What if I told you
that 5 years from now,
you'd have spent 50% of your waking hours at work
only to feel empty, soulless, & alone?
I doubt you'd be very happy.
So, why don't you make a change?
Think about the life
you're meant to be living.
How do you want to spend
the precious time
that's been given to you?
Here's my suggestion:
Ask yourself 'what if?'
Challenge 'what is',
And explore 'what's possible.'
Whatever you do,
Don't settle.

Fulfilment@Work is something we all want and deserve these days —but unfortunately it’s not that easy to find and for some it can prove to be totally elusive. According to Gallup, engagement is at an 11-year low, our trust in corporate leadership has declined, and our stress and anxiety continue to suffer.
We invest so much of our time at work that we want it to feel like something worth investing our precious time in. That’s why discovering our career purpose is on the increase for those who want to become the very best versions of themselves.
The traditional system for finding jobs is out of date.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. Let’s be honest, most of us are far too busy delivering a stellar performance in our day jobs to do a proper job of networking outside our organisations. We’ve also failed to keep pace with the new rules of career management.
It takes a significant amount of time and energy to think about our ideal next career move, and put in all the research to uncover the right opportunity, in the right organisational culture, working with the right boss (and avoiding the potential psychopath of a boss).
We could all use the expert support and guidance of a highly experienced and qualified career coach to work with. Let’s be honest, it’s so difficult to be objective about ourselves, and that’s why working with a career coach can be so fruitful and rewarding… That's why I created NINETY.
We’re all born with immense talents. But as we grow up through the education system (that exclusively rewards academic success) we lose touch with them. Many highly talented, brilliant people think they have no talent, because the thing they were good at wasn’t valued at school.

After a 30-year marketing career that includes automotive, advertising, recruitment and publishing, it was in education that I finally discovered my passion and career purpose, and something I could put my heart and soul into.
The City of Portsmouth College provides the opportunity to apply my marketing skills to help the College realise their fabulous ambition to radically improve the quality of learning for all students. Being a part of this is a worthy purpose, and I love it.
