What if just five words could change the way you see your career?

In this solo episode, I share the surprising power of writing as a tool for clarity, confidence, and change.

I talk about how I first stumbled upon journalling during my own career crossroads, and how it became a steady companion—helping me make sense of setbacks, notice hidden patterns, and take bolder steps forward. Over time, I began introducing these techniques to my coaching clients and saw the same powerful results.

I’ll also take you behind the scenes of some of the writers and thinkers who have shaped my approach, including The Great Book of Journaling, Mark Levy’s Accidental Genius, Alison Jones on exploratory writing, Nancy Kline’s Time to Think, Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic.

Alongside my next book, Write Your Career (publishing April 2026), I’ve created a 30-day journalling course—and in this episode, I invite you to join the pilot version for free.

And stay tuned until the end, when I’ll guide you through a short but powerful exercise: the “Five-Word Future.” In just a minute, you’ll write down the five words that capture the career you truly want—and discover how writing can open the door to new clarity.
