She speaks to a new world where perks and prestige have taken a back seat to values and meaning, and offers a fresh and timely playbook for reaching one’s greatest potential. She grounds her lessons in the Four Pillars of Spiritual Strategy—inquiring inward, manifesting mindfully, enriching your energy, and becoming brilliant. Drawing on these spiritual strategies for creativity, performance, and mind-body resilience, Tran speaks on how to bring our entire (and best) selves to work. Tran cautions us against approaching our careers with a “mechanical work” mentality (following the prescriptions given by peers, colleagues, and society) that often leads us to becoming overworked, burnt out, and unfulfilled. Instead, she advocates for “intuitive work” (following our inner voice or gut feeling) to find success, happiness, and fulfillment in both our professional and personal life. A big believer in post-work, Tran provides concrete takeaways that employees can practice beyond the workshops to continue building a foundation for personal growth.
