Carolina de Arriba

Okay, my turn to answer your questions.

I'm gonna answer three questions that came through that little survey form.

I want to remind you again that you can submit your questions at any time.

I'm going to put the link on the show notes of today's podcast episode.

As you're listening to me talking to you every week and you have questions, just submit them.

And on the last episode of the month, I promise I'm going to take time like today to answer your questions.

So let's start with question number one.

It says, I'm in the wrong role, but I can't quit.

What do I do?

All right, this was by far the most common question I got this month, which I was a little bit surprised, to be honest.

I got a lot of questions saying, hey, Carolina, I did the energy audit.

I see that I'm spending 70%, sometimes 80% of my time in my excellence work zone.

Work that I'm good at, but that's completely draining me.

And I can't see a way to change it.

Do I just have to quit?

No, you don't have to quit, but you do have to do something.

Here's how I think about this.

First, you need to figure out, is this a role problem or a ratio problem?

Let me explain what I mean.

A role problem means this role is structurally incompatible with your energy.
