How to make work-life balance work: Nigel Marsh
We’ve all done it: left our jobs and gone freelance, with grand plans for a new work-life balance that will leave our minds and bodies much more centred than the old 9-5. Except it hasn’t worked. We’ve gone on to work harder, longer hours than ever before.
In this thoughtful and well-argued talk, Nigel Marsh addresses the thorny issue of work-life balance. While it’s not specifically targeted at freelancers, the four observations he shares, gleaned from both experience and research, will help anyone to better understand where the problems of work-life balance lie and where the solutions can be found.

Watch a 15 minute webinar and then participate in a discussion with other attendees about the webinar. This webinar will be the Ted Talk “How To Find Work You Love”
Once upon a time, Scott Dinsmore was working at a Fortune 500 company and got some terrible advice: ‘Don’t worry about the work you’re doing now, concentrate on building your resume’.
This launched him on a quest to understand why 80 per cent of adults hate the work they do, and more importantly, to identify what the other 20 per cent were doing differently.
In this insightful talk, he explains how he’s distilled the results down to what he calls his Passionate Work Framework, and outlines three surprisingly simple practices for finding and doing work you love, which all happen to be completely within your control.
While not required please RSVP here so that we can make sure we have enough space for everyone.
