Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 375.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day, I interview someone from around the world who has discovered her talents to do work she loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

Once a week, I interview a well-known expert from the fields of personal or business development who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners along their journeys.

Today, I'm delighted to bring you our featured expert, Michelle McQuaid. Welcome, Michelle.

Hey, Dan, it's great to be with you. It is great to be with you, too. A few words about Michelle.

Michelle McQuade is a best-selling author, workplace well-being teacher, and change activator. With more than a

decade of senior leadership experience in large organizations around the world, she's passionate

about translating cutting-edge research from positive psychology and neuroscience into practical

strategies for health, happiness, and business success. An honorary fellow at Melbourne University's Graduate School of Education,

she blogs for Psychology Today, Huffington Post, and Live Happy.

And her work has been featured in Forbes, the Harvard Business Review,

the Wall Street Journal, Boss Magazine, The Age, and more.

So today's topic is fascinating, certainly right in line with our thesis,

which is how to do more of what you do best. So set the table for our listeners around the world

and tell us how that fits in. Well, Don, as you talk about so often on this program,

most of us don't feel like we have a chance to do what we do best each day at work. So many of us are perhaps struggling to truly feel engaged in the jobs that we have for all sorts of good reasons. And often when we're in that state, we feel a little helpless, a little overwhelmed, a little despairing at time, that either perhaps, you know, we need to change jobs

entirely that we're in the wrong job, perhaps we feel like we have bosses or colleagues that

don't make it easy to do what we do best, perhaps we don't feel respected and appreciated

for that part of it, or we just don't know maybe how to tap into those parts of ourselves

or even what those parts of ourselves are.
