Embrace your multi-storied life
Finding suitable work can be hard; instant rejection or no reply to a stream of applications can eat away at your self-esteem. While being in the “wrong” job in an organisation that is alienating and inhospitable can be equally soul destroying. In some ways, finding and securing satisfying work is one of the last taboos.
And yet there is something that comes quite naturally to us—part of our every day—that could help to build our resilience and tackle work challenges in a new way.
The last taboo?
Our personal narrative, what we tell ourselves and what we choose to share with others, is the thread that weaves events together to form a story.
We all tell stories to make sense of our lives—and our careers. But what if that story has become skewed, either by things that have happened to us or that we believe to be true?
Applying storytelling practices could make all the difference to fulfilling and rewarding work experiences—and help you to live a more authentic life.
