Do you have a difficult boss? Or have you had one before?

A challenging relationship with your boss can lead to you questioning your career decisions or looking for a way out when you actually love your job and are really good at it.

It’s also one of the biggest challenges in the workplace that leads to burnout.

It’s not easy to be in the position of having a difficult boss whether it’s because they’re micromanaging, communicating poorly or highly critical and whilst you can’t control them or their behaviour there are things within your control that can make all the difference.

In this episode of The Aligned Achiever podcast we explore questions to ask yourself and actionable that my clients implement to navigate the complexities of working with a difficult boss whilst preserving your well-being and career trajectory.

Have you ever had a career goal?

Maybe it was to find another job at a different company, or to land a certain number of clients in your business.

With that clear goal, you’ve mapped out all the steps.

You’ve managed to execute on those steps, ticking off every item on your to-do list.

YET, you haven’t achieved that desired result….

Whether it be landing that new job or finding those paying clients coming to work with you.

Not all action is created equally.

In today’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to unpack why we can work towards a certain goal, taking all the “right” action and still find that things are not working.

Most of us want to earn great money doing work we love.

If you ask anyone if this is possible and how to do it, the answers will vary…

When I was back in Corporate, earning great money but feeling spiritually bankrupt, I wanted a magic pill to tell me what I should do.

Unfortunately after doing this work for 9 years, I know that it doesn’t work like that.

Getting clear on how you can do work you love and get paid for it is a bit like solving a puzzle.

There are core pieces that you need in order to create the puzzle that makes most sense for you.

Are you the caretaker? The nurturer? The person who makes sure everyone else is taken care of and feels loved and supported?

Today we’re exploring the burnout solution for compassionate high achiever’s.

As a giver you’re used to making sure that everyone else is OK and today I’VE got your back.

I want to make sure that YOU are taken care of, nourished and supported too.

Why?

Because you matter. And sometimes it’s the nurturers who forget to get some nurturing themselves 💛
