WORK
Work is a very large part of many of our lives. It takes an enormous
number of different forms: teachers, prison officers, small business
owners, accountants, musicians, civil servants… the list is
almost endless. Each has its own skills and its own potential
problems.
Clearly an outsider cannot know all about the technical skills
involved each of these. And yet there are certain things that an
outsider can see more clearly just because of the perspective it
gives. Furthermore there are many things that can arise in any
context. For example it is common to ask if we should try to adapt to
a situation, or should look for a new position which would not need so
much accommodation. Similar common issues are how do deal with
pressures from a boss, or the stresses of a poor organisational
structure.
At times I am consulted by someone who owns a business or is high in
management. In those cases it is worth noting that my services can
reasonably be seen as a worthwhile business expense. Such people have
at times told me that it is difficult to confide in someone connected
to the business, as they are often “a part of the problem”.
It can then be relaxing and refreshing to talk things over in perfect
confidence with an intelligent outsider.
