Dinner time with an 18 month old is usually a hair-raising experience.

Some evenings, we'll put Toddler Grundy to work and get her chopping the carrots and onions. Other evenings, she’s more interested in tottering round the kitchen or playing with her toys.

But Lauren and I don’t want her straying too far from the cooking arena.

That’s why we’ve given Toddler Grundy a bottom kitchen drawer. It’s filled to the brim with mugs, bowls, plates, bibs, food clips, shot glasses and other assorted kitchen paraphernalia which she can help herself to, fiddle about with and scatter all over the floor. End result being she stays out of mischief while Lauren or I slave over a hot stove. 

Aptly, we’ve christened the drawer Baby Grundy’s “self-help” drawer. 

And she’s obsessed with it.

No, it’s not a self-help obsession in the traditional sense. It’s not a drawer filled with toddler self-help classics like Atomic Nappies, The Power of No and How to Win Ice Cream and Influence Your Grandparents.

Although give it a few years and you never know.

Having said that, one book which will be making an appearance in Toddler Grundy’s self-help drawer is my soon to be published book Don’t Quit Your Job.

Not because Toddler Grundy is thinking of jacking in her day job just yet.

But because I plan to take a leaf from Wayne Dyer’s book promo strategy and shill my own copies to bookshops and corporates. Maybe I’ll leave the odd covert copy on the London Underground too for unsuspecting commuters.

Thus I’ll need somewhere to store all the books. And where better than a self-help drawer?

Anyway, it’s not long until Don’t Quit Your Job hits the shelves.

But if you have a pressing career dilemma of your own and you can’t wait for a copy of the book, I have another option for you today.

I’ve opened up a few Career Clarity Coaching Call slots in July.

If you’re good at your job but you’re not sure if this is the job you want to be good at, this could be a great way to find out. If you’ve been offered an exciting new opportunity but you genuinely love aspects of your current role and you’re torn between the two, this call will help you find more clarity. And if your life priorities have shifted recently but your job hasn’t shifted with them, this call could help you figure that out too.

Whatever your career dilemma, I’m not going to pretend I have the answers (I don’t) and I won’t be offering you any advice on the call. 

But what I will do is create a space where you can think out loud, find your own answers and untangle the mental spaghetti that’s stopping you seeing your career conundrum clearly.

If you’d like to book a call:
