The Corporate Cleanse
Hi, I’m Jen, and I sold my soul to corporate ladder climbing, a big salary, the fancy exec title, and corporate gold stars (which, as it turns out, are mostly company t-shirts and crisp high fives). Where did I find myself? Flat on my ass—needing a serious detox from corporate life. Join me as we discuss rebuilding your soul after the corporate charm has worn off (and maybe how to navigate corporate climbing while keeping some of your soul). We’ll also discuss rebuilding your identity, resetting your relationship with money, speaking up without being an asshole, and finding and keeping your calm—and, ultimately, finding success and self-love through it all.
The Corporate Cleanse
Do you have to be passionate about your job?
How many companies do you come across that claim "we're making the world a better place" or "we take care of xyz so you can focus on what matters in life"?
It’s also a question almost all of us are asked in the interview process “why do you want to work for xyz company” and this is usually a test on whether you’ve done your research by looking up the company website, consumed what they say is their mission/vision and whether that resonates enough for you to work there — whether that resonates enough for you to do the best work of your life so you can assure this recruiter/hiring manager that you will do the best work of your life because your motivators aren’t selfish things like money, security, job satisfaction — your motivators are altruistic because you genuinely want to help do whatever the company mission is whether you’re paid or not.
Is this required? We dive into this idea of being passionate about your job and whether it's realistic, possible, or good for you.
