In one of our recent debriefs of how things are going with our coaching practices, we realized at least two sessions in the span of one week focused on the theme of it’s not me, it’s you when it comes to our clients dealing with the leadership teams at their organizations.
We’ve all thought someone else was responsible for things going wrong, negative feedback we’ve received, deadlines getting missed, etc. when the real responsibility lay with us. It’s just the nature of being human.
Our Inside Job, is to take a deeper look at why we’re casting the blame on someone else, what our resistance to taking responsibility means, and how we use that information to grow in the future.

Even though we only just met our guest for the first time a few weeks ago, we’ve quickly discovered we have a lot in common and knew we just had to have him join us on the podcast.

Blending a unique set of leadership experiences in the fields of business and education, he’s pursued this quest as a management consultant to the world’s top corporations, as a learning facilitator for leaders around the world, as Chief Learning Officer at Teach For America, and most recently, as co-CEO of Transcend, a nationally recognized innovation organization.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “This job would be so much better if it weren’t for the people?”
When one of Eric’s clients jokingly said this in a recent discussion, they shared a laugh about it. However, Eric later realized it’s not only something he hears often from his clients, but something he’s also said himself in the past.
We thought it would be a good idea to dig deeper into this sentiment on the podcast, but we want to look at it from the perspective of having customers or clients. Businesses need them to be successful, but so many of us wish we could do business without them and the negative things they bring to our workday.
Since we can’t all pull a Henry David Thoreau and live alone in a cabin for years at a time, let’s explore how we can protect ourselves from the naysayers.

We’re delighted today to be joined by a guest who is going to help demystify the world of executive search and recruiting. This is an area that we hear from you guys about with questions all the time, and it’s an area that we honestly feel we could use a little more education in as well.

Is it possible to change someone’s perspective of you?
If so, how do you do it?
Nayla’s recently had conversations with several clients about changing other people’s perceptions of us and we’ve realized this comes up a lot in our coaching practices so it’s time we covered it on the show.
Nayla even gets vulnerable and shares an example of feedback she received early in her career that she avoided addressing at first and what she learned from that experience.
If you’ve ever been given less-than-ideal feedback and you want to change what people think of you, or you’re responsible for providing feedback to members of your organization, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

We’re pleased to be joined today by Lesley Jane Seymour who’s going to be talking to us about the concept of reinventing yourself.
Lesley has been the Editor-in-Chief of multiple magazines including More, Marie Claire, and Redbook. When her illustrious career in the magazine world came to an end, she was forced to reinvent herself.
Lesley has since turned her reinvention story into a company called CoveyClub, which supports women with both their career and personal reinventions.
It’s easy to see just from this quick bio exactly why we thought she would be the perfect person to talk to about the reinvention of self and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.

None of us are immune to feeling angry, but do we express it in a healthy and constructive way that minimizes the negative impact on those we work with?
A recent experience with one of Eric’s clients has led to us tackling the topic of anger in the workplace from not just one angle, but two on this week’s episode of the podcast.
Not only did this client’s experience inspire this episode, but it also inspired us to take a hard look at how we handle our own anger that arises in our work. We invite you to listen to this episode so we can all do this inner work together and create healthier workplaces.

Ever since our conversation last week with Maricella Herrera, we’ve been talking nonstop amongst ourselves and those around us about what can be learned as a result of making big decisions in our lives; more specifically the decision to quit our job.
As part of these conversations, we realized our clients frequently express a fantasy about quitting their jobs. So, today, we want to explore where the fantasy might end and reality begins as you consider even just the fantasy of quitting your job.

Nayla’s former student and current friend, Maricella Herrera, joins us on the podcast this week to chat about her experience quitting a job and what she’s learned interviewing people on her podcast called, Sh*t I Just Quit My Job.
Maricella is also a strategy consultant and advisor for mission-driven companies who has more than fifteen years of experience building communities. Lately, she’s been on a mission to bring more empathy and courage to the world and she believes honestly sharing our stories, especially around quitting our jobs, is a way to do just that.

