Your Most Important Job Is To Know Yourself

We’ve covered a lot of ground in the last 7 seasons of The Stop Hating Mondays Podcast, from how to find your passion to how to weigh a career change and, just last season, what to do when you get a job offer. Despite focusing mostly on work-related questions, one clear thread has emerged, and it has nothing to do with work.
The answer to almost every question we receive can be broken down to an elemental truth: your most important job is to know yourself.
For those of you who have listened to more than a few episodes, you already know this. We constantly beat the drum of self-discovery and personal development. But we’ve yet to dedicate a full season to the topic of knowing yourself.
So, welcome to Season 8.
Let’s face it, your personality determines so much in the workplace. Personality can affect your promotability and pay. It can mean the difference between feeling perfectly fine or completely demotivated by a corporate decision. And it can determine how you’ll navigate being an individual contributor, team member, and leader.
Knowing yourself is the key to all personal and professional success, so it’s time to really dig in. Our hope is that this season inspires you to continue your journey of self-discovery or, if you’ve yet to get on that path, to start the journey. Again, it’s your most important job.
