You know the call...it goes something like this, "Hey Max, I'm calling to give you the heads up that they're doing a reorg, and you'll now be reporting to Jocelyn." Immediately you think, 'I don't have the energy to impress yet another new boss. I just really got into a groove with my current boss!' Well, the good news is that there is a better way to approach your "new boss" situations. In this episode, Erin and Nicole discuss a fresh (and more authentic) way to tackle your infinity boss situation. Hint: the key is in the questions, not the answers. Erin and Nicole kick off another authentic catch-up discussing their favorite summer wine - Vinho Verde. With things slowly beginning to open up again, they also discuss their feelings about going back out into the world. They decide that it should be a "rager" of a summer (however you define "rager") and also declare it the year of no shoulds. Erin then announces that they're creating the first-ever National Authenticity Day, which will be held annually on August 16th. They move on to their WTFs of the week. Nicole refinances her house, which can be a stressful time, but after seeing the five digits when out in front of her she...well shall we ay she was extremely proud of herself and may have slightly lost control of her bodily functions.  Erin has a story about an old boss, who she had for only three weeks and she was convinced was firing her one day. This leads into a discussion on bosses, how to approach them, including how to mentally prepare yourself for organizational change at work. Erin coaches Nicole, and the listeners, that it's all about asking powerful questions and connecting.  If you like jammin' with us on the podcast, b sure to join us for more fun and inspiration!

"It's not the year of yes it's the year of no-shoulds." "Obviously, Authenticity Day will be me, behind the snack-shack at your place, making snow cones." "There's only one rule for National Authenticity Day; there are no rules." "Unfortunately, this revolving door of bosses is not uncommon." "Authenticity isn't about you. It's about creating connections and trust exponentially faster than going through the motions." "When people care about what you think, there's not much people love more than that." Don't come at it as if you're a risk, come at it like you're a reward." "Don't beat around the bush." "In an interview, it's not about answering questions, it's about HOW you answer them."
