Listen Later

Picture this: You have a good engineering job. You make decent money. Your family is fine. So, why do you feel unsatisfied with your life and career? šŸ¤” The answerā€¦youā€™re not being intentional with either of them.


In this episode, we interview Jeff Perry, a career coach and the author of The Intentional Engineer book. Based on his own life experiences, heā€™s been working one-on-one with engineers and tech professionals to help them find and build a career that aligns (keyword there!) with their life visions.


Now, heā€™s put all his frameworks and step-by-step processes to do this into a book. With actionable exercises, the book helps you take a hard look at your life and finally find ā€œcareer-life fit,ā€ no matter what that looks like to you. šŸ‘·


Tune in to Learn:

  • The common themes among engineers who feel unsatisfied with their careers
  • 2 problems with the current view of "work-life balanceā€... and the right way to look at it
  • A real-life example of being an intentional engineer
  • Why you donā€™t need a new job with a higher salary to find ā€œcareer-life fitā€
  • How the book is structured to force you to act on it and find the life and work you want
  • The surprisingly simple, top-secret tool to being intentional (+ 2 reasons why it works)
  • What the ā€œzone of geniusā€ isā€¦and how to find yours
  • Why feedback is a gift and how to process the harsh ones ā€” plus why you should
