Cat cafe or hair salon as your office: Can you get work done?

Hello there! I’m Sue-Ann, and for the past several months, my team and I have been working hard to bring you the new version of the HeadSTart newsletter.

If you are already a subscriber to the e-mail newsletter, you might have noticed some changes over the past few weeks. Today marks the official launch of the revamped version of HeadSTart, where on top of a new look and feel, we will also be bringing you fresh elements. This includes an eight-episode video series titled We Try First.

The We Try First series will feature us getting out of the office and testing out life, career and adulting hacks, and hopefully learning some important lessons on how we can all optimise our adult lives in the process. Which we will also share and reflect upon weekly.?

Get exclusive access to the video series by subscribing to our e-mail newsletter.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the other stories I've picked out this week.
