Podcasts about professional identity

  Summary: Skill-Based Job Setups, AI, Identity, and Team Dynamics 1. AI and Skill Identification in Organizations AI-Driven Talent Management: Organizations are increasingly using AI to analyze employee data, identify hidden skills, and match people to new roles or projects. This helps optimize workforce deployment and supports upskilling initiatives. Benefits: AI enables more efficient talent placement, better prediction of future skill needs, and proactive workforce development. Concerns: Reliance on AI raises privacy issues and ethical concerns about how personal data is used. It may also challenge employees' sense of identity if they feel reduced to a set of data points. 2. Professional Identity and Personal Identity at Work Identity Matters: People often define themselves by their profession (“I'm a writer,” “I'm an accountant”). This professional identity is closely tied to personal identity and self-worth. Challenges of Skill-Based Assignments: When work is assigned solely based on skills, employees may feel their professional identity is diluted or undervalued. This can impact job satisfaction and motivation. Psychological Impact: Research shows that a strong, positive professional identity is linked to higher job satisfaction and commitment. However, over-identifying with work can be unhealthy if work becomes the sole source of identity. 3. Upskilling and Employee Autonomy Upskilling Benefits: Upskilling is more efficient than hiring for specific skills and helps organizations adapt to changing needs. It also supports employee growth and retention. Autonomy is Key: Employees value the ability to choose projects and roles that align with their interests. Organizations that offer autonomy see higher engagement, innovation, and satisfaction. Whole-Person Approach: Organizations should treat employees as individuals with unique skills, interests, and aspirations, not just as interchangeable resources. 4. Personal Preferences vs. Skills Skills Alone Aren't Enough: Just because someone is skilled at a task doesn't mean they enjoy it. Personal preferences, passions, and emotional well-being are critical for motivation and job satisfaction. Alignment is Essential: Assigning work that aligns with both skills and interests leads to higher productivity and fulfillment. Ignoring preferences can result in disengagement and burnout. 5. Challenges in Skill-Based Organizations Resistance to Change: Shifting from traditional job roles to skill-based setups can be met with resistance from both employees and managers. Skill Visibility: Many organizations lack a clear understanding of the skills within their workforce, making it difficult to implement effective skill-based strategies. Legacy Practices: Outdated compensation, performance management, and promotion systems can hinder the transition to skill-based models. 6. Team Dynamics and Workplace Culture Beyond Skills: Successful teams require more than just compatible skills. Interpersonal dynamics, shared values, and a positive culture are essential for collaboration and productivity. Risk of Dysfunction: Focusing only on skills can lead to dysfunctional teams and toxic work environments if team members don't work well together. Inclusive Environments: Organizations that consider both skills and team dynamics are more likely to create inclusive, positive workplaces where employees thrive. Conclusion Skill-based job setups and upskilling offer significant advantages for organizations, including better talent placement, higher retention, and greater agility. However, these benefits can only be fully realized if organizations also consider the importance of professional identity, employee autonomy, personal preferences, and team dynamics. By balancing skill optimization with a holistic understanding of employees as individuals, organizations can create healthier, more productive workplaces where both people and businesses thrive.

Otolaryngologist Kevin C. McMains discusses his article "The hero's journey: Understanding professional identity formation in graduate medical education." Kevin discusses the ongoing crisis of burnout and mental health issues in medical training, critically examining traditional educational and environmental interventions. He identifies a gap in the current narrative surrounding work-life balance, suggesting that framing work and life as dichotomous can inadvertently diminish the intrinsic rewards of caring for others. Kevin proposes an alternative, more emotionally powerful narrative for professional identity formation: the hero's journey. He explains how this framework, rooted in universal storytelling traditions, can help medical trainees find deeper meaning in their sacrifices and engage more profoundly with their patients, fostering a more resilient and compassionate generation of health care professionals.

Rethink career success by testing, adapting, and staying open to unexpected opportunities.Career planning isn't as straightforward as we often assume—but according to Dorie Clark, that's actually a good thing. Instead of following a rigid path, she believes we should be “treating our careers like a series of experiments”—testing, iterating, and staying open to unexpected opportunities."People assume they need to have everything mapped out for the next twenty years," Clark explains. "But in reality, careers are built through testing, learning, and adapting—just like a scientific hypothesis."As a bestselling author and career strategist, Clark has spent years studying how professionals can future-proof their careers in an unpredictable world. She shares why informational interviews, LinkedIn strategy, and quarterly career check-ins are essential tools for anyone looking to make a career shift. “You don't want to be so mired in your plan that you can't take advantage of unexpected opportunities,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Clark joins host Matt Abrahams to challenge traditional career advice and explore strategic personal branding, the power of weak ties in networking, and why “reinvention isn't a one-time event—it's a habit.”This episode is brought to you by LinkedIn.

