Welcome
Love. Work. Now.

Jana Schuberth is a Results Coach who challenges you to be unreasonable and create the life and work you are truly excited about. Apart from outstanding coaching skills, Jana brings 10 years of experience in the Marketing and Finance sector with her and clearly walks her talk having left the corporate world as a Chartered Accountant behind in the pursuit of true fulfilment.

Whilst her chickens, lots of books and a decaf coffee at Starbucks make her dizzily happy, Jana becomes a source of inspiration to others when sharing her knowledge in workshops or speaking engagements. Working with her leaves her clients full of energy, transformed and with real, tangible results.

It’s so nice of you to come by and take the time to get to know me. I hope that you will find this site full of resources and inspiration so you can turn your work-life around.

If you’re completely new to Love Work Now, I would suggest that you start by signing up above for my e-shots so that we can get to know each other. In my more or less weekly emails to you I share stories of people who created fascinating passion-filled careers for themselves, as well as coaching tools, resources, thought provoking concepts and anything else that I think will help you on your journey.

When you sign up, you will also receive my free 14-page Passion Project work book that will help you get unstuck and use three different exercises to learn what actually makes you excited and happy at work and what options you’ve got.

With the work book come 5 email lessons to help you become clearer on what it is you truly want.

Just like you I was once struggling to enjoy my work and so if you are interested to learn how I moved from being a Chartered Accountant to finding the work that makes me jump out of bed in the mornings and making it work financially then you can read more about me here.

I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with some incredibly talented and kind people, here some of them share what they thought about working with me and the results they created.

My clients often ask me about resources I recommend around Work, Money, Finding your Passion and other hot topics so here you can find some inspirational videos, books I love and other links and sites I often share.

If you are already set and ready to go I’d be thrilled for you to choose the coaching package that’s right for you where you now are and get to work with me.

But if you’re a little confused about where to start, why not give me a call over Skype or phone (+44-1509-890457).

I always love meeting new people and helping wherever I can so come and find me on Social Media, too, and say hi!

To get a feel for the stuff I share, check out these posts:

  • Inspiration often comes from seeing other people doing and having what you want so why not check out the video interviews I conducted with Chris Guillebeau, Jenny Blake and Laura Roeder to see how they created the lives they really wanted?
  • If you wonder what it takes to find the perfect work, read this.
  • But sometimes, I think we also have to be stuck in the ‘wrong’ job first so that we really know what we want. Catch 22?
  • Sometimes work can get just totally overwhelming and here and here I share some ideas of how to deal with it all.

So hopefully you’ll like what you see and sign up for receiving these posts regularly – they often help you expand your horizon and suggest ways how to deal with your situation and find new motivation and drive to change.

Want To Be Happy At Work? Don’t Go To University. [Infographic]

stonemasonry

Photo by Andreas Lange

My husband Andre and I talk about this a lot. You see, he is an architectural stonemason. Aged 17 instead of choosing the path of higher education, he decided to become a craftsman and went into an apprenticeship with some of Germany’s best stonemasons in the craft’s capital of Dresden.

There he learnt his trade practically and theoretically in depth: from stone materials, to geography, to geometrical drawings of very complex vaults and twisted stone staircases, to all the cutting and stone carving and sculpting techniques there are.

Whilst Andre may not have a degree in architecture or business, I think it’s safe to say that he has developed an outstanding reputation and expertise for his craft of stone masonry, sculpting and building work and has built a successful business. Instead of three years of studying behind a desk, he honed his craft inside and out of the workshop for the last 20 years, learning from the most highly skilled in his trade, even going on a journeymanship all over France for six years as is common for some tradesmen in Europe.

The problem he faces? Recruiting well trained and passionate (young) stonemasons.

Too many students nowadays think going into an apprenticeship is ‘uncool’ or won’t get them a (well-paid) job at the end of it, whereas – probably –  the opposite is true! Also I think apprenticeships have a bit of a bad rep when it comes to intelligence. It is about time that society at large appreciated that a university degree is no guarantee for smart workers.

This dilemma caused me to research a little bit into the argument of university vs. apprenticeships and I found a fantastic infographic from the City & Guilds. They are “the biggest name in vocational education”, with two million learners working towards one of their qualifications every year, offering more than 500 qualifications across 28 industries.

Interestingly, studies carried out in 2012 showed that not only did 60% of employers value apprentices’ skills over those of graduates for making a difference to their business from day one, but also that

people in vocationally-trained and skills-based jobs, such as hairdressers, gardeners, plumbers and electricians, were happier - 65% – compared to 58% of those in largely academically trained, office-based jobs.

They felt like there were doing something worthwhile and useful which, funnily enough only 35% of bankers could say.

In addition, it showed that self-employed people are overwhelmingly happier at 85% — no surprise to me at all.

So, I invite you to check it out and think twice before making the decision to go to university. What do you REALLY want to do AFTER the degree? Maybe there is a course to get you started right away? Unfortunately the City & Guild is yet to offer a course in stonemasonry, but maybe you find your vocation and calling amongst one of the courses anyway.

