I’m thrilled to announce my first Midlands Find Your Great Work workshop in Birmingham.  It’s a full day workshop at the beautiful Birmingham Repertory Theatre. We have space for just 80 people. So if you’re interested move fast…

Do any of these ring true for you?

  • I feel busy all the time
  • I feel like I’m in a bit of a rut – and wondering what’s next
  • I spend my time just processing all the work coming at me. I’m just trying to keep afloat
  • I’m not doing the work that matters – I’m not even sure what work does really matter
  • I’ve lost sight of why I’m doing what I’m doing
  • I want to do more of the stuff that’s interesting, engaging and meaningful … and less of all the other stuff that fills my days!

What if, instead, you could do more Great Work and less Good Work?

Find Your Great Work

During this fun, stimulating workshop, you’ll be working on how to define, start and then sustain your Great Work. You’ll learn:

  • What the difference is between Good Work and Great Work – and why it matters to you
  • Where to look for the seeds of your own Great Work
  • How to decide where you should focus your time and energy
  • A way of better balancing the demands of your organization with your own goals and ambitions
  • How to generate a broader range of possibilities and options – and how to pick the most powerful choice
  • How to create an action plan that sticks
“If I had to pick a person to have dinner with, when I need to be prodded and challenged and inspired to think about the things I really am committed to think about for myself and what I’m doing, I’d pick Michael Bungay Stanier. He has an ability to shake our tree and make us more conscious and responsible about what we know but aren’t willing to admit we know yet. And the best part – he makes it easy and fun. Great work, Michael!”

David Allen, author of Getting Things Done

What people are saying about Find Your Great Work

“I found this book an easy read – highly human with a warm, humorous edge. And beneath that light exterior there is a deeper message. Find Your Great Work contains a strong rationale of change neatly packaged in the science of human motivation and common sense. The book contains a clear structure for sustainable change. I see it as a wonderful way to work through solo – your own personal search to increase your great work or as a wonderful structure for working through with a coach. Here’s the recipe just add your own conversation!”

Karen Tweedie, Current ICF President, Director of Coaching, Coachbroker Pty Ltd

“You know, I’m not really a big fan of small, simple books. It’s strange, but I’m not. They tend to be too simplistic for me to find them to be usable. Which is why Find Your Great Work surprised the heck out of me. Simple, beautiful, easy to access. And it knocked me upside the head. Our company is in the midst of a big transition and as the founder I’m the biggest threat to its growth and development. The napkins, yes the napkins in Find Your Great Work are one of the tools I’m using to get out of the way so I’m not the death of my company. Let’s just call it a little, square red life preserver.”

Mark Silver, Heart of Business, Inc.

“Find Your Great Work is, like all of Michael Bungay Stanier’s work, elegant. It defies the stereotype of flavor-of-the-month professional development books by being simple, deep, and really fun. What’s more, the guy just cannot produce anything boring. I can’t wait to get a heap of copies for my clients.”

Molly Gordon, author of The Way of the Accidental Entrepreneur, Master Certified Coach

“I am a true fan of Michael Bungay Stanier and Find Your Great Work. The book articulates concepts many of us are familiar with, but in a way that brings a genuinely new perspective. Several times since reading the book, I’ve thought through the Great Work vs. Good Work challenge when facing a flurry of inputs and multiple projects all demanding attention. This book should be required reading for any entrepreneur or artist hoping to leave their mark on the world.

Chris Guillebeau, author of The Art of Non-Conformity
