Quick Spoon: The question that changed my career
Sometimes the questions that shape our careers don't come from research papers or textbooks.
They come from the people we meet.
In this Quick Spoon, chartered coaching psychologist Dr Rose Aghdami shares the client conversation that transformed the direction of her work.
After hearing a client ask, "So you mean work can make you ill?", Rose found herself asking another question:
If work can contribute to poor mental health, could it also become a place where people thrive?
This Quick Spoon is taken from my full conversation with Dr Rose Aghdami, author of How to FUEL Your Resilience.
If you'd like to hear the complete conversation, you'll find it wherever you listen to People Soup.
People Soup: Real conversations about work, leadership, and being human — grounded in behavioural science, with practical ideas you can actually use.
