Feeling stuck at work starts when everything is perfect. You have your dream job. This is what you always wanted. Three years in, you're good at it. Maybe too good. But something feels off and you can't explain why. Are you ungrateful, or are you growing?
Dr. Leda Stawnychko says that discomfort isn't always a problem. It's often the signal that your identity is shifting faster than your role. Shane and Leda explore the difference between workplace problems and professional growth, why being smarter than your boss creates frustration, and how volunteer positions become low-risk training grounds. Leda reveals the question that identifies your next career move: what would you do for free? Shane shares his airport baggage handling job and why working with firefighters and lawyers taught him more than any business role.
Discover why gratitude and growth aren't opposites. Learn how to spot when you've outgrown your position without guilt. Understand what volunteer work reveals about the skills you should get paid for next.
