You’re good at what you do. You’ve achieved your goals, you’re well rewarded and people see you as one of the best in your field. You’re not unhappy. And yet, after ten or twenty years in the same company, role or sector, a quieter question keeps coming back: is this what I want for the rest of my working life?

In this episode I talk about the stuck expert: someone whose experience has become the very thing that keeps them stuck, because it’s all they know. I look at why the can’t I always speaks about the past, why searching for your job title keeps leading you back to where you already are, and why the more useful questions are about who you are rather than what you do.

• Why being an expert can make it harder to imagine yourself anywhere else
• Why “I’ve never...” says nothing about what you could do next
• Why searching for your job title or your CV keeps leading you back to where you already are
• Three questions to take to a notebook, for five minutes a day or half an hour a week:
• Think of your best days at work. What were you doing, who were you with, and what made them good?
• What must be there in your next role for you to look forward to Monday morning?
• Away from work, what are you naturally drawn to, and who do you most enjoy helping?

If this sounds like someone you know, please share it with them. I’d love to help as many people as possible find the fulfilment and freedom that come from living in line with their values.
