Episode Notes

Regardless of background, we all have a story which shapes us into who we are. When we own that story, it has the power to set us free. On the other hand, our story can also cause us to hide and feel stuck when it's linked to shame.

In this episode, Matthew Makak and Tanuja Ramchal draw on their personal & professional experiences to explore how showing up authentically in your career requires owning your story, including the highs and lows.

Here's what's covered:

• Why shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces and how owning your story creates safety for others to show up authentically
• The reason networking can feel fake and lead to resistance in connecting with professionals in your field
• How the career process can cause you to show up in a sterilized way, hide who you are, and discard rich elements of your story which can be the pathway to a meaningful career
• The difference between arrogance and confidence when sharing about yourself and how thinking you're being humble can actually be a sign of arrogance
• The importance of discerning whom to share with and why you shouldn't share everything with everyone
