How Leaders can Stop Overworking S1-92

Understanding how to create and maintain a world class offer for your business or brand (i.e. your core product or service that you offer) is THE most important thing to focus on getting “right” in your business. This is why I created the concept of “Intentional Professional Development”. 

In the coaching and personal development industry, as well as the online business space, very few of us are required to participate in any form of professional development. This means we rarely learn the process required to maintain the core skills we use and rely upon to execute our products and services (i.e. the most important aspect of our business). 

This is NOT a one and done process. You create and maintain a competitive, industry leading, world class offer for your business (which is what business success & your personal fulfillment requires) through an un-ending commitment, development and refinement of your CRAFT. 

New certifications and business coaching/mentorship rarely addresses this. In fact, both assume your offer is as good as it can be. But where is the support in making sure that is the case?

This is what we’re talking about in today’s episode. Learn how to create and maintain a world class offer for your business so that you feel confident in what you do, are fulfilled and actively engaged in your craft and industry, create the business success you desire as well as contribute in the best way possible to innovation within your zones of genius.

In today’s competitive world, having a strong personal brand is no longer optional—it’s essential. Whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder, launching a side hustle, or seeking new opportunities, your personal brand is how you’re perceived by colleagues, employers, and industry peers. It tells your story, highlights your strengths, and helps you stand out in a crowded marketplace. But how do you go about building one?

Building a Personal Brand - By Cyndi Bernstiel

This week, Mark and Joe follow up on the counter-offer conversation with stories and insights from listeners. Then they pull back the curtain on a hidden truth in the job market: not all job postings are real. With 39% of companies admitting to publishing fake listings in the past year, it’s more than just misleading—it’s strategic data harvesting. From collecting your email and employment history to selling your info, some postings are just bait. Learn how to spot the signs of a fake job ad and protect yourself in a marketplace where data is currency and not every opportunity is what it seems.

The Rowbo Show | #013 - Fake Jobs & Real Risks

In this episode of The Rowbo Show, Mark and Joe take a closer look at the rising trend of quiet quitting—where employees stay on the job but mentally check out. From doing the bare minimum to avoiding extra responsibilities, quiet quitting has become a modern response to burnout, disengagement, and shifting workplace values. We explore its impact on productivity, company culture, and long-term retention—and more importantly, what leaders can do to re-engage their teams. Whether it’s a cry for better work-life balance or a warning sign of deeper issues, this episode breaks down the causes, consequences, and solutions behind the quiet quitting movement.
