Almost all of us know what it’s like to struggle to stay focused and get work done. And so many of us are plagued by feeling too busy. It’s hard to find time to do all we want or need to do, yet I wonder if part of our busyness problem is actually a distraction problem. In his book, Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life, Nir Eyal writes about the idea of, “people making time for what they want by making a conscious effort to control their time and attention.” So of course I was excited to speak with him about why we should take responsibility and set intentions around how we use our time, why we get distracted in the first place, and why we should be shooting for traction not just focus. Let’s hear what Nir Eyal can teach us about becoming indistractable.

During the pandemic, the cultural tides around work ambition turned. People were over their ambitions. Consider these stats: In 2022, Gartner found that more than 50% of surveyed workers said they were questioning the purpose of their jobs and the role work should play in their lives. Also in 2022, the Mckinsey Health Institute found that one in four employees experienced burnout symptoms. And in mid-2022, 29% of employees who resigned from their jobs said they did so for better work-life balance, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Maybe you recognize yourself in one of those numbers. And yet as we move away from the pandemic, there is a thawing and a movement with people wanting to reclaim their ambition. I’ve been exploring ambition on the podcast for the last two years, and so for the 100th episode, I’m going to look back and reflect on conversations with guests, and how their insights and my research have sharpened my thinking about the three core pillars of Sustainable Ambition: Right Ambition, Right Time, and Right Effort.

Are you called to honor more than one side of yourself in your life and work? Then this episode is for you! You, too, might be an ampersand. Or perhaps we all could be if we weren’t forced to choose. What is an ampersand you might ask? Meet Jessica Wan, an ampersand herself and host of The Ampersand Manifesto podcast. Jessica explains ampersands as those who are multi-passionate, lead double lives, and straddle two completely different worlds. In this conversation, learn more about Jessica’s experience working in two worlds (a career in business and her career as a singer and performer) and the themes she’s gleaned from the podcast interviews of others also leading double lives. Hear her counsel to shift away from feeling like we must choose, and rather to pay attention to what’s calling to you at this moment, allowing yourself to step into a full identity. Jessica - Thank you for championing this movement for the ampersand life! And for encouraging us all to be holistic individuals, embracing multiples sides of ourselves.

“I feel very ambitious even though on the outside my ambition may look very different, but it feels like ambition on my terms.” Yes! That sounds like Sustainable Ambition—ambition that’s rooted in you and on your terms. Today I’m joined by Neha Mandhani, a certified executive leadership coach, for an open, honest conversation on what it’s like to listen and honor oneself, to move through the discomfort of choosing self-authorship, and to step out of the norm onto a path that aligns to your integrity and purpose. Neha is someone who has explored her multiple passions and interests and experimented her way to where she is now. While Neha may feel more alive today than ever, her journey has not been without its fears. She embraces those fears and keeps moving forward, encouraging you and her coaching clients to do the same. You may hear yourself in Neha’s story. And for that reason, I appreciate her parting wisdom for you all—“How is your relationship with yourself? How well are you leading yourself?” What insight might you take from this conversation to get into action and make a positive shift towards stepping into ambition on your terms? I’m so appreciative of you sharing your story with us, Neha. Thank you for your insights and inspiration!

Today I’m joined again by Al Dea, the founder of Betterwork Labs, an organization focused on helping companies create cultures where their people can thrive. Al is an author, speaker, podcast host, and researcher on workplace trends and talent development. I had Al back for a second episode so we could go deeper and get Al’s perspective on Sustainable Ambition. I love how Sustainable Ambition takes on different meanings for different people, and Al shares that for him it’s about having the autonomy and agency to define how and where one wants to be ambitious, defining one’s own success. This aligns with the long-term view of Sustainable Ambition that we talk about and managing one’s life and work from decade to decade aligned with their own desires and sense of fulfillment. In this conversation, we also talk about how the work world historically hasn’t armed people with alternative ways to think about and manage their careers and define their own success, how some companies and thought leaders are innovating to create these new norms, and Al’s counsel for stepping into agency to proactively stay on top of one’s career. Al - This was another great conversation! Thanks for coming back and sharing your career management wisdom with us.

Today I’m joined by Tara McMullin, a writer, podcaster, and producer, to discuss her new book, “What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal-Setting.” Tara has also studied small business owners for over 13 years. She’s been an inspiration to me, and her wisdom has helped tremendously on my own journey of self-employment, getting me to rethink and figure out what works for me. Her book is for anyone looking for a new approach to goal-setting, one that you might find better aligned to who you are and more satisfying, while still producing results. In this conversation, we discuss what brought Tara to rethink her approach to goal setting, the importance of examining one’s life and making conscious choices, the power of reframing towards practice and commitments, and why she’s found the new approach much more satisfying while helping her create substantive results. Tara - I absolutely loved being in conversation with you! And I loved the book and appreciate the perspectives and practices you are offering people to help them live a life and do work that is more in sync with who they are, what they want, and how they want to live in the world.

Are you a hybrid or remote worker? And, did you know that in today’s remote and hybrid work environments that many of us are feeling disconnected from each other? - 72% of employees say they aren’t able to socialize enough when they’re remote (Workplace Intelligence) - 60% of remote workers say WFH (working from home) makes them feel less connected to their colleagues (Pew Research) That’s a problem. Why? Because having friends, relationships, and a community at work has huge benefits! That means each of us needs to be proactive in making connections and friendships at work. In this Sustainable Ambition (SA) Quick Tip, host Kathy Oneto talks about all the benefits and offers tips on how to double down on building your work relationships. The Takeaway: If we choose or have to work from home, over-invest in building relationships. The Action: What’s one action you’ll take today to start or deepen a relationship at work?
