In this episode of Shut Down, Not Shaken, Cristin Candice explores 10 common beliefs about work that many of us inherited from previous generations, beliefs that may no longer serve us in today’s changing world of work. She walks through each belief (for example, “loyalty guarantees security,” “you have to be twice as good,” “visibility = value”) and offers new perspectives aligned with modern workplaces. Through this conversation, Cristin invites listeners to reflect on which beliefs they’ve internalized and how they can unlearn and replace them with ideas that support their purpose, autonomy, and well-being.
