#183 | How To Lead Yourself With Elizabeth Lotardo
January 28, 2025
Two out of three workers feel stuck in their job. And the truth is the “Great Resignation” did little to increase workplace happiness. Changing your job rarely correlates with workplace happiness. Learning how to lead yourself and take control of your career is the best chance you have at a career that brings you joy. But what exactly is self leadership and why does it matter?
In this episode, I chat with self-leadership expert Elizabeth Lotardo, and let me tell you, it’s packed with insights on tips to help you turn things around today and tips for playing the long game on the journey to a fulfilling career. Elizabeth is all about helping you take back control of your career happiness, and in our conversation, she dives into how to focus on “controlling the controllables.” Forget waiting around for your boss, HR, or anyone else to make the changes you need. It’s time to take matters into your own hands and lead from the front.
She shared tricks for dealing with a micromanaging boss and what to do when you work with someone who really gets under your skin. She had advice for how to juggle the chaos of running your own business and she even shared tips for what to do if you are the boss that tends to micromanage. If you’re ready to regain control of your career, break free from feeling stuck, and start leading yourself toward a more fulfilling path, this episode is for you.
