Episode Notes

Change, whether voluntary or involuntary, can trigger our deepest fears. In this episode, Matthew Makak and Tanuja Ramchal draw on their personal and professional experiences of transition and change to explore how to navigate intentionally while unshackling from norms which limit our expression as humans.

• How the Western perspective conditions us to view change as an exception, leading us to cling to the status quo for safety
• Seeing yourself as a fixed identity limits your diversity as human and can result in career stagnation + what you can do to allow for greater fluidity
• Why the fear of change never really goes away and how to shift your relationship with that fear so it doesn't stop you
• The way in which a hyper-individualistic approach makes it difficult to take risks in your career
• Why there's nothing wrong with "being all over the place" in your career and the importance of normalizing experimentation and failure
• What you can do to tap into your resourcefulness and share the burden of change with others
