Lucy on life
Hello, I’m Lucy 👋 I’m a former charity CEO, now a leadership consultant and coach. On YouTube I share what I’ve learned about being happy at work and in life.
After 30+ years leading teams in business, public services and non‑profits, I know the truth: work can lift us up or wear us down. This channel is for people who want clarity, confidence, and balance.
I founded ChangeOut to help leaders, boards and teams thrive. I bring those lessons, alongside reflections from my own journey, to inspire and support you. Expect practical tips on careers, leadership mindset, building inclusive teams, and overcoming burnout or self‑doubt. You’ll also find honest reflections on purpose and happiness. Work is only one part of a fulfilling life.

Happy Christmas and a huge welcome! 🎄
I wanted to take a moment to welcome all the new people who have joined the channel recently - it’s wonderful to have you here!
To new and existing subscribers alike, thank you so much for watching. I started this channel six months ago and, guided by your feedback, I’m so excited about the plans for 2026 and beyond ☺️
There won't be a new video today as I’m taking a leaf out of my own book and having some time off to recharge. I truly hope you’re able to step away from work and do the same. We all deserve a break 😀
My next video will be out next Wednesday - specifically designed to help anyone dealing with those "back-to-work blues."
Happy holidays✨

We did it! 1000 subscribers! 🎉
THANK YOU. When I started this channel, I didn't know if anyone would watch, let alone 1000 of you.
Whether you’ve been here since video #1 or you just joined today, thank you for being part of the team.
A special shout out to @spicelandgirl who was here back when I was celebrating 9 subscribers! 😀
To everyone who has clicked the like button, shared their story, or left a kind word in the comments, you are the reason I keep creating. Knowing that I’m helping people means the world to me.
I am excited for 2026 and continuing to make content that helps people to be happy in work - and in life.
There’s a little break this Wednesday and then I’m back to regular weekly uploads from Dec 31 ❤️

I’m interviewing an experienced recruitment consultant for my channel early in January and I’m wondering what you’d like to know?
As we look ahead to 2026, I know many of you are thinking about your next chapter. I’m recording a special podcast episode with an expert recruitment consultant, and I want to ask the questions that really matter to you.
Are you worried about ageism? Interested in how recruiters are using AI - if they are? Struggling to translate your charity experience for renewed roles? Or maybe you just want to know why recruiters never call back?
Pop your ideas and questions in the comments below. I’m keen to help demystify the hiring process!

Good morning!
I’m just putting the finishing touches to today’s video which is a remake of an early video about workplace bullying which I made when I first started the channel.
I didn’t have a proper microphone and I didn’t know anything about editing so there are some major technical issues which have been troubling me.
Plus! I had some really interesting feedback from viewers about their bullying experiences so I thought I’d do an updated remake for everyone that’s finding my channel now.
The new one will be live this afternoon at 1730 UK time.
Have a lovely day
Lucy

I want to say a very warm welcome to my new subscribers!
Over 600 of you now - thank you for being here 😀 and I wish you a happy and relaxing weekend.
I made a video to introduce what this channel is all about so you know what to expect over the coming months (maybe years!)
I publish new content every Wednesday about how to navigate workplace challenges with confidence and build a fulfilling career and I'm always happy to hear from you about what topics would be helpful.
There's more in this week's explainer:
