GROW #5: Unleash Your Potential WITHOUT Sacrificing Your Mental Health

Episode Summary

We rarely show how much we struggle at work: The labels, pressure to perform—we want to be somebody so badly that we deny ourselves any support. The fear of being vulnerable, a sign of "weakness" hinders us. I'm passionate about "finding my purpose" through my work, but I used to readily accept self-descruction as the price that I had to pay for it. I don't buy into it anymore. Philipp and how discuss how purpose, infinite mindset, and taking risk improves your mental health at work.

Episode Notes

We can unleash our potential without sacrificing our health, if we're open to

• uncovering how labels influence and limit us,
• learning about the different systems and games at play in life,
• prioritizing who you want to become rather than fixating on milestones.

Key Insights & Topics Discussed:

1. Redefining Self-Worth Beyond Work: Our self-worth should not be solely tied to our work or  achievements. The world brings uncertainty, and our identities should transcend traditional career definitions. 
2. Shifting from Finite to Infinite Games: Recognize the difference between finite and infinite games in life. Traditional career paths represent finite games with winners and losers, while embracing an infinite mindset allows for continuous personal growth. Shift your mindset from pursuing finite achievements to enjoying the journey and embracing the infinite possibilities for personal and professional development.
3. Building Trust for Meaningful Relationships Fosters Growth: Meaningful connections in the workplace require trust. Superficial relationships hinder growth, and trust is crucial for opening up, sharing, and navigating challenges together.
4. Balancing Growth and Patience: The pursuit of growth is essential for happiness, but impatience can lead to stress and burnout. Finding the right balance involves slowing down, being patient with oneself, and making choices aligned with current life situations. Strive for growth but be mindful of pacing.
