Welcome to my book about how to live true to who you really are throughout the chapters of your WorkLife story. Here is a preview of what’s inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these. WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically. Living true to who you really are requires you to search fearlessly to bring out your truth, to be truthful to who you are at all stages of your WorkLife: the truth of your character, and your truth as a human being. In this book I tell three stories: 1. Wearing the Mask of Chief Financial Officer All the Time Hiding Her Truth of Who She Really Was: Mary’s story of how she kept who she was outside of work hidden, and how when she finally shared her real truth she was able to throw away her mask and live her WorkLife true to her values and purpose. 2. Am I the Right or Wrong Person to be Running the Company?Roger’s story of how he was questioning if he was genuine or if he was a fraud; and how an interview led him to recognise and take ownership of his success driven by the unique strengths of his soft skills: curiosity and creativity. 3. Getting Back to Who I Used to Be –Back to My True Self: Lori’s story of how she went from somebody who everybody was drawn to – a magnetic visionary – to a horrible leader that nobody wanted to work with; and the wake-up call that began her journey back to her true self. I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas.
