She discusses the pursuit of success in her career and the realization that external achievements did not equate to internal happiness. Dr. Zeller emphasizes the importance of inner work and personal growth, leading her to become a coach for others seeking fulfillment in their careers. The conversation highlights the complexities of mental health in the dental profession and the need for a holistic approach to happiness. In this conversation, Stephanie Zeller discusses her journey from being a prosthodontist to a personal transformation expert, focusing on helping professionals find fulfillment in their careers. She emphasizes the importance of understanding burnout, the need for personal transformation, and the belief that happiness can be cultivated from within. The discussion also highlights the resources available for individuals seeking to make significant changes in their professional lives.     takeaways Dr. Zeller grew up in a dental family, influencing her career choice. She initially considered psychology before pursuing dentistry. Dental school was challenging and not as expected for both Dr. Zeller and Serv. Success in dentistry does not always lead to personal happiness. Dr. Zeller found passion in prosthodontics after years of general practice. She emphasizes the importance of continuing education to reignite passion. Mental health discussions in dentistry have become more prevalent post-COVID. Inner work is essential for true happiness and career fulfillment. Coaching others became a natural extension of her journey. Therapy alone may not be sufficient for career-related dissatisfaction. The goal of the course is to help people experience career fulfillment. Many professionals, especially dentists, struggle with burnout. Burnout often stems from doing things one doesn't want to do. Taking a vacation doesn't necessarily fix burnout. Happiness is an inside job and can be cultivated. Most people don't know the specific causes of their burnout. Transitioning to a new career path can be fulfilling. Personal transformation can lead to greater success and happiness. Changing subconscious beliefs can alter one's experience of work. Resources like courses can help individuals find their path to happiness. titles From Dentistry to Coaching: Dr. Zeller's Journey Finding Fulfillment Beyond the Dental Chair The Inner Work of Happiness in Dentistry Sound Bites "I had a lot of loans."

Today we're in Toronto, Canada, for the very first time, and we're speaking with an immigration lawyer. And no, I'm not looking to venture to North America to work or live.

Since 1974, he's helped over 10,000 clients with various legal problems. He's an authority on the topic of US and Canadian immigration, writing articles for Forbes, as well as speaking internationally on the subject.  Visit the C4C website to gain full access to the transcript, show notes, and guest links. Coaching 4 Companies

Jamie Oliver has built a culinary empire. He's a household name in the kitchen, writing 23 cookbooks and selling over 46 million copies. Oliver sprung into the spotlight 25 years ago with ‘The Naked Chef', a BBC Two cooking show that ran for three series. He landed the role after he appeared in the background of a BBC documentary about The River Cafe in Fulham, where he was working as a sous-chef at the time. Oliver told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking that he got lucky. “It was never planned,” he said. “I was never even supposed to be there that day ... Someone called in sick.” 25 years on, Oliver says time has given him a bit more perspective, and he tends to lean more towards experience and wisdom a little more than just enthusiasm. Oliver is currently on tour in Australia, performing live shows to promote his newest cookbook ‘Simply Jamie'. Coming from a humble background, the chef told Hosking he never thought he'd be able to travel internationally in this way. “I never thought I'd get here,” Oliver said. “I just thought it was out of my reach.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a longstanding, widely held belief that the best chance at a better future is to go off to college – especially for people from marginalized communities.Whether it was your teacher, general political rhetoric, or one of many sitcoms that reflect middle class American life, the message was to go to school or risk failure — dismissing millions of people who decided not to go to college and created viable, sustainable careers in trade professions, from manufacturing and welding to plumbing and software engineering.And now, as college costs continue to rise and more people want to develop a sense of financial stability, education and careers in the trades through vocational schools are becoming not only more accepted, but also encouraged across all factors of society. In our latest episode, host Kai Wright talks to ​​Maya Bhattacharjee-Marcantonio, co-founder of The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn, New York, and Eric Kelderman, a senior writer at the Chronicle of Higher Education about the shifting cultural cachet around earning a 4-year college degree. We talk about what motivates some students to pursue vocational education, what this change might mean long-term for Americans across demographics, and why some still prefer a professional path that includes college.Support of WNYC's coverage of economic mobility and opportunity is provided in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

He has four kids: Jordan, Cambria, Olivia, and Andrea. Three of them went onto run in the NCAA and Olivia is currently a professional runner for On and won an NCAA title in the Steeplchase last June. In today's conversation, Ron takes me through his years of running growing up, what training was like back in the day, his legendary recruiting visit to Notre Dame, his years at Notre Dame, transitioning out of the sport, lessons from his successful years at Microsoft, parenting, and much more! This was genuinely one of my favorite conversations I've had this year. It is thoroughly entertaining, while also beingjam-packed with wisdom. The perfect podcast for your next run.

