quitting a job

As artist and performers, we get to do some pretty exciting work. We tour the world, perform on the biggest stages, and get to create work that does not exist in the world. These however are the highlights of the career but not necessarily the norm.

In this episode, Brandon talks about the mundane life of the performer and how we can stay engaged in our work. The life of an artist is challenging and dancers need to check in with how their needs are being met and if/when to find fulfillment elsewhere.
How can we keep our work interesting, continue to learn, and recognize the benefits of the work we need to do?

Picture this. You’re in the middle of a productive team meeting, when all of a sudden, someone at the table quits. No, not after the fact. No, not a resignation letter. No, not a private conversation. Just, “I’m OUT!...” in the middle of the meeting. Yikes! What would you do? What would you say? Though you may not have faced this abrupt of a situation, any leader that’s been in the game for a while has been blindsided by someone resigning, stepping away, or quitting. A listener writes in this week about this surprising challenge, and we walk through the best way to handle it!

When we find ourselves in the real world after college it can feel like a challenge to find our place in a new city. We crave connection and community but don't know where to find it or where we fit in.

In this episode, Brandon talks about the ways he found community when he moved to NYC and the obstacles he felt were in his way.  He offers ideas in how you can create better connections with the people you meet and the importance of patience when it comes to building a community that will last.

It's really hard for dancers to know when to move on. It's also a challenge for them to have the courage to make a big change after working so hard to achieve a life long dream. Most of the time, the picture we build in our head isnt the reality when we book the job. This is when we have to get honest and take action that is going to be the most beneficial to our physical, emotional, and mental health.

In this episode, Brandon breaks down the differences in  dance jobs and how we don't always know what we want until we experience it ourselves. What are the signs that it's time to quit? How do we pivot to a different job or career all together? When does one bad day start to add up and become a bad week, month, or year?

We’ve all heard the saying “quitters never win and winners never quit”…it’s a mindset instilled in us from an early age, but is it *really* true? Spoiler alert: no, it is not. Letting something go when it’s no longer right for you isn’t a weakness or a failure. Be it a job, a relationship or even a habit, making the difficult decision to quit something can be the ultimate act of self-preservation. 

Seriously, we’re big fans of moving on from jobs or situations that don’t serve us, and quitting has led to some of our biggest successes!

We’re living through The Great Resignation right now with North Americans quitting their jobs at record high rates, and if we’ve collectively learned anything from the last two chaotic years, it’s that our BS tolerance is at an all-time low, and we deserve to start prioritizing the things that bring us joy, growth and fulfillment. #YOLO!

So, this week we’re flipping the script on quitting and redefining success for ourselves. There’s only 24-hours in a day, let’s make sure they’re filled with the stuff that matters.

Join us as we discuss:

• Redefining the narrative around quitting
• Why society is entering "The Great Resignation"
• How to know when it's time to quit
• Our biggest lessons for letting go
• What quitting can mean for your career and for creating new opportunities
• Choosing yourself over toxic situations
• How to quit well and leave on a high note

We hope this episode helps guide your decisions, and empowers you to find success on your own terms. You got this!

Knowing when to give up is often a challenge for business owners. But there are numerous benefits of quitting when it’s clearly appropriate to do so.

When we talk about quitting, it could be in terms of a staff member leaving, ending a project, or quitting a job. In all of these cases, it’s important to recognize the point at which things just aren’t going to get any better.

Do you ever find yourself in the situation where something is missing? When this happens, quitting is often the best course of action because otherwise you’re just going to continue to hurt your business.

The problem, however, is that we have sunk cost bias. As humans we are biased toward focusing on losses rather than the benefits of quitting something. A great example is that you have a staff member and they're not doing a great job. By the time you realize it's a problem, you hesitate because you have all of this money and time invested in that person. In this case, knowing when to give up on that employee is crucial.

When you finally let the person go, it's usually a relief for everyone. Trying to push things forward due to the fear of loss is not a great strategy.

Quitting is not going to feel good. You're going to feel like you made a big mistake. But you need to look at it as a learning experience. Listen to that gut feeling. After all, why be wrong for longer?

Knowing when to give up isn’t a skill that comes naturally. But it’s important to recognize the benefits of quitting so that when the time comes, you’re ready to embrace it and move on.

It's the start of a new decade! We're kicking off the new year by discussing the ins and outs of leaving a position and highlighting some examples of what to consider before giving notice at a position (and what to be prepared for even if you think you're leaving in a very respectful way!) In this episode, Shenandoah and Brandy share anecdotes of how they've left positions in the past and provide advice for any listeners thinking of moving on from their current job.

No one sings on this episode. Sorry!
