Today, we address a question that many professionals have when they take on a new job, a new position, or even a new employer: how can I excel in a new role while also meeting my personal needs?

Kim Van Lue is the CEO, Talent Development Consultant, and Executive Coach of North Spring Leadership Consulting, where she works with leaders in large and small organizations to make their teams more effective.

In this episode of Shedding the Corporate Bitch, Kim shares her advice for getting clear about what it is that you want from your job, how to find alignment between an organization's values and your own, and prevent dissonance when it comes to expectations.

There is a world in which you can take both business needs and your personal needs into consideration without sacrificing one for the other. Remember, no one has a bigger impact on your experience of a new role than you do!

By doing the self-discovery work to find out what you actually want and how you can best tend to your own needs, you can avoid the cycle of self-doubt and overwhelm that many high achievers fall into and turn your job into everything you want it to be (and more)!
