We’re back with another episode of Why Are We Still Doing That? — and this time, we’re rethinking the age-old question that still lingers in job interviews, leadership trainings, and well-meaning conversations: Where do you want to be in five years?
In this episode, we explore why that question doesn’t hold up anymore — especially in a world that feels more uncertain and fast-moving than ever. Instead of obsessing over the title or role you want “someday,” we talk about what it means to tune into how you want to feel — and how that simple shift can change everything.
You’ll hear:
Why “Where do you want to be?” is the wrong question — and what to ask instead
How the five-year plan keeps us stuck in a role-based mindset
Why tuning into your energy can lead to smarter, more fulfilling decisions
Plus, we’ve got a simple but powerful tool that can help you get clear on what’s working — and what’s not.
Onward & Inward,
