What happens when you’re great at your job but miserable in it?
In this episode, I read an excerpt from Stand Out 2.0 by Marcus Buckingham and share the story of Michael, a capable, kind professional who got promoted out of alignment with his strengths, and ultimately burned out.
We explore:
- Why knowing your strengths isn’t optional
- The emotional toll of the “wrong fit”
- What to do when your work no longer feels like “you”
This one’s for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why does this job drain me?”
