Questions, Answers & Insights

We’re looking at your Happiness;Success Formula this week! Join coach Julia Seal in this Q&A episode to investigate your definition of success, where it comes from and what you’ve included.

At first, the Happiness:Success link seems like a real chicken-and-egg dilemma with everyone weighing in on what comes first, Happiness or Success? Everyone – from Success Magazine, Spike Milligan and Ingrid Bergman to Aristotle and Mark Twain. We create some clarity by diving into the latest research from Standford, Harvard, Gallup and Berkeley on how to be successful – and what it means to be professionally and personally happy at work.

Then, we take a look at your outward measures of Success AND your inward measures, including your happiness misalignment and buffering activities, such as overworking, overeating and overdrinking – even over-playing Solitaire on Solitaire Day!

This ensures our versions of success are as robust and individual as the versions of Happiness we’ve been creating on the podcast > so your version of the Happiness:Success formula is useful and inspiring in your Midlife. All the free coaching tools from Series 1 will help you here.

To help us think more deeply about our own Happiness:Success formula we end off considering THE killer interview question as well as the work of famous Russian author Leon Tolstoy, Buddhist teacher on dying, Stephen Levine and Ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius.

“May you be Happy, May you be Free – there is no better time to coach together!”