Inquire about working with Liz in Private Coaching: Book a Consultation Join the Therapist to Coach Collective: Learn More Episode Summary: In this final episode of the Beyond Private Practice series on debunking the top 10 myths therapists have about starting a coaching business, Liz Fernandez addresses a concern that hits close to home for many: “Does calling myself a coach mean I'm losing my therapist identity?” Therapists often fear that embracing a coaching role will diminish the professional identity they worked so hard to build. Liz explains why this fear is rooted in a misunderstanding and how coaching can actually enhance your work as a therapist. Liz shares how coaching is not a replacement for therapy but an extension of your skill set. It allows you to serve clients in new, goal-oriented ways without compromising the values and expertise you bring from your therapy background. By thinking of coaching as an additional way to support clients' growth, you can confidently own both identities.

In episode 66, Chris and Emma celebrated the podcast's third birthday! We reflect on our highlights, challenges, and lessons over the last year.One of the most rewarding aspects of our podcast journey has been the incredible community we've built around the theory of positive disintegration. The relationships we've formed—both with each other and with our listeners—have been instrumental in our development. We've witnessed the transformation of individuals within our community, and it's a reminder of how vital connection is in our personal and professional lives.We touch on letting go of perfectionism. We both know that growth is an ongoing process, and it's okay not to have everything figured out. We share our experiences navigating challenges and how they've pushed us to rethink our values and boundaries. This journey of self-discovery is not linear, and embracing the messiness of life as we continue to evolve is essential.Our conversation also delves into the complexities of values and how they can clash, especially in today's polarized world. We explore how different perspectives can lead to misunderstandings and the importance of recognizing that our values may manifest differently in our actions. This insight fosters empathy and understanding in personal relationships and broader societal contexts.Links from this episodeOur previous birthday episodes from year 1 (Ep. 20, Values) and year 2 (Ep. 46).

How to Avoid a Professional Identity Crisis Remembering you're more than your worst day and less than your best day is just one of the nuggets of wisdom we discuss this week in our examination of Warwick's latest blog at beyondthecrucible.com about the truths that will help you avoid a professional identity crisis. Among the points from his blog Warwick and I discuss are the need to do some serious self-examination and self-reflection; asking others for help if you feel like your identity is wrapped up in what you do, and making sure you're tackling the soul work that will help you keep your identity in an emotionally healthy balance. Along the way, we also discuss the inspiration for the blog, which came from two recent podcast guests … and Warwick's own struggles with his professional identity and how he's moved beyond them.

Cindy Esliger examines the trifecta of our work, our identity, and our self-awareness, breaking down where they complement each other and where we should define boundaries. Self-awareness allows us to distinguish between who we are and what we do. The value of our work is different from our worth as a human being. The distinctions between our professional and personal identity require a deep dive into self-awareness, a journey Cindy is here to guide us through. Part of self-awareness is understanding ourselves on a deeper level, and one of the great influences on our journey is how we respond to stress. Cindy asks four questions to help us gauge our stress response: 1. When things get tough, do we step up or step back, 2. How do we handle criticism, 3. Do we reach out or shut down when the going gets tough, 4. What's our conflict style? She then offers four strategies to help us manage those knee-jerk stress reactions. With introspection of this type, we raise our self-awareness. That, in turn, allows us to define exactly who we are. It shapes our knowledge of our personal identity. Understanding who we are can then reflect positively on our professional identities, creating more opportunities for challenge and growth. Cindy highlights that our developed personal identity prevents us from over-identifying with our work. If we allow work to define who we are, we put our self-worth in the hands of a business decision or a boss. Cindy guides us through the perils of allowing work to become our identity and offers keen insight to aid us in self-awareness in this episode.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Your Work and Your IdentityAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Most of us never really consider our careers beyond clinical practice when we graduate. So our professional identities become tied up in our professional designation or clinical qualifications. But when you embark on carving out a new career path as a healthcare professional, this often disrupts your professional identity and requires a re-framing of who you see yourself as becoming and what you want others to see you as.   Eager for More?

