Whether you call it your saboteur, sabotaging voice, or inner critic, we have all fallen prey to our critical internal voice. There’s so much literature about the effect of ignoring that internal voice, and today, we’re switching things up and giving you tips and strategies to confront that voice head-on and reclaim your power. 

In my conversation this week, my guest, Sarah Benenson Goldberg, breaks down how to manage your sabotaging voice and the importance of having a vision for yourself.

Sarah is a seasoned consultant, coach, and communication expert focusing on developing influential and high-performing leaders who want to thrive in complex global environments. She brings a unique blend of strategic and empathetic insight to her clients’ roles as leaders. With a commitment to growing the whole person, Sarah supports clients in heightening self-awareness while embracing strengths and uncovering potential blind spots. Her coaching process focuses on adopting the mindset of a leader and evolves to include leadership behaviors, communication skills, and strategic thinking. 

The key takeaway from our conversation is that managing your sabotaging voice starts with awareness of your thoughts and feelings that generate your behaviors. Being a leader starts with doing the internal work first.

Here’s the episode at a glance:

• [02:09] There’s a big distinction between having a vision and a plan, and everything starts with the vision. 
• [10:13] Myers Briggs captures the most innate and authentic you, and deep down inside your core, you don’t change.
• [12:57] Everyone has a sabotaging voice, and the best way to deal with it is to manage it. And it all starts with raising that voice to intense consciousness and noticing what happens in your body when your sabotaging voice speaks up. 
• [19:03] One of the questions is, how do you know when you’ve gotten to perfect? Do you have a checklist? The first piece is to recognize there is no such thing as perfect.
• [20:44] Often, we hold ourselves back from offering an idea or opinion because we’re so worried about being judged. We forget that whether the idea is good or bad, or somewhere in the middle, it’s often a springboard for somebody else’s idea. 
• [23:54] Recognizing your sabotaging voice starts with being familiar with the themes that come up. 
• [25:12] Your saboteur only lives in the past and future, not in the present. When you keep telling yourself, “If only I had done that, or why  was I so stupid?” The future is “What if this happens? What if they don’t like me? What if I fail?” It’s all the what-ifs. When you are in the present, the saboteur doesn’t live there. Bring yourself to the present; literally, put your feet on the floor and feel the weight of your feel. Put your hand where you’re feeling the tension of your clenched jaw or your stomach dropping.
• [28:33] Confidence and empowerment is the greatest tool to back our saboteur. 
• [33:06] Having a vision is critical. It doesn’t have to be well-formed. It’s just a vision you always want to be moving towards.
• [35:43] Often, our sabotaging voice stops us from having a vision. It might be saying, “Oh, you could never do that.”

On My Job Here Is Done podcast, this is the one about the (dreaded?) personality test. You've all heard about these, and a lot of you have taken one ... or you will soon! 

Personality tests or assessments are designed to try to get into your head and see what's really in there. They claim to be able to profile you into several different categories or traits to be compared to other people. The original purpose of these tests was to help a person understand themselves better, but lately, they are also being used to determine if you're a good "fit" for a job.

Did the last part of that sentence scare you? It should have! There is a lot of troubling stuff here, and we discuss that and more in this episode.

Now don't get us wrong, we are not anti-personality-assessment people - in fact, you'll learn by listening to the show that we took a very popular version of one of these tests, the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator, and we found it was spot on for both of us! When these tests are used in the right setting and for the proper purpose, they can be enormously helpful both in a business setting and for personal use. 

It's using them in the wrong setting, that's got our panties in a bunch. We think, in general, that these tests have no place in pre-employment screening - yet - and we give you the reasons why we feel that way in this My Job Here Is Done podcast episode. We also touch on the new types of video tests that watch your facial expressions and attempt to figure you out by the way you react to questions as opposed to just how you'd answer them.

We hope you enjoy the episode - feel free to leave us comments on the website.

Here is where we obtained some of our research into the field of Personality testing for the show:

A good source of general research
This is from NBC News
And this from the New Yorker
Wikipedia on Myers Briggs
Harvard Business Review has this take on the subject
HR Daily Advisor has this to say
The Univerity Of Pennsylvania UPENN spent some quality time on this

You can Google "free personality tests online" to get some idea of what you can do for no cost.

Best wishes!

Which personality type are you and what can you do with that knowledge?

Have you heard of the 'Meyer's Briggs' personality test?

According to the 'Meyer's Briggs' personality test, there are 16 possible personality types, which are scored based upon preferences in four areas:

Where you get your energy from: Do you gain energy from being around others or from being alone? On the other hand, do you construct your world based on outer or inner information? This is labeled Extroversion (‘E’) or Introversion (‘I’).

How you perceive information: Do you collect information based on your five senses. Conversely, do you observe patterns and trust your gut? This is labeled Sensing (‘S’) or Intuition (‘N’).

How you make decisions:  When making decisions, do you look at logic and human values? Or, do you go by your own emotions about things? Scientists label this as Thinking (‘T’) or Feeling (‘F’).

How you view the world: In daily life, do you enjoy a more structured existence. On the other hand, are you more of a “go with the flow” type? Researchers label this as Judging (‘J’) or Perceiving (‘P’).

Which personality type are you and what can you do with that knowledge?
