Inside Job

88: External Validation and the Inside Job


Listen Later

"Am I working hard enough?"

"Does this make sense as a next professional step?"

"Should I be asking for more?"

At various times in our lives, we all pose questions like this about next steps, choices, or knowing where we stand.

Does the answer live on the outside, or on the inside, or somewhere in between?

We're navigating the dance between external and internal validation this week on the Inside Job podcast. We talk about what can be answered on the outside, what must be answered from the inside, and how to know where to look for the answers to some of the biggest questions in work and life.

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.
