The world is changing - faster than we can keep up. But change is a distraction, and the way to respond to macro change is to focus on micro you. Jim's Take creates an environment that’s ripe for learning practical, tangible and interesting ways to remain relevant while improving yourself and the people around you.
Jim Frawley is an arbiter of change; working as an executive coach and business consultant with a unique capability in getting people to do things they didn’t think they could. After some experimentation on using this capability for good or evil, he decided on the good. (But not before convincing an Irish cousin to swim in the Hudson River.)
He has learned a lot by making very questionable decisions and loves sharing those learnings with anyone interested in listening.
This podcast is just one component of what he always wished to build. More information is available on www.jimfrawley.com.

Title: Never Enough: The Pressures of Our Environment and the Path Back to Self-Worth | Jim FrawleyDescription:In Jim’s Take Episode 159, executive coach Jim Frawley examines why “enough” never seems to be enough anymore. Today’s social, digital, and economic environments constantly shift expectations—pushing achievement over meaning and visibility over value.

In the next column, write who told you that.Participation is greater than Performance: Replace projection with tangible contribution each week.* How to reduce duplicity, align inner values with outer behavior, and build calmWhy listen: If you’re a leader or operator in New York / NYC or any fast-moving market, this episode gives you a repeatable approach to rebuild worth from the inside out—without abandoning ambition.Subscribe, rate, and review on Apple/Spotify.
