A Playbook for the Future of Work
When it’s time for a change, stretch your Career Imagination, make a plan and end up where you belong.
A Playbook for the Future of Work is for people who are grappling with the challenges of staying relevant, staying engaged, and finding fulfilment in their jobs. In it I ask you to consider what your work would look like if there were no limits, no doubts, no distractions. What makes you feel like you’re doing what you were meant to do? What does your ideal workday feel like? Imagine the sky at its bluest. We call this process of dreaming Career Imagination. It starts with believing that your dream can come true, no matter who you are, because wonderful careers are for ordinary people, it’s true every day.
Rooted in extensive research, this book provides you with the background knowledge you’ll need to figure out where you should go and how you can get there. I spoke to more than a hundred people with a wide variety of experiences, and I learned what leads to career success for the ordinary person with an ordinary education — and usually some big dreams.
The Career Imagination Workbook
This is a companion book to the Playbook. It offers 90 pages of detailed exercises to develop your Career Imagination and then turn your dream in to reality with nine more chapters of exercises ranging from upskilling and building your social network to overcoming obstacles and building a detailed plan.
If you’re feeling uncertain about the future of your job or excited about new possibilities but unsure how to move forward, you’re in the right place.
This guide is designed for real people with real jobs. You can think of it as a supportive structure that combines:
Self-discovery: Understanding what you really want in your career.
Research: Learning about the current labor market and the best job opportunities.
Strategy: Making a plan with identified actions and following it step by step.
Available in fillable PDF format when purchased with the book or our 5-part Career Development Workshop.
