Book Empower Yourself at Work - paperback

Nurturing inner leadership

Many people struggle to strike a healthy work/life balance. But do they have to be so separate? Hélène van Oudheusden gently illuminates an alternative path – one where you bring your full self to work, and you integrate your work into your personal journey of growth. She shows how listening to your inner voice and being true to yourself in the workplace can be of benefit to everyone: you, your colleagues and, yes, even your boss.

Hélène van Oudheusden identifies the ailments and symptoms that result from repressing your true self at work – boredom, frustration, feeling unfulfilled, lack of productivity, and burn-out - and gives concrete examples of the magic that can happen when you find your inner voice and listen to it - increased energy, positive reactions, improved productivity, greater sense of purpose and belonging, and better all-round wellbeing.

We have already entered a new age of work physically: freelancing, hot-desking, remote working, co-working, start-ups, horizontal organisations… Empower Yourself at Work marks the threshold of this new age mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Not only can you make work suit your life; this book teaches you how to make work serve your life.

To the fresh graduate, the office veteran; the intern, the CEO; the enthusiast, the disillusioned; the idealist, the sceptic; the bored, the tired, the hopeless and the wanderer – this book is for all of you.

Hélène van Oudheusden (1967) is a Dutch personal coach, author and speaker. She works with organizations and professionals. Hélène van Oudheusden also provides coaching in Greece, her second home.

“A remarkable book that offers recognition and inspiration, especially in less conventional work relationships, such as in the operating room or in personal projects. It shows how trials not only frustrate, but also shape us and give us direction. By mirroring your own journey against that of classic heroes, your ‘self’ becomes a source of energy and inspiration in every work environment.” // Xandra Schyns – van den Berg, Anesthesiologist, Albert Schweitzer Hospital
