Origins : Navigating Transitions

The Unbecoming Platypus

Navigating life's transitions can be a lot like walking 15 miles: daunting, exhausting, and seemingly impossible. But what if we told you that persistently putting one foot in front of the other could get you where you need to go? Yes, this episode is all about managing life's various phases, be it juggling a new job, personal projects, or maintaining existing clients. We've got some humorous anecdotes about the language barrier, which our absent co-host Jake could have easily resolved if he were here.
Grab a cup of coffee, make yourself comfortable and come along as we venture into the realm of emotions and personal preferences. We explore how understanding and labeling our own emotions can provide valuable action signals, and discuss the pressures of balancing personal interests and responsibilities, especially when you have young ones to look after. We bust some myths about the money-making culture and its narrow sighted messaging. Moreover, we take you back in time, shedding light on IBM's Xerox copier division and the valuable lessons it holds for making career choices.
This episode isn't just about sharing stories and experiences. It's about finding a way through uncertainty, crafting your unique path, and staying true to it, even when the going gets tough. It's about recognizing your feelings as signals that can guide you, about balancing what you love with what you must do, and about making choices that align with your authentic self. So, tune in and join our conversation. We promise you an insightful, engaging and uplifting dialogue that might just offer the perspective you need to successfully navigate your own transition period.
