Feeling checked out at work?

Remember that rush of excitement you got when you landed your last job?

But now it’s a few years in, and you’re feeling … well, not quite so excited, to say the least. Why is it so hard to stay engaged in a role a few years in?

Maybe you’ve got a boss that you don’t vibe with, or maybe your team just feels a little bit off.

It’s not just you: stats show that a whopping 77% of people are disengaged at work*.

Welcome to Out Of Office

We share real, honest conversations about what it’s actually like to build a career, and we don’t shy away from talking about the hard stuff.

We wanted to create a space where people could talk openly about disengagement and the challenges they face at work.

We share real, honest advice (so pretty much: the opposite of 99% of content on LinkedIn) to help you navigate tricky situations in the office and manage them with ease.

THINGS WE LIKE TO TALK ABOUT

  • What to do when you’re feeling disengaged at work

  • How to manage up, whilst maintaining your sanity

  • Navigating change and advocating for yourself in the office

  • Finding the elusive work/life balance

Hey, I’m Alex.

I’ve spent the past decade working at some pretty epic companies like Red Bull, Squarespace and Quiksilver.

I honestly thought each role was my dream role at the start, and couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. But then after a while, the cracks started to show. Reorgs. Bad bosses. Redundancies. Missed promotions… the list goes on.

Over the years, I’ve worked with coaches, done courses and read countless books to help with some of the challenges. But at the end of the day, nothing beats chatting with someone that just gets it.
