Episode 08: How to build teams that thrive in the future of work - The Now Work

GuestLaura Hunter is the Co Founder of The Now Work, a platform designed to connect independent sustainability experts with the work that needs to happen, now. Their mission is to connect world-changing people to world-changing work.OverviewIn this episode, we talk to Laura about her experiences to date and hopes for the future of work, which she believes needs to be the Now of Work.TakeawayLaura is on a journey to make changing the world possible by changing the world of work and it was inspiring as ever to hear about how she's doing that. I appreciated her complete transparency around suffering with imposter syndrome and burning out and loved her advice on time blocking self care activities into your diary, prioritising them as much as work related tasks in order to work in a sustainable way.If you feel like you're currently a square peg pushing yourself into a round hole then perhaps its time to check out what other options are out there for you that you'll be more comfortable in, be that by changing roles or going freelance, or like Laura, taking the leap to create your own thing entirely. Life is too short to stay in a position you aren't happy in and there are organisations out there that will celebrate you and your individuality, they might be harder to find than they should be but they're there.LinksYou can learn more about the Now Work on thenowwork.com or by searching on Instagram for @thenowwork.If you're looking for a new role then do also check out the purpose driven Jobs Board I'm managing on behalf of media agency, The Know, by visiting theknowmedia.co and clicking 'Jobs Board' on the homepage.If you're yet to follow us on Instagram then please do, we'[email protected]'d love to hear your thoughts on the series!Big loveThank you for your support.#FavouritePositions teamxFollow Favourite Positions on LinkedIn and Instagram, connect with Alex here.
