About the show

Career fulfilment is possible for anyone, it's just a matter of knowing what to focus on. But there's a lot of noise out there - so when work stops working, where do you start? What do you pay attention to and what do you ignore? How do you navigate the transition points in your career and life with intention, focus, and grace? Hi, my name is Anne Benveniste, and I started The Career Studio to make it easier to build an energizing, fulfilling career you love - one that is simply an extension of who you are and how you want to live your life. The good news is there are four concepts that are the foundation of any energizing, fulfilling career. And if you know what they are and how to apply them it will allow you to get into alignment and stay there - no matter how you or your life evolve. On this podcast each episode I'll take you through an idea, tool, or concept from one of these four areas so you can strengthen your own foundation and build the career and life you crave.

A new project: Character

New York City is full of characters: unapologetically authentic people who create the vibe that make this city great. People who have thrown out the rulebook and become the artist of their life. We dive into the messy, unpredictable journey towards fulfillment and authentic self-expression. We talk to creatives and artists, entrepreneurs and change-makers about where they came from, who they’ve become, and what it took to get here. These are honest, intimate conversations, where we explore taking risks, trusting your intuition, career twists, creative awakenings, and the role this intense and powerful city played in shaping their path. We explore the structures and tools they used to support them - from psychedelics to therapy, spirituality to community. We get real. We have fun. We go deep. Always in the quest to leave you wiser and more inspired. This show is about the character it takes to build an authentic and fulfilling life that feels uniquely your own.SUBSCRIBE NOW: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@characterpod Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/character-with-anne-benveniste/id1645863102Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/63UcUnBWGGxAjTiX9Q2RnNFOLLOW ALONG: Substack: https://annebenven.substack.comWebsite: https://www.annebenveniste.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annebenveniste/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/characterpod #newyork #newyorkcity #charactertrailer #AnneBenveniste #character #characterstory #inspiringstories #humanexperience #documentaryfilm #youtubetrailer #viraltrailer #truecharacter #filmpreview #realpeoplerealstories #emotionaljourney #lifestories #podcast #trailerEnjoy the show?

The Career Studio: How to choose the 'right' path

It’s natural to want to choose the ‘right’ path for yourself professionally. And when people feel lost it feels hard to know what’s ‘right’. I see a lot of people get stuck here, often because their definition of right is leading them wrong. It’s focused on what will look good or what people around them know and accept. When you define ‘right’ with qualities that are grounded in external validation you’re disconnecting to yourself. And this is the fastest way to put yourself on a career path that feels draining. You will always go further faster if you let go of trying to fit in and own instead your unique makeup and priorities and use that as the metric for your professional success.Are you ready to create an energizing career you love?

The Career Studio: Don't say yes to the wrong job

Are you worried that you’ll say yes to the wrong job? This is a common concern when we feel lost and stuck professionally. This can happen for three main reasons:You’re scattered - you don’t have a solid foundation based on the levers of career fulfillment to generate your hypotheses and assess opportunities.You’re rushing - you’re so desperate to get out of your current environment that you grab at anything that’s different instead of what’s right. You’re people pleasing - you get swept up in other people’s enthusiasm for you or their hard-sell on on opportunity and end up accepting a role that isn’t a good fit.In this bonus episode I dive into these three areas in detail and discuss what to focus on instead to avoid these common pitfalls.Are you ready to create an energizing career you love?

The Career Studio: How to feel confident

Confidence is something everyone wants more of. And the good news is - it’s a muscle you can strengthen. As with everything, it’s just about knowing what to focus on. Confidence comes from three places: the stories we tell ourselves about the struggles in our life, our belief in ourselves to navigate the unknown, and our willingness to feel any feeling. Ultimately this is about accepting your own imperfections and learning to be with uncomfortable emotions. PLUS an exciting announcement - I’m launching a group program and releasing extra content this month to support it.I dive into all the details in the episode.Are you ready to create an energizing career you love?

The Career Studio: How to connect to your gut

Have you ever had a sense that you shouldn't do something ... and yet, you did it anyways. And then you kicked yourself afterwards when the result isn’t what you wanted because you felt like you had a sense that you shouldn’t do whatever is it that you did? We somehow know our gut is right and important and that connection to it can really help us… but how to hear it and trust it and know when it's right, this can feel elusive and mysterious. I used to think it was this kind of binary thing, like either you were born hearing it or you weren't. But like most things, it’s a muscle and you can strengthen. Everyone has access to their gut. It's just that we live in a society that doesn't prioritize teaching us how to hear it and strengthen that connection. And so that's what this episode is about: teaching you how to strengthen your connection to your gut, to hear it, to pay attention to it so you can make decisions that are right for you faster.Are you ready to create an energizing career you love?

The Career Studio: How to cultivate mentors

I spent years thinking mentorship had to be bestowed upon me. That if I worked hard enough and got lucky some benevolent titan of industry would grant me the privilege of being their mentee. As you can imagine, I spent many years without any kind of real mentorship.Sure, maybe I had some helpful chats with the head of my department or my boss or someone a bit more senior than me in another department, but I was pretty much going through my career alone. The thing is, you always go further, faster, and to more interesting places if you get help consistently. Learning how to do this will unlock the wisdom and support you're looking for to build an energizing career you love. In this episode of the podcast I discuss: What kind of mentors to cultivate to build a personal Board of DirectorsHow to actually ask them to be your mentor in a non cringe wayHow to maintain the relationship so it's fruitful for both parties.