It’s our nature to want to feel irreplaceable and that can bring up some complicated emotions whenever we hear how our former departments or organizations are holding up after we vacate a role.
In fact, a recent experience with one of Eric’s clients where the workplace fell apart after she was promoted to a new role is what inspired him to suggest this week’s topic to Nayla.
The realization that Nayla had a client who experienced the opposite situation but was left with the same emotions is why we’re sharing the topic with you on the podcast this week.

We know you’ll find this shocking, but Eric has some strong opinions on this week’s topic, and it might even lead to a rant or two.
A recent meeting with the owner of his son’s racing team inspired this episode where we’re diving into what you do when you feel like you’re not being heard.
This is something we’ve all dealt with in the workplace… likely more than once. So, take a few minutes to listen to us as we share our insights on how to evaluate all sides of the conversation when you feel like people just aren’t listening to you.

In this week’s episode of the Inside Job podcast, we’re building off an interesting experience Eric had recently with a LinkedIn post where he shared an article about how to get a resume past applicant tracking systems that did not go the way he anticipated.
In fact, the response to that post has us both reflecting on what we think it means to be a good professional citizen. If you’re wondering that as well, or even what we mean when we use the term “professional citizen,” then don’t miss this episode!

The latest Green Day album kicks off our conversation today about expectations.
If something fails to meet our expectations, that doesn’t always mean we set them too high, we need to lower them in the future, or we need to overcompensate to make easier for others to meet our expectations. What it might mean instead is that we need to change how we think about our expectations and that, of course, is an inside job.
Take a listen to this week’s episode of the podcast to find out what type of inner work we should be doing and whether that Green Day album exceeded expectations or fell short.

It’s been a little while since we’ve taken listener questions, but we’ve received a few here lately that were really good, so we wanted to take the time to answer two of them on the show this week.
The first question is something that Nayla recently had some personal experience with when she spent about six weeks helping to care for her ailing mother, and the other question is something we’ve all likely thought about doing at some point or another in our careers.

Do you have ghosts of work past?
No, we’re not talking about the kind of ghost that comes to you covered in chains and leads you around in your old-timey nightshirt trying to get you to be less of a jerk.
Our ghosts are people, events, locations, behaviors, feelings, etc. that we associate with previous jobs or careers that show up for us long after we physically leave them behind.
These ghosts of work are more than likely negatively impacting your performance and your relationships with your colleagues. That’s why we think it’s time to break out the candles and have a metaphorical séance with these ghosts so you can stop letting them hinder your success at work.

Do you consider a coworker lazy if they clock-in, do the bare minimum, and clock out?
Are you telling yourself a story about their motivations without knowing what they actually are?
A recent experience Eric had with a client who came to terms with the fact they were being judgmental of their coworkers, led to the realization that most of us carry a lot of judgment around at work and in our personal lives.
This is something we regularly try to help our clients gain a new perspective of, and we figured it was time to bring it to you on the podcast this week.

Both of us had the chance to experience boredom on recent trips, and it sparked the idea for this week’s episode of the podcast because boredom sometimes gets a bad reputation.
Boredom also comes up quite often in our work with our clients. They’re usually not sure what it means or what they’re supposed to do about it. It’s precisely those topics we want to dive into today so we can figure out what a healthy relationship with boredom looks like for you.

If you want to be more successful, you just need to work harder… right?
Asking what success means or looks like for you is one of the most foundational questions you can ask yourself. It’s something we work on often with our clients and something we frequently redefine for ourselves. Take a listen to this week’s episode to find out our thoughts on how success should be measured.
Plus, you don’t want to miss how we manage to discuss spending Christmas in a hotel room, fending off an alligator with a frying pan, and an Arizona dirtbag ala The Good Place all within the first five minutes of the show.

New year, new… goals?
In this first episode of 2024, we reflect on the goals, or questions, we set for ourselves going into 2023. Did we achieve them? Did we under or overestimate the barriers to accomplishing our goals? Are we setting the same goals in 2024 or are we changing things up?
We also explore some of the themes we noticed while working with our clients on their goals in 2023 and what our movie of choice would be if we spent the night in the last remaining Blockbuster that, apparently, has been listed Airbnb in the past for $4/night.
