Stay Authentically Connected to Your Goals with Leadership Expert, Melissa Hartley

E141 • Sep 16, 2020 • 43 mins

In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge speaks with Melissa Hartley about the impact of COVID-19 on talent management and career paths. They discuss dealing with collective grief, career stagnation, burnout, and the importance of aligning personal values with organizational objectives. The conversation also covers motivation, leadership adaptation, redefining success, and the role of self-compassion in goal setting. Finally, Melissa offers advice for CEOs and senior management.

Key Points

  • People are experiencing a collective grieving process due to the abrupt changes in their work lives and the loss of pre-COVID normalcy, which requires acknowledgment and processing to move forward effectively.
  • Leaders are encouraged to stay present, communicate openly with their teams, and allow flexibility in goals and expectations to navigate the ongoing uncertainties brought about by the pandemic.
  • Individuals feeling stuck in their careers should redefine what success means to them, focusing on what energizes them and being compassionate with themselves about timelines in light of the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19.

e’re now into our 6th month of COVID! Some of us are still working from home, some are just going back to the office and others have been on the front line the entire time. This got me thinking about everyone whose goals have been put on the back burner in this time of uncertainty and is it possible to keep our future dreams alive while the present is in such turmoil? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Melissa Hartley to share her wisdom and thoughts on how to stay connected with your goals while coping with the uncertainty of what our new normal will look like and when it may happen.
