The Skip podcast Nikhyl Singhal

Around 10-20% of my coaching calls tackle burnout. In today's episode, we dissect several paraphrased conversations, drawing from years of career coaching experience, offering insights and practical advice to help you manage burnout, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate a resilient mindset.

In today's episode, learn to craft a compelling two-minute career story you can use for interviews, personal assessments, networking events, and LinkedIn. Good stories ensure clarity, showcasing your achievements and authenticity. We dissect a typical PM career story and walk through how to make it compelling.

In my fourth live coaching session, this caller felt like they had earned an unfair reputation as someone who struggles with collaboration in the workplace. The caller wanted guidance on transforming past perceptions into a new reality.

In my third episode of live coaching sessions, this caller was feeling dissatisfied with their narrow scope of role and lack of cultural fit in their current company. The caller wanted guidance on what their next role should be, given their personal situation and professional ambition.

Their situation captures a difficult choice facing many superstars: seeking a sizable impact rarely found outside of startups, while also craving the compensation only late-stage companies can afford. We discuss the frameworks and strategies required to approach this career choice wisely.

Privacy is paramount for these calls, so we have anonymized the content and received permission from the caller to ensure no personal or sensitive information is disclosed.

This is my second episode experimenting with live coaching sessions. The format is my attempt to scale insights on common queries and themes I’m often asked about by listeners.

This caller was looking for guidance after finding that a role they joined 4 months ago was not what they expected. Their situation exemplifies the kind of hard problems that leaders have to solve, and we speak about the traits and strategies required to approach these problems wisely.

Privacy is paramount for these calls, so we have anonymized the content and received permission from the caller to ensure no personal or sensitive information is disclosed.

Welcome back to The Skip; this episode is a little bit special as I’m experimenting with a new format: live coaching sessions. This idea came from the realization that the coaching queries I receive from listeners often have common themes.

My hope is that recording and sharing a coaching call like this demonstrates how the frameworks are applied in real conversations and possibly helps others with similar situations. Naturally, privacy is paramount, so we’ve anonymized the content and received permission from the caller to ensure no personal or sensitive information is disclosed.
