Numerous stories on post-lockdown changes<\/b> are pouring out online. Lockdown has allowed some to take action after thinking about change for a long time, and for others it has been a trigger..<\/p>

This is the case for Marc, 42, sales director in IT : \u00ab lockdown has made me realise that I have devoted the last ten years to my professional life.
