Making the best use of the time that's been given to us is one of the most important things we can do in life. Yet 88% of executives and middle managers today are battle-weary, unhappy, and stressed-out. Typically earning good money, they find themselves hostages to their egos, and living lives of quiet desperation. But where do they go for help?
That's why I started NINETY.

As the marketing director at Randstad, I set up a programme called ‘How I Became’. My team reached out to a special group of candidates who had found their fulfiilment@work. We asked them to share their own 'one piece of advice' for the next generation coming through.
'The 12%ers', as they became known, play by a different set of rules to manage their careers. I'm on a mission to share these new rules with the ambitious executives as they work through their own journeys to find the fulfilment they’re looking for in their own working lives.
'Becoming Me' is a 10-minute documentary focusing on the lives of four people, their career dilemmas, and the twist and turns in their journeys to find their ideal jobs. The stories are told in a revealing series of interviews, and the film is directed by multi award-winning filmmaker Ben Anthony.
According to Gallup, people’s view work today is far from positive. Most people are simply not happy in their jobs and with the world changing so rapidly, many of us are unsure how to adapt and stay ahead in our careers. This is leading to a mass disillusionment that needs to be addressed. How's your relationship with work?
Furthermore, they say that they would switch jobs tomorrow if they had the opportunity. How do so many of us feel this way about our working lives?
We lack motivation, passion and energy — unchallenged, disinterested and bored, we’re less likely to invest effort in hitting organisational goals.
We’re extremely unhappy and unproductive at work — and it gets worse — we’re actively hostile to our employers, and liable to spread negativity to our colleagues.
Only 1 in 8 of us feel we’re making a positive contribution, and are actively committed to our role and employer. What can we learn from the 12%ers?
The traditional system for finding jobs is out of date, the game has changed, and the world of work is harder to navigate than ever before. But we've not been taught the new rules, and it takes a significant amount of time to put in the research to uncover them alone; people are in need of expert support & guidance.
That's why I created NINETY: A 90-day roadmap to guide you through the 3-steps for taking control of your career, including 1-1 support from accredited UK Career Coaches. Learn everything you need to know for your long and short term career development.
