Chief Change Officer

🎥 If your life were a movie, what would the title be? I hadn’t thought about this until I interviewed Chris Hare on my show. He introduced me to an insightful exercise called ‘Movie Theatre.’ 🎬 To me, it highlights the power of foresight. ‘I have people visualize that the movie playing isn’t a blockbuster—it’s their own life and career. What would you call that movie?’ Chris shared. How does this exercise work, and how can it help you uncover your career story and shape your future in the most authentic and sustainable way? 👇 Join us for the third chapter of Chris’s series.

Taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's key for emotional intelligence. Try these 6 self-care routines and let me know how it goes: 1. 🚶♀️ Walk and talk meditations • Schedule 30-minute daily walks • Choose one topic to discuss deeply • Record insights on your phone after 2. 🍽️ Practice mindful eating • Eat without screens or distractions • Take three deep breaths before meals • Chew each bite 20 times 3. 🎯 Do one thing at a time • Close unnecessary browser tabs • Set 25-minute focused work blocks • Take 5-minute breaks between tasks 4. 📵 Get a second 'zen phone' • Keep only basic apps (calls, texts, maps) • Store main phone away during work hours • Check social media only at set times 5. 🤲 Practice loving kindness • Send good wishes to someone new each day • Take 5 minutes to meditate on others' happiness • Write one kind note weekly to someone unexpected 6. 🌿 Embrace impermanence • Start each day with "this too shall pass" • Release one possession weekly • Journal about changes you're grateful for These routines seem small, but they've had a big impact I'm more productive, balanced, and happier.

🤐 Storytelling is an overused term. Everyone calls themselves a storyteller. That’s why I decided to interview Chris Hare, a strategic narrative advisor and coach who works with companies like Amazon and Microsoft, guiding leaders and executives through his approach, Atomic Storytelling. His method? Breaking down complex stories into their core, resonant elements. 💠 Why Chris? Not just because we have mutual connections like Mary Shea, PhD and Waverly Deutsch, but because he brings both professional depth and personal realness. With a unique ability to see through his clients and himself, Chris uncovers the essence of what truly matters—to the subject and the listener. 👉 In this three-part series, we dive deep. From his expertise in shaping compelling corporate stories to exploring the nuanced relationship between story and narrative, from the best and worst stories he’s encountered to opening up about his own mental health journey, this conversation goes beyond the surface. He even shares powerful, self-administered exercises—and I’ll share my experience using one of them with insights from 50 friends to uncover my own superpowers. Today, we launch Part One. 1️⃣ Listen.

The sooner people understand that top podcasters are not there to promote or challenge any specific person or cause, but simply to hold conversations for listeners to learn and form their own stance, the sooner they’ll see it’s not agenda-laden. It’s real. No fluff. I can’t tell you how often people ask me to do podcasts about something or with a certain person to either discredit them or build someone up. But that’s not how it works. We pick a topic, explore it, and bring on multiple guests with different perspectives.

To be honest, I still don’t fully understand how Spotify’s analytics work. Same goes for Apple Podcasts and most social media platforms—such a big black box 📦 Or maybe I just don’t have the genuine interest to dig deeper into it. 😊 That said, I’m happy that Spotify finally sent me this badge. It may only last for a day, but no matter—it’s a nice bit of encouragement. Thank you! Chief Change Officer | Make Change Ambitiously #podcast

Networking on LinkedIn for a real job is tough, especially with the lack of human connection. But Alison Stewart made it happen—she connected directly with the CEO of Overalls and discovered the COO opportunity. Three years later, she hasn’t looked back at her Corporate America days. 👣 The bold step she took during COVID has paid off, and Overalls is now making waves in the employee benefits space. The company is building a network of ‘life concierges’—stay-at-home parents, the underemployed, and retirees—who work with employers to help ease employees’ day-to-day stresses. Will this model boost employee loyalty or make people more willing to return to the office? Time will tell, but it’s certainly an idea worth exploring. 🚨 Season 5 ➕ Episode 2 🚨 Overalls COO Alison Stewart: Would You Let Your Employer Do Your Laundry? 👔 – Part Two https://lnkd.in/gDw-dPqp (Spotify) https://lnkd.in/g5qqD2GE (Apple) 🚥 🚥 🚥 🚥 🚥 Chief Change Officer | Make Change Ambitiously Global Rank Top 3% on Listen Notes 📈 World's #1 Career Podcast 🥇 Top 5 in Careers on Apple 🍎 🇺🇲🇨🇦🇲🇽🇮🇪🇭🇺🇦🇹🇨🇭🇫🇮🇸🇪🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇹🇷🇱🇰🇮🇳🇲🇾🇯🇵🇦🇺 #MakeYourLawsOfChange #ChiefChangeOfficer #CareerTransitions #FutureOfCareers #CareerChange #FutureOfWork #Podcasts

But it might not be what truly motivates you.” 🚴♂️ 🚴♀️ Alison once thrived within the safety net of Corporate America’s “American Dream.” 🇺🇸 But during COVID, she took a bold step into a new venture aimed at redefining employee benefits. Landing the opportunity through LinkedIn #networking with the CEO of Overalls, Alison’s journey shows the power of change and connection. How did it all come together?
