In this episode, Elizabeth Lotardo, author of Leading Yourself: Finding More Joy, Meaning, and Opportunities in the Job You Already Have, shares her insights on how to find purpose and fulfillment in your current job. Drawing on her background as an organizational psychologist, Elizabeth explores how shifting your mindset can help you thrive at work, even when facing challenges like imperfect bosses, rigid systems, and high workloads.


In this conversation, we dive into:
• Defining Purpose at Work: Elizabeth challenges the idea that purpose is reserved for high-profile jobs or noble causes, suggesting that purpose can be found in small moments of impact within any role.
• Reframing Workplace Frustrations: We talk about how to manage dissatisfaction by recognizing the value in everyday tasks and reframing negative beliefs about your job.
• Overcoming Quiet Quitting: Elizabeth explains why quiet quitting is often a result of self-protection and burnout and how you can engage more meaningfully at work without sacrificing your well-being.
• The Power of Perspective: We explore how adjusting your mindset and focusing on what’s in your control can help you navigate difficult workplace changes and thrive in the face of uncertainty.
• Setting Input Goals: Instead of relying solely on outcome goals, Elizabeth advocates for focusing on input goals—things you can control— to build long-term success and fulfillment.


Elizabeth’s practical advice offers a fresh perspective on how to take charge of your career, find meaning in your work, and manage the challenges that come with any job.
