Hi Reader,

I've spoken with a lot of people in career transition these past six months and some really tough questions keep bubbling up. Is it possible to retain my humanity while working for a company that feels a little bit ... evil? What compromises will I need to make to be able to support my family?

Unfortunately, these questions don't magically go away if you've left full-time employment for entrepreneurship. As a soloprenneur I ask myself, how do I ensure that I'm not recreating the same toxic patterns and mindset that inspired me to leave Corporate America? Now that I'm the solo architect of my career, how do I build for healthy longevity without burning out?

I've been transparent about the challenges that come from building Clew Strategy on the belief that real resilience beats quick fixes every single time. But it ain't easy. One thing I've learned is that talking about these challenges and facing the uncertainty together restores my energy. So when author Abby Lovett told me she'd written a book about thriving at work without losing yourself in the process, I knew we needed to have a public conversation about it.

I'm hosting Abby for a live online conversation on April 20th (12:00pm Central Time) to discuss her book Super Human: 8 "SMALL" Ways to Be Super at What You Do...and Human While You Do It.​

What this is: An honest conversation about sustainable excellence and humanity in modern work. Whether you're self-employed or the CEO; a remote worker or a daily commuter, it's the fundamentals that determine whether you thrive or burn out.

What this is NOT:

• Feel-bad content about why you need a side-hustle or two
• Another productivity-hacking "optimize your life" manifesto
• Doom and gloom about how your entire department is about to be replaced by a chatbot with questionable morals
• How to climb the corporate ladder — at any cost

After 15+ years of helping Fortune 100 companies navigate disruption, Abby found herself on the receiving end of workplace chaos. This book emerged from that journey. Now, she offers a plain-spoken roadmap for navigating workplace pressure without losing yourself in the process.

For anyone who's felt the tension between excelling at work and staying human: this one's for you. This online event is free, but you must register your seat in advance!

Super Human: 8 "SMALL" Ways to Be Super at What You Do...and Human While You Do It launches the following day on April 21st. Get a preview of the content and hear Abby tell her story firsthand. We hope you'll come with questions and participate in the conversation!

Hope to see you there,

Nancy
