According to the 2018 Great Place to Work report, only 40% of us are happy at work. That means a massive 60% of us are unhappy. Is it possible to do work we love and get paid for it? Why do so many of us dislike our jobs, and what’s the impact on our health and happiness? Society models a version of career success that revolves around status, titles and salary, not passion, purpose and happiness.
What would it be like to jump out of bed each Monday excited about the week ahead? To feel purpose and accomplishment at the end of each day and make a difference whilst paying the bills?
I believe we should all do work we love, because that’s when we perform at our best and make more of an impact and let’s face it, it’s also where we spend so much of our time.
As I entered the workforce society modelled a version of career success that revolves around status, titles and salary not passion, purpose and happiness. I had to go on my own journey to discover this. Coincidentally this took me through a career in Human Resources where I learned a lot about business, recruitment and how people perform at work, including the reasons we stay or leave.
In this course I share the roadmap for success for finding work you love and if that's not your current role, how to change it. From a decade in Human Resources, my own journey and the research for the book of the same name I uncover the secrets to finding work that fulfils us as well as pays the bills.
Master the art of work-life balance and get the job you’ve dreamed of. Discover the joy of finding meaning and purpose in the work that you do, working for a company that aligns with your values, with people you trust, where you get to use your skills and learn.
Experience what it feels like to jump out of bed every Monday morning knowing you make a difference and sustain high performance to continue to grow in a career you love.

I help busy high achievers go from burnout to brilliance, to cultivate a mindset of peak performance, lead with confidence, fuel our tanks to ensure we are a sustainable resource and can achieve our potential to have influence and impact.
Tapping into our brilliance creates a positive mindset, we have more fulfilling careers, because we spend time doing what matters, our to do list is aligned to our purpose.
We have the confidence to back ourselves, own our space and stop doubting ourselves, we don’t compare to others and we stop procrastinating.
We develop impact and have more influence, we feel less fear and are able to lead with confidence to perform at our peak
When we achieve our potential we make more money, develop our career, gain the confidence to go for the promotions and make better choices.
When we’re full of energy we’re resilience, we have more free time, because we’re not overwhelmed trying to do everything for everyone. We’re also healthier and happier.
