In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

  • Examples of our clients unfairly calling themselves jerks that inspired this conversation

  • How to know when you’re controversial or unpopular sentiments are actually useful

  • What our hesitation to “be a jerk” might tell us about ourselves

  • How to reframe our jerk moments into something positive and productive for ourselves and those around us

“I don’t want to be a jerk, but …”

This is a phrase we’ve said both at work and in our personal lives. At this point, it’s become a default phrase in our vocabularies, and we’re guessing the same goes for you.

On the Inside Job podcast this week, we’re diving into why we call ourselves a jerk for doing things that really aren’t that bad, whether or not we’re actually being a jerk when we stand up for something or we represent an alternative point of view, and where our opportunity is to correct our behavior if we are truly being a jerk.
