Reframe to Create

You're clear beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It's time to move on from your job.

But how do you make sure that you don't jump out of the frying pan and into the fire as you make your way to your "next"?

It takes having the right mindset.

And this right mindset is four reframes I share in this episode so that you're set up to take the right practical steps to your next job.

Have you ever eaten something that had gone past its expiration date? Yerk! It was awful and you probably immediately spat it out of your mouth! Well, things can feel just as awful when you stay in a job or any environment that's gone past its expiration date for you. It'll get your stomach in knots and feeling all kinds of sick.

But why do we get into and stay in these past-due-date situations? Often it's because we don't know how to read the expiration date on a job or situation the way we can easily read it on the label of a bottle.

Sound familiar? Maybe you're in it right now?

In this episode I wanna help you get better at reading the signs and specifically 3 signs that show you when you're in a job environment that's no longer for you.

Have you ever tried so hard to win someone's approval that you lost yourself?

It's hard to admit it but like me, I'm sure you can think of at least one area in your life where you've done this.

How does it feel when you come to your senses and realize that you've wasted your time?

Big ouch!

It's not that there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to be approved of by others.

After all, we are social beings living social lives in a social world!

But things can go wrong when we're chasing approval from those who are unable or unwilling to see the true value of who we are and what we bring to the table.

The cost of chasing their approval is not just our sense of self but everything we have to offer.

It often means we are not focused on creating with our gifts and making our unique contribution to the world.

This is precisely what happened to P.T. Barnum in the musical The Greatest Showman and it was a tragedy!

But there's much we can learn from how he bounced back and got back to who he was and what he created.

In this episode, you'll learn 3 of these key lessons so that you can also get back to creating with your gifts and making the contribution that only you can make!

Maybe you've heard the following David Foster Wallace parable that goes like this:

There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, "What in the world is water?"

We can all identify with these fish because like them we are also swimming around in our own water.

That water is our narrative and it influences everything about who we are and what we do.

Do you know what narratives are running your life right now?

Are you ready to take responsibility for building a new one so you can create a better work and life future?

But his work and model don't just apply to these groups.

There's something very powerful here for you that's going to help you change the water you're swimming in!

By the end of this episode you'll learn:

• The difference between story and narrative and how they influence your life
• How when narratives change, worlds can change
• How to build a new strategic narrative to change your life and impact your world

About my guest: Guillaume is the author of Strategic Narrative: A Simple Method That Business Leaders Can Use to Make Everyone Understand Their Business, Get Behind it and Believe In It. His company, MetaHelm, guides CEOs, founders, and business owners to align teams and accelerate innovation adoption. A former big-firm strategy consultant, Guillaume has founded four ventures.

He is sought after by senior executives of companies like Alaska Airlines, the Gates Foundation, Generations For Peace, AIG, L'Oréal, Spencer Stuart, GAP, Google, Microsoft, and the US and French governments.
