or sometimes even crying after...
