3 in 30 : How to Stay Motivated In a Career “Waiting” Season

Career Contessa

Lauren and career coach Marnie Lemonik close out their 3-part summer series on Career Clarity with an honest conversation about “waiting seasons” in your career—the in-between times when you’re not quite where you want to be yet. If you’ve ever felt stuck or restless while waiting for the next step to unfold, this episode will help you see that season with fresh perspective and practical tools.

Tune in to learn:

• How to identify the “why” behind your waiting season so it feels intentional, not stuck
• Why defining your own “success” metric keeps you consistent and motivated
• A simple way to create rewards that reinforce progress without derailing your goals
