#85: You’re Not That Special — And You’re Very Special ft. Gen Z Coach Sophie Hirst

from Awfully Quiet

Gen Z quietly clocked what the rest of us are just now realizing: Success doesn’t have to be loud, linear, or soul-draining. I’m joined by Sophie Hirst — former Google senior manager turned Gen Z coach and founder of Workbaby — for a conversation that unpacks how a new generation (and anyone quietly ambitious) is rewriting the rules of work, visibility, and self-worth.We talk behind-the-scenes life at Google, managing up without burning out, and how to build a career you actually want to live inside — one that’s energy-aware, values-led, and not built entirely on LinkedIn optics.This one’s for the quiet climbers.The soft disruptors.The ones who don’t always speak first — but who always see what’s really going on.🔗 Follow Sophie @sophworkbaby and check out BIZ, her Podcast that's rewriting the rules of work for a new generation.If this episode lands with you, share it with someone who needs it.And if you’re feeling generous, a 5-star rating or review helps way more than you know.
