S4 E2: Should I Stay or Should I Go? What to Do When You Feel Stuck in Your Career, with Tori Lazar

Feeling stuck in your career? You’re not alone. Join Hebba and special guest Tori Lazar, a strategic storyteller and executive coach, as they discuss how to recognize career quagmires and turn stalemates into personal growth.  What are the top three warning signs of career unhappiness, and how can leaders be more personally aware of their own internal red flags? Tori shares insights on tapping into your inner child, overcoming fear, and pinpointing the source of unhappiness in your current career.  Tori and Hebba also discuss the fine art of not giving @#$! about what people think of you. How can you get over the fear of not being liked and still advocate for the employees who may view you as public enemy #1? They dive into the role of HR professionals in advocating for employees and explain how to maintain a positive work culture and persevere through the constant barrage of criticism that’s synonymous with the job.    00:02:37 - Tori Lazar: Strategic Storyteller and Executive Coach 00:03:13 - Optimizing Your Time 00:07:13 - Top 3 Signs of Being Stuck in Your Career 00:21:51 - Gen Z Challenges Workplace Norms 00:27:24 - Advocating for Every Employee  00:34:57 - Overcoming Fear in Unfulfilling Careers 00:41:23 - Harnessing Childhood Experiences to Build Confidence 00:43:17 - How Practice Builds Confidence in Overcoming Fear 00:47:23 - Why Great Leaders Need Great HR Departments 00:51:40 - Identifying Unhappiness in HR Careers   And if you love HR Therapy, sign up to I Hate it Here, the newsletter for jaded, overworked, and emotionally burnt-out HR/People Operations professionals needing a little inspiration. https://workweek.com/discover-newsletters/i-hate-it-here-newsletter/   And if you love the podcast, be sure to check out https://www.youtube.com/@ihateit-here for even more exclusive insider content!   Follow Tori:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tori-lazar/ Take the Course: https://course.girlboss.com/courses/spark-your-career-renaissance   Follow Hebba:  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ihateit-here/videos LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/hebba-youssef Twitter: https://twitter.com/hebbamyoussef
