Barry Bloch is an organisational psychologist and an expert in finding your true north. He's spent most of his life helping people find excitement, meaning and purpose in their careers, charitable roles and beyond the workforce as they head into their third act. He’s someone who’s spent a lot of time coaxing and supporting people through what can be a transformational phase of self-doubt and self-discovery in Prime Time.

Barry talks openly about how everyone should take the time to look for their true north, and why it’s so important to the next phase of our lives and yet so difficult in our Prime Time years. 

In this episode, Barry Bloch unravels the psychology behind finding your sense of purpose, at a time of life when you have CHOICE, often for the first time in decades. 

In episode 9 of Prime Time, host Bec Wilson and Barry Bloch discuss: 

•  A sense of purpose is one of the most fundamental needs

• The critical questions you MUST ask yourself to find your true north, and how to stop and understand the footprint you want to leave on the world

• The acts or phases of our lives, and how we can transform ourselves in our Prime Time very intentionally with this in mind

• Why work-life balance is a complete misnomer

• The right to joy, and how to acknowledge and chase that right in the second half of life

• Losing a sense of self, and how to get it back at this very important time of your life; And how we have to drive through a period that can feel difficult as we transform

• Re-defining yourself outside of your career, far beyond your job title or skills, thinking about what you want to be and how that affects your choices in life

• Really thinking about what drives your sense of satisfaction
