#92 REBECCA ANDERTON-DAVIES - Senior investment banker, yogi & author of Shifting the Dials
Rebecca Anderton-Davies (@rebecca.anderton.davies ) is a trailblazing senior investment banker, yoga practitioner, author, wife, and mother of two young sons, based in London. She has over 15 years experience as a successful banker, first as a currency sales-trader and now as a relationship manager, she is a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.
While building her successful corporate career, she fell into yoga (literally getting hit by a truck and turning to it to heal), she has built two lnstagram communities with a follower count of nearly 300k: her personal account where she shares her unique combination of yoga, career and family life, and her yoga community account. She published her first book - The Book of Yoga Self Practice - with Yellow Kite in 2020. Her latest book - Shifting the Dials - is out now; a ground-breaking, fresh new approach on how to thrive in your career, your family life and your personal life, all at the same time. Shifting the Dials is an innovative guide to having a flexible, empowering perspective on working life - not seeing work and life as a simple binary, but a series of multi-dimensional and constantly evolving priorities that takes into account work, family, marriage and life goals. With case studies, prompts and questions, this book asks readers to reflect on their own personal priorities in order to create a plan that is unique to their individual needs.
