This is the final episode in a mini-series focused on setting you up for a successful and fulfilling 2025.

Today, I'm sharing my conversation with Marcus Buckingham, bestselling author and renowned research director, about understanding the hidden patterns that drive career success.

Marcus spent two decades at Gallup Organization co-creating the StrengthsFinder tool, built his own coaching and education firm, and now leads research at the ADP Research Institute.

He's the author of 10 books, including his latest, Love + Work, which explores how we can find meaning and fulfilment in our professional lives.

TALKING POINTS:

Identifying "Red Threads" - the unique patterns of work that naturally energise you
Attention as a creative act - how paying attention shapes your career opportunities
Redefining strengths beyond performance - understanding what truly motivates you
The specificity of professional passion - why precise activities matter more than broad interests
Brain chemistry and career fulfilment - how doing what you love changes your neurological response
