Listen "Value"
Episode Synopsis
Look up right now and you’ll likely find some reinforcement of the message that what makes you valuable in your professional life is the number of hours you put in. Or the number of tasks you check off your list.
Many of us are taught early in our careers that these are the things that determine our value. Which can create a never-ending chase toward longer hours and more tasks in order to offer greater value.
This is a hamster wheel. Today, we’re talking about what really determines the value we offer, and the myriad benefits of shifting our definition.
Thanks for listening.
