I’d like to start today’s Career Summer School podcast lesson with a question – “How important is empathy in your career and workplace?” 

Knowing how to be empathetic can help you improve communication with others and create improved working relationships.

In a bonus Career Espresso podcast episode recorded for Career Summer School I look at empathy in the workplace as identified by Daniel Goleman, why it matters so much in the workplace, together with some tips to bring more empathy into your work and career.

Here is a link to the 2023 State of Workplace Empathy Report that I mentioned in this episode

You can listen to Episode 7 of Career Espresso which looks in more depth at the types of listening that you can add to your toolkit here

How often do you stop and ask yourself "What comes next in my career?"

• How you can use summer to focus on what you really want in your career
• Why women can end up taking on dead-end, non-promotable work tasks that place a burden on their career development 
• Embracing the power of no to free up your time 
• Why spending less time around 'energy vampires' could clear your career path

Summer is traditionally the time when we look forward to a well-deserved break from work. But figuring out how you can possibly avoid working twice as hard before you head off (not to mention feeling overwhelmed when you get back) seems to be a recurrent theme for many women that I speak to. 

In this week's episode of Career Espresso, I look at -  

• Why it can feel so hard to take a break in the first place   
• Why technology can make switching off so challenging 
• Strategies to try before, during, and after your holiday so you can relax, enjoy your break and not feel swamped on your return
• How filling your cup ensures that you won't be running on empty

In my work as a career coach, I've noticed that many of my clients know they need to develop in their careers but often struggle to begin taking action on their intentions. In short, they need to start doing, stop overthinking, and take imperfect action. 

In this week's episode of Career Espresso, I look at -  

• Why too much research on your career options can lead to a false sense of productivity 
• Why Newton's first law applies to people as well as objects!
• How to push past the mental barrier we put up when procrastinating 
• Working on shifting to a beginner mindset and away from perfection
• How to create an action plan to hold yourself accountable for your progress

Thank you for listening and see you next week!
