169: How To Win the Job You Want When You've Lost the Job You Need, with Fawn Germer

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!

“If you’ve got the highest salary in the room because you’ve been there the longest, and you’re delivering less value than a fresh graduate or a Millennial who will work for half of what you’re getting, you’ve got a problem.” - Fawn Germer

Millions of accomplished professionals are killing their careers by accidentally slipping into irrelevance. They can’t figure out why they’ve sputtered out, been pushed aside or pushed out. Today’s Finding Brave guest interviewed more than 300 CEOs, senior executives, workplace experts, academics, lawyers and professionals and found out that we must immediately stage a career comeback – even if we continue to do our best work and are the best person for our job today.

Best-selling author and Pulitzer nominee Fawn Germer shows how to stop blaming everything from millennials to the pace of change to age discrimination and take doable steps to get back in the game and win. This acclaimed leadership speaker asks: "What if your greatest success hasn't even happened yet?"

In today’s episode, Fawn shares actionable strategies for being flexible and resilient in the face of a quickly changing work environment. She even reveals ways in which she has needed to be brave and “figure things out” in her own career, and these lessons show the importance of just starting to learn essential new skills, and having fun in the process.
