Hello and welcome back to the Career Clarity Show! Jenn Smith here with an episode all about communication, which in its most basic form is giving and receiving information. But I will tell you, as a former HR leader, that most situations that ever made it to my office were very complex. In my opinion, breakdowns in communication is one of the most complex and overlooked pieces of work.

This is why I'm so excited to have our guest, Eloise Eonnet. Over the last 10 years, she founded and runs Eloquence Coaching, which is a communication coaching service, enabling professional growth and personal empowerment through strategic storytelling and communication delivery skills.

Career Clarity Coach Jenn Smith here! We’re breaking down a difficult topic which is all about how to resign from your job with grace and gratitude. I've recently had conversations with a handful of job changers. Some of them wanted to rage quit and throw their hands up and leave it all behind. Others were held back from moving on because of feelings of guilt for leaving their team behind. So with that, I wanted to share more about rage quitting: What it is and why it's not the best option for leaving your job. Then we will walk through four tips to resign from your job with a solid plan and without burning bridges.

On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, our guest host and Career Clarity coach Kelley Shields is here to dig deep into an idea that has become so commonplace that you probably haven't stopped to think about what it really means for a while - work life balance. More specifically, we're gonna be exploring why that idea is actually a myth.

Now, just to be clear, no one here is saying that you shouldn't care about having time for your life outside of your work. Here at Career Clarity, we know that balance is so important. So much so that Lifestyle is one of our four pillars of Career Clarity that you can use to help you navigate your career decisions.

But is there actually such a thing as work life balance? What are the false assumptions underneath that idea? And how can you think about it in a more helpful way? Guest expert Kim Romain, a holistic business and life strategist, is here to share how to write your own story and step out of outdated norms that no longer fit.

How do you stay mindful and centered when you are navigating a career change process that is inherently emotional, scary, uncertain, and nerve racking through all the different steps? This is the topic we’re discussing today on the Career Clarity Show. So often when we talk about the process of making a change, I'll refer to certain activities and certain behaviors that are generally going to set you up for success. That said - the smartest among us can get derailed or pulled off track in executing on the best practices, when emotionality and other factors come into play.

That is why I am so excited for today's guest because we are going to be talking all about how to recenter, reground yourself when you get pulled off track. Wade Brill is a mindfulness coach, podcaster, and speaker who helps the busy professionals experiencing stress and overwhelm be more present productive and energized.

Welcome back to the Career Clarity Show! We're going to talk about a topic that is top of mind for anybody who is navigating a career change - the job search. There's such a meaningful difference between the part of your journey where you're getting clear on what it is that you'd like to do, such as using the four pillars of Career Clarity methodology to come up with the ideas that feel most aligned with your values and your needs and your preferences in this season of life. And then actually being able to step into jobs like that.

If you have been wondering or worrying about how you're going to pull off an effective job search as a career changer, this episode is definitely for you. Even if you're still in the clarity seeking part, trying to figure out exactly what it is that you want to pivot into and you're not quite yet at the job search stage, go ahead and give today's episode a listen because there are going to be plenty of high value tactical nuggets for you to store away for when you're ready to start executing on your own.

My guest to speak about all things job search and career change is Sarah Baker Andrus. Sarah is the founder and CEO of our careers, a career coaching business. She's worked on all sides of the hiring equation as a recruiter, a hiring manager and a career counselor serving in the corporate world nonprofits and academia.

On our first new episode of the Career Clarity Show for 2022, we are talking about intentionality in your career and your choices. This can be a tricky topic for folks who are in the midst of navigating uncertainty, change, wonders and worries. If you're listening to this podcast as someone who's contemplating a career change, you might be thinking to yourself that the only thing you are certain and intentional about is leaving and making a move.

I am delighted to bring on a dear friend of mine, recruiter and coach Angie Lindsey. Angie has dedicated the last two decades of her career to helping companies build great teams through exceptional recruitment strategies, as well as helping individuals achieve their career goals. Angie and I are going to explore the concept of intentionality. What is it? What does it mean? How can it show up in your life when you are uncertain? How does it create more certainty? And how can you use it as a guiding principle to think about what might be next for you in a way that feels aligned with your values and your needs and your life?

Today on the Career Clarity Show, we are discussing a topic that so many of us can identify and resonate with - burnout. Many times, burnout almost becomes synonymous with the experience of doing work. It is simply what work is. We begin to think that work isn't supposed to be fun, that it's supposed to be hard work with a furrowed brow or you just put your shoulder down and plow through.

But for so many Career Clarity seekers out there, this is a kind of a reality for work that we're unwilling to accept as the forever truth. Feeling burnout does not lead to fulfillment, it does not lead to sustainability. So if you are feeling like you might be sliding into a period of burnout, or maybe you are definitely in the thick of burnout. You’re likely wondering “How do I get out of this? How do I recover? What do I do? How do I possibly summon up any more energy? Because I feel like I'm so exhausted and drained already.” This episode of the podcast is going to be a fabulous resource for you.

Kim Irving is a burnout expert joining us to share all things about sustainable success. She is an executive success coach helping high achieving women permanently end overwhelm and burnout without sacrificing their success so they can create their most intentional, meaningful life, personally and professionally. And be sure to look back with no regrets.

Welcome back to Career Clarity Coach Jenn Smith! Jenn and I are talking about something that we don't often talk about on the Career Clarity Show - self employment. So often, we are thinking about how to help people make a move from one corporate opportunity to another one, how to go from one day job to another day job.

But there is another way to create a career for yourself. It's one that I devoted a measly single chapter to in the Career Clarity Show book, but is a whole different future and life. And that is playing with the world of freelance and entrepreneurship. Jenn and I will be diving into questions like how to gain traction, the reality of being an entrepreneur, and more.

A common topic that so many people have when they're going through a career transition is around “How do I tell my story?” For so many people who are wanting to do something new and something different, they have been thinking, “I don't know what I want to do, but it's not this.” We can often feel trapped by our past experiences, and specifically our past professional work experiences. That can make it feel difficult to tell the story of who we are beyond the job titles we've most recently had.

Today’s guest expert is here to share all things elevator pitch is Rachel Garrett, an ICF certified career coach who believes that people have the power to take command of their careers and their lives with the choices they make. Rachel and I are talking all about elevator pitches, personal stories, professional branding, and how to feel really good in sharing who you are and what you're all about.

One topic that we have not talked about often, maybe ever, on the Career Clarity Show is navigating, trying to get into or get out of the government sector of jobs. Now, this is an area that is near and dear to my heart, because I spent the first part of my career and launched this business back when I was living and working in the Washington DC area. And when you are living in that part of the country in the United States you are going to meet lots of people who are federal employees. Then again when I moved out to Colorado, I found that I was still meeting lots of folks who are working in local and state government in different capacities, and some who are wanting out. And other people who are really wanting to feel like they were having a deeper impact in their careers, but who are currently in the private sector, who were looking for ways in.

Navigating your way into or out of government as an employment source is tricky. It does not look like any of the things that you have learned if you have been exclusively job searching in the private sector. Or if you have been in government for your entire career, making the pivot back to civilian life is going to look really different in terms of how you talk about yourself, how you position yourself and what activities you do.

I am so excited to have Elyse Levine, host of the Career Switch Podcast, to help me dig into all of this information. A serial career switcher herself, Elyse has worked at storied institutions, including the FBI and Disney in roles spanning social media strategy, project management, human resources, board governance and professional speech writing.

On this episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are taking a a different direction than what you might hear when you listen to traditional career advice. So often, the people who rise to fame in the coaching world will be people who are peddling advice like “Just push through. No matter what, you can do it”. And while there are probably nuggets of truth in those pieces of advice, it can perpetuate oppressive and micro aggressive advice when so often in our situations in our lives, what we really need is for someone to truly see our circumstances and our situation.

This is especially true if you belong to an underrepresented group that's been historically excluded. Being aware of systems of oppression that affect you may not be as visible to folks who don't belong to the same identities in the same circumstances that you do. Chyrsta Berry, speaker and authors, is here to share some refreshing career advice. We are going to talk about how to believe in yourself. Not in spite of your circumstances, but considering your circumstances and who you are, and how that creates a unique situation that you can still thrive from.

On this episode of the podcast, we are talking about getting clarity, right? No surprise on the Career Clarity Show, but we're specifically going to be talking about finding your way to clarity in some of the most important decision making moments when it comes to navigating career conundrums. Specifically, the million dollar question: Should I stay or should I go?

Guest expert Becca Ribbing helps me break down when it makes sense to hang on and make the best of what you got and make the job you have into the one you want. And then the factors that might push you towards leaving and finding something new.

