“Anything is possible but not everything is possible”
Straight out of college, Josh fell into accounting (because that's what you did, right?). However, very quickly, he realised that it wasn't for him and it was during those two years that he realised, for many people, work was just not enjoyable. But, having seen and experienced a few moments when people were in their element (or what he refers to as 'having that 'tingly feeling''), he knew there was more that companies and individuals could be doing to get the most from each other.
So his career took a major turn and, today, Josh is an author (with three books under his belt), a speaker and a coach. In this episode, I talked to him about his most recent book, '5 days to your best work yet, a very practical guide and workbook designed to help readers identify what they can do to get more out of work.
