Is success really about working harder—or working smarter?

In this episode of Career Uninterrupted, host Lochan is joined by Chris Croft —a Cambridge-educated former senior manager turned globally acclaimed trainer, author, and keynote speaker. With over 87,000 people trained in-person and 18 million online learners, Chris is the UK’s leading expert on time management, project management, leadership, negotiation, productivity, and happiness.

Together, they dismantle the hustle-worship culture that equates exhaustion with achievement. What if ambition could energise you instead of draining you? What if “laziness” was actually a sign of clarity, boundaries, and focus?

Expect an honest conversation on:

- Where the “burnout = success” narrative came from

- Why ease at work is still viewed with suspicion

- The idea of “intentional laziness” and its role in building a sustainable career

- Why doing less can sometimes lead to sharper thinking and better outcomes

- How to unlearn guilt when work feels easy- What redefining success could look like for mid-career professionals

This episode is about designing a career that energises rather than depletes you—one that’s built around what matters, not just what impresses.
