Why Clarity Beats “Put Me In, Coach” with Seyka Mejeur
You know that temptation to say “I’ll do anything” when you’re ready for something new? My guest today, Seyka Mejeur, is here to challenge that thinking. As the CEO of an executive search firm placing technical leaders in space and climate, Seyka spends her days helping founders and execs clarify what they actually want so they can make better decisions, faster.
We talked about how lack of clarity gets in your way more than you realize, why being “great at a lot of things” isn’t enough, and how to think like a decision-maker at the highest level. This episode is a wake-up call to stop waiting for someone else to figure it out for you and start showing up with a clear, compelling story.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
- How to create clarity in your career (even if it’s still evolving)
- Why vagueness is exhausting for you and everyone around you
- The question that will shift how you approach every career conversation
