    370: You Were Never Meant to Drive This Road Alone

    This week, I'm doing something different. Instead of talking about the book, I'm reading it to you, straight from the opening chapter. It starts in Honduras, at a wire harness plant, where I was twenty-two years old and had just been handed the wheel of something I'd never driven, HR Manager for a manufacturing facility of 4,200 employees. I had no business being in that role. I didn't tell anyone how terrified I was. What got me through it wasn't talent. It was people. I just didn't have a name for them yet. This is the story behind the whole book, the moment the road trip metaphor was born, and your first real introduction to the idea that no career was ever meant to be driven alone. The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad: How to Build the Relationships That Drive Every Career Breakthrough is available now, paperback and Kindle.

    369: Ready or Not, We're Driving

    On September 5th something that's lived privately in my head, my laptop, and stolen early mornings for two years becomes a real, my book The 9 People you Need in your Career Squad is launching. In this episode, I'm telling you the truth about launch week that nobody puts in the highlight reel: the pride, the discomfort, and why promoting something you believe in isn't the same as bragging about it. In this episode: The honest, not-so-straight-line story of how a twenty-year-old idea finally got written, two years of early mornings around a full-time job and a family that needed me tooWhy I chose to self-publish instead of chasing a traditional deal, and everything I learned the hard way about editing, formatting, and coversWhat The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad is actually about, and the one missing piece I kept finding in brilliant, hardworking people who still felt stuckHow the book is built, three parts, nine chapters, one framework, and how to read it depending on where your biggest gap isWhat I hope this book does for you, and the one small thing I'm asking you to do if it does This is Episode 1 of a five-part series walking you through the book alongside the real launch. The book goes live September 5th, paperback and Kindle, wherever you get your books. Join the free Book Launch event. Details here: https://buildyourcareersquad.com

    368: Leading through Transitions: What Are You Transitioning From, and To?

    One question to close out the month. It sounds simple, and it is not. What are you transitioning from, and what are you transitioning to? Most of us cannot answer that, not because we do not know, but because we have never stopped long enough to ask. So in this series close, we stop and ask it together. Part one is a coaching session: why transition starts with putting something down rather than picking something up, why your TO should be a direction and not a title, and the thread that survives both. Part two is your questions. Three that came up again and again this month: how to lead yourself through a transition you never chose, what to do when you are clear on what you want but cannot make yourself move, and the one I am hearing most right now, you have decided you want to be someone different, with different priorities and a different relationship to your career, and every time you try to shift, fear pulls you back. Plus the From / To reflection to close your month. In this episode: Why you cannot step into what is next while still holding what is overHow to answer the TO question without knowing your destinationWhat travels with you through any transitionLeading yourself through a change you did not chooseClarity without movement and the fear underneath itWhy changing an identity is harder than changing a behaviorThe From / To reflection Check out my new book and join the free launch event here: https://buildyourcareersquad.com

    367: Leading Through Transitions: The Messy Middle

    This is the most personal episode of the series. I share the two years I spent in the middle with this book: writing, deleting, scrapping whole sections, and the quiet stretch where I thought I might not finish. I also share something I am not proud of, that I broke my own pattern and never announced it, because I was afraid I would fail. And I talk about the moment it stopped being a question about the book and became a question about me. Maybe I am not a writer. Maybe I am not the person who writes a book. Then we get practical. The two ways we all get the middle wrong: freeze and thrash, and the three-part anchor that actually gets you through when certainty is not coming: your values, your throughline, and your next honest step. If you are in the foggy, unglamorous, nobody-claps-for-this middle right now , this one is for you. I am in one too. In this episode: Why the middle is where transitions are actually won or lostFreeze and thrash: the two failure modes, and how to tell which one you are inTwo years, one book, and the middle I went through over and overWhen a practical question quietly becomes an identity verdictThe three-part anchor: values, throughline, next honest stepWhy clarity comes from the walking, not before itThe Anchor Card, and two questions to sit with this week Submit questions you would like me to answer live on the next episode here: https://forms.gle/7YdF8VMa3voUnjA69 Subscribe to the Monday Brew here: https://leadingyourself.myflodesk.com/mondaybrew Check out my upcoming book here: ⁠https://buildyourcareersquad.com⁠
