How to find Happiness at Work when things are Hard

<p>Are you struggling to find <strong>happiness at work</strong> — or in your professional life? Ashley and Sumi are here with a lot of<strong> real talk</strong> as they unpack an issue that a lot of us women face. It starts with <em>reevaluating</em> where you want to end up on the corporate ladder in terms of what will provide you with the most happiness.&nbsp;</p><p>That can lead to questioning whether you are even on the <strong>right ladder </strong>— which may seem like a<em> luxury of privilege </em>you can’t afford when you’re providing for your family. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start<strong> enjoying life now</strong>, because that is what we are fighting for, now — as our hosts so eloquently put it. It’s about <em>equal equality</em>, and <em>equal opportunity</em>, and as women rewrite the rules, they need to do with some enjoyment in their lives!</p><p>What this looks like is having a <em>squad in the boardroom</em> who can call out when you aren’t getting <strong>validation for your idea</strong>. It’s about transition sentences like “Building off of what So and So said” that gets you taken seriously as a woman of color in meetings where a ‘mediocre white male’ is hogging the limelight.&nbsp;</p><p>Developing an <em>authoritative voice</em>, not <em>second-guessing yourself</em>, and t<strong>aking yourself seriously</strong> are some of the tools that we can use to rewrite the rules of how we conduct ourselves, leading to more personal happiness and a resultant shift in the power dynamics. There’s much more inside this authoritative episode of Women Rewriting the Rules. It’s time to be unapologetically yourself!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p class="ql-align-center"><strong>“It might actually be more enjoyable for me to sort of ‘reset’ how I’m thinking about building my career, that would allow me to feel more happiness in that.” ~ Ashley</strong></p><br><p class="ql-align-center"><strong>“Loving what you do takes effort.” ~ Sumi</strong></p><br><br><br><br><p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p><br><ul><li>How The Great Resignation is affecting <em>women of color</em></li><li>Where do you want to end up on the corporate ladder?</li><li><em>Is this even the right ladder? </em>Throwing the ladder into the trash&nbsp;</li><li>A McKinsey study that reveals less ‘psychological safety’ for women of color</li><li>Having<strong> your own squad</strong> who will stand up for you in meetings and&nbsp;</li><li>Building confidence in the future — establishing rapport with your co-workers</li><li>Why it’s not about learning to speak like the Old Boys Club does — <strong>owning your own energy</strong></li><li>The Power of Silence — <em>as a response</em></li><li>What Sumi learned from Hilary Clinton and Benghazi</li><li>Retaining a <em>sense of curiosity</em> before life gets too dry</li><li>Finding joy in the <strong>everyday little things</strong> — why it’s not all about accomplishments</li><li>Understanding the choices you always have — <strong>is it time to leave?</strong>&nbsp;</li><li>What is <em>‘quiet quitting’</em> and is it a good, long-term solution?</li><li>Embracing <strong>‘quiet ambition’</strong> to find more happiness</li></ul><br/><br><br><p>And more!</p><br><br><br><p><strong>Connect with Sumi Krishnan:</strong></p><br><ul><li>Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesumikrishnan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thesumikrishnan/</a></li></ul><br/><br><br><br><p><strong>Connect with Ashley Baxter:</strong></p><br><ul><li>Website –<a href="https://drjockers.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.itsashleybaxter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ashley Baxter</a></li></ul><br/>
