About this episode

Jac and Ral discuss the importance of aligning personal values with career choices to achieve job satisfaction.

Feeling tension, friction, or total exhaustion at work, but can’t quite put your finger on why? It might not be the workload… it might be a misalignment of values. In this episode of Keeping it Real , Jac and Ral tackle the real culprit behind career unhappiness, when your personal values clash with your job, your leadership, or even your clients. Sharing raw, firsthand experiences, they break down why staying in a role just for the money isn’t sustainable and how knowing your core values is the ultimate career cheat code. Ral shares why she walked away from a highly lucrative opportunity with the tobacco industry and Jac breaks down a coaching session with a high-earning executive eyeing a role in the gambling industry, using a simple social scenario to expose severe values misalignment. Stop grinding in silence and start aligning your work with who you actually are.
