Have you ever thought “I’m stuck. What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is? Today’s guest, Satya Doyle Byock, hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with “Quarterlifers,” individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything “right”: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet, they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Satya sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. We’ll discuss her new approach to a quarterlife crisis, why it matters, and engage with Satya’s four pillars of Quarterlife development.

Why do some people break through and make an impact at work while others get stuck going through the motions? In every organization, there are Impact Players—those invaluable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities. Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team. While their impact is obvious, it’s not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. Today on the show we have Impact Players author and researcher, Liz Wiseman, here to explain what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why—with a little coaching—this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level.

It’s a daunting reality.
