You want to feel seen, heard and accepted.

You want to feel appreciated

And you want to feel like you’re doing the right thing.

But when FOPO (Fear Of Overvaluing Other People’s Opinions) creeps in, you cave.

Putting ultimate goals of happiness and fulfillment aside

Devaluing the accolades you worked for

Discounting the achievements you earned

Why?

You listened to them, but that led you to staying stuck.

Our guest this week is Erica Rooney is a stuck expert, keynote speaker and author of

You ask what are sticky floors?

Short answer, you don’t

But in the episode you’ll find out:

> How to use the SNAP framework to manage it

If you’re seeking job security, it’s gone. Long gone.

That means that you're in charge.

Your career is YOUR business.

No business can survive with outdated systems, an ill informed team or strategy that doesn’t meet today’s demands.

Same for you.

This week I share some of my interview with TJ Bennett, host of The DesuckifyWork® Podcast.

We talk about my mission to end career victimization and how you can free yourself from it with:

• Examples of sticky story telling.
• The truth behind the ATS
• Why being qualified doesn’t make you hireable
• How to replace job security with career adaptability
• And what it means to stay relevant in your career

Because here's the thing: You're going to live longer than you think.

The question isn't whether you'll find another job.

The question is: What are you going to do with the next 10, 15, 20 years of your life?

Over the past five years there has been a significant increase in corporate issuing performance incentive plans (up 20+)

But are Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) there to help you improve or are they

insidious tactics used by employers to manage you out of your position?

• How has their original intent changed over time?
• What are the subtle signs that yours may be coming?
• Who should you go to?
• What should you do about it before it’s too late?
• What does “at will” really mean?
• How do you take care of your mental well being when you’re in the midst of it and after?

Our guest this week is Employee Advocate Consultant, Dan Goodman.

He saw through the PIP myth 30 years ago and noticed something that most people overlook:

The gap between what employers promise and what they deliver isn't just unfair - it's wrong.

Here's the thing:

Most employees don't need a lawyer. They need a guide.

Someone who can shine a light on the dark corners where "performance improvement plans" mask their real intent, where "you must sign this today" creates artificial urgency.

He decodes corporate doublespeak into what you need to hear.
