Career Therapy

Mac Prichard is the founder and publisher of Mac’s List – a job board in the Pacific Northwest with a mission to make hiring more human – as well as the author of “Land Your Dream Job Anywhere” and the host of the weekly career advice podcast Find Your Dream Job. Today we talk about how to focus your job search goals, build a strong network, and utilize job boards effectively in order to make your next career change. 

Jeff Perry is the founder of More Than Engineering where he serves as a leadership and career coach for engineers and technical professionals, helping them make intentional career upgrades. Today, we discuss the question, “What do I want to be when I grow up?”, which we both hear from younger and older people alike. While exploring this topic, we touch on imposter syndrome, ideas around fake it till you make it, Career Clarity, ignoring the “shoulds” in life, and how to navigate the subjective disconnect that comes from an untethering of imagination and reality.

On this week's Career Therapy Podcast (e.105), we’re welcoming Tina DaSilva and Ali Bobb to the podcast. Together, they are the co-hosts of the 'Soulful Streaming Podcast' where they have eye-opening conversations with the wisest minds to help you build a deeper connection with your mind, body and soul. Today we flip negative thinking on its head and ask the question, “What is the best that could happen?” instead of the worst. And you’d be surprised at how big a difference a small mindset shift can make. If you’re curious about how to make more time in life for your job search or hobbies, interested in overcoming imposter syndrome, or struggling to find a balance between being and achieving, this episode is for you.

On this week's Career Therapy Podcast (e.104), we’re doing something a little different: Martin was recently a guest on Confession Radio, with David Alan of Dynamic Reverb, and they had such a great conversation that we asked if we could cross-share the podcast. David graciously agreed, and that is what we are bringing you today. In the conversation we listen to a caller’s concern about their job search application, not hearing back from recruiters, and what to do when you feel like your applications are getting lost in the job board black hole? David masterfully guides the conversation as we weave in and out of all sorts of job search topics, helping you better navigate your own search.

Today we talk about self-trust and why it is so hard to cultivate in our careers. We challenge the hustle culture “always be sprinting” mindset and ask, ‘When is it ok to jog?’ Lastly, we figure out how to separate yourself from your career identity in a way that creates a healthier work/life relationship. 

Dina Grishin is a life and career coach based in London, coaching worldwide. After navigating herself out of a Quarter Life Crisis which saw her changing jobs every year to find her calling, Dina now helps other stuck professionals get clarity on their dream job and how to get there.
