Whatever…

Have you ever paid attention to how you use the word “whatever”?

If you’re feeling beaten down by your career experiences, “whatever” might sounds like this:

Whatever you want, I don’t care.

It doesn't matter.

Someone has a great idea? Whatever, it probably won't become a reality.

Whether you’re feeling burned out by a bad boss, difficult teams, boring tasks, stress from uncertainty, or a grueling post-COVID job search…

It’s heavy stuff!

Because our careers are directly tied to our survival.

Not only do jobs provide paychecks to pay for our housing and whether we can eat well or not,

But our jobs also tell us who we belong to. Our circles. Our tribe.

We have a shared language with co-workers.

People in our industry know each other and share certain mental models.

You go to a meetup or a wedding and what is the first damn thing people ask? “What do you do?”

Our careers are literally part of our identity.

When my clients get started in Impact & Identity, they realize they’ve been feeling unfulfilled because they only have a sprinkle of their needs met.

Even if they make a boatload of money and live in a mansion, they are too numb or busy to build a home

Layoffs can happen anytime and they worry about how long it will take to get another job

They’re in the industry and doing the work, but they still feel like an outsider

Their “confidence” is a collection of pep talks, anxiety, and faking to make it

Is this all that employees can expect in life?

Hell fucking no!!

The truth is you can have a fulfilling career without giving up your sanity or salary.

The Impact & Identity program is designed to use whatever is going on in your job or job search as a catalyst for transformational career growth.

As your true needs in each category get fuller and fuller, you’ll gain

Non-anxious confidence (Keep the fake mask for Halloween)

Expressed authenticity and joy

The permission to have a vision and dream again

You’re probably thinking, “I thought you said Impact & Identity was a career program”.

It is.

So let’s go back to the word WHATEVER.

When you're done with the eight week program, the fundamental mindset shift is evident in small and large ways in your life.

After Impact & Identity the word “whatever” has an optimistic connotation.

It's literally “meh” to “yeah”!

Whatever (font, color, outline) you want to use is fine. Surprise me!

Oh, yeah, I get to choose whatever I say in this situation!

Whatever happens, I’m going to be fine.

What’s the real change? You know you’re in control of your life.

Give it a try! Spend the next week taking note of whenever the word “whatever” comes to mind.

I think you'll be surprised.

When you're ready to go from feeling

Numb

Overwhelmed

Fearful

Lost or out of control of your future

...to a sense of

agency

Possibility

Freedom

Purpose/vision
