#74 Level up! How to Escape the Career Trap with Tammy Alvarez

Season #3 Episode #74

In today’s episode we talked with author and CEO Tammy Alvarez about how to level up so we make a big impact and never hate Mondays again.

In this episode she explains:

  1. Clarity in Career Goals: Step one to leveling up is gaining clarity on where you are in your current career season and understanding why you want what you want. Is it a genuine calling, or are you chasing external validation?
  2. Becoming a Leader Worth Following: The second step involves becoming the leader people choose to follow. This is achieved by embracing transparency, vulnerability, and the ability to fail successfully. Tammy emphasizes the importance of not pretending to have all the answers, as authenticity fosters true leadership.
  3. Don’t be Afraid to Break the Rules: To drive impactful change within an organization, it's essential to break out of your silo and collaborate with others who share your pain points. You don’t need the title to lead; leadership comes from building relationships, taking initiative, and uniting colleagues across departments to tackle collective challenges. By creating a coalition of change-makers and addressing organizational issues together, you lead from a place of influence, not authority—proving that leadership isn't about titles, but about taking the first step to make things better.
  4. Small Conversations, Big Impact -Transforming Work at Any Level: Transformation doesn’t have to be a massive, top-down initiative led by the C-suite. Real change can start with simple, human conversations at the individual level. By addressing small issues within your role and collaborating with colleagues across departments, you can create meaningful improvements without the need for big budgets or presentations. These grassroots efforts not only solve immediate problems but also build the leadership skills necessary for larger transformations in the future.
