The wonder technique…..the name itself sounds great, doesn’t it?
It alone takes some of the anxiety out of making change.
So, what if making a career (or life) change was exciting, not fear-inducing?
The tricky thing about making change is the fear of change is usually buried.
That means often we don’t realise that our reactions or inactions are fear-based. And we’re really terrific at rationalising these things. You might say things like “I’m not qualified”, “I’m not ready”, “I’m not smart at that”, or point out why others need to change, not you.
Today we’re chatting to David Hennessey – who is the developer of the wonder technique, which is a holistic approach to help you make life changes.
David’s story is wonderous in itself.
In the past 10 years, he’s seen three close family members die, been in two separate car accidents and a rock climbing accident that left him unable to work for six months. He moved to another country with three young children, where he did not speak the local language.
Yep.

If you’re looking for a new job in this crazy economy you’ll hear all the time – why not look at a start-up as a great place to start or relaunch your career.
There’s something s*xy about the thought of being the person that joined this era’s version of Airbnb.
But what is it really like to join a company where the future is uncertain?
Are you really the right person to join what might be a crazy ride?

And if so what are the rewards? [click to continue…]

As much as we want to deny it, the “gig” economy is here.
Covid-19 has accelerated changes we’ve already seen in the market place – automation, casualisation, part-time work, and the like.
You and I are not competing in Australia anymore.
Our competition could be on Upwork, LinkedIn, Freelancer, and a myriad of other similar sites.
So how do you stand out, in a world where talent seems cheap and you’re easily seen as a commodity – and what does personal “branding” mean in this world anyway?

Have you ever had that feeling you have only used half your brain?
OK, so that’s just me! 😉

What I mean by this is the “good on paper” decision you might make about your career choice or whether to accept that job.
Everything lines up on the plus column about whether you should do something, but your gut/heart/intuition says something else.
Then you find yourself needing to justify the good on paper decision.
I’ve always wanted a practical way to line these two things up in decision making.
And that’s what we’re going to do today. [click to continue…]
