Welcome back to The Talent Brief.

Host Jeff Ganter wants to challenge something we’ve all been taught to chase: purpose.

Because lately, after conversations around layoffs, career pivots, and real pressure, I’m seeing a different pattern.

People aren’t stuck because they lack purpose. They’re stuck because they’re waiting.

Waiting for clarity. Waiting for certainty. Waiting for it to feel right before they move.

But clarity doesn’t come before action, it comes from it.

So today, we’re getting honest about the difference between the script you’ve been following… and the signals you’ve been ignoring.

And why your next step isn’t in a perfectly crafted plan, it’s in the decision you’ve been avoiding.

Let’s get into it.
