Gallup surveys show that 5/10 people are now hybrid employees, with an average of 2.6 days per week in the office. But the caveat? People are really only happy with this setup if they're allowed to have a say in what that hybrid situation looks like. Sundie and Steve take a look at some other interesting remote and hybrid work statistics and weigh in on what challenges (and benefits!) come to the table with this new workforce structure.

Getting together with friends and talking about the same stuff every time (kids, weather, sports...) gets OLD! So how can you be more intentional about the way that you gather?

In this episode of the Career Sweetspot podcast, Steve and Sundie dive into the idea of trading in traditional goals for creating rhythms. Drawing from his own experience, Steve shares how breaking down overwhelming tasks into manageable chunks helped him achieve success without feeling weighed down. He emphasizes that adopting a rhythm-based approach can lead to consistent progress and ultimately surpassing initial goals. By focusing on rhythms instead of rigid goals, individuals can avoid frustration and failure, and maintain a sense of accomplishment. Steve's practical examples and personal anecdotes make the concept relatable and actionable. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by goal-setting or seeking a more sustainable approach to achieving success, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. It's a refreshing perspective that could help you find your career sweet spot and make consistent progress without the unnecessary pressure of traditional goal-setting. 

On today's mini episode, Sundie hones in on the spectrum of Warmth vs. Confidence -- how leaders sometimes struggle with the feeling of having to choose whether they are liked or whether they are respected by their team -- and how you can reflect on where you fall on that spectrum. Which one do want to learn into more, or are you happy with where you fall?

In the spirit of the ‘new year, new you’ mindset, Steve and Sundie are trying something a little different for the month of January.

They're doing a series of mini episodes - twice a week, short conversations on different topics that will (hopefully!) spark ideas of goals or intentions for you this year.

But today's mini is actually all about throwing the classic idea of 'goals and intentions' out the window (because they just seem too overwhelming!) and instead focusing on one main theme for the year.

So, what is your 2024 theme?
