Make Your Work Work Better (Online Course)

A practical online course designed to help you identify what isn’t working at work and give you the tools to fix it.

The old way of working doesn’t work anymore. Not for most of us, anyway.

Maybe you’re not quite ready to hand in your resignation, but you’re not exactly thriving either.

You find yourself dreading Monday mornings, going through the motions, feeling vaguely resentful without being able to put your finger on exactly why. You know something needs to change. You’re just not sure what, or how.

That’s why I created this online course.

Work can (and should) work for you

Over 10 carefully crafted lessons, we’ll work through the real reasons work feels hard, draining or unfulfilling, and build up your toolkit so that you can not only identify what’s broken, but make the necessary repairs.

This isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about honest, practical, compassionate tools that will help you understand yourself better, communicate more effectively, protect your energy, and reconnect with what actually matters to you.

This course will help you to:

Get clear on exactly what isn’t working (and why)
Identify the quick wins you can action immediately
Recognise whether you’re dealing with boredom, burnout, or something else entirely
Build stronger, healthier boundaries at work (and beyond)
Communicate more honestly and effectively with colleagues, managers and clients
Understand your own energy… What drains it, what restores it, and how to keep your balance
Reconnect with your values, your meaning, and your WHY
Create a healthy, sustainable ecosystem in which work is one fulfilling part of a whole life

What’s covered in the 10 lessons:

Lesson 1: What Isn’t Working at Work?

We start by getting honest about where things stand… Clearing out the grievances and getting everything down on paper so we can see the full picture.

Lesson 2: Remove It or Improve It

Not every problem needs a dramatic solution. We’ll identify the quick wins first and start making meaningful changes right away.

Lesson 3: Boredom, Brakes or Burnout?

Learn to recognise the signs that something deeper is going on (and what to do about it before it gets worse.)

Lesson 4: The Three Questions

A deceptively simple daily practice that opens up a world of self-knowledge and self-care.

Lesson 5: Mind Your Membrane

Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re semi-permeable membranes. Learn how to let the good stuff in and keep the draining stuff out.

Lesson 6: Adulting

Discover how Transactional Analysis can transform the way you communicate at work. And why staying in your Adult ego state is the secret to almost every difficult conversation.

Lesson 7: Tell Yourself the Truth

We can only be honest with others when we’re telling ourselves the truth. This lesson helps you slow down, check in, and respond from a place of clarity rather than reaction.

Lesson 8: From Drain to Gain

Energy is a finite resource… But most of us spend it without a second thought. Learn to track your energy like a bank balance, and make sure you’re always generating more than you spend.

Lesson 9: Finding Your Why

When you understand your WHY… Your values, your meaning, your deeper purpose, so you can express it wherever you are and in whatever work you do.

Lesson 10: Enhance Your Ecosystem

Work is one element of your life, not the whole of it. This final lesson helps you build a balanced, sustainable personal ecosystem in which everything supports everything else.

How it works

The course is made up of 10 lessons, all easily accessible through the website on any device. You’ll receive instant access and a login email as soon as you enrol.

Work through the lessons entirely at your own pace, from your own space, in your own time. Each lesson includes practical tasks and reflection exercises to help you move from insight into action.

You’re also welcome to email any questions or insights along the way.

One more thing

I have spent years working with people who are unhappy, unfulfilled, or simply worn out at work. What I have learned, and what I want to share with you, is that the things that make work hard are rarely insurmountable. They are usually a combination of unclear boundaries, unspoken needs, misaligned values and energy that has been spent without being replenished.

The tools in this course are ones I use with my coaching clients every day. They are powerful precisely because they are simple, practical and immediately applicable. My hope is that by the end of this course, you will not only have a clearer picture of what hasn’t been working, but a real, workable plan for changing it.

Work can be meaningful. It can be energising. It can even be joyful. Let’s make it work better for you.

"Thank you to Judy for giving her valuable time to run her workshops at our NGO in Soweto. Burnout often affects people who have constant exposure to societal issues. Judy is an inspiration, and has the ability to sensitively connect with people on any level." Ingrid

“Judy is a very skilled life coach and trainer. She was able to put together an excellent programme to motivate and re-inspire our company’s sales team.” Kenneth Creamer, CEO, Creamer Media
“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
