We share our stories of our personal experiences of being too attached to our job titles, and what we had to do to create professional identities that are based less on our titles, more on our work itself. We argue that while our titles can offer access and signal achievement in our career, they can also limit our sense of creativity and imagination when it's time for a change. Practical ideas of how to work on the distinction between you and your job title included.

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

Is work supposed to make us happy? Or is work supposed to mean something else? We introduce the idea that we are in a relationship with the work we do, and how we believe that idea sets us up to derive greater meaning from work. Knowing how to create meaning at work comes from practice in really understanding ourselves, our needs and our values, so we introduce a few ideas to help listeners gain clarity on what matters to them in order to create a stronger relationship with work.

We share some early thoughts about how to navigate and take some action if you're feeling job insecurity during a period of rapid change. We offer a number of strategies and ideas of how to use the time you have to both reflect and take action. We talk about effective networking during difficult times, researching companies or leaders you admire during this time, and some thoughts on using social media (especially LinkedIn) to explore and contribute to what's happening at work right now. Also, we encourage you to remember that even if work is happening at home – we're still at work – by all means, wear a shirt when you're on a Zoom call.

We talk about the first reactions we're having in our professional and personal lives as we adjust to the realities of staying home in Spring 2020. We talk about the criticality of reaching out and connecting, even as circumstances having us staying at home, apart from one another. We talk about some of the actions we're taking – including honest, vulnerable conversations with friends, taking one action (even imperfect) to move things forward with things feel chaotic and ambiguous, and designing the self-care that you need.