Leadership and career advancement for women - a topic that does not get enough attention. These are topics where there are so many resources out there in the universe. But they all come from what I lovingly call the pale, stale male perspective. While it can be billed as tried and true to feel relevant, helpful, or equity and justice centric, so many miss the mark.

So the conversation we are having on the Career Clarity Show is about what's changed, what's different, and how to think about leadership and career progression and development through the lens of the uniqueness of not necessarily falling into the pale, stale male category. Our expert guest is Cynthia Pong, award winning career strategist, speaker and author of Don't Stay In Your Lane.

Welcome back to the Career Clarity Show! We are talking about a topic that in the 100 plus episodes of the show we have never covered before: Parental Leave.

Because when we talk about career clarity and finding a path that feels like it truly fits you, one of the biggest pieces of that is the life that you want to have. It's not just about the job you're doing, or the responsibilities that you have on your job description. It's about how your work enables you to live the life that you want to live. And for many of us that life includes a family.

So I am so excited for us to talk about the topic of parenthood, parental leave, and making work work for you. Dr. Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell, authors of The Parental Leave Playbook, are here to share their expertise.

Today on the Career Clarity Show, we're talking about one of the biggest factors that can go into dissatisfaction with your job and with your workplace - organizational culture. If you have worked in any sort of work environment, you know what a difference the energy of the organization makes, the values of the organization makes. And you know what an incredible difference there is between a healthy happy culture where you feel like you can thrive and do great work, and maybe not so healthy and happy culture where you don't feel like you have psychological safety or can bring your best stuff to the office or to the workplace.

Authors Chris Edmonds and Mark Babbitt are here to talk about what the elements are that go into culture, why culture matters, how to be intentional, how to think about it, and perhaps even how to screen it from afar. Their book Good Comes First is available now and shares similar insight into maring career discernment decisions and finding a great place to land and build a career.

On today's episode of The Career Clarity Show, we are covering something new. And while I hesitate to call it perhaps exciting, I think it's really important terrain for us to be talking about. We’re talking about workplace induced trauma.

I think every single one of us has either personally experienced or knows someone who has experienced a less than ideal workplace situation. Maybe there was harassment or a toxic workplace. And so often, these are the kinds of things that make us want to leave and make us consider career change.

Katie O’Malley and I are going to talk about the impact and the implication of being in a tricky workplace situation, both on an emotional level and a career level.

On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are talking about one of the foundational principles to navigating career change and moving towards something that feels like it truly fits you and is aligned with who you are - values. It's the question of “What do you hold dear?”. What do you prioritize when you're faced with a trade off and a decision where one choice honors some things that are important to you and the other choice honors different things that are important to you? How do you make the comparison?

So often, we can feel like we're forced to make some decisions that we have to show up as our professional self versus our personal self. And that each one of them is a shade of who we are. Too often we can't bring our full selves to work.

Our guest Linda Evans is here to dissect how to think about bringing more of your values into the way that you make decisions in your professional life as well as your personal life. We touch on feeling that kind of satisfaction and alignment that you're wanting moving forward. Linda Evans is a strengths based career coach, speaker and writer who specializes in personal branding.

Today's episode of the podcast is with a dear coaching friend of mine - Rebecca Fraser-Thill. Rebecca is a Pivot certified career coach and a senior contributor for Forbes, where she covers the creation of meaning and purpose in work.

We are going to talk about something that I think comes up often in the coaching world but that isn't always talked about - accessibility in coaching. My guest and I can both tell you we have seen people have incredible, amazing transformational changes occur. However, coaching isn’t cheap. It is the kind of thing that is a big investment into yourself. And because of that, it can feel scary, overwhelming, and it can feel financially impossible.

Rebecca and I are both very committed to increasing accessibility and increasing the opportunity for everybody to get that kind of one on one intensive support, and accountability and making it available to as many people as humanly possible.

Welcome back to Career Clarity Coach Kate Solis Silva! Kate and I are talking about something that is on everybody's minds and hearts right now, which is the great resignation. As people are being asked to, or invited to or even mandated to go back into the office for their work, each of us is having a big moment of reckoning. Is this what I want? Is this what's gonna be best for me and my family? Is this actually needed to do my best work?

