Happy at work in progress


As promised I am keeping you posted with Happy@work updates. I am very happy working on the book:" Happy@work:job hunting for mid-lifers" because I am surrounded by the most amazing art, joyfully created by my wonderful friends.

I think having a office like this is incredible and it definetly helps get my creative juices going!


Today, as I mind the gallery for our collective art exhibition "joy'ance" I am working on the final edits for Part 6 - the section of the book that deals with the important strategies for success.

Finding a job that makes you happy isn’t always easy. If it was, more people would be working in jobs they love. The exercises in “Strategies For Success” will help you identify and overcome any obstacles between you and your goal. Maintaining a positive expectancy, and having a success action plan, will help you successfully navigate your way toward your preferred future.

In this section of the book, I’ll help you:
• Identify possible constraints and develop a positive mindset to overcome them
• Overcome ageism and turn maturity into an asset
• Challenge your fears
• Identify ways to beat any skills gaps
• Beat the money blues and finance your career
• Whip procrastination into shape and stay on track
• Cope with change and uncertainty effectively.

This section is divided into 7 sections headed:

*Overcoming obstacles
*Turning age into an asset
*Employment Strategies for Fifty Somethings
*Challenge your Fears
*Finance Your Career
*Staying on Track
*Transitions are a time of renewal

By tomorrow I hope to have all the section edited, proofed and finished. Then it will be onto Section 7. Wrapping it all up
In this section you will create:
Your happy@work profile
Your Vision for the future
Your unique passion point

Creating these things will help you consolidate all that you have learnt and prepare a concrete and inspiring plan of action.

My amazing reviewer!
Yesterday I received great news from my dear friend, published author and super talented Business Psychologist Jasbindar Singh that she would love: to be a reviewer of my book. That is so fabulous. I can't wait for her feedback.
