The Career Strategy Show

Welcome to today's podcast, this episode is a bit unique because it's a recording of one of my Strategy Sessions.

What are strategy sessions?  These are my specialty, I take someone's problem and we break down what's getting in their way. 

It's a pretty powerful session, some of the topics we cover:

• Getting "unstuck"
• Thinking out various ideas/opportunities
• Prioritization of opportunities
• Splitting attention
• Utilizing your skills for maximum impact
• Time auditing and optimization
• Self sabotage
• Identifying what skills are missing

"Don't follow your passion, bring passion to what you are doing"

If you have never had a strategy session this is a great example of what value you can get from spending time being guided and having someone asking the right questions.

The best part of strategy sessions is that you get CLARITY around what you want to work on and it gets you FOCUSED on what you need to do. The best part are the results, from this session alone Devin scored a sponsor for his Yerba Power Podcast.

If you are feeling unstuck or just want to learn more about getting your own strategy session use the link below to book a time to chat with me.

I look forward to your strategy session.

This is a question that all the women in our life are always asking, but to tell the truth most of us don't actually know what drives us.

What are our basic needs? 
It's not keeping us fed, it's not lot's of $ex, although those things are fantastic.

In this episode I discuss the three psychological needs of men:

• belonging, 
• confidence, 
• and freedom. 

It is critically important to recognize and fulfil these needs to live a happy and satisfied life.

A lack of confidence can lead to self-destructive behavior and how being part of a group can help build confidence. Lastly, the need for freedom and autonomy in men's lives and how a lack of it can lead to feeling trapped and resentful.

So what can you do to satisfy your needs?

• Actively seek out and join a group or community to fulfill the need for belonging.
• Reflect on areas of life where freedom and autonomy may be lacking and find ways to regain control.
• Identify and take pride in a skill or area of expertise to boost confidence and self-esteem.
• Continuously strive to balance the three psychological needs for a happier and more fulfilling life.

If you want to learn more or dive deeper into how your needs are being fulfilled, schedule a call with me HERE.

See you all next week

Burnout Quiz

burn·out

• physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress.
• "high levels of professionalism that may result in burnout"

Burnout affects all of us at some or multiple points of our lives.
Today I share my experience with burnout, the factors that led to it, the symptoms and the final straw, my cancer diagnosis.

I talk about how it sneaks up on us, what I felt when I was completely wiped, and all the symptoms and side effects that are a result of this ever prevalent condition.

If you or a loved one feel like you may be burnt-out I created a quick 5-min quiz to help you determine if you are.

"Retired - Enjoying life"
Why are so many of us waiting for retirement before we can allow ourselves to enjoy life? I think it's because we don't spend enough time on ourselves during the "working" years. 

We love to take on more and more responsibility, commit to too many things, and carry the entire burden on our shoulders.

The term "filling your cup" is used a lot in self help and personal development and you may even use the term yourself but have you actually thought about it at length.

After a fascinating conversation I had in my men's group this topic was bounced around at length and I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you about what it means to truly fill your cup and why it's important.

So go out today and create a little joy in your life.
