  • Guided by Experience: The Transformative Power of Career Ownership Coaching

    Guided by Experience: The Transformative Power of Career Ownership Coaching
    Aug 5 2025

    Feeling stuck in your career or unsure of your next move? What if coaching could help you uncover what’s holding you back — and give you the clarity to move forward with confidence?

    In this episode, Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith dive into the transformative power of coaching, sharing personal stories, mindset shifts, and actionable insights to help you break free from limiting beliefs and take ownership of your future.

    • Hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith talk about why you may want to seek the assistance of a career ownership coach.
    • Tamara Loring herself didn’t realize the power of having a coach until she had a coach of her own…
    • A coach isn’t there to tell you what to do but has the role of helping you gain clarity.
    • “Once you have clarity, of course, it’s your own personal responsibility to take action of what you now know is going to be the best for you,” says Tamara.
    • By tuning in to today’s episode and visiting CareerCompassShow.com, you can get a copy of the Your Career Revolution book sent to you.
    • Dr. Mike Smith shares how he became an executive coach and the “serve pitch” approach he uses.
    • The “soul searching” aspect of a coach’s job is something Tamara really gets excited by.
    • Tamara and Dr. Mike unpack the “Battered Career Syndrome” concept.
    • For Dr. Mike, one of the things that a coach is really good about doing is helping you discover things from a sort of neutral position, without emotions and unnecessary influence.
    • Tamara touches upon the Entrepreneur’s Source patented process to help their clients, as well as her way of doing things as a coach and the limiting beliefs and labels we sometimes put on ourselves.
    • Coaches have a similar approach than doctors’: First they diagnose, then they prescribe.
    • Inspired by a Bill Gove, Dr. Mike explains that, like professional speakers are responsible to their audience but not for them, coaches are 100% responsible to their clients but not for them.
    • Tamara points out that, even though we want freedom and control, many times we end up “outsourcing” them…

  • Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Challenging the Stories That Hold You Back

    Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Challenging the Stories That Hold You Back
    Jul 22 2025
    Is your mindset quietly holding you back from career growth and fulfillment? Or is it something worth paying attention to because it helps you reach the next level? In this episode, Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith dive deep into the subtle ways limiting beliefs, such as doubt and self-criticism, can sabotage even the most ambitious professionals. Tune in to discover practical advice, personal stories, and expert insights to help you challenge those beliefs and design your career, and your life, on your own terms. In this episode, hosts Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith look at how limiting beliefs may silently block career growth and fulfillment.Limiting beliefs are very subtle and sneaky, and they manifest themselves as general doubt, self-doubt, fear, and worry, stopping you from dreaming.Tamara shares one thing she believes could really help: stopping and actually listening to what you’re telling yourself.According to a study by Gartner, 50% (or more) of business leaders who got interviewed actually lack confidence as leaders.Tamara recommends asking yourself whether a belief is helpful or limiting. Also because “a belief is a belief, it’s not a fact, it’s not necessarily true.”Tamara shares her experience feeling unsatisfied, dealing with “dream catchers” and being surrounded by strong leaders.Dr. Mike opens up about facing self-doubt and limiting beliefs as he got selected to be one of the Thunderbirds, as well as when he walked away from his corporate job, and all the “benefits” attached to that position.For Tamara, having an entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to be a full-blown entrepreneur like Elon Musk or people of that caliber. Powerful words from Tamara: “pay attention to what you’re thinking and remember that, just because you’re thinking it, it doesn’t mean it’s true or even helpful!“Tamara and Dr. Mike name a couple of books that can be valuable resources when it comes to overcoming limiting beliefs.Dr. Mike touches upon a “trap” your subconscious can easily fall into, as well as the role of mantras and visualization, citing a few examples of very successful athletes.In a snippet, Allen Paige of The Entrepreneur’s Source shares his experience with overcoming limiting beliefs and really finding his place and calling.“Once you actually start down the road of true self-discovery, that’s when you’re really able to create a life by design, instead of living a life by default,” says Dr. Mike.

  • The Comparison Trap: Defining Success on Your Own Terms

    The Comparison Trap: Defining Success on Your Own Terms
    Jul 8 2025
    Did you know that 60% of adults gauge their worth by others? Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith tackle the “infamous” comparison trap – from its origins and far-reaching impacts on both your career and personal fulfillment. They explore the different phenomena that keep us stuck, exacerbated by social media, and touch upon the Career Revolution’s Five Steps to Finding Your Primary Aim. Learn how to build a comparison-proof career and the life of your dreams. Tamara and Dr. Mike address the “infamous” comparison trap and unpack its origin and repercussions on both your career and personal life.Dr. Mike points out that this is a problem pretty much anyone, of any age, and anywhere in the world faces.According to a 2023 YourGov survey, 60% of adults measure their own success and self-worth by looking at what others are doing and achieving, especially as it relates to career progression and financial milestones.Dr. Mike discusses how stopping daydreaming and following someone’s orders are something we have been taught from a very young age.It’s important not only to love what you do, as well as the process that helps you unpack and discover who you really are, and not to be influenced by what others do and their “picture-perfect” lives on display on social media.Tamara asks a key existential question: “We only get this one life, so why not make it the best life ever?”.Tamara mentions the Career Revolution book, and zooms in on the “Five Steps to Finding Your Primary Aim” exercise.Dr. Mike explains that it’s not just about focusing on what we want in life… It's also about what we DON’T want in life.Dr. Mike and Tamara talk about the role of asking yourself what your purpose in this life is.Battered Career Syndrome is a “plague” that sees people constantly putting themselves through the same continuum even if they don’t feel fulfilled and happy.Tamara believes that the comparison trap often leads to you robbing yourself of your personal freedom.Dr. Mike goes over two different scenarios: one in which you should and one where you shouldn’t compare yourself to others.75% of the adult population has the desire to be self-sufficient but are scared to do something by themselves…You should strive for being surrounded by dream catchers, instead of dream stealers, says Tamara.What do some of the most prominent and wealthiest people in the world have in common? When they bet on anything, they bet on themselves.
