Gov Geeks Assemble!

What motivates you? Besides money, job security, and necessary benefits- what keeps you at your job?

Beyond meeting bare essentials, our work can be a source of inspiration and satisfaction. Rather than something we ‘have’ to do, our jobs can be something we ‘want’ to do.

If your answer to staying in your job is fear-based, how could your life be better by being joy-based? It’s possible!

Here’s a quick peek to get us started:

- Notice when time flies by for you

- Recall projects that mattered most

- Follow your happiness to create success

Plus, we’ll answer your questions from the Gov Geekdom! Send in your questions today!

Getting the right job or finding your place in an organization is wonderful. But sometimes we all feel like there are barriers keeping us from that next level. Wouldn’t it be great to find a way to push through all of that?

It’s possible! While there are genuine limitations in the world, we do have the ability to control what’s in our control. If you’re interested in learning how to remove what’s holding your career back, this show is for you!

We spend a significant portion of our life in the workplace- shouldn’t we feel some happiness while we’re there?

We totally think so! Too often the concept of a tough work environment creeps into our lives. We may experience it or even become numb to it but we don’t have to hold onto it. It’s true that we can find happiness at work. Plus, don’t we deserve it anyway?

Chances are, you’ve dealt with someone that ruffled your feathers or was just down right rude. It’s a part of the human experience but it doesn’t have to be entirely bad!

Difficult people can be found everywhere. From co-workers and clients to family and friends, what we see depends on what we look for. With practice and mindfulness, we can either choose to see the issue or the opportunity.

Your network is your net worth. What have you done to build and nurture your professional network?

A fun question that can be wrought with challenges. From struggling with shyness and questioning our self-worth to finding the time and having a process, engaging with network building can be tough. But we’re here to say it doesn’t have to be… we got you!

Networking is more than sharing contact information and waiting for job offers. It’s connecting with projects, values, and people that share your passions. In this way, it’s a pathway to sustained happiness 🙂