In this season, I think every single one of us is going through a period of some serious discernment. So today we're talking about the great resignation - where it's coming from, who's participating in it, and helping you to walk through and think through a guide for yourself. If you are staring at a career crossroads, wondering about what's coming next for you, given the evolving nature of what it means to return back to the office, this conversation is for you. Because we are going to be talking about things like well-being, empowerment, confidence, standing up for yourself, and identifying what your needs are, so you can make sure that they're getting met no matter what decision you make in the future.

This is a very special episode of the Career Clarity Show. Career Clarity Coaches Jenn Smith and Kelley Shields are taking over the podcast to discuss a topic that's coming up for a lot of people right now - What happens if your employer wants you back in the office full time, but you don't want that?

As more and more people have gotten vaccinated, the CDC has lifted the mask mandate (and then put it back) and offices are starting to open back up. So many of our clients crave the flexibility and option to work from home. It’s exciting to see that more employers are now open to it.

Jenn and Kelley break down leading virtual teams, how to make it easier for your employer to say yes to remote work, and how to return to work if you do have to return to the office.

We are diving into a topic that longtime listeners know we are passionate about here - which is fulfilling careers. We’re digging into how to find one, what it looks like, making decisions for yourself to move closer towards one, and why they're so elusive in the first place. If you've read our book Career Clarity, you definitely know that this is an area that we care a lot about.

This is an area where so many of us want a fulfilling career and yet feel woefully unequipped to find it. How do I know what I want? How do I know what's going to feel good? What if I have a dream for where I want to be yet when I actually get there, it doesn't feel the way that I wanted it to feel?

So if any of those are questions that have been coming up for you, waking you up in the morning and keeping you up at night, you are going to love this episode of the podcast. Dr. Tega Edwin, an award winning career development researcher, educator and speaker, is joining us to discuss.

On today's episode of the show, we are talking about something that we don’t talk about enough - getting paid what you are worth. Now, when it comes to thinking about career change, it can be really intimidating to think about what you should be making in your next job. Usually, for most career changers, you're moving into an area where you have a little bit less experience than you would have had if you just carried on through your same corporate ladder, marching up to the next promotion.

When you're making a pivot, it can feel really difficult to know how to position what your experience is worth. For so many of us, there is a huge fear that can pop up that if you make a move into a new industry or a new job function then you’ll have to start back at the bottom of the ladder. If you've ever had any of those worries and fears, I am so excited for you to hear today's episode of the Career Clarity Show. We are talking to Claudia Miller, a career coach and negotiation expert, about how you can set yourself up for success in making a job transition.

Back with us for the latest episode of the Career Clarity show is the delightful Career Clarity certified coach Kelley shields. The reason why I asked Kelley back on the podcast is because we received a topic request from a listener and past client. We’re talking about how to take a break or sabbatical and give yourself the time and the space to do a proper reset.

I thought this is a conversation worth having because there are so many ways to do it. There's so many people who have done it successfully on their own terms. I often hear from folks that are so burned out and would love to travel or take a sabbatical.

We are diving into what a work break is, how you can take one in a way that is doable, and finding new and different ways to navigate time travel and time off in our careers.

For this episode of the podcast, I want to go in a little bit of a different direction than you may have heard on some of our other episodes. One of the things that is so incredible about so many of the people who come on the Career Clarity Show is that they've always had this ability to navigate career transitions with authority and confidence. I have been realizing more and more that this is not the way that career change goes for all of us.

In fact, there are more times than not when it comes to making a transition, something happens in your life that turns things upside down. So many people don't get to have that beautiful heroic narrative of standing on the mountaintop all by yourself having done it in isolation. We saw evidence of this with how the pandemic affected entire industries, markets, and countries.

So on today’s podcast Kim “Kid” Curry is here to share his story about overcoming things outside of his control. He’ll share ways that each of us can play the hand that we're dealt and find a path forward, even when it's not necessarily on the terms that we would have liked.

On this episode of the Career Clarity Show, we are talking all about how to tell your professional story in a powerful way. These things might strike fear into your heart, not because you don't think you can do them but because it feels like there's a lot of pressure to tell a really persuasive personal narrative, especially when you're trying to stand out from hundreds or even thousands of other people who are applying for the same kinds of roles that you are.

We're bringing in an expert on how to tell a compelling, persuasive personal story as a candidate to make sure that you stand out. If thinking about your LinkedIn or cover letter gives you the heebie jeebies and you want somebody who can guide you through that with competence, this episode is for you. We’re joined by guest expert Rosie McCarthy. Rosie shares how powerful answers to who you are can cascade out into all your professional documents and help you stand out from the crowd in a big, big way.

