He was on his way to a Chicago medical center where he worked as an Executive in healthcare administration. As he glanced at fellow commuters that passed him on the sidewalk, he realized they all carried the same feelings on their face: unhappiness, resentfulness, defeat.\nTaking in the energy of that morning commute made him have a sudden realization...he didn\u2019t really like his job either. Sure, it seemed like the perfect job on paper: fancy title, great pay and benefits, and he could even walk to work!\nBut he knew deep down, he was called to serve elsewhere and he knew that other people had this same problem. That\u2019s when LFY Consulting was created. Ben now helps business professionals who feel stuck or unfulfilled at work just like he did.\nIn this episode, we get into topics such as creating novelty in your life, taking control of your job satisfaction, and the importance of self-leadership.\nIf you are doubting your current path, this is the perfect episode for you.\n\u00a0\nKey Takeaways:\n[4:29] How Ben creates novelty in his life amongst his daily structure\n[9:12] The story of Ben launching his coaching practice\n[13:42] How to enjoy your job more with job crafting\n[20:30] What managers are missing that lead to turnover\n[26:43] The most important leader you\u2019ll ever meet: yourself\n[34:30] ABCs of change\n\u00a0\nFavorite Quotes:\n[3:16] \u201cI try to live a life that has routine and structure within it but also novelty.
