Career Stewardship with Michael Melcher

18. Not Doing What Your Parents Want


Listen Later

What do you do if what you want doesn’t square with the dreams your parents have for you?  This is a common problem – and it’s even more intense when you are first-generation, the golden child, and the standard-bearer for an entire extended family or even community.  What happens when you exchange what others see as a sure thing for something that doesn’t check off as many boxes of “making it?”  Do you dare not to turn in that winning lottery ticket? In this episode, we talk with Lauren Moses, a coach who is the Director of Management Leadership for Tomorrow.  Lauren is an expert on this topic and also someone who has made this journey herself. We talk about how you manage the pressures to live up to the expectations of others who don’t actually have your life and how you make the shift into work that actually fits your own skills and passions.  An episode that is equal parts practical and poignant.  Not to be missed!
