“Don’t build your life around your career, build your career around your life. ”

Creating soft change as a certified flow coach and your personal guide towards more happiness at work
My name is Lenka, and I help people create more happiness at work.
It might sound a bit over-optimistic, I know. Someone hating their job has become so common and normalized that it’s almost a default setting. Most people believe that even feeling neutral instead of outright bummed and burned out would be a win - and it would. So far, I’ve met only very few people who are genuinely passionate about what they do and how they do it, let alone truly love their work. And I think that sucks.
How about we change it, together?
I have spent almost 15 years in different corporate environments and jobs, and there are two things I firmly believe in, and that I believe to be possible for everyone, despite the trenches the kindergarten the absolute circus everything that working in corporate can be:
1) It’s much easier to be successful at work – and in life – when we feel good about what we do. In other words, it is easier to be excellent at what you do when you do something that comes easily to you (=when the work you do builds on your strengths and interests) and that you can do under conditions that feel good (=when the conditions you work in meet your needs and align with your values).
Since you are reading this, I will assume that to get to that point, your work life might need a change. And yes, it will require some effort, but...
2) Change doesn’t need to be painful. In this instance, you even get to design it yourself! Yes, every change brings us out of our comfort zone, but the fear of the unknown that often comes with it thrives on ambiguity. Taking things into your hands allows you to define your own path. A path that not only feels achievable, but one that you can sustainably follow long term.
And if you’re asking what makes me so sure about all of this…
My academic background is in work and social psychology. I continue to educate myself in neuroscience, and I’m also a certified flow coach. All of this, combined with my years of corporate experience, not only strengthens my confidence in the two key beliefs above, but also defines my approach to helping people achieve their goals in improving the levels of happiness they experience at work. So…
If you are:
trying to create a positive shift – whether that means finding a job that’s a better fit for your strengths, ambitions, and values, or elevating the career you already have in a healthy and sustainable way;
facing a cha(lle)nge that’s already right in front of you – regardless of whether it’s a change at work that’s impacting your personal life, or it’s the other way around;
simply not happy with your work situation as it is and in need of some help with figuring out how to change it for the better and where to even start;
you are in the right place, and I’m excited that you’re here!
