Ep #198: The Secret to Career Happiness
Big, exciting changes in your career can bring a whole bunch of happiness into your life…
…temporarily.
You’ve experienced this cycle before.
Over time, we go from being incredibly happy about a new role, a new organization, a new team…only for the work to eventually feel like, well…work.
Here’s the problem:
Simply working for an organization is never going to be enough to create long-term, meaningful happiness for you.
So what will?
Teaching. But not necessarily in the way you’d expect.
In this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer, I’m going to show you how sharing what you’re currently learning, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the leadership principles you stand for will help you create lasting happiness for yourself.
And if you’re like me and absolutely do not identify as a teacher, this episode is still for you. I’m going to show you non-traditional approaches to teaching that will create so much meaning and purpose in your career.
Let’s get started.
Want to receive the recognition you deserve, step into a higher leadership position, get paid for your ideas instead of the hours you put in at work, and enjoy more time, freedom, energy, and joy? Then you need to get your hands on a copy of Promotions Made Easy. Get your copy here.
