Description

What happens when you’re great at your job but miserable in it?

In this episode, I read an excerpt from Stand Out 2.0 by Marcus Buckingham and share the story of Michael, a capable, kind professional who got promoted out of alignment with his strengths, and ultimately burned out.

We explore:

  • Why knowing your strengths isn’t optional
  • The emotional toll of the “wrong fit”
  • What to do when your work no longer feels like “you”

This one’s for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why does this job drain me?”
