Not ready for retirement, but clearly not new to the workforce, many unmillennials find themselves at a crossroads of their careers wondering “Is this all there is?” This podcast takes a deeper look into the idea of career burnout, what’s behind it and how to overcome it.

Beth Kennedy, author of Career Recharge (affiliate link) and today’s podcast guest, has more than 20 years of experience as an executive coach and resiliency-training expert. In this episode she details her Benatti Resiliency Model, which has helped thousands of people develop the resilience to adapt to changing career circumstances, remain productive and engaged, and find greater life and career satisfaction. In the show we discuss:

• The importance of focusing on well-being to recharge
• How self-awareness provides insight into our purpose
• Why developing your own “brand” is important and relies on understanding your strengths
• The importance of connection and cultivating relationships to fight burnout
• How innovation plays a crucial role in challenging yourself and bolstering resiliency

 

Throughout the interview, Beth expands on each of the aforementioned concepts with resources to support them, including:

• recommendations for her favorite meditation apps (Calm, Breathe, 10% Happier and Headspace)
• her recommendation for 360Reach as a tool to support personal branding
• a challenge to listeners to start a “Friday 5” practice each week, answering the questions
  • What are my wins this week?
  • What could I do differently?
  • What do I want to do next week?

I close out the show with a quick bit of feedback from podcast fan Catherine, who emailed me to agree that the Life Changing Chili recipe I mentioned in The Keto Episode is, in fact, life-changing! (Thanks Catherine!) Next up, I give a detailed account of my tips for success using the One Two Cosmetic’s Magnetic Eyelashes, as recommended on The Eyelashes Episode, on ReganJonesRDN Instagram and on the Cool Stuff page.
