What it Means to “Do the Work”
I just got back from speaking at Brené Brown’s Courage Camp, and today I want to talk about what I mean when I say “hustle” and “do the work.”
Topics discussed in this periscope:
- The backlash against “the hustle” and what we mean when we say “do the work”
- How the work looks different for everyone
- How to handle your inner gremlins when it’s time to do the work
- Polarity mapping: Embracing the AND between work and play
- Noticing the warning signs of when you’re not embracing the “and” (especially as rest)
- Scheduling white space
- The difference between understanding the importance of something and actually embracing it
KATHLEEN SAID:
'Doing the work is not about looking outside for external validation.' Share on X 'For me, doing the work always starts with one person, one conversation, one client, one offering.' Share on X 'Let's embrace the 'and.'' Share on XResources mentioned in this Periscope:
