Our guest today is Lily Woi, Executive Leadership Coach and an introvert herself,  is sharing her wisdom on how to become successful as an introvert in an extroverted world. Lily's Journey“I reshaped my career by 180 when I hit my limit and could not imagine living another day of not achieving my full potential. My journey is serving as an inspiration to many people, from naively letting my company mould me into another corporate consultant to breaking free, taking charge of my career and carving out a role for myself in my company that fits my passion”.“I get how hard it is to put in a lot of effort, try your best to succeed in your career and still feel you're not seeing the outcomes you want. I am fortunate that after years of experience, many failures, a lot of self-reflection, support from mentors, plenty of hard work and a bit of luck, I got to the other side. Not everyone had the same fortune".Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration? Why not take our ten minutes career test? Just click here to start the test.

Our guest today is Mpume Ncube-Daka, who is the Founder & CEO of Change Conversation and corporate-level coach.But before then that… in Mpume Words:“I love change. The only thing I love more than change is change conversations, mostly because of what follows in people’s careers when powerful discussions take place. People grow, they succeed, and ultimately, their lives change.I earned my stripes in the corporate world, experiencing the entire array of career steps from joining as a graduate to rising in the ranks, not getting promotions and being told I wasn’t visible enough. And then rising up again to reach the top of my game at JSE-listed entities as well as multinational businesses. Today I am a corporate-level coach, and my joy is in growing dreams, inviting innovation, entering the world of entrepreneurship, and creating clear, achievable business strategies. Let’s have a conversation, preferably one about change".Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

Would you life to change your life and the world at the same time but think the two things together are impossible? Are you part of GEN Z and think that the only options you have are to get a high paid job you hate or a meaningful job with a low pay? There are other options and you can discover them by listening to this episode. Our guest today is Seven Jacobs, Founder of StartrHub, which is creating a learning and networking ecosystem for today's entrepreneurs. But before then that… in Seven Words:“When I was 18, I was at a crossroads. I desperately wanted to make the world a better place. I desperately wanted to make my life better too, after a life of crippling social, financial, and mental health issues. But I thought changing my life and the world at the same time was impossible. Perhaps I’d need a high paying job I’d hate.But I got lucky. I was asked to support with an entrepreneurial project delivering a mentoring programme for Nando’s. Through that, an org I was involved with gave me a copy of a book one of it’s co-founders (Holly Branson) co-authored, called WEconomy. I took it with me while I lived in a mountaintop village in Nepal for a few months. There, totally out of my comfort zone and in a much more basic environment, I learned about something that changed my life: Social entrepreneurship.I thought changing my life and changing the world at the same time was impossible. But here was something giving me the exact formula for it! My life ever since has been all about changing the world through sustainable, socially-minded innovations”.      Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

Our guest today is Scott Johnson Managing director of The Proper Blokes Club.In Scott's words:"The Proper Blokes Club (TPBC) started in September 2020 with a simple Facebook page. It showed videos of me walking around my favourite local spots, talking about the issues I’ve had in the past, and seeing if any local lads could resonate with how I was feeling, and hopefully get something out of it. It reminded me that I was not alone in this struggle.After a couple of months and a break in lockdown, we were allowed to meet in groups. So I decided to put the word out on the local Facebook groups to see if anyone would like to join me on a walk and talk. One lad turned up and it’s grown weekly since. At this point, we currently have three locations, which are in Southwark, Greenwich, and Wallington (London), and we are still growing.The quick growth of the group has shown me that this is something that is really needed in all communities.Today Scott is going to talk about his career, his mission with The Proper Blokes Club, and the importance of mental health for men.  Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

