Samantha Clarke - Should You Quit Your Job If You Don't Love It?
Today I’m speaking with the wonderful Samantha Clarke, happiness consultant, speaker, podcast host, & author of Love It or Leave It: How to be Happy at Work.
As a happiness consultant, Samantha is on a mission to liberate individuals from work they no longer love to find a path to true work happiness. As a faculty lecturer at the School of Life and The Guardian Masterclasses, she facilitates workshops on career potential, building a portfolio career, managing stress, confidence and authentic leadership.
Samantha is also the host of the podcast series, "Conversations with Samantha&" and the newer series, "Love it or Leave It with Samantha&...", in which she interviews individuals who have taken the reigns on their own work happiness.
I found so much value in Samantha's words that I decided to add my own personal reflections to the end of this episode. I think you will too.
Listen as we discuss:
- The anti-climactic launch of her book just before lockdown
- Her past life as a style consultant
- How we use work as a distraction
- Are we supposed to enjoy work?
- What will happen to the workaholics when we have a universal basic income?
- The effect of COVID on where we think we should be living
- How work has become more challenging at home