One topic that is oftentimes neglected when we're thinking about making a career change is mindset. One of the reasons why mindset can feel tricky to talk about is because so often when we're going through a season of transition and change, what we want are the tactics: What do I need to do? What are the next steps? What's going to get me results?

While the tactics are incredibly important, there is an unspoken piece to the tactics that can dramatically affect their success rate for you. That's the attitude mindset and belief layer that sits on top. You can do the exact same tactics as every other job seeker, but if you aren't feeling good about yourself or believe in what you're doing, you're not bringing positive energy to it.

If you find yourself in a position where you are trying to navigate making a change, and it just doesn't feel like you're getting the traction and results that you're looking for, you are definitely going to want to listen to today's episode. Chelle Johnson joins us to share the power of being in the right state of mind in making your tactics as effective as they possibly can be for you.

We are talking about in this wild world of career change and career discernment, how to make sure that you land within an organization that honors your values, hopefully even aligns with some if not all of your values, and feels good to be in. And If you have ever been on a job search, whether as a part of a career change or not, you know that it can be difficult to land a job within an organization that honors your values and feels good to be in. It can feel really hard to be external to an organization and try to secretly figure out what it's like to be there. You’re likely asking questions like these: What are the individuals like? What is the company culture like? What does management feel like?

There's so many considerations that go into finding a great place to work where you feel like you fit. On today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, I am delighted to bring on expert, Mark Dyson, in all things job search and career where we will be diving deeply into this question of how to find the kind of organization that truly fits who you are, respect to your values, respects and honors your identity and creates a space for you to thrive. So if you have ever wanted to find a really, really good, great place to fit, but haven't been sure about what the steps are or the right questions to ask along the way, you should definitely keep listening to this episode.

To change things up, we’re talking tactical and practical tips to make your career change happen.

Today on the Career Clarity Show, I want you to dive into something that I think every single one of us, who considers career change ends up going through in our thought process. It's the question of, is it me? Or is it the job?

You're getting a solo episode with me digging into that question and some of the nuance that lies beneath it. It's natural to start wondering what's wrong? What happened? What went off the rails? And how do I fix this and avoid it in the future? That brings up this question almost like clockwork - Is it me? Or is it them? Is it me? Or is it the work? These are important questions to get clarity on because if you don't know what the causes are, it's gonna be really difficult to avoid them.

So much of what we share on the show is about people sharing their own personal stories of career transformation but one of the things that often happens when we talk about these personal narratives is that it can be easy when you're looking backwards to gloss over some of the messy middle.

That includes some of the questions that prompted you to want to make a change in the first place.

For today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, we're gonna have a fabulous conversation about some of the factors that can allow for you to feel certainty that it is time to pull the emergency brake and start to make a pivot. One of the biggest factors that goes into this is the concept of work stress. I am delighted to invite back her fourth episode here, our Career Clarity Show certified coach Kelley Shields to share some wisdom around the impact of work stress.

Today on the Career Clarity Show, we are talking to Kathy Oneta who specializes in the concept of sustainable ambition. One of the biggest things that we talk about when it comes to career clarity is that when we have ambition that drives us and creates a sense of a hustle, it doesn't always enable us to feel the way that we want to feel - in our personal lives as well as in our professional lives.

We are going to be talking about how to define success on your own terms. If sustainable and ambition are two words that you've never really put together in your life before but you are intrigued as to how, this episode is absolutely going to be for you.

Today on the Career Clarity Show, we are talking about how the most unique of circumstances and upside down opportunities can reveal the things that your heart is wanting most for your life. For so many of us, when we're thinking about making a career change, some of the big questions that pop up are really contingent on a secret hope and belief that things are going to turn out perfectly. We hope that it’s all going to unfold exactly as we had hoped in the sort of beautiful storybook, easy peasy start to finish way.

That's not how most stories go. Most people when they are on an expedition of self discovery and exploration will have twists and turns. This is one of the reasons why we use a mountain climbing metaphor in the Career Clarity book to describe a career exploration journey. And it's that spirit of being willing to embrace the changes, to lean into taking chances, and exploring new opportunities knowing that you're going to get incredibly helpful data back. This is what makes today's guest on the Career Clarity Show so exciting and such a fun and cool story to share. Ryan Campbell, an international Book Awards finalist, is here to share his story.

