Meet Tim. It’s Friday night, and Tim is still at the office, grappling with a harsh reality. Earlier in the day, he discovered his colleague, with just two years at the company, received the promotion Tim had been striving for. To top it off, his phone buzzes with missed calls and a breakup text from his girlfriend of four years: “It’s over.” Tim, an engineer at a major tech company, has dedicated six years of relentless effort to his job, with only one promotion to show for it. His devotion to work has come at a significant personal cost. Just this Monday, Tim was confident about his senior manager interview. He put work first, staying late every night, convinced it would all pay off. But now, with his colleague’s promotion and his relationship in ruins, Tim feels devastated and burnt out. Zach White, founder of Oasis of Courage and host of The Happy Engineer Podcast, could offer Tim invaluable guidance on managing burnout, advancing his career, and restoring work-life balance. In this episode, Jay sits down with Zach White to discuss Tim’s story. Zach shares insights on achieving career success while maintaining personal fulfillment, stressing the importance of clarity, progress, and aligning with core values. They explore practical tools like the "Wheel of Life" to help Tim and others navigate challenges, working toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Tune in to this episode to discover actionable strategies to transform your work and life.
