After almost 12 years at Amazon, I've seen countless brilliant and successful overachievers burn out and leave their jobs because of stress and anxiety. But here's the good news: having a successful career doesn't have to come at the expense of your mental sanity and personal time. There's an easier way, and I can show you how. Let's dive in! Celebrating 200 Episodes! We're celebrating our 200th episode today! Thank you for being here and for all your support. Over the years, I've coached thousands of people and noticed recurring themes that we all struggle with, both in our careers and personal lives. Today, I want to talk about one of the most common issues: figuring out what to do when you're not motivated and fulfilled by your job anymore. It's important to understand that it's not your job's job to make you feel motivated and fulfilled. That responsibility falls on us. We need challenges, a sense of purpose, and the feeling that what we do matters. But how do we achieve that? Think of your job as if it were a person you're in a relationship with. How would you describe your relationship? Are you in the honeymoon phase, a healthy routine, or do you need couples counseling? How do you talk about your job when it's not around? Are you investing in this relationship? Your job responds to how you treat it. If you're bored or stressed, it will reflect that. Decide what kind of relationship you want with your job and take steps to make it happen. If you need help, I'm here for you. Go to lindsaylymancoaching.com/chat and sign up for a coffee chat.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Lindsay Lyman, a seasoned coach and former Amazon employee with nearly 12 years of experience, shares a high-level framework to help you get promoted even if you have a bad manager. She dives into the most common barrier people face when pursuing a promotion—the dreaded initial conversation with their manager. Lindsay provides actionable steps to navigate this challenging discussion, ensuring you can present your case effectively and respectfully, making it difficult for your manager to say no. Key Takeaways: • Common Barriers: The primary reason people hesitate to pursue promotions is the fear of having a vulnerable conversation with a potentially unsupportive manager. • Avoid Yes/No Questions: When discussing promotions or any significant changes, avoid yes/no questions to prevent an easy rejection. Instead, focus on open-ended questions that invite conversation and collaboration. • Start the Conversation Right: Begin by asking if your manager is open to discussing a possible path for promotion, setting a clear goal, and acknowledging any potential awkwardness upfront. • Stay Curious and Confused: To avoid frustration and defensiveness, stay in a mindset of curiosity or confusion. This keeps you and your manager on the same side, working together towards a solution. • Prepare with a Script: Lindsay has created a helpful cheat sheet that provides a script tailored to your situation, making it easier to present your case confidently and clearly. Actionable Steps: 1 Download the Cheat Sheet: Get your free copy at lindsaylymancoaching.com/ask to help you prepare for your promotion conversation. 2 Set Up the Meeting: Ask your manager if they are open to discussing your promotion, setting the stage for a constructive dialogue. 3 Frame the Discussion: Focus on the path to promotion and the specific areas you need to improve, rather than immediately asking for a yes or no answer. 4 Maintain Curiosity: Approach the conversation with genuine curiosity and an open mind to stay aligned with your manager, avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Building Trust with Yourself This episode builds on the idea that trust is built through transparency, empathy, and consistency. Here, Lindsay Lyman dives deeper into how to apply these concepts to trusting yourself. Key Points: Transparency: Be honest with yourself about your goals, challenges, and emotions. Don't sugarcoat your reality. Empathy: Understand why you're feeling a certain way. Acknowledge your emotions without judgment. Consistency: Show up for yourself by following through on commitments, taking care of yourself, and setting boundaries (saying no). Examples: Transparency: Recognizing limitations and prioritizing tasks accordingly, instead of feeling pressured to achieve unrealistic health goals right now. Empathy: Acknowledging feelings of disappointment or frustration after a failed launch instead of suppressing them. Consistency: Regularly scheduling self-care activities like walks, even when you don't feel like it, because you know the benefits. Call to Action: Reflect on your own level of transparency, empathy, and consistency with yourself. Consider areas where you can improve your self-trust by incorporating these practices.

This episode dives into the foundational principle of trust and how it's crucial for successful teamwork. Key Points: Trust is the most important leadership principle: Without trust, other leadership principles fall apart. It allows teams to function effectively and individuals to feel safe and perform at their best. The Three Elements of Trust: Transparency: Being open and honest in communication. Avoiding surprises and keeping people informed. Sharing what's appropriate, not oversharing or gossiping. Example: During return to office, many companies lacked transparency about their true motives. Empathy: Understanding and sharing the feelings of others. Acknowledging and validating how people respond to situations. Example: Leaders who lacked empathy during the work-from-home transition struggled to build trust. Consistency: Showing up reliably and predictably. Being someone people can count on, even on bad days. Example: An unpredictable leader creates confusion and makes it hard to trust them. Actionable Takeaways: Reflect on which element of trust (transparency, empathy, consistency) you might be weakest at. Identify areas where you can improve your trustworthiness within your team.
