di Susie Lawrence (Autore)

The Choir Press, 2023

Stories From The Career Couch is for readers who want to develop or change career. Personal work stories are combined with expert insight on Twenty First century careers. It is for people who feel unsatisfied in their careers, but don’t know why. It is for people who want to know themselves better and understand more about what shapes their working identity. It is for people looking to be inspired and entertained by a collection of deeply personal and varied narratives about the quest for job fulfilment.  The ‘story tellers’ are working in a variety of sectors, from government to communications to management consulting to medicine. After each client story, Susie Lawrence excavates and examines some resonating themes, exploring how theory and current thinking sets their stories in a broader context. This book is for those who are beginning to think about work enrichment, career changers or those looking to make wise choices at any age. It is for those who want to explore their career options, and/or reflect on their working lives thus far.  The youngest contributor is twenty-nine and on the cusp of his first major career change; searching for a different definition of purpose. The oldest writer is sixty -three; has recently established a new business and reflects on the agonies and ecstasies of a traditional, more twentieth century corporate career. There are writers who are working mothers and successful leaders and many who reflect on the messages that have been passed on by their family or wider community that have influenced their working choices.
