    81. Book Club: “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” by Ina Garten

    Ina Garten – aka the Barefoot Contessa – is the author of “Be Ready When The Luck Happens: A Memoir” (along with 13 New York Times bestselling cookbooks), a beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and cultural icon. This was a slightly different book club pick for us, and we loved it! Ina’s memoir not only has an incredible, eye-catching title, but it’s full of life lessons and business advice about productivity, hard work, and love hidden in many charming anecdotes and stories. For this book club chat, we dove into: - her unique career path and willingness to start something new (at any age) - having the right partner(s) to believe in and support you - the importance of trying many things to figure out what feels right - our favorite life and career lessons from Ina’s journey - and so much more! As Ina says, “You never know your good breaks from your bad ones.” Mentioned in the episode: “Be Ready When the Luck Happens” by Ina Garten: https://barefootcontessa.com/books/be-ready-when-the-luck-happens  Heather McMahan Does Ina Garten: https://www.instagram.com/heatherkmcmahan/tv/B976Ro1J1qP/  Ina Garten Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inagarten  The Oprah Podcast with Ina Garten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKs-2qufe80  SmashingGold: https://www.instagram.com/smashinggold/  MAED Beauty: https://www.maedbeauty.com Raven Ross Instagram Reel on “What You’re Not Changing, You’re Choosing”: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGYeEWZxKul/  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.

    80. Why Is Everyone Talking About Upskilling?

    Upskilling is the hot word in the professional world lately. Whether you are looking to layoff-proof your job, or simply eager to attract more money, clients, and opportunities, it’s never a bad idea to continue growing your skills. As self-professed lifelong learners, we decided to hop on the mic to discuss what areas we want to level up in this year. We get into: - hard skills vs. soft skills  - whether everyone needs to learn AI - growing your skills with online courses, on nonprofit boards, or at your company - some of the classes and trainings we’re exploring this year - and great advice from Your Rich BFF, Shonda Rhimes, and more! Mentioned in the episode: Vivian Tu (Your Rich BFF): https://www.yourrichbff.com/  Harvard Business School Online YouTube “How to Upskill in 2024 to Advance Your Career”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WeAyYWkfwU&t=1627s  How Gen Z Is Becoming the Toolbelt Generation: https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/gen-z-trades-jobs-plumbing-welding-a76b5e43  Google Cloud – Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence: https://cloud.google.com/learn/training/machinelearning-ai SkillPop: https://www.skillpop.com/  Shonda Rhimes on Her Most Important Rules of Negotiating: https://www.wsj.com/articles/shonda-rhimes-on-her-most-important-rules-of-negotiating-11647865638 Suri: https://www.trysuri.com Perfectly Imperfect (PI): https://www.pi.fyi/  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.

    79. Are You Living Life In a Velvet Coffin (and Are You Ready To Get Out)?

    Suzy Welch is a Professor of Management Practice at the NYU Stern School of Business, a business journalist, and best-selling author who coined the Velvet Coffin theory. This theory describes how waiting to change a job or life that’s comfortable – but not your big dream – puts you in a metaphorical “velvet coffin” with a lid that slowly closes and traps you. Yikes!  Our conversation dives into: - the difference between comfort, contentment, and complacency  - how this shows up for people who aren’t career-driven - understanding what drives you and clearly defining your dream(s) - & so much more!

    78. Do You Know Your Values (and Are You Living By Them)?

    We’re back! After a quick catch-up on what we’ve been up to during our hiatus, we kick off our first new episode of the year with a conversation on values – our personal compass that guides us toward what’s important to us. We chat about: - Some of Melissa and Renée’s core values - Surrounding yourself with people who share or complement your values - What happens to us when we’re living out of alignment with our values - Questions and tools to help discover your values - Navigating tough conversations in defense of your values - & so much more!

    77. Is Being an Overachiever Overrated?

    Many people (including us) proudly wear the label of overachiever and enjoy being the kind of people to go above and beyond – in work and in other parts of life. But that’s not always a good thing. Sometimes, it can actually create more problems than it solves. This week, we unravel the downsides of being an overachiever, including: - the challenge of setting unrealistic (and unsustainable) expectations about your capacity - knowing where to put your extra energy and effort - the pros and cons of overperforming during your first 30/60/90 days on the job - the difference between being a high achiever and an overachiever - why it doesn’t have to be lonely at the top, if you build the right support network - many, many automobile metaphors  Remember, “You can’t spell career without car.” PS - 1.80 seconds is the fastest F1 pit stop record. Mentioned in the episode: “Set Boundaries, Find Peace” by Nedra Glover Tawwab: https://www.nedratawwab.com/set-boundaries-find-peace  Clare V.: https://www.clarev.com/ Alice in Borderland: https://www.netflix.com/title/80200575  Candice Brathwaite Instagram Reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_qUhEBsRB3/  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.

    76. Is Being Competitive Really So Bad?

    We often hear that we should choose collaboration over competition, but we think there’s a lot of positives that come from competition. A healthy relationship with competition can actually create community when done right – plus, we think everyone deserves to know what it feels like to be a winner. We discuss: - whether we identify as “competitive” people - learning from negative emotions like jealousy - why it’s sometimes harder for women to be seen chasing wins - raising kids with a healthy relationship with competition - group project trauma  - & much more! Mentioned in the episode: “The Rural Diaries” by Hilarie Burton Morgan: https://themischieffarm.com/the-rural-diaries/  “Dinner for Vampires” by Bethany Joy Lenz: https://www.amazon.com/Dinner-Vampires-Life-While-Actual/dp/1668067307  “Working Hard, Hardly Working” Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Grace-Beverley  _____________ Email us: pilotingpod@gmail.com IG: @pilotingpod Hosted on Acast.
