Description

In a rut?  Feel like you're going through the motions?  If it's more than 3 years til your retirement, it's too early to be counting down the days!

Even those with strong sense of purpose and drive can find themselves in moments or periods of lost momentum or creeping cynicism.  Trust me, I've been there SEVERAL times, and so have so many leaders and mentors who have shared with me.  It's natural, but we don't have to just idle and float through life, going through the motions until we get bit with a sense of initiative.  Life doesn't happen to us - we happen to it!

So in this episode, we explore this topic, whether you're "mid-career" or only a few years in, so you can identify actionable items and practices to get back on track (the fast one that keeps us grinding, growing, and gritty!)
