Tammy Alvarez, Gen X, joins Yo to discuss her new book, Escaping the Career Trap, Transform Your Apathy, a self-leadership blueprint for high achievers who want to experience true career fulfillment. Tammy is the CEO of the Career Winners Circle, author, professional keynote speaker, inspirational coach, and former corporate executive.  Her spirited “Break All the Rules” approach blends C-Suite experience with a pragmatic, results-based coaching style that helps business professionals create a big impact and love every Monday again.  Tammy’s book is written for people who feel disenfranchised and the “so what” is this: when you start to become the CEO of “You Inc.”, everything changes.  Topics Covered:       Research findings around apathy      How to transform apathy or “just good enough” phase       Being the CEO of your career        Beyond personal branding       Aligning companies & personal employee ambitions        Personal exploration of our passion       Skills to build resilience by failing successfully (experimental mindset)   3 Episode Takeaways   1.   We can break the career trap cycle by knowing what we do want to do, what we love doing, what we want to do next, and why you want to do it. If we find those things that are so natural for us and needed elsewhere, that’s where the magic happens. 2.   The Gartner research determined that 80% of respondents came back satisfied with their job and only 20% came back caring about what they do. When you connect your personal ambition to your personal aspiration with the company’s goals, individuals are more fulfilled and companies thrive. 3.   What if we treated our “frenemies” as our best customer or negotiate when new work comes along? We could be seen as a stronger leader.
