better work welcome issue

welcome to better work

Hey! It's Susan again, the creator of better work, and I'm excited you decided to stick around.

You're officially part of a community of strategic thinkers who want their success to feel as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

If you're like "Uh, did I miss something?" then you should read this recent announcement.

one week away from issue one!

We're one week away from the first official issue of better work.

Honestly? I can't wait for you to read it!

We're talking about why it's so hard to make friends as an adult, how friendships can make (or break) your career, and of course there's a John Wick reference.

Here's a little preview of the upcoming issue:

When you work on your friendships, you learn how to nurture relationships and build influence at work even if you don't have authority over them.

This directly applies to middle management who juggle the demands of the higher-ups above while also protecting their team from being stretched too thin.

Entrepreneurs are in a similar position where they have to keep their clients happy while also protecting their business interests.

Knowing how to work on a friendship teaches you how to influence others when you don't have power over them. You can't make people do anything; brute force only goes so far.

can I get your take on this?

New subscribers are being asked this question and I wanted to give you the same opportunity.

Tell me - which topic interests you most right now?

A) Decision fatigue amidst changes

B) Success but something's missing

C) Work-life integration

D) Purpose beyond performance

E) Other - tell me what's on your mind

Just hit reply with your letter.

Please. 🥺
