Send us Fan MailWhy are other people getting promoted faster than you—even when you're working just as hard?In this episode, **Dr. Jason Wiggins—executive leader, leadership professor, author, and motivational speaker—**breaks down what really drives career growth, promotions, and leadership advancement in today's workplace.If you're a Gen Z or Millennial professional feeling overlooked, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you a clear strategy to take control of your career.Here's the truth: hard work alone doesn't get you promoted—visibility, measurable impact, and leadership thinking do.Too many professionals stay stuck because their effort isn't seen, their impact isn't clearly communicated, and they're operating at the wrong level. Meanwhile, top performers are solving bigger problems, positioning themselves strategically, and building influence before they ever get the title.This episode shows you how to start doing the same—immediately.

Send us Fan MailYou wake up tired. You look at your to-do list. Even the smallest task feels heavy. Then the guilt sets in and you start calling yourself lazy.This episode breaks that pattern and gets to the truth. Burnout is real. It is common. It often goes unnoticed, especially for Gen Z and Millennials trying to keep up in a high-pressure, always-on world.We talk through what burnout actually looks like in everyday life and why pushing harder can make things worse instead of better. Stress does not just come from work or school. It builds from financial pressure, rising costs, job uncertainty, and constant exposure to news and social media.We also get into the mental side of burnout. Comparison, negative self-talk, and the pressure to always do more can drain your energy even when you are supposed to be resting. You are not just tired. You are overloaded.This episode gives you a practical way to reset: Set clear work-life boundaries  Reduce self-criticism and mental pressure  Focus on one or two priorities that actually matter  Build simple, consistent habits that restore energy The most important shift is this: recovery is not something you earn after you prove yourself. It is required if you want focus, motivation, and long-term success.If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself, this is where you start.Subscribe for more content on leadership, career growth, motivation, and mindset for Gen Z and Millennials.

Why mastering unspoken workplace communication is essential to long-term career success.Succeeding at work doesn't just depend on how hard you work or how smart you are. According to Erin McGoff, it often comes down to whether you understand the “secret language” everyone else seems to be speaking.McGoff is a career creator, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and author of The Secret Language of Work: Hyper Helpful Scripts for Every Situation. Known for her wildly popular AdviceWithErin platform, she helps millions of professionals phrase things more effectively — without sounding stiff or robotic. “It's this hidden curriculum to the workforce,” she explains, describing the unwritten rules of interviews, negotiations, and professional etiquette. “It's not written down anywhere. It's not equally distributed.” Her mission is to make those invisible rules visible — and usable.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McGoff and host Matt Abrahams explore how to communicate with confidence, advocate for yourself strategically, and build a professional brand with intention. Confidence, she says, isn't fixed: “Confidence isn't binary. Confidence is a spectrum.” It starts internally, with how we speak to ourselves, and strengthens when we “get really good at what you do.”Episode Reference Links:Erin McGoffErin's Book: The Secret Language of Work202.

What if workplace conflict is not something to avoid, but the very path to healing and high performance?

Susan served in senior HR leadership roles for global organizations including Kellogg's, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Rockwell Automation, and Applied Materials.

Inside, it can be desperation." - Susan Winchester CONNECT WITH SUSAN WINCHESTER

Career growth starts with stepping outside your comfort zone.Building a successful career isn't about following a set path—it's about knowing when to evolve and embracing change. Whitney Johnson believes that success comes from disrupting yourself—challenging routines, stepping into discomfort, and continuously evolving. “People think staying in their comfort zone is the safe choice,” she explains, “but real growth happens when we take intentional risks.”As a bestselling author and leadership expert, Johnson has spent years helping individuals and organizations navigate change. She breaks down the S-curve of learning, a framework that helps professionals recognize when it's time to move on, pivot, or double down on their current path. From identifying signs of stagnation to developing strategies for career reinvention, she shares practical tools for making bold moves with confidence.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Johnson joins host Matt Abrahams to explore why mastery can be a sign that it's time for a change, how to manage the discomfort that comes with growth, and why personal disruption isn't just a challenge—it's the key to long-term success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Whitney JohnsonWhitney's Books: Disrupt Yourself / Smart GrowthEp.147 Disrupt Yourself: How to Innovate Who You Are and Become Who You Can Be  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:36) - What Is Personal Disruption?

Cindy Esliger talks about the trap of the comfort zone and why staying challenged at work is better for long-term success in this episode. While the comfort zone and being at the top of your game feels good, staying there too long can lead to stagnation. Cindy discusses why setting goals and learning new skills is key to our career progression.  While there's nothing wrong with doing what we do best, just staying at that level and excelling eventually leads to some things we might not want. We shift from thriving to just maintaining the status quo. When we have too much stability, we aren't pushed to try new things and we get complacent, even start doubting our ability to advance. Cindy points out why it's better to be challenged and learn, especially once we reach the top of our game.Cindy delves into the benefits of challenges, not just professionally but personally. Continuously pushing forward is what keeps us sharp. She details five ways we can mitigate career stagnation and keep pushing: 1) Focus on why, 2) Find a new challenge outside of work, 3) Stop waiting for permission, 4) Address internal barriers, and 5) Create a personal development plan. Join Cindy as she guides us through career advancement by way of constant challenge. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Staying Challenged and EngagedAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Cindy Esliger addresses what to do when incentives for recognition or advancement in our workplaces are not in alignment with how we work. Sometimes doing everything we think is right isn't enough and we seem to be missing out on promotions or rewards. In those workplaces, the incentive structure is broken and we need to understand how to recognize the pitfalls and find alignment. This episode is a guide to how to manage this misalignment to advance to the careers we truly want. Cindy identifies three examples of what can go wrong if we don't recognize and adjust to the incentive misalignment in our workplace: 1) Work ethic erodes, 2) Pressure builds, and 3) We doubt ourselves. She explores what can be done if we're stuck in a system that doesn't value the right things and lays out five guidelines to focus on. 1) Set personal goals, 2) Document achievements, 3) Network internally and externally, 4) Manage energy, not just time, and 5) Learn the unwritten rules.Why do misaligned systems still exist? There are many reasons that Cindy explores but the fact remains that if we're stuck in one of those systems, we need to ensure that the broken system doesn't break us. Focus on what is in our control and take care of personal achievement and performance goals. Cindy's advice lets us know how to be good at our jobs and also recognize what is rewarded in our specific workplace systems so we can tackle both. The better we learn strategy, the more we're set up for future success. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Rethinking Workplace SuccessAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email
