Episode 96: Creating Your Own Professional Insurance Policy

There’s a fine line between developing professional safety by creating options and being so focused on pursuing that safety that we deplete ourselves in the process.

Today on the podcast we’re exploring what we call a professional insurance policy. Whether you’ve navigated an economic downturn, a layoff, or have memories of “safety school” applications from your high school years, we’ve all been programmed to seek professional safety in one way or another. But, in contrast to that programming, our conversation today is focused on how to create a sense of professional security from within yourself through both strategic action and mindset shifting.

In Our Conversation Today We’re Exploring:

  • Why we, understandably, feel the urge to create an “exit strategy” or sense of professional safety for ourselves and

  • The strategic, practical, and mindset-related steps we can take to create a professional insurance policy

  • Why creating a sense of professional security is an inside job and what questions we can ask to begin that process
