    You're scared of taking time off (I fear you have presenteeism)

    Buy Clock In: emilydurham.org/clockin You’re scared to take time off. Not because you’re “so busy.” Not because the timing is bad. Not because your job is uniquely demanding. You’re scared. In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason employees avoid taking sick days and vacation — even when they’re burned out, exhausted, or literally sick.

We’ll break down the psychology behind taking time off, the workplace culture that fuels burnout, and what it actually signals when you’re afraid to step away. Because not using your sick days or vacation isn’t loyalty. It’s fear. And it’s costing you more than you think. Got a career question you want answered on the show?

    Office Celebrity Bootcamp (The Difference Between Being Seen and Being Taken Seriously)

    PRE-ORDER CLOCK IN: https://emilydurham.org/clock-in Being liked at work is not the same as being respected — and confusing the two can quietly stall your career. In this episode, I break down the difference between being an office celebrity and a personality hire, why one leads to promotions, credibility, and career growth while the other often hits a ceiling, and how being “fun,” “easy,” or “great culture fit” at work can actually hurt your long-term professional reputation. We talk about workplace visibility vs value, how managers really decide who gets promoted, why personality hires are often overlooked for leadership roles, and what to do if you feel visible at work but not taken seriously. This episode is especially for high performers who feel stuck despite working hard, getting praise, or being well liked by their team. If you want to grow your career, earn respect at work, and stop being boxed into the personality hire role, this episode matters. Got a career question you want answered on the show?
