57: You Don't Have to Settle

This week we’re talking about the sensation of being trapped or stuck, and settling for a situation that doesn’t work for us. It’s often the reason clients seek coaching, and we know from personal experience that it can feel intractable. And yet, this is also an opportunity in our lives to see things clearly, to understand the tensions between what we want and where we are, and to create a shift that results in momentum. There are weights that give us the sensation of being stuck:  fear, comparison, worry…the list goes on.   How can we check reality on these weights?  What can we shift in our thinking through exploration, partnership with someone who challenges us. Each of us also has resources that allow us to move forward: optimism, support, past successes, good habits… We dive into: How important other people (a coach, a community, a trusted friends) can be to getting unstuck… How much good questions can help us move forward… How daily practice is the key to removing the weights and deepening the resources…..

We’re Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we’ll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.
