Sinead Brady, Total Reset
Total Reset
Sinead Brady, Total Reset. In Total Reset Ireland’s leading career psychologist, Sinéad Brady is here to show you that your job doesn’t have to make you feel this way and that by resetting your relationship with work you can take back control of your career, and your life. The key to making this change? A fundamental shift in how we think about work and the part it plays in our lives. To do this, we’ll need to debunk age-old myths that influence our decisions – like the idea of the ‘work-life balance’ – look at how key moments in our working life can come to define us, and reassess our true priorities.