This kind of thing is not one where you can just snap your fingers, quit your job, and then immediately have a perfectly profitable business blossom in front of you.

One of the things that is so important when you are thinking through your career trajectory is your branding, your narrative, and the storytelling about who you are and why you're moving in a new direction. Specifically, if you've come up with an idea that is not closely aligned with what you used to be doing, it can be challenging to step out of that old box and step into a brand new identity.

We're going to dig into how to create thought leadership, how to step into the spotlight and be known for something that may feel a little bit different than what you've been doing before. Eva Jannotta is here to help bold women leaders defy the status quo, amplify our influence and expand our wealth and power.

When we think about what careers should be, what we are told they're supposed to look like when we are kids growing up, we’re told that careers are supposed to be linear. They're supposed to be stable, one defined thing and you're going to do that for the next 40 years of your life. And so many of the people who find the Career Clarity Show, just don't buy that.

But the problem is that while intellectually, and in a heart level, you don't buy that you have to be in one job for the rest of your days, It can be really hard to find the role models and examples of people creating career paths that are more risky, or more creative, but are absolutely more meaningful and more fulfilling more growth oriented. On today's episode of the podcast, I am really excited to get to share with you the story of Yuri Cataldo who is distinctly doing this career thing on their own terms and has lots of cool, exciting stories to share.

One of my favorite things to do on the Career Clarity Show is bring on people who can help to stretch your sense of what's possible because so often we can find ourselves in a mental and emotional rut when thinking about making a change. This is especially true if you are in the kind of career that costs a lot to get into, financially or emotionally. It can be terrifying to think about what else might be next out there.

Today's conversation is all about how to create a new career path after getting out of a career that feels like an entanglement. We’re joined by Jen Ruiz, a lawyer turned full time travel blogger and author. Jen’s story is perfect for anyone who is looking to navigate interesting and weird career challenges to create a path that feels like it's something that's on your own terms.

Today on the Career Clarity Show podcast, we are talking about telling and owning your story. This is a topic that applies to anybody and everybody listening, no matter what kind of a phase you're in life. I love getting to share this topic and this idea with you because our words have power and our words create worlds.

If our words and how we communicate about who we are have such power to create an image to create an impression, we should be careful and strategic and intentional about what we're trying to create to make sure that it matches up with our inner authenticity and who we know ourselves to be. We’re joined by Kat Short, founder of Tell Your Damn Story, as she shares how she has helped hundreds of individuals and businesses harness the power of storytelling to make their ideas fly.

For today's episode of the Career Clarity Show, you are getting a solo conversation with me. We're talking about connecting and relationship building in this upside down pandemic time. Because one of the things that we have always known is so critical to making a career change and being effective in your job search is having relationships.

For those of you who are longtime listeners, you've probably heard me say this a million times and you're sick of hearing it. But it is still true that every year when the Bureau of Labor Statistics does their research on how people successfully land jobs, they talk about that 70% of people who successfully get a job, got it because of a relationship and a connection and an end.

I’m breaking down my top six tips on how to be building relationships, even in the time of COVID.

Those influences can be anything from social norms and expectations, family norms and expectations, to things like your gender identity, your ethnicity, your race - all kinds of different pieces that can really shape how people have expectations of you and how you have expectations of yourself.

This can be really illuminating for you no matter where your station in life, identity traits, or experiences you've had so far. We are joined by Nii Ato Bentsi-Enchill.

Today we are digging into a topic that is by far not the sexiest topic, but probably one of the most useful and one of the most informative topics when it comes to thinking about how to approach your career change in a way that it will actually happen. We’re talking about shame.

Our guest Career Clarity Coach Kelley Shields and I are going to be peeling back the identity worth and expectation factors that all come into thinking about what's next for you.

There can be so much excitement with the beginning of a new year. And after the first of the month, after the first of the year, time passes, and life tries to pop up and get in our way and brings back old habits, old patterns, old commitments. Keeping our resolutions can be a really challenging thing.

But if you're here and you're listening to the Career Clarity Show, you're a striver. You want more, you want bigger, you want different. Maybe for you that means you want smaller, more intimate and quiet. Either way, you want to change.

