Think about something that happened recently that made you mad, that you knew you were right about. You were not only right, but then mistreated for being right, then misheard about your communication of the problem. About something that THEY have done before. You were right on top of right. They were 5 different kinds of wrong. Due to a giant cosmic injustice, being right doesn’t make us feel better, it makes us feel worse. Why? Doesn’t being right feel good? Don’t we get points on the cosmic scoreboard of life? It does only if our rightness is acknowledged, if the bearer of wrongness admits their complete responsibility and confirms our rightness and perfection. If they don’t admit to their inherent incompetence/ inferiority/ irresponsibility/ general submission to our clearly superior qualifications for world domination, then we begin building a case in our heads like the ones above, causing general physical discomfort like a knot in your gut or between your shoulder blades, or a headache. So, you may ask, what is the solution to this not very fun situation? How can we achieve happiness? I'll tell you in this episode. It may surprise you, and I promise you'll feel better.
We created this to help you become a Warrior at Work so that you get to fully live. Following the career and leadership coaching model of e9 Corporate Coaching created by Jennifer Balkcom, CPCC, ACC, MBTI, the Warriors at Work podcast delivers weekly reminders to live as your Warrior Self and work in your Warrior Purpose.
Warrior leadership is defined as: I have found my purpose in the world. I have learned how to bring my purpose to others. I am living my purpose, leaving nothing on the table, nothing untried, living my "someday" goals as "now".
Jennifer spent the last 20 years building and managing teams, staffed from entry level to top leaders, learning how to help them to fully engage. She consulted with executives and senior managers of startups & Fortune 500 companies. She lives her past leadership experience in coaching and advising her clients. She has over 700 hours of coaching & leadership training from top global trainers, and a master's in real estate finance from MIT.
