Beverly Jones, host of the NPR podcast, “Jazzed About Work,” brings a wealth of knowledge about work that’s refreshing to me in our featured conversation today. I talked to her about her latest book, Find Happy at Work, and she adds excellent insight and perspective to creating room for work and happiness to co-exist.

I play a clip from my Friday live stream, “The Modern Job Search Checklist,” with my co-host, Damian Birkel, and our guest Loren Greiff, as we bantered about several job search topics. You can catch the show on my timelines on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

Beverly Jones, host of the NPR podcast, “Jazzed About Work,” brings a wealth of knowledge about work that’s refreshing to me in our featured conversation today. I talked to her about her latest book, Find Happy at Work, and she adds excellent insight and perspective to creating room for work and happiness to co-exist.
Beverly is also an executive and coach who has appeared on Forbes, CNN, MarketWatch, and many other news outlets.

Highlights from our conversation:

  • Beverly said the COVID experience has made people think about how life is short, and we only have one— we don’t want to defer happiness forever.
  • There are ways to act like an entrepreneur and continue to build a resilient career.
  • Beverly said,” You know, our ancient ancestors who are hunter-gatherers couldn’t thrive by themselves. They had to be in groups. And so we evolved to have the skills, like noticing emotion and empathy and those kinds of things.”
  • “Fundamentals of a meaningful career: Being productive, using your expertise, and contributing to the mission or values that are important to you. Careers can be long, and you can do a portfolio kind of career where you work a lot now, and maybe you’re going to work longer than you ever thought you would, but you’re going to have fun doing it.”
  • There are many alternatives now to obtain new learning or skills without getting a degree.
  • We get a hooked sense of being experts and our rank and, you know, that sense of security”.
  • “You’re in a learning mode, and everything changes. You become creative, and more opportunities open.”

The next show will be published on Nov. 2. I will continue to publish articles on the blog and other places around the web.

About Mark Anthony Dyson

I am the "The Voice of Job Seekers!" I offer compassionate career and job search advice as I hack and re-imagine the job search process. You need to be "the prescription to an employer's job description." You must be solution-oriented and work in positions in companies where you are the remedy. Your job search must be a lifestyle, and your career must be in front of you constantly. You can no longer shed your aspirations at the change seasons. There are strengths you have that need constant use and development. Be sure you sign up to download my E-Book, "421 Modern Job Search Tips 2021!" You can find my career advice and work in media outlets such as Forbes, Inc., Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Glassdoor, and many other outlets.
