In this episode I talk about the difference between talking back and speaking up. I encourage you to not only speak up, but to also disagree with and challenge managers and bosses as a way to bring new ideas, differentiate yourself, and increase your value at work. I discuss beliefs about being agreeable and where they may come from, and leave you with encouraging tips on how to find your voice.

Have you ever wondered why you don't accomplish your goals? Sometimes even the most well-crafted S.M.A.R.T goal is not achieved. In this episode I talk about the importance of including 'you' into the design of your goal, and paying attention to the subtle communication that lets you know if you are setting a goal that makes sense for you or not.

About this Episode:

There is a lot of advice about setting goals, objectives, or benchmarks to move forward in life. There is much less talk about what to do when things don't go as planned, or when it takes longer than you initially thought to achieve your dream. The truth is, we spend a lot of time on the road to our dream, and many fall off before getting to there. The key lies in how you relate to the journey while you're on it. This episode provides tips on how to survive and thrive in the process of doing work that is an accurate reflection of who you are...a.k.a. authentic.
