THIS BOOK IS FOR...

I wrote this book for people who feel just like I did 10 years ago stuck. Dont get me wrong, I wasnt totally miserable at work. In fact, I was good at it, too good you could say, as I ended up promoted into roles I didnt really want (and, if Im honest, didnt suit me anyway). The truth is, I was not fulfilled, excited or at all energised about what I spent 40+ hours a week doing.

So, this book is for you if:

• The daily grind is zapping your energy.
• Your work is not fulfilling or making you happy (no matter how good at it you are).
• You are currently feeling stuck in your job or perhaps uncertainty is creeping in about whether it really is the thing you want to spend the rest of your working life doing.
• In an ideal world, youd be doing something different but for one reason or another youve found yourself here and are now wondering if its even possible to change.
• Youd like to explore an alternative in a structured way with me coaching you every step of the way.
• You long for change but fear of the unknown, or a salary change is holding you back.

I would also like to say that getting unstuck is all about working out what is right for you, and thats not necessarily a dramatic leap from where you are. In fact, I help a lot of people find more suitable roles that make them a lot happier within the same industry, or even the same company. But it could be a big change. At this stage, we dont know, so join me and lets find out

THIS BOOK WILL...

• Guide you through a process and create a much-needed space for you to really reflect on whats important to you your vision, values and so much more.
• Help you work out where you would ideally like to be and give you a roadmap for getting there.
• Gently coach you through the journey with thought-provoking questions that will have you looking at your life in a new way.

Often, we dont take a moment out to check if were on the right track, we just keep our head down and work hard. The thing is, its so easy to get pushed down a certain path, which can start with family and end with managers, and one day waking up wondering how on earth you got here and whether its even possible to do anything about it. At that point, any kind of change can seem overwhelming, and in my experience, people tend to talk themselves out of taking action.

And Im all about action.

After going through this process:

• You will have learned something important about yourself.
• You will have a clear vision of success and will be making progress towards achieving your goal.
• You and those around you will have a better understanding of what your values are and find making the right decision for you easier.
• You will feel a lot happier, more confident and have increased self-belief (you wont be getting in your own way anymore).
• You will be well on your way to living the kind of life where you get out of bed on a Monday morning with a smile on your face, looking forward to the day ahead. Youll be showing up instead of turning up in work.
• As you build a new sense of purpose, your colleagues and family will notice this shift in mentality and behaviour; they will see happiness radiating through your life.

The work well do is deep. You need to be honest with yourself, reconnecting with desires and ideas you may have buried away for many years, but if you put the effort in, then youll start moving from stuck to empowered.