Happy Easter! (…And Why Shame Is Lethal)

Sunday, March 31

photoHello Jana,

I just wanted to wish you a very Happy Easter weekend and hope like me and my husband you are finding some time to wind down, enjoy nature and recharge your batteries after a busy first quarter of the year.

It doesn’t feel like Spring is around the corner here in the heart of England yet – there is still ice and snow all around our farm and the winter coat is still needed, for example as we went to Manor Organic Farm yesterday to take a look at this year’s new baby lambs.

As a little Easter treat I wanted to share these two video links with you from Dr. Brene Brown on Super Soul Sunday with Oprah.

 

I know I have shared a video with her before but this content is simply SO GOOD, “one-Aha-a-minute”- videos as Oprah so fitting says, that I couldn’t withhold this from you! If you have a spare hour, I’d highly encourage you to watch these shows.

In them Brene does not only explain the difference between shame and guilt and why

“Shame is Lethal”

but also shares other gems such as:

“‘Cool’ is the emotional straight jacket.”

“Compassion is not a pizza. It’s not finite, it’s not like there are only 8 slices of compassion.”

and

“You share with people who’ve earned the right to hear your story.”

Just take a notebook and a pencil (you’ll WANT to write stuff down), be inspired and enjoy!

In her book Daring Greatly, Dr. Brené Brown examines how the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent and lead. In this interview, she reveals how our greatest weaknesses may also be our greatest strengths. Watch the full episode on demand.

Are you living life to the full?

Friday, March 1

Recently, I discovered a couple of viral videos on Youtube that really made me wonder:

Am I living life to the full?

And what does that even mean?

Daring, having fun, living with excitement, loving courageously and wholeheartedly?

One thing is for sure, these people are having FUN! Or are they plain crazy? What do you think? Are you living life to the full? How?

 

Live greatly,

Jana

Be Unreasonable: Make 2013 Your Best Year EVER!

Tuesday, December 25

Growth comes from stretching yourself. It happens outside of the comfort zone. Whether in business, physically or mentally, when we break the boundaries of what we thought our limits were that’s when we become a better version of ourselves and an inspiration to others.

One thing I learnt about this year is the Power of Unreasonableness.

Being unreasonable means outrageously asking for what you KNOW is very demanding. It is pushy. Uncomfortable. Stressful at times. Tiring. But when done with the right intentions, when it is fulfilling big dreams and serving you and other people around you it is also hugely rewarding.

So without further ado, I want to challenge YOU, yes you, to be outragous, outstanding and unreasonable and create yourself the most awesome year you’ve ever had. And to get you off to a great start, I am sharing this immensely powerful tool with you to help you plan your year ahead:

Click HERE to download this FREE workbook “The POWER OF MOMENTUM” to rock YOUR 2013!

And if you play full out and mean it, send it back to me, filled with your juicy goals, by the 12th of January to get yourself a complimentary 45 minute strategy coaching session with me for fuh-reee!

Last but by no means least, I would love to share this phenomenal video with you, as a gift to you for Christmas:

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Click on the image above to watch this inspirational video!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a VERY very Happy New Year 2013!!

Are you having an incredible, outstanding day?

Wednesday, November 21

Courtesy of Pinterest

I’ve been having the most amazing days of my life recently! I mean super juicy, love-filled, jumping up and down kinda days. Even when I only had several nights of 4 and 5 hours sleep, I would leap out of bed, dance in the shower, feeling huge gratitude for my friends, family, my husband and my life, run faster, having outstanding coaching sessions with my clients and loving my life immensely.

“What happened? What changed?” I can hear your ask.

Just. The. Words.

Ever since learning about the power of Transformational Vocabulary from Tony Robbins I watch very carefully what I say and think. A ‘good’ day turns into an ‘outstanding’ day just because I choose a different word to describe it. A ‘problem’ becomes a ‘challenge’ I can master and rather than being ‘p***ed off’ things become ‘inconvenient’ and make me smile, just because of the choice of that word.

Especially for those of us that easily live in emotional states of anger and hopelessness, it is unbelievable what being mindful about your vocabulary can do for your life’s experience.

Words create meaning.

The economy could be ‘collapsing’ or ‘weaker than usual’. You could be at the most beautiful beach, with the love of your life, watching the sunset and say: “Oh that bird is ugly.” – different experience, is it not?

Meaning creates emotion.

The meaning we attach to things that happen in our lives and around us make us feel a certain way. If we choose to think of work as ‘a way to pay the bills’ it may create an emotion of indifference, bother, hassle, necessity. However, if we ‘live to give’ and ‘love to serve’ when doing our work, when you ‘go out to make a difference in your customers lives’, don’t you think you’d feel more juiced about getting out of bed?

Notice also, how powerful words are when you’re swearing, when you rant in anger and how they really intensify your emotions, your reality.

Emotion is life.

Life really is just a series of emotions. Time can be over in a second or last way too long, depending on how your feeling in the moment. I’d love to challenge you to make today an outstanding day by choosing much more of the happy, fulfilling vocabulary than usual. Try it out, see how you feel!

 

Lots of love,
