Not everyone needs their work to feel meaningful. For some, a job is a job – and that’s fair enough. For them. But for others, lacking purpose, meaning or enjoyment of work can gradually eat away at us. We know life is short, and the idea of letting that dread-and-drift cycle keep spinning until retirement - or worse - is simply unacceptable. It’s rarely recognised that for some of us, this is a matter of wellbeing. I’ve lost count of the number of purpose-seekers I’ve met who were in therapy for years, but finding work that clicked proved the turning point they needed. I co-founded Thriveherd to build something for that second group — the ones who need their work to matter, whether on a grand scale or just to themselves. Who are asking deeper questions about contribution, fulfilment and alignment. And who are looking for more than just another course or coach or checklist. We’re building a community platform for people and organisations who are rethinking the role – and opportunity – of work in their lives. It’s a space for: Purpose-seekers in transition, looking to reimagine what’s next Values-led organisations who want their people to feel engaged, supported and seen Conversations and content that speak to what work could be, not just what it is Our offerings include: Career coaching and career change support Money coaching and counselling Courses and structured programmes Live webinars, networking events and group sessions * CV, cover letter and LinkedIn support Personal branding tools and templates Accountability frameworks, expert resources and curated tools This isn’t self-help, but collective exploration and change. It’s not about certainty or conversion. It’s about connection, possibility and the chance to build a new relationship with work — one that feels more human and more authentic. Work that clicks.
