June 27, 2023 Shifting the Dials with Rebecca Anderton-Davies
How can you have a career and a life you love, in a world which still isn't set up for you to do either of those things with ease?
This is the question investment banker, mother and prolific side-hustler, Rebecca Anderton-Davies sets out to answer in this paradigm-shifting book. Turning the outdated concept of work-life balance on its head, she has created a framework comprising a series of 'dials', which sees work and life as an ever-shifting series of components. These dials reflect where you are now, and what you need to prioritise, in alignment with your ambitions, values and goals.

Rebecca Anderton-Davies is an investment banker, yoga practitioner and sometimes teacher, author, community builder, wife, and mother of two young sons, based in London. 15+ years into a successful career as a banker, first as a currency sales-trader and now as a relationship manager, she is a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.

While building her successful corporate career, she fell into yoga (literally getting hit by a truck and turning to it to heal), she has built two Instagram communities with a follower count of nearly 300k: her personal account where she shares her unique combination of yoga, career and family life, and her yoga community account. She published her first book - The Book of Yoga Self Practice - with Yellow Kite in 2020.
