With the business landscape shifting rapidly—record reorgs, layoffs, and strategic pivots—it’s never been more critical to take full ownership of your career and ensure you’re set up for long-term success. Your job? It’s a situationship. And whether you’ve accepted that truth or not, the key to stability is realizing that you work for YOU, Inc.

    68. Reminder (Again) Your Job Is A Situationship

    Episode 68. Reminder: Your Job is a Situationship – And That’s Okay Episode Summary: Welcome to another episode of The Career Clinic Podcast! Today, I’m bringing you a timely reminder: Your job is a situationship—and that’s okay. This topic is near and dear to my heart because the way we view and engage with work has a profound impact on how we navigate our lives. As we enter a year full of cultural shifts, economic changes, and organizational pivots, it’s more important than ever to step back, take a breath, and get clear about the nature of our work relationships. Companies invite us into their missions—not to build around ours. And while they may care about their people, their ultimate focus is their bottom line and impact. This reality doesn’t make them “bad,” but it does call for us to remain clear-headed and intentional about how we engage. In this episode, I break down why jobs are situational partnerships, how to balance your goals with the needs of your employer, and what it looks like to show up as the CEO of “You Inc.” This isn’t about demonizing work or companies—it’s about reminding you to protect your agency, set boundaries, and align your work with the life you want to live. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why your job is a partnership, not your identity. How companies invite you into their mission but rarely ask about your goals—and what that means for your career strategy. The importance of reading the seasons and rhythms of organizations to make empowered career decisions. Why it’s critical to start every role with clarity about where your interests overlap and where they don’t. Key Takeaways: Your job is one chapter in your life’s book—not the whole story. Companies have their own goals and intentions. Your challenge is to align with them while staying true to your own mission. Be intentional about what you give and take from any work relationship—and always know when it’s time to pivot. Key Quote: "Every role and every job is a partnership—a situationship. Be intentional about the value you bring and the value you extract. And don’t lose sight of the bigger picture: your life, your goals, and your agency."

    65. The Truth About Hot Takes vs. Thought Leadership

    In this episode of the Career Clinic Podcast, host Ronnie Dickerson Stewart delves into the intriguing juxtaposition of thought leadership versus the rise of "hot takes" in our fast-paced shiny-object-syndrome world. The episode sheds light on the allure of hot takes, which prioritize immediacy over thoroughness, potentially leading to oversimplified or misguided viewpoints. In this episode:  We explore the common desire for thought leadership and the misconception that it solely involves public-facing platforms like social media.  Ronnie emphasizes that true thought leadership can manifest in various forms, even within internal or professional spaces. We underscore the importance of prioritizing value, depth, context, and thoughtful analysis over quick reactions. Ronnie warns against the erosion of collective critical thinking and the silencing of genuine thought leaders in the midst of "hot take" culture. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their consumption habits and how they show up in the world, particularly in their workplaces. Ronnie shares a powerful example of a quiet thought leader making a significant impact during a meeting, highlighting the value of curated, well-thought-out insights.
