Listener Question: I'm in a "safe job" but this "safe job" is so boring. What do I do? 
Let’s work through a career dilemma: feeling bored at a "safe" job right in a time of mass lay-offs. In this episode I share actionable strategies to navigate boredom and rediscover engagement in your career.

  • First, I urge a reevaluation to ensure your current situation is as secure as you think. 
  • Then, we examine the root of your boredom. It might not be what you think it is: it is essential to differentiate between genuine disengagement and your unexpected response to reduced stress.
  • Finally, I explore practical ways to stay stimulated, both in and outside of your job.
