Midlife Transition and how most of us don't do enough great workIn this interview,
Michael Bungay Stanier talks about
midlife transition
and getting unstuck and the core message of his new book, Do More Great Work: Stop the Busywork. Start the Work That Matters. Michael was the 2006 Canadian Coach of the Year. He was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, and holds a Masters of Philosophy from Oxford, and law and arts degrees with highest honors from the Australian National University. He created Get Unstuck & Get Going on the stuff that matters, a multi-award-winning coaching program and tool that’s being used in organizations around the world. Leading management thinker Peter Block says it has “a quiet political message in it that coaching is available to all of us and is not a profession but a way of being with each other.” He also created The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun, The 5 3/4 Questions You’ve Been Avoiding, The Great Work Movie, and their latest film, The Alchemy of Great Work, short internet movies that have been seen by well over a million people in at least 175 countries. They can all be viewed for free at www.BoxofCrayonsMovies.com or on YouTube. Michael’s latest book is Do More Great Work: Stop the Busywork. Start the Work That Matters. Michael is a popular speaker at business and coaching conferences. Recently he has spoken at the SHRM, the OD Network, and the International Coaching Federation conferences.