Transitioning from corporate to CEO is inherently risky, but by calculating your risks, you can set yourself up for success.  A growing number of people are leaving their corporate jobs to launch their own businesses, especially in coaching and consulting, an industry projected to reach nearly $12 billion by 2032. Making this shift involves both emotional and practical aspects. It's crucial to assess your personal risk tolerance, have sufficient financial backup, and understand the startup costs associated with different business types.  Start with foundational work, aided by a 360 assessment. Then, define your ideal customer, create a simple website, and gather testimonials to build credibility before you quit. Finding alignment between your personal values and business goals is key to creating a fulfilling career. Before you quit, you can leverage your corporate job to prepare for entrepreneurship. A steady income allows you to establish business foundations, test methodologies, and refine your offerings.  Being an entrepreneur means taking calculated risks and being mindful of the emotional and financial readiness required to ensure a smooth transition from corporate to CEO. Quotes “In my last corporate job interview, one of the people interviewing me, which was one of the very senior people at the organization, actually said to me, ‘how long do you think you're gonna last here before you leave to start your own company again?'” “One of the things we do with so many of our clients is give them this 360 assessment to see how others view them, how others view their brand attributes, how others view their strengths, how others view their role within a group setting, you know, are they the leader? Are they more of a participant? What's their role?” “There's been a big shift, particularly in the US in the last several years, for people to leave corporate and launch their own business.” “By the year 2032, the coaching / consulting industry will have nearly $12 billion dollars of financial investment in that field.”  “Some of the questions that one should ask themselves is: How comfortable are you with risk? How much money do you need in the bank before you feel comfortable and safe leaving a consistently paying job? How long will it take you to land your first client? What are some of the expenses you have to start your business?” “Another thing to factor into it: how painful is it for you to stay in your current role in corporate?” “Whether it's the startup phase, or you're 15 years into your business, there is always some risks in being your own boss. But I guess there is too sometimes in working for others.” “The personal brand process is really introspective, and it really forces you to dig deep and figure out, you know, what are you here to do with this one crazy life?” “If you are putting a shingle out there as a coach or consultant, you want that business to reflect who you are. You want that business to really like a sense of home.” “Life happens while you're busy living.” “Work is such a big part of our day. So if you can have such a settlement and satisfaction that even getting paid to do it feels like you're dreaming then I'm just a huge fan and people launching their coaching and consulting businesses that have the background and the ability to help others with their skill set.”

In episode 61, Chris and Emma were joined by Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton, a professional identity researcher and the leading expert on hybrid professional identity. Sarabeth is based in Boulder, Colorado, and author of More Than My Title: The Power of Hybrid Professionals in a Workplace of Experts and Generalists. Understanding and articulating your professional identity is essential for achieving fulfillment and success in the workplace. Sarabeth emphasized the significance of understanding and articulating your professional identity beyond job titles. She stressed the importance of recognizing ourselves in our work, independent of the tasks we perform. We delved into Sarabeth's concept of hybrid professional identity, where individuals bring together diverse skills and experiences to create something new. She shared how being a hybrid professional can lead to disruption and innovation in the workplace, challenging traditional norms and boundaries. We learned about the need to explore the intersection of multiple professional identities to truly define and showcase your unique value in the workplace.Sarabeth's work helps people articulate their unique values and contributions in the workplace. Through exercises and frameworks, she assists individuals in exploring their skills, experiences, and preferences to create a comprehensive understanding of their professional identities. This process enables individuals to enhance self-awareness, communicate strengths effectively, and navigate career transitions or advancements with confidence and clarity.Sarabeth shared that professionals with hybrid identities often face challenges in traditional work environments where they are expected to fit into specific roles. This can result in feeling misunderstood, undervalued, or limited in expressing their full potential. We discussed the importance of career belonging, where individuals seek to align their values, skills, and aspirations with their work environment. We learned the importance of understanding where you fit and belong in your career journey, whether to yourself, others, or a larger purpose.Links from this episodeSarabeth's website: More Than My Title Her book More Than My Title on AmazonFind Sarabeth on:LinkedInInstagramFacebookWe mentioned Gifted Unleashed Episode 33, featuring Nadja Cereghetti and guest Chris Wells.Connect with usPositive Disintegration on SubstackVisit the Dabrowski Center websiteFacebookInstagramThe Positive Disintegration YouTube ChannelAdults with Overexcitabilities group on FacebookThe Tragic Gift blog by EmmaEmail us at positivedisintegration.pod@gmail.comPlease consider supporting the podcast to help fund this work through the Dabrowski Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.Find Positive Disintegration MerchIf you enjoyed this episode on Apple or Spotify, please remember to click on the stars and leave a rating or write a review.

