Eliz's introduction is as follows: Do you worry about the toll all of the uncertainty and stress is taking on your health, quality of life…and maybe even your sanity? Eliz Greene has a thing or two to say about stress. She is a professional speaker, a small business owner, and a mother of 19-year-old twins. She received volumes of unvarnished truth from employees and leaders all over the world as part of her research on job stress.

Description: This week is the 3rd episode of the next Career Pivot evaluation series called, "Can Phil Repurpose His Career?". This will be the fourth individual I have done this with. Previously, I worked with Tim, Sarah, and Juan (not their real names). This time it is Phil, who is in his early 60s, spent 20 years in the military, and worked the last 10 years in the private sector. If you have not listened to the first two episodes in the series, I suggest you stop and go back and listen to episodes 165 and 166 This will be a 4-episode series where the first 2 episodes comprise the first feedback session. The next 2 episodes are the 2nd and 3rd feedback sessions. I do not record the 4th feedback session as it is a review and usually gets too personal for this podcast.   In this episode, I take Phil through his preferred work styles which will include the following: His natural management style How he fits into the corporate world How he fits into society His decision-making style You can download the repo

Description: This will be a 4-episode series where the first 2 episodes are comprised of the first feedback session. The next 2 episodes are the 2nd and 3rd feedback sessions. I do not record the 4th feedback session as it is a review and usually gets too personal for this podcast. This is the 2nd half of the first feedback session. You will discover that Phil has a big gap in usual versus needs scores in the area of insistence. He is very structured, but he is also a big-time problem solver. From his behavior, you would never know he is a problem solver. I call this being a structured anarchist. He loves rules as long as they are his rules. He also has an interesting combination of being a problem solver and being a sensitive guy. In the engineering world, this is very uncommon and we will see later on that this is a superpower.

Podcast #162 - Marc Interviews Joanne Webb, Author of Desire the Skies - The First Book Every Aspiring Flight Attendant Needs to Read Description: Joanne Webb has been a flight attendant for nineteen years. As she pursued this career path, she also took some miss-steps along the way.  She applied to become a flight attendant a few different times after graduating from college.  She was rejected, and based on that feeling, stopped pursuing the one career that truly made her feel excited.  In the summer of 2000, Joanne wandered into a hat store in New York City after calling on a client.  The woman working there, Tricia, was about fifty at the time.  She mentioned she was going to Paris that night and that she was a flight attendant for Continental Airlines, which is now part of United Airlines.  Joanne told her she had applied three years before and they didn't want her.  Tricia assured her that was not necessarily true - she just needed some coaching. Joanne reapplied at Continental and is now a nineteen-year
