How can you have a career and a life you love, in a world which still isn't set up for you to do either of those things with ease?This is the question investment banker, mother and prolific side-hustler, Rebecca Anderton-Davies sets out to answer in this paradigm-shifting book. Turning the outdated concept of work-life balance on its head, she has created a framework comprising a series of 'dials', which sees work and life as an ever-shifting series of components. These dials reflect where you are now, and what you need to prioritise, in alignment with your ambitions, values and goals.Rebecca Anderton-Davies is an investment banker, yoga practitioner and sometimes teacher, author, community builder, wife, and mother of two young sons, based in London. 15+ years into a successful career as a banker, first as a currency sales-trader and now as a relationship manager, she is a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.While building her successful corporate career, she fell into yoga (literally getting hit by a truck and turning to it to heal), she has built two Instagram communities with a follower count of nearly 300k: her personal account where she shares her unique combination of yoga, career and family life, and her yoga community account. She published her first book - The Book of Yoga Self Practice - with Yellow Kite in 2020.You can follow Rebbeca online @rebecca.anderton.davies Hosted on Acast.

At the end of 2018, they settled on the idea of finding the best possible solution to carrying your phone whilst you worked out and called their company Freetrain. In the beginning, they cut designs out of old T-shirts and got our grandparents to stitch the first basic prototypes. There were lots of after school football sessions and part time jobs necessary to help fund the development and manufacture of our products, but they carried on with a single creative purpose: to give people more freedom while they train...

Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome pressure and succeed on the biggest stages.Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that one single trait above all others makes peak performance possible: confidence, or the belief in oneself. Whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, you perform best when you are so certain about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. What’s more, Dr. Zinsser has come to understand that confidence is a skill that can be taught, improved, and applied by anyone to enhance nearly every aspect of our lives and careers.You can buy Dr Zinsser’s book The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide to Unshakable Performance now.
