Whether you’re a student, teacher, sales leader, founder, or even looking for work opportunities, we’re all trying to navigate that tension between work and personal life. Rarely are the two interconnected. And when they are – through remote work, digital nomadism, working with a partner, or simply being so into your work that it becomes a lifestyle – there’s still further tension here.

If I am oblivious to the internal drivers within me, the things I ‘need’ to thrive, it follows then that I am likely to miss opportunities to satisfy these drivers. It also follows, that in my bid to achieve, or please others, or fulfil expectations, I might completely neglect these areas – my needs, without even realising.
