Is your career leaving you anxious, stressed and drained? Dawn had this exact problem in her past career and is joined in this episode by Matias Bichara who has had the same difficulties.
Matias opens up to Dawn about the difficulties and challenges of becoming and practising as a lawyer and how the culture of the industry creates stress and anxiety for many. He sincerely talks about when he realised he could no longer practice law and how he came to recognise that coaching was always what he was meant to do.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Fear, punishment and embarrassment is not a good way to motivate people, yet this is the culture in teaching and practising law. It’s motivation through fear.
The anxiety and stress Matias felt even at the beginning of his career as a lawyer had a negative impact on his well-being as well as how well he performed.
When we are fearful, we shut down, it is a natural response. Yet so many leaders do not understand this.
Law isn’t the only industry where fear is used by leadership, it’s a toxic method that is found in many industries, it is passed down from manager to manager and therefore their teams too.
Individuals can be made to feel like anything worth doing is supposed to be difficult, hard and stressful. Gaining an outside perspective on this is the only way out and this is was Matias did and he now helps others discover the same.
Choosing to give up your day job to pursue your real passion can be a difficult decision. Dawn usually recommends that you wait until you are making the same as your day job before you quit unless your current day job is too toxic to wait.
It’s not always a person’s career that needs to change. Sometimes it’s just the position or even just difficult conversations that need to be had.
BEST MOMENTS
“You always have to be extra prepared, there’s no room for mistakes”
“People learn to avoid a specific behaviour rather than engage in a new one”
“If your entire life is driven by feat then you are going to collapse”
“I quit my job and then I started to look at what things would fulfil me”
“In reality, I work with anybody who doesn’t like their job”
