Episode Synopsis

Cindy Esliger discusses expectations: how to balance meeting the expectations of others with our expectations for ourselves. We need to meet the goals set out by employers and clients but also need to be mindful of our own needs and sense of well-being. How do we navigate this? The first step in managing expectations is being clear about what is expected of us. Then we need to ensure we are not settling for low expectations or ones that are too high. Cindy details the types of expectations we can anticipate in our daily lives and how to define their relative importance.When we understand the expectations of others and our own expectations for ourselves, how do we balance them all? Cindy has three actionable tips for managing them: 1. Set realistic expectations, 2. Communicate clearly, and 3. Follow through on commitments. Cindy acknowledges that meeting and exceeding professional expectations is key to building trust and getting recognition, but guides us through keeping our own boundaries and wellness in mind as we meet those expectations. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Managing ExpectationsAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
