13. How to Love Your Job or Leave It — Christa Davis

How to Love Your Job or Leave It — Christa Davis Have you ever felt stuck at your job?  Well Christa Davis’ motto is “Love it or Leave it”. In this episode on leadership and coaching we provide three questions to ask yourself: Do I feel unmotivated, when I normally don’t feel like that? Am I rationalizing my current state and saying, “I’m trying to make it work”? Do I feel stuck in a box of habitual thinking? We also review your rhythms and the importance of them for keeping you at the top of your game. Quotes: “You can be good at strategy… but if you don't do the inner work, and you're not able to actually connect with your team and mobilize them and lead them.  You're only going to go so far.” “I think the first thing for leaders is to do their own inner work. Because they can only take their teams in their organizations as far as they've taken themselves. “Leaders really need to be that example and lead with being vulnerable, making it a safe space to make mistakes.” “Especially for leaders, also sharing their own stories of failure, and being open about those and what they've learned from them. “But if people are scared to speak up, or they don't feel comfortable owning things, it's not going to go anywhere. So that's why when I say, creating a culture of it, and to create a learning culture, it comes from, I would say, both the leaders, but also the organizational systems and processes. “I think people like the concept of innovation, but sometimes they don't like the process of going through innovation.” Get a Hold of Christa www.christadaviscoaching.com https://www.facebook.com/christadaviscoaching/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christadavis6/ Resources Referenced Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Deep Work by Cal Newport