So today we are talking with Emilie Aries about what some of the obstacles can be to making your change happen, and how we can get the obstacles out of the way to make your goals, your resolutions and your dreams feel more achievable and more sustainable.

Today's conversation might be a really good eye opener for you about the types of things that different people struggle with in the workplace. We are discussing owning your voice, claiming your voice, understanding how who you are and the experiences that you've had shape how you show up in your work, and in your life. This is very intertwined with thinking about what kind of career is going to feel fabulous for you.

This is for you if you are trying to hide from your past, hide from your values and beliefs or if you're in a place that is making you play small, where you feel like you can't bring your full self to work.

Today we are talking about one of the career paths that is often incredibly coveted, incredibly interesting, and seems incredibly elusive - a writer. As a career change coach, I have heard over and over again the idea that if you want to do something that you love, that you feel passionate and excited about that feels like it gives you an outlet for your creativity, you can't make money doing it. It comes up in all kinds of different careers. But I hear it come up when people talk about their aspirations as a writer the most.

I'm so excited to bring today's guest on to talk to you all about why that isn't exactly true and different pathways that you can be using to find a compelling, interesting, meaningful path forward, getting to use some of the skills and the gifts that you love the most.

Today's episode is for you if you are interested in cultivating a little seed of hope and optimism and positivity when it comes to figuring out how to make some of the things that light you up, turn into lucrative and profitable career paths for you. Specifically if you've ever had ambitions around turning your writing from being a hobby or a passion project into something that can earn you a living.

We are joined by Nicki Krawczyk, a copywriter with 15+ years of experience, writing for multi-billion-dollar companies, solopreneurs, and every size business in between. She also coaches people to become professional copywriters and build thriving careers of their own via her website, www.FilthyRichWriter.com, and her Comprehensive Copywriting Academy. For her, being "filthy rich" means having a job you love, being good at what you do, and making great money doing it.

Today on the podcast, we are talking about all things negotiation. When it comes to thinking about making a career change, it's so easy to psych yourself out at tons of different points along the way.

There are all kinds of limiting beliefs and fears and worries that can pop up in our minds from “I shouldn't be negotiating right now because of the economic climate we're in” to “I shouldn't be negotiating because I'm making a career change.”

To debunk and bust all of these internal scripts, I have negotiation expert, Olivia Jaras, who is going to be sharing all about her work her expertise, and how to make sure you are setting yourself up for success.

This episode is for you, if you have been on the prowl for a job, and you want to be prepared for a negotiation situation when it comes up. If you're not on the prowl, yet, but you're thinking about making a transition and want to make sure that you understand how to show other people what you're worth. And if you are in the thick of interviews right now, and you may be receiving an offer imminently, and you want to make sure that you have got exactly what you need in your toolbox to make that offer and the offer negotiation process go in your favor.

I have been counting down the days to this day since the very beginning of the year. Today, my dear wonderful friends is the day that Career Clarity, the book, comes out into the world and into our lives. 

It is no joke to publish your own book. It can take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get here. It feels almost a little bit surreal to be saying that my book is out in the world. I'm so excited for it to be out in the world for people to be able to pick it up off the street, even if they've never heard of us to feel like they've got some hope, some inspiration and some motivation for what's possible in your work and your life.

Have you ever wondered why finding great jobs can be so challenging?

Job searching certainly isn't easy, and can take a lot of time. However, there's often something going on underneath the surface that can derail or completely sabotage our job search efforts: our attitude.

No, no, I'm not going to start sounding like your grandma and lecture you about having a better attitude... at least not today. Today, we're talking about how powerful our beliefs are about our abilities, and how they can allow you to find success (and, great compensation packages) even in an economy going sideways.

Today's podcast guest is Olivia Gamber, an expert on psychology, mindset, and landing lucrative jobs. We talk about high value mindsets, dismantling self-limiting beliefs, and finding the hidden job market where most of the highest paying roles are. (Hint: it's not on job boards... but if you've spent much time on job boards recently, you probably already knew that.)

This episode is a juicy one that I'm sure you'll get some good nuggets from. (Let me know what they are!)

Adversity supposedly brings out our true colors: it show us who we are when things aren't going perfectly. But so often in times of pressure or stress, it feels easy to default into survival-thinking and to lose sight of the future (and who we want to be). If you feel like you haven't been showing up at your best and want to create an authentic vision of yourself as a leader, you're going to love this.

