Work Your Magic

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted corporate life as we know it—and become a tipping point for a change that’s long overdue. But how do we make that change happen? It’s easy to become overwhelmed by what to do next and end up taking a scattergun approach, making lots of changes without really considering exactly what it was about work that was not working. But Sharon Darmody—founding director of Strive Occupational Rehabilitation, a group dedicated to helping organizations improve the health and well-being of their staff—is here to help.

In this interactive, easy-to-follow guide, Darmody provides readers a clear pathway to diagnosing the specific issues at play in their workplace, and what they need to do to make a change. She encourages people to get their heads out of the sand, really look at where their workplaces are at, and acknowledge what we have all known for some time—that workplaces are not working, and it’s time to stop ignoring the signs and start overhauling the system.

Straightforward, approachable, and informed by Darmody’s twenty-five-plus years as an organizational coach and consultant, Work Your Magic is an indispensable roadmap for creating a new work order that actually works.
