How to Stop Caring So Much About Work

Key Themes: Perspective, Work/Life Balance

What happens when work takes over and impinges on all aspects of your life? When:

• You can't switch off at the end of the day
• You prioritise work at the expense of family, social life and even your health.
• You constantly think about work and worry about whether you should be doing better, more or differently.
• Your sense of self-worth is directly related to the feedback that you get in the workplace.

These are all common scenarios that my clients grapple with every single day. The $64 million question they ask me is "how can I stop caring so much about work?"

In this episode, I share the process I take my clients through to help them to get perspective and not allow their work to dominate their life.
