Millennial Crisis

This week I chat with teacher, entrepreneur and 2x Tedx Speaker Mike Yates. We all know there are flaws in the education system, this chat is super special as Mike is actually taking steps to fix them and empowering others to do the same. 

This weeks challenge is one of my favourites, be sure to let myself & Mike know how you went.

This we talk all things shiny object syndrome, the disease of distraction that in my opinion is a Millennial trait and right of passage. Given the amount of information and opportunity a lot of us have, this can be difficult to overcome - I know right...poor us, so much opportunity what do we choose. 

To chat more about Shiny Object Syndrom your thoughts & how to overcome it join us on Slack or FB community here.

This week is a little different, I chatted about a Millennial topic that is super important. Although it's not directly linked to career progression it affects a lot of Millennial women both in & out of the workplace. 

There are lessons to be learnt in this episode that can help you progress.

In episode 1 I spoke a lot about the idea of taking an intentional Gap Year and feeling as though it was all too late... 

A few months ago, I came to the decision to quit what some would consider a "dream job" and travel the world. In this episode, I talk about what gave me the courage to get to this point & how you can adopt this method to your own life!

This week I chat with Ryan Cheng. Ryan has been featured in HuffPost, worked with the United Nations and became Head of Content at Deakin University at the age of 24... despite all of these achievements Ryan is still unclear on what is in store for his future or what he wants to do. 

Turns out, none of us REALLY know what we are doing..all the time.

This week we break down our working "why", contrary to what I thought in the past, our careers may not need to give us a sense of fulfilling purpose. They can fill alternative needs in our lives, sometimes the "purpose" of working is to make money. 

I break down the 5 reasons I believe people work, once you understand your working why, you can consider what your  "unthinkable ask" is. 

E.g. Pay rise, remote working flexibility, a cooler office space...

Millennials shy away from in-person confrontation but can thrive on leaving their thoughts online, in today's episode we talk about Demi's experience having difficult but necessary conversations in the workplace & how it helped her propel her career forward. 

 

"Everyone is too busy with their own shit to notice you're unhappy - nobody is a mind reader, the sign of being an adult is having the ability to have DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS"
