In this Workday Playdate, Erin tackles one of the most searched topics at work: feeling stuck in your career. This episode explains how being stuck is a signal. And when you learn how to read it, you can start making small, intentional moves that shift your entire trajectory.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Is this it?” or felt torn between comfort and craving something more, this conversation gives you a practical framework to stop overthinking and start moving forward.
Feeling Stuck Isn’t the Problem
Burnout, disengagement, and lack of clarity are more common than you think—and they’re not signs you’ve failed. Erin reframes feeling stuck as data. It’s feedback pointing you toward what’s no longer working and what needs to change.
Energy Before Strategy
You can’t think your way out of burnout. Before making any big career decisions, Erin emphasizes resetting your energy. When your energy shifts, your perspective expands, and better decisions follow.
The “Improv Your Way Out” Framework
Instead of waiting for clarity, Erin introduces a five-step method to help you take action now.
Create Your Next Career Identity
Growth requires stepping into a new version of yourself. Erin explains how adopting a new “character” helps align your actions with who you want to become.
Upgrade Your Environment
Your surroundings matter more than you think. The people around you either expand your thinking or keep you stuck. Erin shares why upgrading your circle can accelerate your growth.
Your Freebie
You don’t need to fake a good attitude to be a great leader. But chances are, you’ve been taught to push through instead of reset.
