New Work Pioneers Reframe Success
Today’s post is the fourth in an emerging series, writing The Manifesto For New Work Pioneers. It looks at how, by redefining success for yourself, you can switch your whole relationship with work and life.

Today’s post is the third in an emerging series, writing The Manifesto For New Work Pioneers. Last week we were talking about the desire for soul-felt joy that drives gutsy, professionals to challenge career norms.

The hazards of creating a location independent lifestyle – and how to navigate them
This morning I’ve come to my local coffee shop, treated myself to a large gingerbread latte (well, it IS Christmas!), and sat down to take stock of the last two months. As you’ll recall from my earlier posts, as well as writing about how you can reinvent work in the context of your whole life,…
