271: Who You Are Always Wins ft Ashley Stahl

Are you tired of the conventional career advice that promises a one-size-fits-all path to success? Get ready to challenge the status quo, shatter limitations, and discover a world where trial, error, and embracing uncertainty lead to triumph. Ashley Stahl, a counterterrorism professional turned career coach, speaker, and author of You-Turn, joins us for an impactful conversation on navigating career switch-ups and embarking on creative endeavors with no roadmap. If you've ever questioned your direction, felt the urge to explore new avenues, or wondered if unconventional could be the key to exceptional, this episode is your ultimate compass. “Don't do what you love. Don't follow your passion. Do what you are. What I'm really saying is, what's your zone of genius?”- Ashley Stahl In this podcast, you’ll discover… Embracing trial and error is essential both in your career and creative pursuits. It's okay not to have all the answers upfront, and experimentation is a natural part of growth and success. Focus on what skills come naturally to you and contribute to your unique energy. Consider the alignment between your work and your core values. If the work violates your values, it's important to reassess and pivot. Be open to transition and adaptation, be willing to learn from both successes and failures, and remember that there are many paths and iterations to your growth and fulfillment. “Happiness is not for the faint of heart. It's for the person that knows how to say no. It's for the person that knows how to get messy. We are being way too perfect in our career. We have way too much shame around the process of learning.”- Ashley Stahl For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/271. ++++++++++++++++++++
