Double Trouble: Two Career Coaches Help You Winning the Corporate Job Search Game Pt. 2

Monday, May 20, 2024 • Duration 28:33

In part two of this special episode, Tessa talks with That Career Coach, Kendall Berg. Kendall shares her tips on networking and brand building.

Human connection is a core pillar of a happy and meaningful life. While work plays a vital role, it shouldn't come at the expense of the relationships that support us, inspire us, and give our lives lasting value.

Work Accomplishments Fade: Projects are completed, goals are reached, and promotions are earned – yet their effect on our lives can diminish over time.

Relationships Endure: Strong relationships with family, friends, and colleagues provide lasting support, joy, and a sense of belonging that often outlasts the immediate impact of any single work achievement.

Kendall and Tessa discuss how to be a good manager and how to make the challenging leap from manager to director.

They also discuss mental load and how it differs from workload.

Workload

Focus: Quantifiable tasks and their associated time or effort to complete.
Tangible: Visible and easily measured.
Examples:
- Answering 50 emails in an hour.
- Filing a specific number of reports.
- Building a piece of furniture.

Mental Load

Focus: The thought processes involved in managing tasks, responsibilities, and decision-making.
Intangible: Not directly visible or easily measured.
Examples:
- Remembering to buy milk on the way home and deciding which brand to get.
- Planning a birthday party (guest lists, invites, food, activities).
- Keeping track of everyone's schedules and appointments in a family.

Key Differences

Visibility: Workload is visible; mental load is invisible.
Measurement: Workload is easier to quantify; mental load is more subjective.
Scope: Workload often pertains to job-related tasks; mental load encompasses all areas of life, including work, home, and relationships.

Why This Distinction Matters

Double Trouble: Two Career Coaches Help You Winning the Corporate Job Search Game Pt. 1

Monday, May 13, 2024 • Duration 25:03

In part one of this special episode, Tessa talks with fellow career coach, Kendall Berg, of That Career Coach. Kendall has years of experience in the corporate world with a background rooted in technology complementing Tessa’s background in HR. Together they offer valuable perspectives on today’s corporate landscape. In this episode, Kendall interviews Tessa. They discuss the “games” played in the corporate world and what happens behind closed doors. In a cancel culture, learning to have crucial conversations may change the course of your career.

1. Office Politics

Focus: Navigating power dynamics, building alliances, and managing interpersonal relationships to advance one's agenda (positive or negative).
Examples:
- Spreading rumors or subtly undermining colleagues
- Taking undue credit for the work of others.
- Forming exclusive cliques to gain influence.
- Gossiping and backstabbing.

2. The Blame Game

Focus: Avoiding responsibility for errors and shifting fault to others.
Examples:
- Refusing to acknowledge mistakes and covering them up.
- Making excuses or pointing fingers at other team members.
- Creating a culture of fear, limiting open communication and problem-solving.

3. The Appearance Game

Focus: Prioritizing image and perception over actual productivity or substance.
Examples:
- Spending excessive time on presentations and formatting instead of focusing on content.
- Attending unnecessary meetings to appear busy and engaged.
- Prioritizing self-promotion over meaningful contributions.

4. Strategy Games (These can be beneficial or harmful)

Focus: Navigating power structures, competition, and negotiation tactics to achieve objectives. This can be healthy and necessary in business.
Examples:
- Carefully crafting persuasive arguments to win support for projects.
- Anticipating the moves of competitors or internal rivals.
