    How to Go From Anxious Perfectionist to Empowered High-Achiever

    How do you manage your anxiety-driven overachieving without losing your competitive edge? There’s a good chance that, if you’re an avid Bossed Up listener, the spiral of the do-it-all overachiever is familiar to you. You’re stressed out, maybe burnt out, and potentially navigating anxiety, too.. Maybe you fear that seeking more balance means losing the drive that makes you successful and sought-after. Dr. Lindsay Pfister-Kerr is a recovering anxiety-driven perfectionist turned coach and the author of “From Perfectionist to Empowered: A Makeover Guide.” She’ll be the first to tell you that you don’t have to choose one or the other. In this episode, she speaks with me about the reverberating impact our perfectionism and stress have on those around us and how we can make moves toward a better balance without giving up our high-achiever status. Lindsay’s insights will give you hope that you can step out of the stress of perfectionism and embrace a more intentional, fulfilling life. Create empowerment without abandoning your ambition: How mindfulness and the right questions can make you better at your job; Small, simple steps that lead to big mindset changes; The stress cycle you create when you’re always operating at 110%; How to recognize toxic perfectionism.

    Your Value Proposition is the Biggest Asset of Your Job Search

    How can a strong value proposition help you stand out in your job search? If you can’t explain how your skills and experience make you perfect for a position, you’ll have a hard time convincing a hiring team to choose you. That’s why, whether you’re looking to rise in the ranks at your current organization or go in an entirely new direction, selling yourself with clarity and confidence is essential.  In this episode, I walk you through building a powerful value proposition, from brainstorming and data collection to getting outside support. You have all the experience you need to write the perfect sales pitch, one that sums up why your past experience and impact make you the best choice for that exciting new job or promotion. Get confident and concise with your value proposition: Why your past experiences play in, regardless of how much you plan to pivot; How to utilize AI as a useful tool, but never as the final say; How to keep your humility from dampening your sales pitch; Using assessments and aptitude tests to beef up your value vocabulary.

  4. Why AI is Giving Women the “Ick”

    Why AI is Giving Women the “Ick”

    Does using AI to optimize your schedule or do your research give you a distinct sense of unease? There’s something innate keeping women from incorporating new automation tools into their workflows, and it’s not just a lack of interest. Many are describing it as actual repulsion, and I want to understand why. Women are facing a double disadvantage: they’re more likely to lose their jobs to AI, and they’re less likely to get jobs that the AI revolution will create. That significant gender gap deserves much closer exploration. So let’s dig deeper into why so many women are saying no to automated agents and what that means for our impending AI future. Let’s unpack why AI is giving women “the ick” together, including: How the billion-dollar AI industry highlights the invisible nature of “women’s work”; Why women are perfectly positioned to see an often-overlooked truth about AI What the studies say about why women aren’t adopting AI as readily as men; Why the transformation to ideal AI agent manager isn’t going to happen overnight.

    How to Survive in an Overstimulating Workplace

    For many of us, the standard workday is a constant stream of alerts: messages on the team group chat, texts from your child’s daycare, emails from your boss, co-workers popping by to chat in person. It’s enough to set even the most focused professional on edge. When Alex Gilbert, an expert in neurodiversity advocacy for working adults, started Cape-Able Consulting, she intended to help put an end to masking at the office. She helps individuals and companies create environments where employees don’t have to pretend that hectic, nonstop-notification work environment is actually working for them. You don’t need a diagnosis to feel overstimulated on the job or to put Alex’s tips into action to help improve your workplace—for yourself and everyone around you. Put an end to white-knuckling your way through the workday with Alex’s insights: Why work is even harder for neurodiverse women; The parallels between neurodiversity and high-achieving personalities; How implementing the right AI tools in the workplace can level the playing field for every employee; Whether or not you need to disclose your diagnosis as you advocate for your needs.

    The Double Disadvantage: AI, Women, and the Future of Work

    It’s no secret that AI is transforming the workforce. Countless op-eds and studies have been published in the past few years, but wherever you stand on using AI, one thing is abundantly clear: women’s jobs are at risk. Furthermore, there’s a double disadvantage at play that we aren’t talking about enough: the AI revolution is threatening the jobs many of us do, and most of us don’t benefit from the new jobs it’s creating. That phenomenon is calling us to an action we might not want to take. We need to get familiar with AI. Not to become staunch proponents, and not to help our companies hand our hard-earned jobs over to the robots. Instead, in this episode, I argue that educating ourselves is how we’ll maintain our agency and level up in the workplace. Find out why getting AI-savvy doesn’t mean giving up your professional advantage: Why AI transformation is expected to impact women more; Why we don’t seem to be reaping the benefits of that transition; How you can take control of the AI impact on your career.

    Managing Through The Millennial Career Crisis

    If you’re disillusioned with your current job, you’re far from alone. Turns out, a whole generation is looking for a better road to career “success.” In the face of all this well-deserved disillusionment, I sought out the person behind the trending “millennial career crisis” hashtag to really get to the bottom of what the phenomenon is and why it seems to be affecting my generation especially.  Janel Abrahami is a career coach whose background in organizational psychology and corporate HR, and her own career crisis, make her the ideal advisor and spokesperson for forging a better path. Janel argues that, thanks to a heap of daunting factors, a “successful career” looks a lot different than it did in our parents’ day. She joins me to break down her six pathways that help us take back ownership of our careers in the face of despair and disillusionment Retake control and design your own success: Six pathways that let you choose your own adventure; Why career dissatisfaction seems to be hitting millennials hard right now; The importance of resting before we jump and strategizing before we build; The broken social construct facing everyone working today.

    Rebalance Your Career Portfolio

    How could you diversify your income streams by pursuing your interests? Anyone who knows me knows I have a lot going on—I run Bossed Up, I have a corporate day job, I’m a parent…and that’s not even half of it. But I firmly believe that expanding your career portfolio is a wise move, for your finances and your energy sustainability.  Especially in the current wildly unstable job market, why focus all your time, energy, and interest on a single job? By doing so, you run the risk of being left at loose ends if, heaven forbid, your job falls through. In this episode, I share my own exciting new business venture, along with some helpful tips for exploring your own side hustles and hobby monetization. If you’ve ever considered becoming a multi-hyphinate—or know someone who’s on that path—you’re going to love this one. Mitigate your income risk and diversify your time and energy: The two pie charts that sum up your career portfolio; How to find more time for your side hustle without exhausting yourself; Three ways you can start to explore doing more, safely and strategically.