Color outside the lines… What does that mean to you? Sometimes, as leaders, we tend to do things ‘just so.' We may not want to go with the flow or experiment with new ideas.

The reason why Will decides to not look ahead may surprise you.  In this episode, you'll discover…  What is the key trait to winning at work and at home?

I've changed careers twice, which basically means I've got it down to a science. It's absolutely brutal. You deserve the truth. How brutal? This picture of my office popped up in my “memories” on my phone. It's from August 25, 2015, a shade over 9 years ago. 3:43 in the AM. I was knocking off for the evening so I could catch an hour or two of shut-eye before Harley or Ginger started licking my face as if it was their food bowl. That's a whopping 55 (calendar) days after I decided to “change careers” and become a career coach in addition to an executive recruiter. Of course, the long-term plan was to drive the jumbo jet on the runway until liftoff when I could go “all in” on the career coaching thing. I was on the runway for…let's see…carry the seven…a mere 5 years. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Lemme go get Andy Sunshine. Okay, he's back. I'd do it all over again. Anything worthwhile will take a bit of time. Fine, maybe a lot. But it's incredibly rewarding IF and ONLY IF you truly want it badly enough. Ever consider making a change? I like to say, “This world needs more of you, not less. There are people who need you to do what you ache to do. That's the part of you, you need to give them. That's the part of you I'd love to see. That's the part of you the world wants.” (From The Zebra Code, Chapter 21, My Gift to Find Your Gift) Maybe you like the way things are going and are on the right path. Maybe you've thought What if? Either way, today, I have 5 steps I'd suggest if you want to make that change!

Today's guest identifies as a recovered imposter. For years, she was convinced that the only reason she was accepted into a competitive grad school program was because her father knew the program director. One thing research shows is that Dr. Jill Stoddard, psychologist, and author of Imposter No More, isn't alone in this.Deep down, a majority of successful people feel a sense of self doubt and question their professional legitimacy a good amount of the time. In today's conversation we'll dive into Jill's fascinating and important work around this often relatable experience of Imposterism, including:Understanding what it is, why we do it, and how it worksWhy the notion of imposter syndrome is actually a misnomer. We'll explore some of Jill's personal stories and experiences of working through her own imposter thoughts and feelings of self-doubtWhat she's learned from personal experiences as well as through her work as a psychologist running an anxiety clinic. How to work with imposterism - Specifically how strengthening psychological flexibility can ultimately be a way to free ourselves from the experience of being constrained by fear, doubt, and uncertainty. Today's episode is one that I think will be deeply relatable for so many.

Meghan Guffey spent a decade in New York City working in advertising sales and brand partnerships until she eventually settled down in Dallas, TX in 2020 to start a family with her husband Peter. Outside of work, family, fashion, and travel have always been her greatest passions, with Europe serving as her main source of inspiration. Once Meghan became a mom, she channeled her passion for fashion into childrenswear and often found herself shopping across countless websites to find chic, European-inspired styles to match her own personal style. She and friends felt there was no single destination that offered the specific European aesthetic of polished and practical pieces that transition throughout seasons and take your child from playtime to dinner. She found herself seeking out under-the-radar European brands on her travels and via Instagram, but wanted to shop them all in one place. This led her to dream up a European-inspired, highly curated destination built for a discerning female shopper who wants complete outfits, an intuitive and modern user experience, and a seamless checkout. This woman does not want to be inundated with endless new arrivals and brands; rather, she wants a thoughtfully curated assortment, a pleasant experience, and to walk away with pieces that her children can wear on a daily basis. The Bea Colette customer wants her children's style to complement her own. Over the past year, Meghan has worked tirelessly to source and refine the right selection of brands, price points, and styles that make Bea Colette what it is today. We are so grateful to have you on the site and welcome your feedback on the brands and styles you'd like to see! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howdshedothat/support
