On its face, a job search is just a project. Take action, take action, and eventually get a result.

But a job search rarely feels like “just a project.” For many people, a search brings up all kinds of insecurity, dread, and discomfort.

Over the next few episodes of Joyful Leader, I’ll be talking about the mindset shifts that can help take your job search from terrible to terrific . . . or at least tolerable.

Whether you’re looking for a job now or know you will again at some point . . . this series of episodes will help you take charge and think differently about finding your next dream job.

On today’s podcast, I’m talking about my favorite tool of all time.

It is a tool for planning . . . whether you’re planning a single event, the next 10 years of your life, or your next salary negotiation.

Using this tool helps you connect your plans to bigger ideas, build engagement and buy-in, create a healthy and flourishing team culture, lead out-of-the-park quality presentations . . . and generally increase the quality, effectiveness, and precision of your work.

It is deceptively simple. And incredibly powerful.

The tool is called Outcomes BEFORE Methods, and today we’re talking all about how to use it as a tool for planning.

And, I’m walking you through exactly how to start using it by applying the tool to your current team meetings.

You don’t want to miss this.

Thanks for listening.

This week, we’re talking about balance.

Specifically, your balance line.

If you imagine a glass filled to the midpoint, this is your balance line.

It represents the place in your life and work when your needs are met, and you have what you need to be at your best.

When one or more of your needs goes unmet, you fall below your balance line.

This is such an important topic. Because when we fall below our balance line, it can create a vicious cycle that results in feeling less and less like ourselves.

Tune in to hear how to identify your balance line, how to operate at it, and what questions to ask yourself to maintain it.

I’ll also share why I recommend finding at least one area of your life where you feel like you’re operating at a surplus — where all your needs are met and then some.
