Today Liz is talking about why people often feel stuck. Stuck in a job, stuck in a rut, simply not able to move ahead. Often fear is what motivates people to stay where they are and not take action. But we don’t often attribute fear to our motive of staying put. We think we are being rational and cautious. But moving on when you know it is time to do so can make all the difference in your career or life.

What We Cover:

• What does it mean to be stuck?
• Why do we stay stuck even when we realize we are unhappy?
• The easy to understand way to get unstuck when it’s time.

This week we are talking to Aviv Shahar. Aviv grew up on a kibbutz in Israel, where he cultivated and internalized his sense of can-do idealism by working in an avocado orchard. Told by a specialist at the age of 8 that he shouldn’t exert himself because of his heart condition, Aviv took up running and became a champion runner by age 13, an experience that shaped a spirit of defiance prepared to overcome impossible odds. He subsequently joined the Israeli Air Force, where his fighter pilot training taught him the importance of thorough planning, flawless execution and the debrief discipline. It was during these years that Aviv adopted his life motto for continual learning: an un-debriefed action is a wasted action.
