Wish you a happy July 4th! 🇺🇸

Do you fear success?

This sounds odd, I know. But - hear us out. It’s more common than you may think. For instance, it’s natural to have a fear of the unknown or the idea that you have to meet expectations. Heck, you may even feel like you don’t want to let others down.

So where does this show up? It happens all over our jobs. It may be easier to avoid the promotion, big project, or even apply to a new job. Plus, there’s a comfort in knowing your current conditions. You may have a challenging colleague or terrible work life balance but the fear of success could still be more powerful.

If you’ve ever experienced any of these, you’re not alone! We’re here to help you through it and are excited to welcome you to this week’s show 🤩

Join The Gov Geeks this Thursday at 6 EST to learn more. Plus, we’ll answer your questions from the Gov Geekdom - so send in your questions today!

Saying no at work can be harder than it seems. When your boss assigns you more assignments than you can handle, it’s easier to grin and bear it then slowly resent them later!

But then the building workload can crush other opportunities and honestly really wreak havoc on your health. So how do you manage it while still staying on good terms with your supervisor? By learning how to say no 😎

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to balance work requirements, grow your career, and improve your work relationships- this show is for you!

Let us know what motivates you for our upcoming LIVE episode!

What motivates you? Besides money, job security, and necessary benefits- what keeps you at your job?

If your answer to staying in your job is fear-based, how could your life be better by being joy-based? It’s possible!
