EPISODE 285

Is this all there is?

Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
  • Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it’s the thing you should be doing. Often we are so focused on our excellence that we miss out opportunities to exercise our true genius.
  • If you’re wondering “is this really all there is?” The only person who can determine the answer to that question is you.
  • Don’t let your perception of the role of principal be narrowly defined by other people’s ideas. You can redefine the role to make the impact you want to make.
  • Often the work for which we are rewarded and the work that really makes a difference are two different things.
  • More of us would have a greater impact if we stopped letting others define our work for us. 

Have you ever thought about your job and wondered, “Is this really all there is?”If so, then today’s episode is for you. You see, the reason we can sometimes feel that way has to do with a myth we were all taught to believe about leadership.

Today, I’m going to expose that myth and show you how Builders find deep fulfillment in their work. Even if you are completely happy in your role, this episode will protect you from falling into the trap of excellence and help you remain happy and fulfilled in your work.

So whether you are currently fulfilled or if you secretly wonder whether this is all there is, today’s episode will help you anchor in the heart of the work #LikeABuilder. 

Check out these highlights:

  • The 2 biggest threats to our confidence in this work
  • The myth of the 6 B’s and how it shapes how we view our work.
  • Why we often get rewarded for things that aren’t rewarding.
  • Why excellence can be a trap that keeps us locked in the wrong role. 
  • How Builders are able to find deep fulfillment in their work.
