Are our fantasies our actual goals or do they represent something deeper?

Whether it’s drooling over #vanlife renovations on Instagram, or daydreaming of reading a book in our private library while overlooking a picturesque garden, or being jealous of the CEO on the cover an industry-leading magazine, we all have fantasies about the life or things we wish could have.

Sometimes those fantasies grow from a want to what feels like a need. But, does that mean we should burn it all down and chase after those daydreams?

In this episode, we explore the idea of what our daydreams and fantasies are really telling us, how we can gain clarity around them, and whether or not we should try to make them a reality.

While it can feel like additional self-inflicted punishment during hard times, guilt can be clarifying, a reminder of our values, or where we’ve been inconsistent. What might guilt be protecting us from? We offer insights to help decipher the difference between guilt and discomfort and choose the next right step that’s best for us and those we work with.

We open today’s show by sharing what’s exciting us right now including the Bad Sisters series, baseball playoffs, and new music from a host of bands including Blink 182, Marcus Mumford, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We even connect The Peppers back to The Good Place.

Listen in and join the discussion about the guilt we experience at work on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

This week we’re continuing our conversation about building a better relationship with work.

This episode takes a closer look at the journey of accountability to self; the tough love of knowing what you need and insisting upon getting it.

Listen to this exploration of the roles of self-worth, accountability, and self-honoring in our relationship with our work.

We’d love to hear from you.

Today on the podcast we explore how to build a better relationship with work and how our inside work can give us the perspective, accountability, and permission to make that relationship even better.

We kick things off by discussing the various types of “metric tons” we can use as yardsticks for measuring our experience of work before moving into the core of our conversation: Our relationship with work.  We also discuss whether leaving one situation to go to another situation is really the way to improve the way we relate to our work.

Use the questions we provide to assess the health of your relationship by understanding what you need from a healthy relationship with work, and use yourself as a barometer to measure whether you are able to be your fullest self in the relationship you currently have with work.

We’d love to hear from you.

Are you missing the opportunities a great question can bring?

A good question not only unlocks potential in your team, fuels innovation, and builds relationships, but asking better questions can actually get us out of an unproductive loop.

What happens when we feel we’re checking all the “good question” boxes but aren’t getting where we want to go?

At the heart of our discussion is the purpose of a great question and how great questions help new things come to light, shine that light on the factors that could create (or are creating) discomfort, foster curiosity, and expand our awareness. We also share the dangers of basing a question on a set of assumptions and how that can limit us.

We’d love to hear from you.

After so many years of hearing it’s okay not to be okay, we’re talking about how it can be okay to be okay.

This idea can be challenging because it flies in the face of what we often hear about self-improvement or career growth as constant pursuits.

We also share insight from Matthew McConaughey's Oscar acceptance speech for Dallas Buyers Club and how the dark side of constantly chasing a better version of ourselves is that, if we’re not careful, we could miss those seasons of life where we’re truly living in flow.

We’d love to hear from you.

Today we explore the experience of feeling jaded at work.

We open with a discussion of school supplies including Eric’s Tottenham Hotspur pencil case and Nayla's current, jaded feeling toward selecting the just-right writing utensils. We move on to the main topic with a discussion of how feeling jaded illuminates things for us even as it gets in our way.  We also explore ways we can change the pattern if we want to do so.

We’d love to hear from you.

Today we’re exploring the trade-offs we make at work and over the course of our careers, how we think about potential gains and losses, and the inside job to shift the stories we tell ourselves about our decisions.

We open today’s show talking about the daily life trade-off between eating at the kitchen table and eating over the sink — the classic etiquette vs. efficiency debate. (This includes that Kung Fu Panda, “Don’t Tell Monkey” moment when someone catches us!)

Then, we move on to address a listener question that gets to the heart of the tradeoffs we make in our work and our lives.  From The Good Place to Almost Famous, we share touchpoints that help us examine these gains or losses more deeply.  The inside job here is to pay attention to what can be gained as much as what can be lost, to acknowledge the complexity of the things we believe are important, to examine the stories we may be telling ourselves, and to be honest about whether “the market” will truly care either way.
