If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of time and energy in your career and want it to be a joyful, rewarding, and positively challenging experience, but probably have struggled with that at times. In this conversation, I'm excited to bring you one of the best thinkers I've found yet on crafting a joyful career.

I'm your host, Andrew Skotzko, and my guest in this episode is Laura Garnett. 

Laura is a performance strategist, TEDx speaker, a regular contributor to Inc and Forbes and the author of The Genius Habit and the tractical follow-up, Find Your Zone of Genius which just released and I highly recommend you order — it's helped me a ton already.

As a Performance Strategist, Laura works with highly motivated CEOs, executives, and managers who want to maximize their engagement, tap into their unique talents, and access a whole new level of joy and hunger at work, as well as create that kind of experience for their teams. In a nutshell, Laura helps people identify their unique genius and purpose, and craft an actionable plan to leverage them in their day-to-day work.
