How can you reclaim your power in a job that’s just “good enough”?

It turns out The Perfect Job isn’t nearly as common as the LinkedIn posts would have us believe. Most of us spend our working hours in a job that’s okay but far from perfect. The good news is that you can thrive in a just-okay career if you embrace the art of “leading yourself.” 

In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Lotardo to talk about this very concept, which doubles as the title of her new book, Leading Yourself. Elizabeth has spent years helping people at all different stages of their careers discover the potential that awaits when they stop pursuing perfection and begin taking charge of the job they’re already in.

Learn to maximize the job you already have by uncovering:

• The reason we feel like we’re failing if we aren’t holding out for the perfect job;
• Why it can be empowering to “give up on the dream” of getting a paycheck from our passion
• How small changes in your day-to-day can make a huge difference;
• And when you might need to phone it in before you fall apart.
