How did it begin?

The study of the relation of men and woman to their work is as old as study itself. The just reward for a day’s work, the fruits of man’s labour, which has been debated since biblical times, is at the heart of industrial relations theory, productivity drives, the north-south divide, free trade and global developmental economics.

It has also been a central theme of modern psychology since the 1960s and remains a key part of our post-industrial analysis of man and society.

The Bring YourSELF to Work campaign has been conceived and developed, in response to the increasing psychological demands of making a living, by a group of international life and business coaches assisted by a range of professionals from various fields. The original inspiration for taking action now came from Brinley Platts as part of a Landmark Education Self-Expression and Leadership training programme.

The leadership group of Brinley, Rob Harley, Gill Barstow, Kate Burton and Ian Linnegan have given their time freely to the campaign so that participation can be free and open to all.

Bring YourSELF to Work is for anyone who wants to take part in the birth of an international movement to get involved at the outset, to take early benefit and to contribute towards making Bring YourSELF to Work Day an annual event on a global scale. If you like the idea of being a champion for this cause and a pioneer in your own development, register now.