Career Clarity certified coach Kate Solis Silva (who's also quoted in Career Clarity the book!) comes on The Career Clarity Show podcast today to talk about your identity as a leader, how to explore it, and how to intentionally create it, even in times that are as unpredictable as these.

It's a juicy conversation (and one I didn't realize I needed so much) about who we think we are, who our peers see us as, and who we truly want to become.

It's no understatement to say that people have been feeling far more stress than they were expecting this year. Especially between work unpredictability and changing your life to suit a pandemic, the last few months have been rough.

It's becoming clear that this lack of "normal" is actually the new "normal," at least for a while. And that means we need to equip ourselves with the tools to manage the stress (and distress) that's become a hallmark of this unexpected year.

That's why I'm SO glad to be able to share this episode of The Career Clarity Show podcast with you. We invited stress reduction and management expert Carlee Myers to share about her innovative process to make life more do-able, no matter your circumstances.

Carlee's mission to master stress reduction for herself and share it with others comes from a shocking (and scary) beginning, and is an incredible story to hear. In our interview, Carlee shares about creative stress reduction: what it means, what it could look like for you, and why you need it now more than ever. (I've been pondering creative stress reduction in my own life ever since our conversation, and am excited to figure out how to better implement it in my own life!) The podcast gives you working definitions of stress and suffering you can use to navigate the ups and downs of your life with more ease and elegance.

If you've ever worked in a job where you didn't quite feel like you fit, today's episode of the podcast is for you. Many people struggle in jobs that look great on paper but don't feel great in person, and wonder why things don't feel natural or satisfying. Performance strategist Laura Garnett has a theory, and she's written about it in her two books: it's that you might be operating outside your personal Zone of Genius.

If you're curious to understand how you can identify and track your zone of genius, tune into this episode. We talk about how Laura's "dream job" at Google ended up being out of alignment with her genius zone, how to properly value your gifting, and how to bring more of yourself to the workplace — and, what to do if your workplace doesn't fully love you back. It's a juicy episode about how you can use your gifts to lead, and I hope you'll take as much out of it as I did.

Job searching can feel frustrating or futile, especially in unstable times like these. It's easy to slide into hopelessness or complacency and give up on yourself. But no matter how you might be emotionally or energetically feeling, don't wait to be picked! Today's guest expert, Mac Pritchard of MacsList.org, shares his brilliance about how to take command of your job search right now.   On this episode, Mac shares about why job boards aren't always your best tool, how to think differently about relationship building, and how to focus on all the factors that you can control in your job search. He makes approaching a job search feel practical and do-able, even now, and his clarity on how to make the system work for you is awesome.

When working with capable, high achieving folks on making a bold career transition, there's a common stalling out point that pops up. It's the tension between ambition — the desire to keep pushing, hustling, and growing — and rest. So many of us get to the top of our industry, organization, or game by constantly achieving... but it also leads to burnout, exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, and resentment. The thing we love (and get energy from) can also become the cause of our plateaus or roadblocks.

It can then feel like a chicken-or-the-egg trap: I don't have time for rest because I can't rest if I'm going to achieve my goals; but if I don't rest, I'm going to burnout or become less productive and slow down. When we help people create careers they love here at Career Clarity, we want it to be on their own terms in order to be sustainable and healthy. And those terms almost always need to include more time for rest and active recovery.

On this episode of the podcast, I talk about the different kinds of limitations or boundaries on your life, setting specific goals, and defining how to sustainably "thrive" instead of just survive. You can still keep kicking ass and achieving if you do it in a more strategic, creative, and boundaried way.

Today's episode is on a topic that is near and dear to my heart: using your voice. What is it about standing up for what we believe in, speaking truth to power, and being willing to be vulnerably seen for our opinions that's so terrifying? Using your voice is often a question of -- or sign of -- your power. And for individuals who hold a minority identity, specifically BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women, using your fullest, truest voice can feel terrifying. Like one wrong move puts your job security or career in jeopardy.    It can feel a lot easier to suffer silently and put your head down. But today's episode of the podcast is why being courageous and sticking your neck out is so important. Career and leadership coach Nariah Broadus talks about finding her own voice, how she supports others in amplifying their voices, and offers advice for how to have your own back (and provide a microphone for others' voices, too).      Show Notes: * Nariah Broadus * Email Lisa at Lisa@GetCareerClarity.com * Roadmap to a Fulfilling Career eBook
