On today's episode of The Career Clarity Show, we are covering something new. And while I hesitate to call it perhaps exciting, I think it's really important terrain for us to be talking about. We’re talking about workplace induced trauma.

I think every single one of us has either personally experienced or knows someone who has experienced a less than ideal workplace situation. Maybe there was harassment or a toxic workplace. And so often, these are the kinds of things that make us want to leave and make us consider career change.

Katie O’Malley and I are going to talk about the impact and the implication of being in a tricky workplace situation, both on an emotional level and a career level.

We are delighted for today’s topic on the Career Clarity Show - psychology - how it impacts your life, how it impacts your choices, and how to think about using it for good and not evil. Registered Psychologist Gaj Ravichandra is here to talk about how your brain impacts career and what's possible, what's invisible, subconscious, unconscious, and bringing all of it to light to think about where you truly want to go and how you can make that happen for yourself. 

So if you've been listening to the show and you've been considering a career change but haven't taken action and don't know why, this episode is for you.

On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are talking about one of the foundational principles to navigating career change and moving towards something that feels like it truly fits you and is aligned with who you are -  values. It's the question of “What do you hold dear?”. What do you prioritize when you're faced with a trade off and a decision where one choice honors some things that are important to you and the other choice honors different things that are important to you? How do you make the comparison? 

So often, we can feel like we're forced to make some decisions that we have to show up as our professional self versus our personal self. And that each one of them is a shade of who we are. Too often we can't bring our full selves to work. 

Our guest Linda Evans is here to dissect how to think about bringing more of your values into the way that you make decisions in your professional life as well as your personal life. We touch on feeling that kind of satisfaction and alignment that you're wanting moving forward. Linda Evans is a strengths based career coach, speaker and writer who specializes in personal branding.

Today's episode of the podcast is with a dear coaching friend of mine - Rebecca Fraser-Thill. Rebecca is a Pivot certified career coach and a senior contributor for Forbes, where she covers the creation of meaning and purpose in work. 

We are going to talk about something that I think comes up often in the coaching world but that isn't always talked about - accessibility in coaching. My guest and I can both tell you we have seen people have incredible, amazing transformational changes occur. However, coaching isn’t cheap. It is the kind of thing that is a big investment into yourself. And because of that, it can feel scary, overwhelming, and it can feel financially impossible. 

Rebecca and I are both very committed to increasing accessibility and increasing the opportunity for everybody to get that kind of one on one intensive support, and accountability and making it available to as many people as humanly possible.

Welcome back to Career Clarity Coach Kate Solis Silva! Kate and I are talking about something that is on everybody's minds and hearts right now, which is the great resignation. As people are being asked to, or invited to or even mandated to go back into the office for their work, each of us is having a big moment of reckoning. Is this what I want? Is this what's gonna be best for me and my family? Is this actually needed to do my best work? 

In this season, I think every single one of us is going through a period of some serious discernment. So today we're talking about the great resignation - where it's coming from, who's participating in it, and helping you to walk through and think through a guide for yourself. If you are staring at a career crossroads, wondering about what's coming next for you, given the evolving nature of what it means to return back to the office, this conversation is for you. Because we are going to be talking about things like well-being, empowerment, confidence, standing up for yourself, and identifying what your needs are, so you can make sure that they're getting met no matter what decision you make in the future.

This is a very special episode of the Career Clarity Show. Career Clarity Coaches Jenn Smith and Kelley Shields are taking over the podcast to discuss a topic that's coming up for a lot of people right now - What happens if your employer wants you back in the office full time, but you don't want that?

As more and more people have gotten vaccinated, the CDC has lifted the mask mandate (and then put it back) and offices are starting to open back up. So many of our clients crave the flexibility and option to work from home. It’s exciting to see that more employers are now open to it. 

Jenn and Kelley break down leading virtual teams, how to make it easier for your employer to say yes to remote work, and how to return to work if you do have to return to the office.

We are diving into a topic that longtime listeners know we are passionate about here - which is fulfilling careers. We’re digging into how to find one, what it looks like, making decisions for yourself to move closer towards one, and why they're so elusive in the first place. If you've read our book Career Clarity, you definitely know that this is an area that we care a lot about. 

This is an area where so many of us want a fulfilling career and yet feel woefully unequipped to find it. How do I know what I want? How do I know what's going to feel good? What if I have a dream for where I want to be yet when I actually get there, it doesn't feel the way that I wanted it to feel?

So if any of those are questions that have been coming up for you, waking you up in the morning and keeping you up at night, you are going to love this episode of the podcast. Dr. Tega Edwin, an award winning career development researcher, educator and speaker, is joining us to discuss.

On today's episode of the show, we are talking about something that we don’t talk about enough - getting paid what you are worth. Now, when it comes to thinking about career change, it can be really intimidating to think about what you should be making in your next job. Usually, for most career changers, you're moving into an area where you have a little bit less experience than you would have had if you just carried on through your same corporate ladder, marching up to the next promotion. 

When you're making a pivot, it can feel really difficult to know how to position what your experience is worth. For so many of us, there is a huge fear that can pop up that if you make a move into a new industry or a new job function then you’ll have to start back at the bottom of the ladder. If you've ever had any of those worries and fears, I am so excited for you to hear today's episode of the Career Clarity Show. We are talking to Claudia Miller, a career coach and negotiation expert, about how you can set yourself up for success in making a job transition.
