Lucia Knight - Career Satisfaction Designer
Life’s too short to do work that doesn’t bring us joy.
Non-dull career makeovers.
For serious professionals who feel stuck.
Who also happen to be in their prime (40s, 50s and 60s).
Biography…
Lucia lost the plot in her career at 42. She fled (imaging wild-pony sprinting) from a twenty-year career in head-hunting in Australia and UK.
And signed up to a full-time MSc Psychology with zero clue what she’d let herself in for. She also became a full-time mum for the first time in her career. Two full-time jobs. Easy peasy, she thought.
16 exams. 16 assignments. And a six-month research project on “Where have all the 50-year olds in big businesses gone?” She lay crumpled in a mess. With zero idea what else to do with the rest of her work-life.
Then she started her real research.
Oh how people laughed at her idea. To seek out and interview 100 professionals who’d changed career after 40. AND described themselves as “happier” for having done so. She did it. A publisher loved it and boom. Midlife Unstuck was borne.
She now combines the insights from her 2500 interviews over her last decade of her headhunting career, her insanely interesting MSc Psychology lessons and her commercial business experience to help professionals design more joy into their work lives.
