362: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You with Mark A. Herschberg

by

I don’t recall exactly how I got connected to today’s guest (a publicist, maybe), but not long after we’d secured an interview date, I received an email from a client with a desire to make an intro to…you guessed it: today’s guest.

My client had just had Mark A. Herschberg on his own podcast and thought Mark would make a tremendous guest for my show as well. Little did my client know, Mark and I were already scheduled to talk. It is my pleasure to bring that conversation to you today.

Mark wrote a brand new book, released in January, called The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.

Networking, negotiating, communicting, leading, career planning – all skills critical to your career success, Mark says. But did anyone ever teach you these skills? If not, it’s okay. You’re in luck.

Mark’s book will help you master all of these things and more. You might say it’s a multivitamin for your career.

307: 30 Hacks for Bringing Joy to Your Job with Bruce Daisley

by

It’s easy to fall into the mistaken belief that the way we work today is the way it has sort of always been.

In reality, what we know as work today has only been practiced for the last 200 years or so; a mere drop in the ol’ history bucket, if you will.

bruce daisley

My guest today on the podcast is Bruce Daisley, most recently Vice President of Twitter’s European division.

His new book is called Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat: 30 Hacks for Bringing Joy to Your Job.

In it, he draws on both his experience at companies like Twitter, Google, and YouTube and his relationship with experts in psychology, economics, and behavioral science to offer 30 research-based hacks for bringing joy into our burned-out, unproductive work culture.

How, for example, does a lunch break create more productivity? Is it true that you can improve team performance simply by moving the coffee maker? How can walking meetings be a better alternative to the usual conference room?

For answers to these questions, click the play button below to join our conversation now, or keep scrolling for a summary.

264: Life Is Too Short to Do Things You Can’t Stand!

by

Back in 2016, my friend Jeff Goins shared some strong feelings on Facebook about complaining when it comes to your job.

I’ve included an excerpt of that post below:

jeff brown

I’m sorry, people. But you can’t hate your job and do nothing about it. Either change your circumstance or stop complaining. Your employer deserves better—and so do you.

And please, please, PLEASE don’t tell me you have no options. You have options. Lots of them:

-You can quit.

-You can change departments.

-You can do something on the side that makes your current situation more tolerable.

You have a choice. You may not like it. It may not be easy. But you are not stuck.

258: Dead End Job? Do This Next!

by

Today, I want to share with you some crucial career advice, at least one element of which has taken me longer to learn than I’d like to admit.

These are the next three steps you need to take if your current job is no longer fulfilling you and you’re not sure what to do next.

jeff brown

Now, it may be that you simply need to find a new job. It may also mean, it’s time for you to take the leap and venture out on your own; a dream of many, but a path that is taken by few.

1. Begin with the End in Mind

Set a deadline, a date in the future by which you desire to ultimately make the transition.

The first time we set this kind of goal, it made all the difference. At one point in our marriage, my wife and I decided we wanted her to have the freedom to stay at home.

So, we began by picking a date into the future, by which we wanted to make this a reality.

Our choice was aided by determining how much of a nest egg we felt was necessary, and how long it would take us to aggressively save that much money.
