One Small but Powerful Tip to Stop Feeling Stuck at Work

Feeling stuck when resolving conflict is one of the biggest issues that most of us face. feeling stuck
Recognizing the fact that you’re feeling stuck is #1. Now how in the world to resolve this conflict?

The next few blog posts cover actual case scenarios shared by colleagues or clients such as:

  • Micromanagers
  • Bullies
  • Not feeling heard
  • Inner stress of Human Resource Professionals
  • Imposter Syndrome (Am I good enough?)

This week’s topic is what to do when you’re feeling stuck in a job or career.

Asking “What Else” when You’re Feeling Stuck

This case scenario is something that I experienced a couple of years ago. Hey, those of you who know of my work realize that I’m as real as they come. You hear of my own challenges and how I resolve them because it’s important to me to relate with others as a human being! 😊

I was working with a coach, and I told her that I wanted to find an entirely new client base since I was transitioning from keynote speaking to honing my coaching skills.

My issue was that all the social networking posts didn’t work. Additionally, no one commented and I knew that I needed to do something new.

The coach asked me, “Joyce what do you need to do?” I said, “make my emails stronger”. She asked, “what else?”
She kept on asking me “what else” for about 30 minutes.

The answer appeared when I realized that I needed to start sharing all the services that I offer as a communication and conflict resolution coach. None of us want to be the best-kept secret, right?

This was huge for me. I was giving solid content. And, readers didn’t really know how I could help them.

I stopped feeling stuck and I’m now sharing solid content plus sprinkling in my services.

What About You? What Do You Need to Do to Stop Feeling Stuck?

Career Development Tips: Be Your Own Best Advocate |Video

Are you ready to discover career development tips to use for yourself or your direct reports?

Certified Professional Coach, Lori Shook presented the ideas I’m sharing in this video to the World of Business and Executive Coaching Summit.

So how can you help yourself or your direct reports discover how to be their own best advocate?
Here’s a possible strategy:  Discover their internal inner board of directors.

I have used the exercise with coaching clients and the results are stellar.

Human Resource clients consider me their partner: especially when they have no time to coach:

  • Emerging leaders to grow
  • Employees who need to use their voice without losing their cool
  • Managers who need to control difficult team members

The video below gives you ideas to get you started with this unique exercise. 

Here are EASY career development tips to help you identify your internal board of directors

I call this our internal wisdom.

We all have internal voices or characters that influence our behaviors. When we name them, we will be able to use them as resources.

There are NO good or bad board members. Some will be more useful than others at different times.

Here are several of the inner boards that my clients discovered:

  • The energizer
  • Frankenstein
  • Am I good enough?
  • Risk-averse
  • Cheerleader
  • Enjoy the journey
  • Leader
  • Controller

Start by asking these questions to add to your career development tips toolbox: 

  • What is an inner voice that you really trust?
  • Which inner characters help you succeed?
  • What are the inner impulses that get in your way in important situations?

Define your board of directors and give them a name

  • Which of your inner board will help you/hurt you/stop you?
  • Invite the board members you want to use more often
  • Find ways to manage the uninvited ones
  • Take ownership of your behaviors

Look for my video next week which will cover more ideas on your Inner Board.

An Inspirational Quote to Start the New Year

inspirational quote

An Inspirational Quote to Start the New Year 

I saved this quote for the beginning of the year because it’s reflection time. inspirational quote | live the life you deserve

As a result of writing this post, I thought about my own answers to the questions that I ask you at the bottom of the page.

  • 2021 was the year of learning many video strategies to make them better for social media. Editing on Camtasia is now easy {it’s a learning process :)}.
  • Online classes were abundant in my life to create new ideas and challenge my brain.  There were so many options to select from and I’m prioritizing which ones will be the best projects to implement.
  • 2022 is the year to start numerous projects.  
  • You will see the relaunch of my live online 6-weeks course: Kick Conflict to the Curb. 
  • There will be Executive Round Tables to brainstorm conflicts shared by like-minded leaders.
  • The 3rd program is a 3-month group coaching and mastermind program.

It took me 2 years to plan all of these projects. No more spending money on learning for now. It’s action time.

How Does the Inspirational Quote Impact YOU?

  • What did you learn from 2021?
  • How will you change as a result of what you learned and reflected?
  • What do you hope will happen in 2022 with these new opportunities?

Happy New Year to you and your family. There’s a lot of hope for 2022. I vote to concentrate on the possibilities while staying safe.

Are We Biased “Thinking that We Know” Our Blind Spots? A Funny Story

The Importance of Knowing Our Blind Spots blind spots

Science has proven that we all have a blind spot bias and that many of us aren’t aware of this. Of course, this has negative consequences. Because at times we don’t listen to the feedback from others when they share their opinion about our blind spots. We are certain that we know our story – no blind spots.

Blind Spots are 2 words that coaches love using. It’s an important aspect to uncover blind spots for clients and ourselves too!

The Johari Window is a coaching tool that is still powerful today. Part of the Johari Window is knowing your blind spots. It’s so much fun when we get together in small teams and do this exercise. People are shocked that they didn’t see their own blind spot until a team member pointed it out in the exercise.  There are some people who deny them. That’s another blog post, I’m sure.

The story below happened at a restaurant when I was dining with friends. We were talking with our waiter, Claud, and the story’s conclusion was better than a dark chocolate dessert!

Here we go with another TRUE story.

Story:  Knowing Our Blind Spots blind spots

I gave my waiter, Claud a compliment stating that our friends enjoyed having him serve us. He thanked us and added some details to the complement. This is what he said, “Thanks. I’m training the new waiter because he stays at the customer’s table way too long. And gives guests so many details about his background in the food industry. I’ve told him that there is a fine line in being friendly and overbearing.”

Claud’s comments made sense. Until – he came back and spent 10 minutes talking to us about his resume. Are you ready for more? He brought over a chair and decided to join us while he was talking.

You may think that this is a nice moment in fine dining.

Claud had a blind spot. No, I didn’t point it out to him. He didn’t see that his actions were exactly what he was training the new waiter not to do.

Lesson About Knowing Our Blind Spots

We all have a bias about our blind spots. The lucky people who are in deep and trusting relationships or who learn from a coach benefit from this feedback.  Because they understand the importance of going deep and discovering blind spots.

Claud just told us about his mentee and how he was training him. Claud didn’t see the irony of his story.

We have to admit to ourselves that our reality is only one of the many realities that exist.

It’s important to be open to others who are brave enough to share their opinions. This may be a golden opportunity for your professional or personal growth.
