In this episode, I discuss the importance of betting on yourself and taking control of your career. I share three tips for achieving this: ＞＞ being selfish ＞＞ planning ahead ＞＞ always being curious Being selfish means prioritizing yourself and looking for signs of what you want in your career.

I love Brené Brown's teaching on being courageous through vulnerability. By her definition, being vulnerable is having the courage to lean in when things get tough -- to not quit when you're facing uncertainty or feeling exposed. Being courageous in the sense of being vulnerable is so important. Why? Because creativity, innovation, taking action is reliant on vulnerability -- on leaning in when it's uncomfortable. So, how do you do it? We do it with the three things I'm going to outline for you here. I believe they are key components of having a courageous career :: 03:04 - Facing Reality 07:42 - Listening to Emotions 11:00 - Unconditional Intention Click to listen to Love Your Work Life or find me on your favorite app Always for you, Elissa Thank you for reading and listening!

Want to know the best way to approach your job search? 👇 🛑 Stop arguing for your limitations. That means stop telling yourself stories like :: >> it's taking too long >> I don't have the right skills >> too old, too young, too _________ While you're at it, stop arguing for the limitations of other things, too :: >> the system is broken >> the market is terrible >> the ATS is to blame The only thing arguing for your own limitations or the limitations of others is going to do for you is make you feel terrible. Feeling terrible is not an emotional state that's going to motivate you to take action on all the job search stuff. Feeling terrible isn't going to empower you to show up as your best self when you're writing your resume or doing an interview. The best approach to a job search is to do whatever you can to feel good. Feel good, then follow that up with inspired action instead of feeling terrible and forcing the action. Try it this week. You won't regret it. Always for you, Elissa #JobSearch #Careers #GetHired

There's nothing worse than feeling stuck. >> A job that doesn't fully leverage your skills >> A toxic job that's draining the life out of you >> A company that no longer aligns with values But have you ever thought that you might be so focused on those circumstances that you're keeping yourself stuck. It's called arguing for limitations. As long as you keep arguing for the situations, people and events that are of your control, you'll stay stuck. Don't do that to yourself. Watch this week's podcast episode to learn an easy way to manage your brain and break through any limitation. Always for you, Elissa P.S. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel. I drop new episodes and job search and LinkedIn demo videos every week.

In this episode I explore the concept of breaking through limitations and how to overcome them. I delve into the various types of limitations, the psychology behind them, and practical strategies for addressing and overcoming them. We're all humans, my friends. But we don't have to let those limitations hold us back. Takeaways: >> Limitations can be self-imposed or imposed by external circumstances. >> Processing thoughts and emotions is key to overcoming limitations. >>Emotional guidance can help identify when one is arguing for limitations. >> Awareness of thoughts and feelings is crucial for breaking through. Sound Bites: What would it mean to you to actually break through your limitations? What would it mean to break through the limitations that you believe exist in the circumstances all around you? It could change everything, right? Always for you, Elissa Subscribe to the Love Your Work Life podcast on YouTube https://lnkd.in/gjAcd7ye
