How To Be Selfish, Cringe & Nosy (In A Good Way) To Get What You Want
The Liz Moody Podcast
Avoid nap work; focus on promotable tasks
Jenny warns against spending over 10% time on 'nap work' like trivial meetings and email responsiveness instead of impact work.
The life you want is actually on the other side of so many things you’re told NOT to do or be. How many times have you stopped yourself from sending that message, raising your hand, or asking for something because you didn't want to come off as weird or too much? That inaction could be costing you a happy, successful career, relationships, and life.
I sit down with Jenny Wood, a former Google executive and the author of Wild Courage, who built her life by doing the things you're “not supposed to do”. Today, she’s teaching you practical tactics to get over fears of failure, judgement, and rejection, and step into the dream life you deserve.
🎧 What you’ll learn:
• Why "cringe" behavior is actually your secret weapon for career advancement and relationship success
• A 3-step system to overcome fear of judgment, failure, and uncertainty (even when stakes are high)
• The exact words to use when asking for what you want (so you don't sound desperate or entitled)
• The psychology hack that makes rejection sting 70% less (and helps you bounce back faster)
• How to escape the "good worker" trap that keeps high-performers stuck and underpaid
• A simple text you can send today that will immediately accelerate your success
• The counterintuitive networking formula that turns strangers into career sponsors
