The Highly Valued Leader Podcast (Mel Savage)

Welcome to the first episode! 

In this inaugural episode, we'll get really clear on what it means to have a 'have-to-job' vs. a 'want-to-career'.

Everyone wants a career they love, but have you ever really thought about the elements that contribute to creating that want-to dream job?  Most people think it's all about the role itself, but the fact is it's about way more than that.

In this episode, I'll walk through the EIGHT Cornerstone Categories of what makes up that want-to career that gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning. And I'll give you a free tool to help you figure it out for yourself!

Access the free tool in the show notes @ thecareerreset.com/01

If you’re sticking it out in a job you don’t love then this episode is for you.

Most people believe that sticking it out in a Have-To-Job is the responsible thing to do.  They can handle it.  It’s not a big deal.  But the truth is that the cost is much higher than you think, and the return is much lower.

So in this episode, I’m walking through the 4 stages of breaking up with your Have-To-Job so that 1) you know what's coming, 2) you can assess where you are, and 3) you can PROACTIVELY decide what you want to do about it.

Once you listen to the podcast, head over to the show note comments @ thecareerreset.com/02 and share which stage you’re in and what you want to do about it.

Is a bad boss making your job a misery?  As the saying goes, 'People don’t quit a job, they quit a boss.' According to Gallup, 75% of the reasons people quit come down to their managers.

So if you have a bad boss, you would not be alone in thinking your only option is to find another job.

But the truth is, of those 75% of people, many of them left because they weren’t capable of handling the situation. So they ran away from it. Cue my own guilty admission – I did the same.

But there is a more effective way to manage a bad boss, and not let it get in the way of a job you (otherwise) love.

Learning to deal with a bad boss is a SUPERPOWER everyone needs.

This pandemic has put a spotlight on many opportunities to fix problems and improve processes across many industries and services

One thing that I’ve noticed is that people had a rough time dealing with the ongoing changing circumstances.  People got stressed out, depressed, over-ate, over- drank, over-Netlfixed, among other things.  They got angry and scared.  

And then some people totally rose to the occasion.

The difference in how people are handling this crisis based on how they are thinking.  The reason we do anything is because of what we think about it.  

And that’s why this episode is all about how true performance improvement is based on our ability to manage our thinking.  It’s about using the health of your mind to be actively aware of how your thinking is creating your emotions and behaviours in order to drive your results.

Behavioural management is a by-product of thought management.

Teaching ourselves and our employees to improve their performance by being aware of their thinking is the future of performance development. 

If you want to change your results, you must learn to actively change your mind.

We have beliefs about making money that hold us back. These beliefs actually block us from making all the money we can. It feels like money has all this power.

But the truth is money has no power at all. The only thing that has power is how you think about money. And your ability to make money is directly aligned with your thoughts and your relationship with money.

In this episode about making money, we put the power of money in perspective and review the top three beliefs about money that hold people back from having more of it.

The minute we get a boss, we think that it’s their job to have all the answers and never, ever make a mistake.  And when they do make a mistake, we think it automatically means they’re a bad boss. Or at least, not a good one.

But the truth is, your boss is a human being just like you.  And a lot of the time, the reason you having a difficult experience dealing with your boss is because of some thought errors or false expectations you have about your boss.

In this episode, I’m talking about how being a boss doesn’t automatically mean your boss knows how to be a good leader.  We’ll talk about why that is, and how you can leverage that knowledge to improve the experience you’re having with your boss.

This is one of 5 insights I share in the FREE Masterclass | Turn Your Bad Boss Into Your Best Boss.  You can sign up for that class here.

Imposter Syndrome is a common experience in many people's careers, but this episode reframes it as a lie generated by the brain. 

The podcast explores why Imposter Syndrome doesn't necessarily have to be a negative force, and how to view it as a sign of your brain functioning properly.

This episode is for both the perfectionists who know they’re perfectionists and the folks who don’t know they’re perfectionists.

So it’s basically for all human beings. Because perfectionism shows up in so many ways.  This isn’t just for those people who try to make their work perfect or get upset when there’s a hair out of place. It’s for anyone who has a goal that they just can’t seem to achieve.  It’s for anyone who lets fear of failure stop them from taking action. 

If that’s you, you may be dealing with the perfectionist myth without even knowing about it, and it could be getting in the way of your career potential.

In this episode, we’re talking about something I call drama dependency.  I made up this terminology, but it’s based on real cognitive-behavioural principles. 

I love the way it sounds … drama dependency… it sounds so dramatic just saying it.  So meta. That’s why it’s so perfect.

It’s exactly as it sounds - we get dependent on our own drama.  We get unconsciously dependent on something at work being a problem so that we can avoid a bigger problem (usually of our own making). 

And you know this is a real thing because you know those people who are like that.  Everything is an issue.  Nothing can be solved.  Or they’ve been complaining about the same thing for years and don’t do anything about it.

You probably have someone like that on your team.  We totally notice it in other people… but as always, you completely miss when you’re doing it.  

So let’s explore if you are creating and depending on your own drama.  We’re going to talk about why we get drama dependent, how to recognize the signs, and how to start practicing being drama free.

The concept of "Success Intolerance" is explored in this episode as a mindset challenge that involves the brain's resistance to pursuing success due to discomfort.

The episode defines and discusses this phenomenon, offers insights on recognizing its presence in a work context, and provides strategies for effectively addressing and overcoming it.

