How To Use Turning Points To Start Something Different And Better
Welcome to my book about how to use turning points to start something different and better throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

Turning points are times when a significant change takes place that affects a person's future, causing them to pause and rethink what's important to them in their WorkLife – what they want and need to do differently to make it better.

In this book I tell four stories:

1. Life is Too Short Not to Be Living it Fully: Carmel's story of how the loss of her brother led her to reevaluate her WorkLife, to think through what was important in her day-to-day living and the legacy she wanted to work towards leaving behind.

2. How Overcoming a Significant Challenge Led to a New WorkLife:Jason's story of how a debilitating illness led him to develop a new WorkLife in line with what he enjoyed doing, that honoured his values.

3. Be Grateful to the Naysayers, Allow Them to Motivate You, to Prove Them Wrong, When They Say Something Can't Be Done: Michaels' story of how his dream to do something new and different was crushed by unsolicited advice before he even got started, and how by surrounding himself with people who believed that changes can take place even in the toughest of circumstances allowed him to achieve his dream.

4. New Year's Eve Tales of Turning Points– Stories of Acts of Kindness that Led to Building a Community of Caring and Connectivity & The WorkLife Book Club: Stories from people who were brought together by shared experiences, turning points, and acts of kindness which led to connectivity and community.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:

About the Author

Carmel O’ Reilly is the founder of School of WorkLife. She was born and grew up in Ireland, and now lives in Shoreditch, London.

Her work and subsequently her first book, Your WorkLife Your Way, and its companion workbook, focus on helping people live their best WorkLives by managing their learning, development and growth, through effective self-feedback, insightful questions and the ability to shape and tell their unique story. 

Her School of WorkLife book series tells WorkLife stories of the obstacles, failures, and successes people encountered in their WorkLife. Each book includes the exercises that helped navigate these situations, which are presented as assignments for readers to work through and adapt to their challenging WorkLife situations.

Her books are designed to help you gain insight and inspiration in your chosen area of WorkLife, and then support you in achieving what is important to you in your WorkLife learning, development and growth. You will learn to take ownership of your strengths and potential, as well as assessing your challenges to determine where you are stuck, to then uncover solutions to move forward.

Her new book, WorkLife Book Club Volume One takes you on a journey through the streets of Shoreditch, East London, as the members share culinary experiences, while discussing WorkLife struggles and successes through the wisdom found in the books they read.

Her WorkLife Book Club Case Studies embrace Learning Through Reading and applying those lessons to real-life situations. The series is a collection of stories inspired by real WorkLife struggles and successes and show how the wisdom found in the books they read helped the protagonists in the stories navigate through their challenging situation. 

The stories are presented as case studies for group discussion. The case and the recommended book are the required reading for each book club meeting and help to frame the subsequent discussion. 

The Art of WorkLife Storytelling is a series of e-books designed to help you find, develop and tell the right story at the right time in all WorkLife situations – in day-to-day communication: WorkLife and feedback conversations, presentations, talks, and negotiations, at interviews, and when socialising and networking in building and maintaining good relationships. You will learn to tell the stories that express who you are in an interesting and engaging way.
