687 Lia Garvin: Getting Unstuck

Why the “What” Question is More Helpful Than the “Why”

Ever felt stuck? Stuck in a repeating pattern, stuck in a circumstance or relationship stuck in a career or a business that is not serving you?

It happens to the best of us, but it doesn’t have to.

So, how to navigate a career shift, ask for that promotion, start a side hustle or a business, or demonstrate the impact of your work?

Lia Garvin is the author of UNSTUCK: Reframe Your Thinking to Free Yourself from the Patterns and People that Hold You Back, leaning into nearly 10 years of experience working in some of the largest and most influential companies in tech including Microsoft, Apple, and Google to explore the power of reframing to overcome common challenges found in the modern workplace.

As an operations leader, speaker and coach, Lia is on a mission to humanize the workplace, one conversation at a time. Through her writing, leadership coaching and savvy program management skills, she says she brings an authentic and irreverent sense of humor to teams to help them examine the challenges holding them back and focus on what matters.
