What's essential for your dream career?

Collaboration

As a people person who sees the best in most folk, collaboration is an essential part of a happy working life for you. You are natural networker, even though you may not think of it this way to you, it's just getting on with people.

When you're excited by a new project or idea, you can't help sharing that enthusiasm with others and getting them involved, and you know that working with others brings out the best in you. You may be capable of getting on with things on your own, but it isn't long before it feels flat and joyless, or you just feel a bit lost.

With your developed sense of empathy, you can see most people's point of view, and you don't particularly like conflict, so there may be times when you struggle to make a decision that keeps everyone happy. But you usually find a way, partly because you can win people over and gain their trust.

You no doubt already know that a job within a team is your ideal environment, preferably with in-person contact, but virtual working can also be rewarding if it's a group effort with a shared goal and responsibilities. And ensuring you have some face-to-face contact during the working day - even just a coffee with a friend - will help you flourish.

Try a Little Kindfulness - Make kindness a conscious practice and infuse your life with everyday abundance, writes Dr David Hamilton

The more we care about others, the more we realise that most people are just like us - trying to figure things out and hoping for a good day. It's easier to fear what you don't know, but once you get to know people, the world seems a lot smaller and cosier. So next time you're tempted to scroll past someone's problem, dismiss someone's feelings, or just be in your own little bubble, remember: the world's a better place when we all give a little f*ck. Let's sprinkle that stuff everywhere like it's magical kindness glitter!

There's No Excuse to Slow Down! - Presenter, podcaster and author Gabby Logan talks to Psychologies about health, happiness, and overcoming hurdles in midlife...

Presenter, podcaster and author Gabby Logan talks to Psychologies about health, happiness, and overcoming hurdles in midlife...When TV presenter Gabby Logan started to experience brain fog in her late 40s, struggling to recall the correct word or name on live TV, she initially put it down to tiredness. 'I couldn't quite get that name or articulate in the way I had previously been able to, so I was concerned, but it coincided with lockdown and not doing any telly for a while. I remember feeling quite nervous going back to live TV.' But the former international gymnast soon realised that it was a symptom of perimenopause and promptly went onto HRT, which she says has balanced her hormones.

Summer break or make!

Hello, lovers! September is here, and the lazy holiday season is behind us. And for many-me included - now feels like the perfect opportunity for a personal kick up the backside, and to embark on a relationship reset. In my work, it's typically women who take the first steps accessing couples' help, but recently (and encouragingly) I've noticed an uptick in men reaching out to get relationship advice and wanting to put the work in.
