Book Description
Welcome to my book about how to successfully invent and reinvent yourself throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what’s inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these. WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically. In a world where things are always changing, there will be times when your WorkLife circumstances change, or you change. You’ll reach points where you’ll want and need to think about who you are and where you’re at in your WorkLife, and then figure out whether or not it’s time for a refresh, or a total change in direction. Inventing or reinventing yourself, while challenging, is absolutely possible, as you will come to learn through the stories about to unfold. In this book I tell six stories: 1. How She Applied to Work for an Organisation She Aspired to Be Part of when She Didn’t Meet the Specified Criteria of the Position Advertised: Orla’s story of how in writing a letter that acknowledged her shortcomings, she also projected confidence in herself and her abilities. 2. How a Speculative Approach Helped Him Reinvent Himself: Sean’s story of how he approached a new industry and sector, not for an advertised position, but with a letter of enquiry about future positions, in which he let them know why he was the right person for them. 3. Life After Redundancy – What Next: Tim’s story of how he turned a rather unusual hobby into a viable business venture, from where he began a new chapter in his WorkLife. 4. Stories of Reinvention and Christmas Puddings: Fanny Craddock and Mrs Beeton’s stories as perhaps the queens of reinvention, in carving out new and different chapters throughout their WorkLives. 5. Most Significant WorkLife Transition – From Supreme Judge to Nomadic Social Media Marketer: Katie’s story of how she actively shaped her WorkLife so that the choices she made brought about the satisfaction she sought. 6. A Tale of Invention and Reinvention: Madame Clicquot’s story of how extreme external forces drove her need to continuously invent and reinvent herself not only for her success but for her survival: I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through: Bridge the Gap Assignment This assignment is to help you to consider opportunities that you aspire to, that are a stretch for you to apply for, and to take a strategic approach to put your best self forward. Develop a Practice of Continuous Self-Feedback Assignment This assignment is to help you to project a confidence in yourself as a lifelong learner. Develop a Practice of Insightful Self-Questioning Assignment This assignment is to help you to always strive towards knowing what you need to do to keep on top of your professional and personal development needs. Are You in the Right Place in Your WorkLife Journaling Assignment This assignment is to help you to actively shape your WorkLife, so that the choices you make bring about the satisfaction you seek. Three Steps in Taking a Risk Assignment This assignment is to help you to consider the information you need in any venture you’re considering undertaking.

Book Description
“Thursday morning. One hundred pounds overweight, no man in sight, and rounding the bend to 57 years old—a full-blown catastrophe.” What happens when you realize you’ve had the career of your dreams, but you don’t have the life of your dreams? This was the stark reality facing Sheri Salata when she left her twenty-year stint at The Oprah Winfrey Show, Harpo Studios and the OWN network. She had dedicated decades to her dream job, and loved (almost) every minute of it, but had left the rest of her life gathering dust on the shelf. After years of telling other people’s makeover stories, Sheri decided to “produce” her own life transformation. And this meant revisiting her past, excavating its lessons, and boldly reimagining her future. In these pages, she invites readers along for the ride—detoxing in the desert, braving humiliation at Hollywood’s favorite fitness studio, grappling with losses, reinventing friendships, baring her soul in sex therapy, and more. Part cautionary tale, part middle-of-life rallying cry, Sheri’s stories offer profound inspiration for personal renewal.
