My guest today is Stella Grizont. Stella is an executive coach and has helped over 1400 overachievers work happier and live better across 21 countries. She's a favorite for organizations like Google, Genentech, and J&J. She's on a mission to empower people to take control and end the dread they experience on the job and feel like their most alive self. You may have seen Stella featured on Forbes, MSNBC, ABC, and The Today Show.

Stella notes that when we’re unhappy at work, our brain typically wants to avoid it, to get away, to get out of the unpleasant situation, but escaping the bad is not the same thing as moving towards the good. In order to figure out what we should be moving towards, we first need to figure out how we want to feel, how we want to be, what we want to experience at work. Once we get clear on that, we can realize that there are a number of ways for us to accomplish this, and new possibilities open up. When Stella first begins working with a client who is considering a major change at work, she has them do an activity that helps them get clear on their vision, what it is they truly want to be moving towards, and you can get this for free at her website (www.VisionGenerator.com). After helping her clients determine their vision, she helps them figure out their underlying values, and then the process continues from there.

Stella and I discuss the intersection of her work and one of my own specialties, life purpose, and she has some great insights into how we can reframe our own actions in order to feel better about ourselves and less self-critical. She also addresses what we can do when we’re faced with very difficult coworkers.
