How to...find your professional purpose in 2024

I'm sharing a brilliant exercise with you today that will get you thinking...

Welcome back and happy new year! How’s it been so far? My year to date has included lots of rain, the discovery of a shaved brussel sprout salad that is to die for (seriously) and a cracked front tooth (owner: my 9yr old daughter). As well as lots of reflection and planning for the year ahead in my leadership coaching business and right here on Substack.

Thank you all so much for joining me this year. I can’t promise you amazing recipes every week (try The Department of Salad for well, amazing salads if that’s your thing), but I can deliver piping hot and practical leadership and career advice, right to your inbox, every Thursday morning.

I like to call it micro-coaching and it’s the easiest first step towards transforming your career and your leadership trajectory.

This is now a predominantly paid Substack, as I hope I’m sharing a lot of valuable content with you here that you can really use in your career right now. And at just £5.00 a month, I’d like to think I’m worth the price of one of your special coffees. Although mine’s an Americano with a dash of oat milk if you’re buying... And you get a 7 day free trial if you sign up to paid, so you can try this out before your first payment, then cancel if you hate it. (Please don’t hate it!)

Today we’re focusing on a foundational topic in your career development and leadership journey.

Identifying your true professional purpose.

In the words of Billie Eilish, “what was I made for?”

I’m sharing a brilliant exercise and template with you today. It changed my life and is so simple even a two year old could try it. Well my two year old did. She may have been a bit precocious…

As ever, I’ll tell you all about it, why this works and what the benefits are, plus how you can apply it in your role or your career.

All after the jump for paid subscribers, so come on in…

(I’ll still be sharing semi-regular free posts but the weekly career and leadership tips are paid, as they take my time and expertise to do well!)
