Books

My books are interrelated and build on each other. They are a distillation of the trials and tribulations that so many of my clients go through, and they all combine easy to read (and process) ideas and information, along with easy to apply tools and skills.

All of the books are available for online purchase. Make Work Work For You is on the shelves at most bookshops.

Make Work Work For You contains practical solutions for common work challenges like toxic environments, burnout, conflict management and more. Using the Wheel of Work as a foundation, this book will guide in identifying actionable changes, illustrated through diverse case studies. While staying in a job might not always be a choice, this book takes you on a journey and shows you that we all possess the agency to change how we approach our work.

Available now on the shelves at all good book stores.

Recover From Your Childhood unveils the lasting impact of challenging childhoods on adult lives, highlighting how childhood fears shape one's existence. If you were a remarkably responsible child but now feel vulnerable during stressful times, you likely identify as an adult child. The book explores traits from unpredictable childhoods, such as an unattainable pursuit of perfection and a struggle to trust, offering transformative self-discovery tools for healing and positive change, not in WHO you are, but HOW you are in the world.

  • “Judy's Make Work Work For You workshop was the best gift I could give myself - a focused few hours with no outside distractions to engage with some issues which had been bothering me but which I always felt I didn't have enough time to really think about. I left the workshop with a range of new ideas, and practical actionable items ranging from something I could do the very next day to steps I wanted to take over the coming weeks and months.” Mieke
  • “I thoroughly enjoyed Making Work Work for me. Since the workshop I have enjoyed lunch time breaks away from my laptop. The Wheel of Work exercise was such an eye opener for me. I am more mindful that I need to nuture myself outside of work too. How to restore and energise myself so I don't burn out is so important. I am more than just my work self. I highly recommend working with Judy, she is encouraging and you deserve to do this course for yourself.” Gwynnevere Salgado
  • “I loved the course – you gave us all the wonderful gift of your experience and expertise. I loved the way you held the space for us. I found the experience insightful and uplifting. And what a lovely group of people we were.” Workshop Participant
  • “This has been a life changing programme for me. I kept feeling that it was custom designed specifically for me: from the title which grabbed my attention immediately, to the course outline which spoke to my heart and soul, and then to the session content and application which has tested my being from the roots to the tips of my branches. I realise now that there are many souls who have been lost and searching just like me. After six weeks I feel alive, vibrant, hopeful and at ease for the first time that I can remember.” Brenda Scott
