When everything feels stuck, the reorgs, the missed promotions, the gnawing sense that your effort isn’t matching your outcomes, it’s easy to spiral into frustration and self-doubt. It’s a frustrating loop that plays on repeat.

You start asking:

• “Why is this happening to me?”
• “Why do others get ahead when I’m giving everything?”
• “Why am I not being recognized?”

But here’s the thing: These “why” questions are the real villain. They keep you trapped in reflection without direction, circling the same drain of frustration.

The moment you shift your focus, everything changes. Imagine trading that looping frustration for a clear, actionable path forward.

This episode reveals how the questions you ask dictate the results you get. You’ll discover:

• Why “why” questions sabotage your progress and keep you stuck
• How to instantly shift your energy and attention toward possibility
• The one simple link between better questions and decisive leadership
• Why clarity follows decision, not the other way around

If you’re in a season of career confusion, change, or stagnation, this episode will help you reconnect with your power and start designing what’s next with intention.

Stop asking for answers and start building outcomes.

Because when you start asking better questions, you don’t just get better answers, you unlock better outcomes.
