Listen "005 - Bob Paden - Comfortable and Confident in your Occupation"
Episode Synopsis
Ikigai, Flow, comfortable and confident. Occupational Wellness may be hard to define, but Bob says "you'll know it when you feel it." We've all felt what it's like when you're NOT feeling your job. But how can we tell when we're "occupationally sick" before we get "sick of it" and do something we regret?Bob Paden has 25+ years of being a "corporate weenie," and several more being a "corporate refugee" (his terms). And what does that experience lead to? Daily conversations with business owners that just aren't "in the zone" with their work. Listen in as Bob gives us insights on what his thousands of conversations has helped him understand about finding your calling in your career.Timestamps: Bob Paden, the Humble and Hungry Growth Coach - 00:01:00 Occupational Wellness - Are you comfortable & confident? - 00:04:30 "Kids these days don't want to work"....really? - 00:06:44 The world Bob's clients live in - 00:08:08 Are you focused on the wrong things? - 00:12:34 "Workaholic" is a sign of sickness....IF - 00:15:00 The list of Sickness - 00:24:16 How Occupational Sickness is killing 5+ dimensions of wellness - 00:26:24 Ikigai - Japanese reason for being - 00:33:18 Flow is (arguably) the optimal state for work and life - 00:35:35 "Are you prepared to tell your wife...there's no money?"- 00:39:17 You're Occupationally fit if.... - 00:41:49 Not a business owner?
