Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Susanne talks to Jess Annison, coach and author of "Smart Careers'. We discuss: How we can find meaning in our work through small shifts rather than major career change. The importance of autonomy and meaningful work components like contribution and growth in creating the work that we want. How managers and organisations can support these kinds of career development conversations without fear. Practical suggestions for starting small experiments and reflective practices to explore career meaningfulness. The role of storytelling and limiting narratives in career development. The benefits and potential challenges of finding meaningful work, including the risk of burnout.     The ChangeStories podcast is for people who are interested in change, whether that is within organisations or for individuals.     Hosted by Susanne Evans, an organisation change consultant, coach, trainer and researcher, each podcast episode features a conversation with a guest about their work to provide ideas and inspiration.     To find out more about ChangeStories and Susanne's work, go to www.feldsparconsulting.com  or follow her on Twitter or Instagram (@feldsparconsult ).
