Restoring pride is one of the things I love doing.\u201d  7:16 Bill- \u201cWhat is the genesis of your book, The Joy Factor? What actually started you thinking about writing it?\u201d  7:44 Lisa- \u201cIt was my nieces and nephews who are millennials. They were entering the workforce and felt this deep sense of being unsatisfied and being disappointed and not being able to make that difference.\u201d  8:08 Lisa- \u201cI went through the same journey and if there was some way I could accelerate them to a place where their joy factor is way bigger now and they could have control. How can we systematically do that?\u201d  9:08 Bill- \u201cDo you find that that\u2019s an issue with hiring millennials within your company and other companies as well?\u201d  9:24 Lisa- \u201cIndeed. I look at the great resignation and quiet quitting. People are trying to find their own way so they can have control back, whether that\u2019s the hours of the day or how you work. Today\u2019s influences transcends millennials now.\u201d  10:09 Lisa- \u201cHow could you add value in the organization that you\u2019re at right now that is going to bring you joy?\u201d  10:31 Bill- \u201cThe whole message of the book is an inside out. The joy starts with the individual.\u201d  11:06 Lisa- \u201cJoy does come within your own happiness. It\u2019s a mindset. You can only control you.\u201d  11:47 Lisa- \u201cDon\u2019t assume what is in other people\u2019s brains. Assume good. Apply yourself in ways that are fulfilling who you are.\u201d  12:45 Lisa- \u201cI found journaling to be an excellent tool. Articulate in black and white what changes and life events are happening. Let\u2019s write everything down and start there.\u201d  13:31 Lisa- \u201cLet\u2019s systematically move things over from a negative to the positive column and reframe our mind and look for opportunities that are going to be giving you more exposure to that joy.\u201d  14:20 Lisa- \u201cThe last negative thing you\u2019re exposed to often has the most power in your brain. But if you force yourself to write down the most wonderful things that happened to you in a day, really dissect it. What were you doing? Why did it bring you joy? Were you coaching? Problem solving? Were you just listening? Be very mindful and specific about what brought you joy.\u201d  17:25 Bill- \u201cIn your book, what do you mean by the acceleration of joy?\u201d  17:32 Lisa- \u201cIt\u2019s how do you get to that place where your joy factor is overwhelming the not so good factor. How do you get there quicker?\u201d  17:41 Lisa- \u201cThe most powerful thing you can do it let people know. If you don\u2019t tell people what your aspirations are, how can they help you get there?\u201d  19:21 Lisa- \u201cLook at how you\u2019re branding yourself, not only from a professional perspective but to your resume, your LinkedIn profile, etc. You have got to let people know what you want to do.\u201d  23:20 Lisa- \u201cWe have a national crisis which is baby boomers retiring. The next generation is very small. Then the millennials who are much bigger but are quiet quitting, working hybrid, in the gig economy. They\u2019re not necessarily going through the same leadership journey that previous generations went through.\u201d  24:32 Lisa- \u201cIt is all about just defining our leadership companies within the organization, what opportunities can we bring to people, what are we doing for succession planning, etc.\u201d  26:44 Lisa- \u201cIf we invest in everyone from a leadership perspective, then we\u2019re all going to benefit.\u201d  27: 43 Bill- \u201cWhat percentage of your time each week is really dedicated each month to efforts around that particular leadership journey?\u201d  32:12 Bill- \u201cWhat differentiates the new people coming into the organizations versus the ones that don\u2019t make it through?\u201d  32:54 Lisa- \u201cThe ability to have dialogue around change management and communication culture. Are they going to add value in a way that makes them happy?\u201d  35:06 Lisa- \u201cI think the biggest opportunity lost is creating healthy relationships where they\u2019re at and creating powerful networks.\u201d  35:41 Lisa- \u201cBeing the CIO is one of the most unique positions where you get to touch every piece of the organization.\u201d  40:15 Lisa- \u201cThere is some fear when it comes to the change that\u2019s happening in the world. Be grounded in your own self-worth. Be purposeful, have the right mindset, and you\u2019ll feel a sense of control that will give you the leverage to do the right things.\u201d    Resources  Lisa Roger\u2019s LinkedIn  \u201cThe Joy Factor: Escaping Job Disappointment and Finding Your Dream Career\u201d  Women in Business Initiative- George Mason University  ","author_name":"Bill Murphy's RedZone 10X Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/redzone10x.net\/podcast","html":"
