About this listen
An accessible and approachable guide to work and careers from a trusted and authoritative source, looking at the new way of working in a post-pandemic world, no matter what stage of your career you’re at.
Whether you’re the boss, the deputy or on your way up, the way we’re working in a post-pandemic world is forever changed. This is a book about how to make working work for you, packed with expert analysis and ahead-of-the-curve workplace trends and the examining old habits we need to lose. Bringing in expert opinion and personal experiences, there's key takeaways summarised at the end of each chapter.
This modern guide can be used by everyone – both employed and self-employed. The book is split into two sections – Staff and Managers. This works for both groups, as most people are managed and/or aspire to be higher up and so can be dipped into for expert advice and guidance at any stage of your career.
Covering topics as wide-ranging as the four-day working week, bridging the workplace generation gap, making sure your company walks its diversity talk, quiet quitting and the great resignation, achieving workplace equality and even micro-dosing for creativity, The Future-Proof Career spreads the word so we can all have happier, more productive lives. Get ahead of uncertainty and take control of your career.

Everything you need to know right now about work
I loved this book. I'm about to leave the company I've worked at for 20 years, my entire adult life, so you could say I'm going through somewhat of a transition when it comes to work. Some days I feel utterly elated about the prospect of leaving and other days I feel petrified. So I was looking for a bit of guidance and inspiration (plus, listening to an audio book meant I didn't need to listen to my own thoughts, added bonus). What I actually got in this book, was so much more. Highly relatable and relevant content, new ideas and confirmation that I might be doing the right thing here and all is not lost. Have recommended widely to professional contacts that I like and my family members. Am still in two minds about whether to share it with past toxic bosses to see if they recognise themselves. Might do that at Christmas.
Thank you Isabel, it's been a joy.

A good help to structure thoughts 💭
Great book to evaluate where you stand and how you can move forward in an environment in constant change. The plus for me was the keys points at the end of each chapter

Excellent & engaging book
This is a very well researched and written book delivered superbly by the author herself. I'd probably describe it as a Swiss Army Knife of workplace and career advice, covering a wide variety of topics that you WILL encounter in the workplace and in your career. It offers practical solutions to help you navigate the waters and is a gem of a book.

Brilliantly written, priceless advice
Personable, self-aware, authentic and somewhat raw… the best practical advice and wisdom-packed book I have come across in a long while. Brilliantly written, of course, which one book expect from one of the best Financial Times columnists and podcasters… this book is the closest one can have to Wendy Rhoades from Billions… on how to navigate workplace issues and future-proof one’s career… in an audio book format!
