The key to ensuring you don't repeat mistakes and repeat successes is to evaluate. In some industries, it's called a post-mortem. It's a way to bring people together and figure out how to do more of what you want and less of what you don't.A simple framework for post-mortems is asking yourself three simple questions:What worked?What didn't work?What would we do differently?These three Ws are especially powerful when you apply them to yourself and your career.Elissa likes to include them when you prepare for your interview (listen to learn how). In Episode 128, Elissa will also teach you how you can make little shifts in these questions to evaluate your past, present, and future so you can identify more of what you need to experience success in your career.There's always stuff that works. Start there. Feel good about it. Then move on to the other two questions without judgment. Evaluate often, and you'll find yourself moving toward achieving your goals more consistently.Enjoy!Resources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

What makes you tick? Why is it so important to identify your strengths?When you have a sense of your strengths, you get a sense of possibility. You start looking at opportunities and evaluating if those fit YOU, instead of you trying to fit into the mold of a job.A strength doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a record of success or ability, it goes far deeper than that. In this episode, Elissa walks you through Marcus Buckingham's acronym for identifying your strengths from his book Go Put Your Strengths to Work --S - Success - What makes you feel happy?I - Instinct - What are you drawn to?G - Growth - What growth areas feel effortless?N - Need - What things tap into your innate needs?You owe it to yourself to look for the SIGNS!Love Your Work Life EP65: Grace, Flow, & GritResources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

What would it look like if you talked to yourself like someone you love?Last week we talked about lies and how when we lie to ourselves, it becomes so easy to break the promises that we've made to ourselves.In this episode we're going to dig deeper into how to identify the lies and replace them with truths:--Acknowledge the negative feelings. Allow yourself to be real and vulnerable with yourself.--Question whether a thought is actually true or a lie you're telling yourself.--Write a new true statement.--Practice. Over and over and over.Remember, you spent a lot of years creating those destructive thought patterns, but you can change your entire life. Changing your life isn't the hard part. Giving yourself permission is hard. It requires practice. But my friends, it is 100% worth it.YOU are 100% worth it.Many middle managers worry about how to lead in a toxic environment or balance the needs of their team with the demands of their higher ups.

Did you know that the lies we tell ourselves can be the biggest roadblock to our success? It's a hard pill to swallow, but the truth can set you free. When you tell yourself lies like "I'm too old," "I'm not good enough," or "I've tried everything," you’ll break promises you made to yourself, stay stuck, and prevent yourself from reaching your full potential."You define you. Age is a circumstance. Age does not define you." – Elissa ShuckIn this week’s episode:- Discover the common lies we tell ourselves- Techniques to challenge and change these liesBy cultivating disciplines like questioning the lie and using your emotions as a guidance system, you can rewire your brain away from destructive thought patterns to new thoughts that help you keep your promises to yourself.As Viktor Frankl teaches in his book, "Man's Search for Meaning," every single person on the planet has the power to choose our own way, to choose the meaning that we attach to anything that's happening to us.When you identify and challenge the lies you tell yourself, you can break free from self-imposed limitations and step into your full potential. It's not an overnight process, but it's a journey worth taking.Many middle managers worry about how to lead in a toxic environment or balance the needs of their team with the demands of their higher ups.

Our lives are run by paradigms. They were planted into our subconscious early and control our experience and results throughout our life.Your paradigms are the multitude of fixed concepts controlling your habits and behaviors. Some are good, some not so good; like the messages about your value, capabilities, capacity and self image that are attached to the report cards you got throughout your education.

What if you didn't have to follow your bliss? Or do what you love so you never have to work a day in your life?I'm not a fan of those statements because they're a little fluffy for me but mostly because I believe doing hard things like overcoming obstacles and feeling the discomfort and doing it anyway is where the magic is. Instead of avoiding the messy, uncomfortable stuff in your work life because you think it means something is wrong, embrace it. That's how you tap into the abundance in your own brain, figure things out and give yourself something to celebrate when you feel the discomfort and do it anyway.Resources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

Just before I sat down for this episode, I was on the phone with a client who had just received a job offer. It was such a celebration. She overcame career disruption! And not only that, she still has interviews in her pipeline which she fully intends to see though. Who knows? She might get a better offer. While we were talking, I suddenly remembered the Billy Squire song, and said to her "Everybody wants you!"What a power sentence! Whether your outward circumstances match or not, thinking "Everybody wants me" is an affirmation that can only help you navigate the craziness that comes with a job search. So, for this episode, I'm throwing back to one from late 2022 about how to overcome career disruption. It's one of my favorites because the techniques I teach you are tried and true for me and the hundreds of clients I've helped land jobs and make career pivots. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, Elissa shares some intriguing facts about the nature of carbon and the implications it has for how you can reframe your approach to work life.

When we hear the word "stubborn" we often think of the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. But there is a good kind of stubborn.It's the tenacity, dedication, and commitment that comes from deep inside you. This week, Elissa talks about that good stubbornness, and compares healthy vs. unhealthy stubbornness.Be stubborn enough to believe that what you want is possible, and stubborn enough to invest in yourself.
