How to get the future career you want by dreaming big, planning ahead and acting now.

What are you doing today to make your dream future come true?

We all have big ambitions for the future, but those dreams only become reality if we do something towards them regularly. To achieve audacious goals, we need to take action and make small changes every day. We need to think big and act small.

Whether you fantasise about changing industry, landing that big promotion, writing a screenplay, or setting up your own company, Think Big creates a clear pathway to the future you want. Using cutting-edge research from behavioural science, Professor Grace Lordan offers immediate actionable solutions and tips that will help you get a tiny bit closer to your dream career every day. Like how to:

  • Overcome a fear of failure and throw yourself at opportunity
  • Craft the optimum environment for work and give yourself ample time for tasks
  • Rewrite self-narratives and tackle imposter syndrome
  • Watch out for other people's biases and stop them from holding you back

Think Big provides a practical framework to keep you moving in the right direction. It will help you get out of your own way and propel you on the path to success as you transform from dreamer to doer!
