How Introverts Can Win in the Workplace | E401 May 13, 2024

Show notes

Introverts are the unsung heroes of the workplace. They're thoughtful, analytical, and they excel at working independently. Still, if you have an introverted personality type, getting ahead at work can be a challenge. This podcast episode is going to tell you how to leverage your introvert superpowers (because I promise, you have them) and WIN in the workplace as an introvert.

Although introverts can be assets to a team, they struggle with visibility. They may hesitate to speak up in meetings and spend lunch hours munching a salad in their car rather than socializing with coworkers. Unfortunately, upper management might mistake your introverted personality for disengagement or even disagreeableness. But there are steps you can take to make your voice heard, highlight your accomplishments, and connect with your colleagues, all while staying true to YOU.

05:42 Career Paths for Introverts

How to Break Generational Cycles | E399 Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

We all inherit some baggage from our families of origin — and often, we don't even realize we're carrying it! On today's episode, I'm talking about how you can explore the intergenerational cycles that may be holding you back, and then make some intentional choices about what you want to keep, and what you want to leave behind.

Breaking generational cycles is a self-affirming process. It frees you from ways of thinking and behaving that may have felt like "just the way things are," and allows you to become who you truly are at your core. And if you're parent, breaking generational cycles can be even more important, because it spares your kids from inheriting the junk that's weighing you down.

Tune in to learn all about how this works, including:

06:35 What Are Intergenerational Patterns?
09:49 Recognizing Your Patterns and Making Changes
21:22 Getting Help with Deeply Engrained Patterns
25:30 Emotional Intelligence and Generational Cycles
32:06 The Value of Structured Emotional Intelligence Work

And more! I hope you'll join me, and that you'll feel inspired to break through the patterns that are no longer serving you, so you can start a positive new chapter. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby P.S. — Want help with breaking generational cycles?
