We assume career uncertainty means we need a better answer. But sometimes the real problem is that we are still making decisions using an old picture of ourselves.

We believe we need a serious, defensible reason before we are allowed to stop. But the fact that we can keep going does'nt mean continuing hasn't got a cost.

We often believe we have one career problem to solve: a job, confidence, motivation or clarity. But what we are experiencing is usually shaped by several parts of our work and lives interacting with one another.

We spend a surprising amount of our lives becoming who we think we need to be. Sometimes the gap between who we are and who we've been performing becomes so great that we begin to wonder where we've gone. This article explores why that happens and why recognising yourself again may be the beginning of everything that comes next.

We spend much of our lives adapting to the environments around us. Most of the time that adaptation is intelligent, necessary and often invisible. The challenge comes when we become so used to fitting in that we lose sight of who we are underneath it. This article explores the hidden cost of adaptation, belonging and the gradual distance that can develop between who we are and how we show up in the world.
