Episode 39 - How to create your best work (regardless of your job) with Joy Spencer
Description
“Your work is not your job or your career. Your work is what you create. And what you create is what sets you apart and is the unique contribution that is your legacy.” – Joy Spencer
Joy Spencer is a coach, speaker, and organizational development consultant who works with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations. She hosts the podcast Reframe to Create, and is the founder of Joy Spencer coaching, where she helps leaders sharpen the most important instrument they have for fostering change and developing teams—their own personal development and transformational growth through the art of storytelling.
Joy’s passion for storytelling is to ultimately help people see themselves differently so that they can reframe their understanding of success away from a focus on being productive to a new commitment to being creators who continuously use their gifts to create beautiful things and experiences they can offer in service.
Topics we cover:
- Why your job does not define you! And why your potential to build a meaningful body of work isn’t dependent on your job.
- Why having to “pay the bills” shouldn’t stop you from doing the work that really matters to you.
- The benefit of serving fewer people, and why having a small audience shouldn’t stop you.
- The problems with productivity culture, and how to opt-out of it.
- Why the process of making something is just as valuable as the product, and how to “fall back in love” with the process of making things.
- Why you should embrace being a rebel, or being seen as “weird” or different as you eschew productivity norms.
- The art of the reframe, and a new way to think about parameters and limitations.
- How to reorient your life around the things that light you up.
- Plus, quick tips to help you make time for your creative practice and meaningful work — even if you have a busy schedule and minimal time or energy
