    What is the Source of Your Expectations?

    What is the Source of Your Expectations?

    In today's dive into "Being Unapologetically Authentic," we're peeling back the layers on something that hits close to home for all of us - expectations. With our worlds colored by wildly different backgrounds, it's easy to fall into the trap of slapping our own set of expectations onto others. But here's the thing: that's not how it works, nor how it should. We chat about the journey of stepping back, reassessing the facts presented to us, and our boundaries. It's about watching the magic happen as misunderstandings clear up and relationships get a facelift.

    "Rethinking Expectations: Lessons from a TEDx Talk"

    "Rethinking Expectations: Lessons from a TEDx Talk"

    In this episode of "Being Unapologetically Authentic," I dive headfirst into a whirlwind sparked by my TEDx Oneonta adventure. Picture this: my TEDx talk drops during the holidays, and I'm over the moon, blasting it out to the world, no previews, no second guesses. Then, in the dead of night, a gut feeling hits me—watch your talk, Jean. And bam! A key piece on "fractional success" process is missing.


     


    This revelation isn't just personal; it's universal. I connect the dots to everyday life, showing how unchecked expectations silently script our interactions and shape our reality. I challenge you to shake up and scrutinize your own expectations. This isn't just tweaking; it's transforming how we engage with the world.


     


    This episode is a wake-up call, a reminder that questioning our assumptions can radically alter our life's narrative. Ready to flip the script on your expectations? Let's dive in and redefine authenticity together.

    Are Your Beliefs Around Parenting Blocking Your Career Success?

    Are Your Beliefs Around Parenting Blocking Your Career Success?

    In our journey this season, we started by dissecting the nuts and bolts of career success – what it is and the secrets to achieving it. Our first episode dove into the realms of salary expectations, but guess what? We've pivoted to something even more intriguing: the world of expectations in general.
    Why? Because fluid conversations lead to unexpected insights. We've ventured from topic to topic, discovering how seemingly distant subjects are actually intricately linked to our central theme. It’s a fascinating exploration that you won't want to miss!
    That's why I'm thrilled to bring you this latest episode, where I explore how my parenting decisions, particularly around my children's education, reflect on my professional mindset. I share my personal journey, discussing how our roles at home, such as being a parent, can significantly shape our behaviors and expectations in the workplace. This conversation sheds light on the interconnectedness of our personal and professional lives, and the importance of finding a balance between them.
    Tune in to uncover the secret synergy between the parenting and professional expectations. You'll also discover an unexpected benefit of delving into our personal expectations.
    Let's navigate these waters together and unlock new levels of success! 🚀 #CareerSuccess #PersonalGrowth #PodcastLife #ExpectationsVsReality" #corporateamerica #newepisode #salary #salaryexpectations #successmethod #careergoals #careermode #careeradvice #professionaldevelopment #professionallife #subscribe #workingwomen #expectations #surprise #unexpectedbenefits #parentingjourney #privatevspublicschool #fighting #peace

    Let’s Talk About EXPECTATIONS!

    Let’s Talk About EXPECTATIONS!

    Have you ever wondered how your expectations are ruining your life?
     
    In this episode, I explore how my expectations have been feeding my need to control my life. Whether it's in my career, family life, or friendships - my expectations have led me to experience so much personal conflict. Internal and external.
    The inspiration for this episode came to me recently from chatting with friends. One friend can't figure out what to do because her husband expects her to help him run his business, while another friend expects people to think like her. Both friends are constantly angry and disappointed that people seem to fail them.
    Ever have one of those days? I have!!! So why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we expect others to be just like us? Or expect our husbands to be our knights in shining armor when he doesn't even own a metal suit?
     
    Tune into this episode to find out.

    Salary Expectations and Your Success

    Salary Expectations and Your Success

    In the last episode, I spoke about the salary expectations, and how it fits within your success story. Many of us may not really understand or even have a success story. Or, we get caught up with the success story that we're told to have, rather than to take the time that allows us to feel successful. If this is you, then I created this episode for you. 
    Listen today for the tools you need to discover your own personal success story.

    When is it ever enough?

    When is it ever enough?

    In this episode, we examine how society's pressure to "keep up with the Joneses" impacts our definition of success, especially when it comes to determining how much money we need to make before we consider ourselves successful. This is what I call the "Jones metric". Join me as we navigate the blurred lines between personal achievement and external expectations, questioning why we measure our worth by material comparisons. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode on redefining success so you can finally be successFULL.
