I have always been fascinated by the world of work. Why people do what they do, how they choose (or don’t choose!) a particular line of work or employer, and what it is about workplaces that energise us or sap us.

My goal with this blog is to share my thoughts on what makes for a fulfilling career and an energised and productive workplace. When I started it, I was in a career coaching role so most of the early posts relate to individual career planning, job hunting or recruitment issues. My own focus at work is now on helping organisations get better at attracting, retaining and engaging the people they need to thrive and grow. So this will now become my main area of interest.

My intention is that the blog will be useful for anyone in the workplace – whether you’re trying to craft a career for yourself or engage a workforce of many thousands.

Please feel free to comment and provide feedback, I’m always up for a little debate. And if you like what you read, please share. It would be great to know that some of these ideas are spreading and helping people to better navigate the world of work.
