1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 285: The Power of Selective Ignoring In this episode, Erin and Nicole tackle something we all need to get better at: ignoring. (Ignoring—strategically, of course.) &lt;p&gt; Whether your inbox is flooded, your DMs are piling up, or you're just plain overstimulated, this episode is your permission slip to stop responding to everything like it’s a fire drill. &lt;p&gt; Here’s what you’ll hear: &lt;p&gt; 1.) Why every message doesn’t deserve a reply—and how to tell the difference &lt;p&gt; 2.)&nbsp; How to stop treating work like a courtroom (you’re not on trial, promise) &lt;p&gt; 3.)&nbsp; Practical ways to prioritize what actually needs your energy &lt;p&gt; 4.) What ignoring with intention looks like (and why silence is a superpower) &lt;p&gt; 5.)&nbsp; And the real reason vague DMs are getting ghosted &lt;p&gt; From Pavlovian pings to text message booty calls (yep), this one’s packed with the hard-earned wisdom of two recovering over-responders. You’ll laugh, nod along, and maybe even mute a few notifications. &lt;p&gt;If you’d like quick tangible tips and practical corporate career advice to level up your authentic leadership, download the&nbsp;10 simple “plays” to stop selling out and start standing out&nbsp;at&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://bauthenticinc.mykajabi.com/freebie"&gt;https://bauthenticinc.mykajabi.com/freebie &lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;&lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To connect with Erin and/or Nicole, email:&nbsp;hello@bauthenticinc.com&nbsp;&lt;p&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you like jammin' with us on the podcast, b sure to join us for more fun and inspiration!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/bcausepodcast"&gt;Follow b Cause on Twitter (really it's mostly Nicole) &lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/erin-hatzikostas/"&gt;Follow Erin on&nbsp;LinkedIn &lt;/a&gt;or&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/erinhatzikostas/" &gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/bCAUSEPodcast"&gt;Join the b Cause Podcast Facebook Group&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/600ec8544ddf900016d517d1"&gt; Take our simple, fun and insightful"What’s your workplace superhero name?”quiz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/You-Do-ish-Authentic-Superpowers/dp/1736376535/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=you+do+youish&amp;qid=1634564333&amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Unleash your Authentic Superpower with&nbsp;Erin’s book,"You Do You (ish)"&nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bauthenticinc.com/our-2-cents"&gt;Check out our blog for more no-BS career advice&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bauthenticinc.com/authentic-programs"&gt;Work with Us &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.bauthenticinc.com/b-you-shop"&gt;Or just buy some fun, authentic, kick-ars merch here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;DISCLAIMER: This episode is not explicit, though contains mild swearing that may be unsustainable for younger audiences.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tweetable Comments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt; ”Life is not a rap battle. You don't have to respond to every single point right away. You're not Eminem.” &lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt; “I don’t do work booty calls.” &lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt; ”If it doesn't feed you or free you or feel fun, then it's probably not worth your immediate attention.” &lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt; “It's okay to put it aside or reconsider it or let it go. You have to be able to assess the risk of that and to live with the consequences." &lt;p&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &nbsp; b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck http://bauthenticinc.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/36702455/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/188768825