Changing your last name, whether due to marriage or divorce, is an incredibly personal decision that deeply affects how you're perceived both online and in your career. Your name isn't just a label—it's intricately tied to your personal brand and professional image. When contemplating a change, it's important to think about where you are in your career, the body of work you've built under your current name, and how the different names you're considering might be perceived. There are various ways to maintain continuity in your professional identity, such as retaining your maiden name, hyphenating, or integrating your spouse's last name (or your maiden name) as a middle name. Conversely, if divorce prompts a return to your maiden name, strategies like securing multiple domain names for both your maiden and married names, and updating content to maintain search engine visibility, can facilitate this transition. Ultimately, the name you select should feel authentically aligned with your personal brand and resonate positively with your professional aspirations. Quotes “Your name is such a part of your identity, and certainly is your personal brand.” “I kept my last name legally. I was 33 when I got married, and just had a lot under my maiden name, right, Rachel Gogos. So I didn't want to take on a new last name and sort of have to build up that body of work again.” “There's a number of ways so you can keep your your last name intact and sort of associated with your first name. And one of them is to take your current, in fact, I have a friend getting married next month, who's 40 and she's taking her husband's last name as her last name and making her current last name, her middle name. So that way if people Google her, you know, that still will come up.”  “Whatever you do, it's a personal choice. But just think about where you are in your profession, where you are in your stage of life.” “If you got married at a young age, took on your spouse's last name, and then find yourself getting divorced, say 20 years later, it's gonna take time to build up some results and some data and information under your new last name. So, something to consider from the get go.” “Having gotten married a little bit later in life, I just felt very deeply connected to my last name.”

While all our careers are sure to encounter different twists and turns along the way, remembering your core values and knowing what drives you are things that can sustain you even in the most uncertain and challenging times. This sentiment is outlined powerfully in this week's edition of the Faculty Factory Podcast with our first-time guest, Andrew Dwyer, PhD, FNP-BC, FNAP, FAAN. Dr. Dwyer is an associate professor at the Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing (CSON) and is a principal investigator in the Massachusetts General Hospital and G.H. Harvard Center for Reproductive Medicine. Additionally, Dr. Dwyer is a Macy Faculty Scholar (Class of 2023). When it comes to professional identity formation, it's all about reflecting on the things that fuel you, and taking the time to discover what truly aligns with your values to build that foundation for long-term success. To jumpstart this self-reflection exercise and foster self-awareness, one of the things Dr. Dwyer shares with the graduate students he works with is the importance of asking a few fundamental questions: What is it that you love? What are you good at? Does the world need it? Can you get paid for it? As Dr. Dwyer helps us navigate the intersection of personal values and professional identity, he emphasizes the theory of Ikigai. This is a concept from Japanese philosophy that inspires individuals to identify what is genuinely important to them and to lead a life rich in purpose and happiness.

In today's episode, Cindy Esliger unpacks the adage “How you do anything is how you do everything”. How we approach all tasks, big or small, demonstrates our consistency and our broader values. We can be in charge of how we are viewed by consciously deciding what we want to be known for and how we want to show up in the workplace. Cindy guides us through how to approach making that decision. The first step is to identify our professional identity. Cindy says whether it's our leadership or reliability, whatever it is, make sure it aligns with our values and goals. When unplanned things happen, as they always do, how we respond should be intentional and align with what we've chosen as our professional identity. Cindy discusses practical tips for determining our professional identity based on five key characteristics of successful people.  Cindy examines and connects the areas of effective communication, active listening, continuous learning, seeking feedback, integrity, adaptability, and more to building our professional identity. She also guides us through developing productive work habits. What do we procrastinate on? How do we approach meetings? There are many ways we can improve our work patterns through small changes and overall transform our professional reputation to align with our goals.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Being More Intentional in the WorkplaceAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Physiotherapy's future lies in embracing a kaleidoscope of perspectives, transcending boundaries, and redefining healing itself. For today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Dave Nicholls, author of "The End of Physiotherapy" and "Physiotherapy Otherwise”. Dr. Nicholls is here to challenge conventional perspectives and explore the future of the vital healthcare discipline: Physiotherapy. He reveals the hidden potential in embracing a broader scope that includes social justice, psychology, and even phenomenology. He also uncovers why he advocates for a pluralistic approach, where various perspectives coexist to create a more diverse and effective healing landscape. Throughout the episode, Dr. Nicholls demonstrates that it's time for physiotherapists to bridge the gap between the physical and the psychological, ultimately reshaping the narrative of healthcare itself. Join us in this episode as we challenge the status quo and pave the way for a new era of healing.
