WorkJoy is rarely achieved by those who took the well trodden path. Rather, it’s those who zig and zag a bit who eventually find themselves where they were meant to be all along, and they’ve usually got a great anecdote or two to tell you over drinks as well.
You’ve been chasing work-life balance for who knows how long, but as soon as you seem to get close, it slips through your fingers again… You’ve been gunning it for so long, you’ve got nothing left. You don’t eat well, sleep well, you’re always ill and you can’t muster the enthusiasm for anything… You played […]
This one’s for the coasters – those among us who are kind of drifting along in their job, feeling like they’re lucky to even have a job and probably shouldn’t ask for more. IIf you’re feeling like you’re drifting off track and want to get back on, you’re absolutely in the right place.
I think most of us know what brings us joy. But something baffling happens: even though we know what brings us joy, we don’t do it. We cancel our own joy and then some time later find ourselves in the depths of gloom and wonder how we got there.
There’s one topic that my community just can’t get enough of. They love the module on it in my course and the chapter on it in my book. Yep, squads. And with good reason.
We all have stories floating around in our heads. The problem is, we sometimes forget that they’re stories at all.
WorkGloom is feeling like we’re not in control of the work we do and/or the career being laid out before us. Feeling like someone else is calling the shots can make anyone miserable, but there is light at the end of that particular tunnel. Promise…!
You’re doing ALL THE THINGS to feel better at work but still feeling meh and you’re wondering when your WorkJoy is going to kick in…
All this talk of WorkJoy sounds pretty appealing but you’re still not sure what it actually is or how you get it…
Goals are fun, aren’t they? There’s nothing better than living with a goal inside you, that you haven’t told anyone about yet (because that would break the spell!). While some people make it look easy, for others it’s more complicated. If that’s you, I’m here to help.
In this guide, I’m sharing perhaps the single most important factor in reconnecting with and sharing more WorkJoy: selfishness.
In this guide, we’re going to be diving into three stories that may or may not be keeping you stuck in Samesville when you really want to be moving onto…well, somewhere new. I’ve got reflection questions and a whole piece about micro-learning that I feel very passionate about
Problem with values? I hear you. From lifestyle blogs to business boardrooms, values are everywhere. Maybe you know what your values are; maybe you don’t (yet!) but to my mind there’s one thing that elevates values from being the latest buzz word to having actual, well…value, and that’s doing something with them.
Whatever brought you here, welcome to this in-depth guide to the absolutely non-frivolous nature of WorkJoy. I’ll be walking you step-by-joyful-step through some ideas, exercises and inspiration that’ll help reveal WorkJoy as the serious (but also seriously AWESOME) business it is. Because…well, you deserve WorkJoy in your life, you can make it happen, and I’m here to help you.
Christmas is a funny old time, isn’t it? The build up is kind of hectic. There’s presents to be bought, food to be ordered, maybe an event or five to get glammed up for (remember JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out), though). The kids are off. The family is down. Something’s always been forgotten. Then, on the other side, there’s…nothing much at all. As the years go by, it seems to me that more and more organisations shut up shop between Christmas and New Year, giving us all an enforced rest and real opportunity to recharge. My advice? Don’t waste it.
I spend my professional life (and my personal life, actually), talking about joy. Like, a lot. I believe in joy. And I especially believe in cultivating joy in unexpected contexts, like work. Everyone wants to feel fulfilled at work (as well as appreciated, rewarded and many other things) but very few of us expect joy. […]
