Are Things Really So Bad?



On What’s Your Work Fit we pose this question: Are Things Really So Bad?

Answering that question and others is our guest, Geoff Woliner.

Geoff is comedian by trade who turned his craft into a company called “Winning Wit” which provides speechwriting and corporate event leadership services.

He’s also the author of The Path to Perfecta and an executive producer and host of his own live show on LinkedIn. As Geoff describes his superpower: I turn contracted, painful energy into joyful, expansive energy.

Our question this week was posed by Annika, a senior member of her leadership team. She says that she entered the workforce years ago during a particularly bad recession.

Out of college, it took her several months to connect with her first job, and many years to pay off her student loans. Things were never easy, and yet she learned to persevere through every inflationary and recessionary cycle, coming through each crisis stronger and more resilient. 

Annika has on her team several late Millennial and Gen Z members who seem unsettled by the stresses in their work and daily lives. And she laments, some of them are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.

She wants to help younger teammates reframe their experiences to succeed through the difficult challenges and circumstances that they will face in their careers. But first, Annika asks Geoff: Are Things Really So Bad?

During this information packed episode, we revisit Geoff’s answer to the question “what’s your work fit?’ His personal vision surely will resonate with many career professionals.

How Do I Keep My Boss From Invading My ME Time?



On What’s Your Work Fit we pose this viewer question: How Do I Keep My Boss From Invading My ME Time?

Our guest is Geoff Woliner.

Geoff is the executive producer and host of the entertaining 40 Going on 4 live show on LinkedIn. He is also an author, motivational speaker, and consultant who leverages humor for organizational team-building.

This week’s lead question was posed by What’s Your Work Fit? viewer Helen:

Helen is a marketing operations manager at a hospitality company. Helen’s work can be very intense, she says “it’s like juggling axe handles and bowling balls.” She is good at her job and, to make sure things don’t go BOOM, she’s built redundancies into her work, with dependable people and processes, that ensure excellent quality control.

Helen manages her day well and strives to make work a wonderful part of a day doing other wonderful things, a work fit.

But Helen’s boss knows no boundaries. He’s made her cancel dentist visits and hair appointments, and worse, she had to miss her kid’s first swim practice. Helen is frustrated, especially since she’s already cancelled two hair appointments on short notice. Her stylist says she’ll fire Helen as a client after a third cancellation.

Helen likes her job, but in frustration she asks: How do I keep my boss from invading my ME time?

During this information packed episode, Geoff also answers “what’s your work fit?’ His personal vision surely will resonate with many career professionals.
