Inside Job

Today on the podcast, we discuss our top 3 things that you can do to have an end-of-year review that means something - whether someone else is or isn't involved.

Ready to jump-start your review of what you're proud of, what you wish you'd done differently, and where you're headed in the future?

Listen in and join the discussion about best practices for reflecting on what you've learned from this year on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

Inside Job is brought to you by Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson.

In today's conversation, we explore a listener question about how much stress is enough stress, how we distinguish between 'regular' stress and toxic stress, and how much we're responsible for our own experience of stress.

When we recognize that stress is not inherently problematic, we can take time to reflect on the nature of the stress we're feeling and decide how we want to navigate it both internally and externally.

This is a conversation about boundaries, self-care, self-trust, and asking for help when we need it.

Have you heard about quiet quitting?

Almost everyone has, so we're jumping into the conversation this week to explore what this term really means, what it's not, whether it's inevitable, and what other options we have.

Quiet quitting isn't just a phenomenon of fed-up, overworked professionals with scope-creep and unreasonable workloads, suffering under unfair working conditions, and burnout finally standing up for themselves.

Turns out, quiet quitting has a lot to do with a chance to explore clarity, appreciation, and communication.

This week on the podcast we explore what it means to get our shit together, why that experience is different for each one of us, and how reframing the concept can make a world of difference.

If we can pause and discern what's really happening, we may be able to address what's hurting or "feeling off".

Listen in this week as we explore and reflect on what it means to "have your shit together" and ways to take action towards shifting to measuring sticks that align with our values.

While it can feel like additional self-inflicted punishment during hard times, guilt can be clarifying, a reminder of our values, or where we've been inconsistent. What might guilt be protecting us from? We offer insights to help decipher the difference between guilt and discomfort and choose the next right step that's best for us and those we work with.

We open today's show by sharing what's exciting us right now including the Bad Sisters series, baseball playoffs, and new music from a host of bands including Blink 182, Marcus Mumford, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We even connect The Peppers back to The Good Place.

Today on the podcast we explore how to build a better relationship with work and how our inside work can give us the perspective, accountability, and permission to make that relationship even better.

We kick things off by discussing the various types of "metric tons" we can use as yardsticks for measuring our experience of work before moving into the core of our conversation: Our relationship with work. We also discuss whether leaving one situation to go to another situation is really the way to improve the way we relate to our work.

Use the questions we provide to assess the health of your relationship by understanding what you need from a healthy relationship with work, and use yourself as a barometer to measure whether you are able to be your fullest self in the relationship you currently have with work.

Are you missing the opportunities a great question can bring?

A good question not only unlocks potential in your team, fuels innovation, and builds relationships, but asking better questions can actually get us out of an unproductive loop.

What happens when we feel we're checking all the "good question" boxes but aren't getting where we want to go?

At the heart of our discussion is the purpose of a great question and how great questions help new things come to light, shine that light on the factors that could create (or are creating) discomfort, foster curiosity, and expand our awareness. We also share the dangers of basing a question on a set of assumptions and how that can limit us.

We'd love to hear from you.

After so many years of hearing it's okay not to be okay, we're talking about how it can be okay to be okay.

This idea can be challenging because it flies in the face of what we often hear about self-improvement or career growth as constant pursuits.

We also share insight from Matthew McConaughey's Oscar acceptance speech for Dallas Buyers Club and how the dark side of constantly chasing a better version of ourselves is that, if we're not careful, we could miss those seasons of life where we're truly living in flow.

Today we explore the experience of feeling jaded at work.

We open with a discussion of school supplies including Eric's Tottenham Hotspur pencil case and Nayla's current, jaded feeling toward selecting the just-right writing utensils. We move on to the main topic with a discussion of how feeling jaded illuminates things for us even as it gets in our way. We also explore ways we can change the pattern if we want to do so.
