A real world guide to get clear, find purpose and become the boss of busy.
The traditional -9 to 5' working hours no longer exist. We're now plugged in to our devices 24/7, and losing sight of ourselves whilst drowning in the doing. In a relentless change environment everyone is busy, but the heavy focus on productivity over the past two decades has dismally failed. Too many have checked out, are burnt out or are freaking out " and we're all suffering as a result. It's time to reclaim our health, happiness and sanity; even amongst the busyness it's time to Stand Out.
Written by psychologist and best-selling author Alison Hill, the forthcoming book Stand Out is a practical guide to getting clear on what matters and stop doing the stuff that just doesn't. Having worked with clients such as PepsiCo, McDonalds, Siemens, Sydney Water, BHP Billiton & Bond University, Alison's research unpacks simple models, robust diagnostics and practical strategies to help readers create change to live with real purpose and progress. She shows how to:
Treat self-care as an imperative for success
Connect to what's important here and now
Stop being distracted by busy and put purpose to action
Take control of your day, your path and your life
Accessibly written with plenty of relatable anecdotes and examples, Stand Out empowers readers with the tools, tips and strategies needed to stop being 'busy' and start getting ahead.
Alison Hill is Australia's coolest psychologist. A regular on mainstream TV and in print media, she is the co-founder of Pragmatic Thinking, a behaviour and motivation strategy company that carries a client list such as Pepsico, Suncorp, McDonald's and Siemens, to name a few.

Question: What inspired the concept of Stand Out?
Alison Hill: The concept behind Stand Out was inspired by my own experience struggling with the overwhelm of busyness, and hearing this from the multitude of executives and leaders I was connecting with in my work. The reality is that busy and change is not going away, so waiting for calm is useless hope. We need a different approach to being able to get stop drowning in the doing. In the book I tackle the following questions:
