“Hi Hann! I am getting ready to leave my nine-year job, and I’m feeling tremendous guilt, like I’m letting everyone down by leaving. Any words of wisdom? -The Loyal Leaver” Hey Loyal Leaver, I see this a lot, especially with long-term tenured employees. I call it "Loyal Soldier Syndrome." Loyal Soldier Syndrome is when employees stay loyal, overcommitted, or overly grateful to a company or leader who has offered basic support, even when the organization no longer aligns with their values, well-being, or growth. You’re breaking an old loyalty contract that says: “If I keep giving, I’ll stay safe, liked, and valuable.” Here’s the reframe I want you to sit with: What if leaving isn’t the problem? What if staying past your expiration date was? Ask yourself: What am I sacrificing by staying? Is this guilt or fear of being perceived as ungrateful? Am I honoring myself or just managing other people’s emotions? Guilt often shows up when you begin prioritizing your needs over a system that benefited from your self-abandonment. This is the type of inner work we do inside The Life & Work Transformation, so you can begin honoring yourself and your needs FIRST, and build a career second.

The thing that drives me insane in corporate communication? ✨ Vague. Requests. ✨ Poeple think they are being nice and supportive, but often times they are bing unclear, vague, and confusing. This week on the podcast, I break down one of my favorite tools: Non-Violent Communication. Specifically, Step 4: Make a clear, direct request. If you don’t name what you need, you’ll never get it. Say it plainly. Here are some vague requests I’ve heard recently, and how to clean them up: ❌ “I need you to be more supportive.” ✅ “When I’m presenting in meetings, it would help me feel more confident if you chimed in to back up the strategy when stakeholders push back.” ❌ “Are you overwhelmed?” ✅ “I noticed the client email went unanswered for a week. In future, can you reply within 24 hours?” 🎧 If you want more, listen to the latest episode of the BFD podcast: https://lnkd.in/gUUTrH5B — 🌏 Repost this to help someone in your community. 🔑 Want more? 1.

There is one phrase that makes me die a little inside whenever I hear it from clients: “I’m just going to be selfish.” That’s a quote I’ve heard many times over the years after coaching hundreds of people in tech. Yet, I’ve never once had a client describe something that fits the definition of selfishness. Selfishness = lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. Usually, when people talk about being selfish, they mean self-honoring. What self-honoring looks like: →Saying no to one more meeting so you can sleep. →Cancelling dinner because you feel emotionally fried. →Turning down a work trip because you haven’t seen your kids all week. Last week in The Life & Work Transformation, we discussed the difference between selfish and self-honoring, and what a life looks like when you prioritize healthy relationships, a career you love, and your health. One of the big questions I get is ‘how’ do you become more self-honoring and learn to prioritize yourself, but without the guilt and shame that you’re letting people down? That’s why I created The Life & Work Transformation. So people can begin getting comfortable and confident honoring themselves to build lives and careers that look good and FEEL good. In the last few cohorts, I watched clients: 💥 Switch industries 💥 Launch businesses 💥 Fall back in love with their careers 💥 Recover from years of burnout All by learning to self-honor. The next cohort starts on Monday, July 7th. There are only two days left to join. Book a call here: https://lnkd.in/gw3s-AmZ — 🌏 Repost this to help someone in your community. 🔑 Want more? 1.

After coaching 200+ people in tech over the past few years, I’ve seen the same three challenges destroy confidence and keep people stuck in careers they don’t love. These challenges aren’t what you think and aren’t solved by promotions, more money, or even therapy. In this video, I break down the patterns and how I help people shift out of them in my program The Life & Work Transformation. The next cohort starts on Monday July 7. We were already 50% full before I announced it publicly. This week is your last chance to join. Book a call here → https://lnkd.in/gw3s-AmZ https://lnkd.in/gD7v5-rx

I asked my clients what’s changed since joining my program, The Life & Work Transformation. It’s halfway through one of the cohorts. Here’s what they said: →“This program helped me realize: It’s not my job to fix everything at work. Just do my job and let leadership see what they need to see. And they have.” →“After our coaching, I finally admitted I needed a break. I stopped trying to do three roles at once and started setting boundaries.” →“For the first time, I don’t just believe the voice that says I’m not doing enough. I can hear it and respond to it, instead of running myself into the ground.” →“The values work helped me get intentional about how I spend my time and money. I’m not just mindlessly scrolling or over-giving. I’m acting from what actually matters to me.” I love my program The Life & Work Transformation because it’s highly practical. It’s not just some self-awareness BS; it’s the tools that work to change your life. So that you can stand up for yourself. So that you can build a career that feels good instead of one where you overgive and overfunction. The next round is starting July 7th. It’s 50% full. If you want to finally stop people pleasing in your life and career and start standing up for yourself with conviction and pride, this course is for you.

This feels a little weird to say, but lately I’ve been deprioritizing my value of ambition. I’ve sacrificed many things at the altar of professional success. This value has helped me achieve a lot, but has also caused a lot of pain (illness, comparison, burnout, etc). So, I wanted to experiment on changing my value of ambition and instead prioritizing my value of creativity. I’ve been writing a fiction novel for a few years, but I haven’t dedicated much time to it. Fiction writing quenches a thirst inside of me that professional achievement doesn’t. I rented a Tiny Home for a few days to work on my novel. No internet connection. Barely any phone service. Just me, my novel, a tiny home, and some cows (the home was on a farm). I felt at peace for many reasons, but a large one being that I was actively making choices that supported my value of creativity. This week on the podcast, I break down how to change your values, and talk about how it can be uncomfortable but worth it. 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/g5bCd_E3 – 🌏 Repost this to help someone in your community. 🔑 Want more? 1.
