Moving from "Tetris" to "Jenga" with Jordan Sale

In today's episode, I share my conversation with Jordan Sale, founder of 81cents - a negotiating platform designed to help close pay gaps for women and underrepresented minorities.

Topics Discussed:

• Untying your work from your identity

• Pressure to perform

• The line between rigidity and fluidity

• Mission-driven work

• Starting 81cents

• Over-committing yourself and what that feels like

• The narrative and re-framing the stories we tell ourselves

• Letting out emotions rather than keeping them in your head

• Practicing authenticity and self-awareness

• Having a gratitude practice