In this episode, a simple formula for career success is introduced, emphasizing the role of individual mindset and emotions in achieving professional goals. The concept of "Success Intolerance" is revisited, highlighting how self-generated stress, fear, and negativity can hinder progress. 

The podcast underscores the importance of managing mindset and coaching to overcome these barriers. 

In this episode, I’m going to give you my favourite emotion for helping get maximum traction in your career success and give you my mathematical equation to help get there.

The dilemma "I think I want to change careers" is one I encounter frequently.

Usually, people struggle with that back and forth for a while. And if that’s you, then you absolutely need to listen to this episode.

How do you know if it’s time to change careers? How do you know it’s not just a phase or a quick or easy way out of a bad situation? 

Let's cut to the chase: swapping careers isn't a walk in the park. It's no quick-fix solution, and it definitely won't come easy. So, before you take the plunge, you better be certain. Here’s what I DON’T recommend you do:

- Don't jump at the first neat idea.
- Don't quit and figure it out later.
- Don't make any sudden moves if you’re feeling fed-up, exhausted, and angry.

I’m not saying you can’t figure it out, but why make success harder than it has to be?

WARNING… what I’m going to suggest you do isn’t sexy or a quick fix. This work is going to take some effort from you.  But I’m telling you if you put this effort in upfront, you’ll have a much easier time in the back end.

And by the way - if you’re looking for a sexy quick fix to change careers, it’s probably a sign you're seeking change for the wrong reasons.

Dive into a thought-provoking concept I've coined as "Career Impotence." It might raise eyebrows, but sometimes a little jolt is essential to recognize what's right before us.

Impotence, synonymous with the inability to take effective action, becomes "Career Impotence" when it stifles progress in your professional journey. We're exploring the perils of this phenomenon, understanding its origins, and unveiling strategies to reignite your professional spark. I

It's astonishing how many people have a career plan but hardly put it to use – seldom following, reviewing, or even glancing at it throughout the year. 

It's a squandered opportunity, akin to ignoring the lowest-hanging fruit. Yet, simply telling you this won't likely spur action; we tend to evade beneficial tasks. It's a quirk of our brain's design. Instead, let's focus on what's slipping through your fingers by neglecting your career plan. 

What do you forfeit by not investing just 15-20 minutes daily in it? Join me in the latest episode of The Career Reset Podcast, where I'm delivering five compelling reasons to prioritize your career plan in 2021, along with the missed opportunities you'll regret if you don't seize the reins.

Goals are born from visions of success, yet as the year turns, we're poised to start anew, leaving past failures behind. 

We set fresh goals with fervor, but here's the catch – most folks abandon these aspirations within a mere month. What divides the dreamers from the achievers? A pivotal aspect is acknowledging the hefty workload involved. 

Success necessitates unwavering focus, dedication, and the taxing task of managing your mind along the journey. To lend a hand, I'm exposing the primary reason goal dreamers falter, so you can sidestep these pitfalls. 

However, the ace up the achiever's sleeve is their attitude. Their triumph lies in their perspective towards the goal, with thoughts that steer their actions. 

Tune in to uncover the top four thoughts that empower successful individuals to persevere until they triumph over their goals in this episode.

While some believe a career plan is unnecessary, relying solely on excelling at your job, it's crucial to recognize that your job and your career are distinct entities. 

Your job is merely one facet of your career plan; there are at least five additional strategies to contemplate if you're truly invested in manifesting your career aspirations. While some of these strategies might intersect with your job, purposefully handling them can expedite your career progression and unlock the success you rightfully deserve. 

The beauty? You need not devote more time if you're unwilling. Intriguing, isn't it? This isn't just about "working smart" to fulfill your job requirements; it's about crafting a meticulously planned career journey that defines working smart for your personal triumph.

Many individuals find themselves grappling with the elusiveness of desired career outcomes, be it improving boss relations, securing a new title, conquering a project, or honing fresh leadership skills. Striving for novel career results often unfurls an array of dissonant emotions like self-criticism, frustration, evasion, and anxiety – hardly a thrilling prospect, is it?

Contrary to a carefree escapade, the pursuit of goals can resemble a turbulent rollercoaster ride that churns your stomach. The truth? Most goals don't come with a joyride. It's more akin to a stomach-churning rollercoaster. Knowing that emotional turmoil is part of the price, what's your approach? 

This episode unravels the quintessential solution to attaining your coveted career results – a seemingly simple yet challenging endeavor. 

Prepare for an exploration of not just what needs to be done, but how to navigate these waters. If you share my penchant for stubbornness, this podcast is sure to strike a chord.

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves: discomfort is the currency of your success. 

Let's cut to the chase because being aware of the price isn't sufficient; you need the know-how to make those discomfort payments. I won't sugarcoat it—this isn't a walk in the park. The concept sounds simpler than it plays out. Your primal brain resists discomfort fervently, wired to shield you from it. But guess what? You, the high-achiever, needn't relinquish the wheel to your survival instincts. 

Tune in as I arm you with insights into the flavors of discomfort – the ones that fortify your success versus those that derail it. Not all discomfort is created equal. 

Additionally, I'll divulge the daily ritual that equips me to identify discomfort's territories. With this tool in your arsenal, you can channel your time and energy astutely, accelerating your journey toward success.

Work relationships are as important to your career success as any achievement on the job.  You know it’s true.  You’ve seen the people who aren’t so great at the job but nail the relationship part. Yet so many people let the work relationships go or don’t make time for them.
