The Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast is now three years old, a huge thank you to the amazing listeners and guests for their support. I have learnt so much from the guests and wanted to share some of the insights and lessons that I have picked up from them and share some of my journey for those new to the show. To help me celebrate this milestone, I invited my good friend Aoife O’Brien, the host of the Happier at Work® podcast to interview me on Episode 70 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
In this episode, we will learn about:
Expanding your comfort zone and being open to new possibilities,
Being honest about your strengths and trying to finding roles which align with them,
Opportunities are more available than you realise,
Taking ownership and control of your career management,
How learning Japanese in evening classes whilst working, indirectly helped me to move departments,
The value of updating your CV in real time,
How stories which highlight your strengths can help you stand out in an interview,
How my interest in neuroscience arose from looking at techniques to enhance decision making,
How the skills that I learnt from playing top level sport, helped my career development,
There are many different paths to success and not letting setbacks hinder your progress,
Focus on your own journey and don’t compare yourself to others and
Regularly checking your progress to see if it's in line with expectations and that you're heading towards the goal you want.
