It's often assumed that the responsibility for creating a great place to work lies with 'the organisation' in general and more specifically, 'the manager', but that's not true. None of us can make a great workplace for anyone else (although we can certainly make a bad workplace for everyone around us!) So the new book looks at the practical steps that each of us can take to ensure that we each have the best possible day-to-day workplace experience.

What steps do you take to shape your workplace? I'd love to hear from you.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Now, even if I know that what I'm writing is rubbish I get it down anyway. In "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life", Anne Lamott makes a compelling case for writing the 'shitty first drafts' that can clear the writing blockages and lead to greater clarity in subsequent drafts. I know now that the first draft never survives editing, so why obsess over getting it perfect? So, I write through the blockage and even if only 3 or 4 sentences survive the first edit, I'm still in a better position that if I had just sat there staring at the page. (less)
