One Simple Step to Career Fulfillment

What is one thing we all can do to increase our personal and professional fulfillment? Join host Natalie Benamou as she sits down with Marlo Lyons, a seasoned career coach and executive leader.  Together they explore the transformative power of taking a pause. Marlo shares her unconventional career journey, from TV news reporting to law and HR, and ultimately to coaching. Through it all, she discovered that true career fulfillment often begins with a single, simple step: pausing to reflect on what you really want.

3 Key Career Advice Steps

1. Pause and Reflect: Take a moment each day to stop everything and truly think about what you want. Disconnect from the noise, and focus on your values and desires.

2. Align Your Career with Your Values: Evaluate if your current role or career path is in line with what energizes you and brings you joy. If it’s not, consider making a change that reflects your true values.

3. Manage Stakeholders Proactively: Success in any leadership role requires ongoing communication and alignment with key stakeholders. Keep them informed and involved, and manage relationships thoughtfully to maintain your influence and position.
