Episode 93: Is There A Wrong Reason to Stay At Work
Creating Our Own Reasons For The Work We Do And The Work We Leave Behind
Have you been wrestling with the question of whether to stay at your job or pursue something else?
If you have, you’re not alone. Our clients sometimes come to coaching sessions with a similar challenge and they ask questions like, “Is this the wrong reason to stay?” or “Is that a good enough reason to leave?” And these questions are totally understandable. The story we’ve often been sold by society is that there are right and wrong reasons to stay or leave a job.
But in today’s episode, we’re exploring whether this right-wrong binary choice is actually a reality.
In Our Conversation Today We’re Exploring:
How societal messages might be at play when we think about staying or leaving a job
Where comparison might show up when we evaluate our job options
How to decide if our work is truly serving us and why that matters as we decide to stay or go
What questions to ask ourselves and the practical next steps we can take as we make job decisions
Here’s a preview of what we discussed in episode 93
The “Right” Reasons For Sticking With (Or Leaving) Our Job
Skipping The “Right Or Wrong” Binary To Create Our Own Criteria
Deciding If Our Work Is Serving Us
Comparing Our Decisions and The Fundamental Attribution Error
