  • Episode 45 - How to make career envy work in your favour
    May 8 2024

    On this week's episode of Career Espresso, I'll explore the concept of career envy and how it can hold you back from making progress in your own career.


    If career envy has got you firmly stuck in a rut, the first thing to know is that you don't have to stay there. Owning the envy is the initial push and then knowing you don't have to be a prisoner, nor are you trapped in your current career. You may not actually want the job, of the person you've really got this envy, that chief target, but you may want a need or even deserve a new job yourself. Take that career envy energy and make it work for you.


    We'll cover the definition of envy and I'll be providing prompts to help you recognise your envy triggers and deal with the emotions that they stir up. This includes a 3 step process to follow next time you are struggling with career envy.
