from The Unstuck Career

Send us Fan MailThis week, we're confronting the classic mantra, “nothing changes until something changes,” and digging into why it’s so tempting to wait for someone—or something—else to fix our work frustrations. Have you found yourself wishing your boss, your company, or even the economy would shift so life at work feels better? I share stories from my own coaching experience, including a candid conversation with a friend and client who took the brave step of sitting down with her boss to voice her frustrations, reminding us just how hard it can be to take ownership for the change we seek.You'll learn why true freedom in your career starts with realizing that it’s not your job’s job to make you happy—fulfillment, impact, and happiness are your own responsibility. We'll discuss the discomfort of facing necessary conversations and changes, and explore the liberating impact of shifting your focus away from things you can’t control, toward the powerful actions you can take yourself.If you’re tired of waiting for someone else to make a move, this episode is for you. I’ll help you see how a single step in a new direction can unlock the doors that feel stuck in your work and life. Ready for your next step?
