About this event
Work can look fine on paper and still feel flat in practice. If you’ve been productive, capable, and busy but still unsure where your real energy comes from, this group coaching session is designed to help you get specific about what makes work feel meaningful again. Whether you’re navigating a role as an employee, building a freelance path, or moving between both, this session focuses on one essential question: what actually sparks you at work? About the Event This is a group coaching session built for people who want more clarity, not more generic career advice. The theme, Crack the Code—Find Your Spark at Work - as an Employee & Freelancer, points to a practical challenge many people face: understanding how to identify the kind of work, conditions, and responsibilities that genuinely bring out their best. Rather than treating employees and freelancers as if they live in completely separate worlds, this session makes space for both. The reality is that many of the same questions show up in each setting: What kind of work gives you momentum? Where do you do your best thinking? What drains you, even when you’re “good at it”? And how do you make decisions that align with your strengths instead of just reacting to demands? The group format matters here. You won’t just sit and listen; you’ll be in a room with other people asking similar questions about energy, direction, and fit. That creates a more useful conversation, because hearing how others describe their patterns often helps you recognize your own more quickly. As a coaching session, the focus is on insight you can apply. Expect reflection, guided prompts, and discussion that help you move from vague frustration or curiosity to language you can actually use in your work life. What to Expect The session is likely to center on a mix of guided coaching, structured reflection, and group conversation. The goal is not to solve your entire career in one meeting, but to help you leave with a clearer understanding of where your spark lives and how to follow it more intentionally. You can expect space to explore questions like: What parts of your work consistently energize you? What kinds of tasks, environments, or client relationships pull you out of flow? How does your spark show up differently as an employee versus as a freelancer? What patterns have you been overlooking because they feel too ordinary or too familiar? What small shifts could help you create more alignment in your current work setup? Because this is a group coaching environment, there may be moments for both personal reflection and shared learning. That could include listening to others’ experiences, noticing common themes, and testing your own thinking out loud in a supportive setting. Sometimes clarity comes not from having the perfect answer immediately, but from finally asking the right question in the right room. Expect a pace that is thoughtful and focused. This is less about performance and more about honest insight. You do not need to arrive with a polished story about your career; it’s enough to come with curiosity about what feels off, what feels promising, or what you want more of in your day-to-day work. Why Attend A lot of people stay stuck because they only evaluate work by external markers: title, stability, income, flexibility, or reputation. Those things matter, but they don’t always tell you why one kind of work leaves you flat while another makes you feel switched on. This session helps you look at work through a more useful lens: energy, fit, motivation, and personal patterns. If you’re an employee, this can help you think more clearly about your role, responsibilities, and next move. You may leave with better language for what you need more of, what you need less of, and where you tend to thrive inside a team or organization. If you’re a freelancer, this can help you identify which projects, clients, and working styles support your best work. That kind of clarity can shape how you position yourself, what you say yes to, and how you build a more sustainable way of working. You may walk away with: A clearer sense of what energizes you at work Words for patterns you’ve felt but haven’t named yet Greater confidence in choosing work that fits you better Useful perspective from others navigating similar questions A stronger foundation for future career or business decisions Just as importantly, attending can remind you that uncertainty about work is not a personal failure. It’s often a sign that you’re ready for a more honest conversation about what motivates you and what kind of work life you actually want to build. Practical Details This event is listed as in person, so plan to attend onsite rather than online. If you’ve been craving a more grounded, real-time conversation about work than you typically get through messages or solo reflection, that setting can make a real difference. The session takes place on Wednesday, February 19 at 12:00 PM GMT+1. A midday time slot makes this especially useful for people who want to step out of the usual pace of the week, reset, and return to work with sharper perspective. A few helpful ways to prepare: Come ready to reflect honestly on your work life as it is right now Bring examples of moments when work felt energizing or draining Be open to hearing your own situation differently through group discussion Expect a coaching mindset focused on clarity and action, not perfection If you’ve been trying to figure out what kind of work actually fits you, this session offers a practical place to start. Not with vague motivation, but with better questions, sharper self-awareness, and a chance to reconnect with the part of work that makes you feel most alive.