Our guest today is Nicoleta Porojanu, Psychologist, Therapist, Educator, and Founder of The Significant You, a mental health charity that provides mental health education and campaigns to raise awareness and promote individual and collective knowledge of mental health in England and Wales.In Nicoleta's words:“I struggled in life a lot, probably like you did, and my studies and training did not help much. I remember starting my career feeling completely helpless in my role as a clinical psychologist in a palliative care hospital, working with the dying and their many regrets, unfulfilled dreams, and ruptured relationships left behind.Time passed and despite my clinical work, personal therapy, and ongoing training in psychotherapy and counselling, I kept busy and I was still trapped in my programmed mind when I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in my mid-40s. What saved me was a profound spiritual awakening I had from the bed of an A&E department in a London hospital when I nearly died from a chest infection two months into my chemotherapy treatment”.Today Nicoleta is going to talk about her career, spiritual awakening, and the importance of taking responsibility for our mental health during our journey to self-realisation. Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

What is a green job? Will we all transition to a green job?Why 50% of jobs will be impacted in some measure by climate change? What are the reasons that make green jobs great opportunities for the new generations? What are some tips and tricks to successfully transition to a green job? Joseph Gelfer, career changer and Founder of Ecotopian Careers – a company helping people during their career transition to green jobs – is the latest guest of The Career Changers. “Like many others, I spent years trying to figure out what I can do to be part of the solution to climate change. I made changes to my lifestyle such as being vegetarian, recycling and living very modestly. But what I really wanted to do was to make climate change the focus of my working week. However, I realized that it’s hard to make significant professional changes in mid-career. There are many obstacles that make such changes difficult: some of these are to do with individual circumstances, and others with social expectations and prejudices”.Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

"For some people, rock bottom is a trampoline. It springs them up from the depths, back into the light, fueled by a decision never to experience that low again. Or to help make sure other people don't end up there either." I knew I had to share with others who were also struggling so I’m here to help you do the same – and this line from the book, Do Over, by Jon Acuff sums it up nicely.Our guest today is Lindsay Gordon, career coach for analytically minded people, Forbes Next 1000 Honoree, and Author of the upcoming book "Right For YOU”.Lindsay said “I hit career dissatisfaction rock bottom in 2014.I was feeling disengaged and undervalued and couldn't shake my negative attitude. Turns out, my manager and colleagues calling me out was the kick in the butt I needed.The problem is, I was hyper-focused on all the negative parts of my job. What I needed to do was understand why my current role wasn't a good fit for me and discover what would be a good fit.By learning about myself and what I wanted, I could understand (and communicate) what would be a good fit.I started doing any exercise I could find that would help me reflect on what was important to me and what I needed out of a job. I started finding the common threads between all the pieces of my background that felt all over the place (engineer, technical support, career, etc). I put together a framework and I emerged with direction, confidence, energy and a plan.“My purpose in life is to structure people's thinking so they can make decisions and move forward to explore, experience, and live life. I see waffling about career decisions (sometimes for 10+ years!) as an unacceptable barrier to people doing what they want to do and feeling fully alive. It's absolutely exhausting to ask yourself the same questions over and over again and there's immense freedom when you are finally DECIDED in a way that feels good to you". Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

Our guest today is Kathleen Ralls, educator, writer, coach, and athlete. She said “After spending 15 years as a secondary history teacher in the U.S. and Norway, I defended my dissertation just as the pandemic hit. Since then, I left my full-time teaching career, And today I share my knowledge with other females in business, education, service and sports, empowering them to both find their voices and become the leaders they were always meant to be”. A former standout athlete at Chelmsford High who went on to serve as a Lowell Sun sports intern, Kathleen Ralls hopes her first book “Take Her Word for It: Sports Cultivate World-Class Leaders” helps women become better leaders in the competitive sports world.“I am now starting a women’s empowerment consulting and public speaking business inspired by my research and experiences,” the 44-year-old said. “The book is a central piece to getting my message out that women’s leadership is vital, that it often spawns from having an athletic background, and that leadership can look many different ways.”Kathleen graduated in 1996 and was the school’s Female Athlete of the Year, as well as the Sun’s Field Hockey Player of the Year. She went on to earn a BA in Journalism at UMass and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education from American University and topped it off by earning a PhD in Leadership and Education.She worked a number of jobs, first starting out as a Sun Sports intern for three years from 1999-2002, before working at both UML and American University in their Sports Information Departments. From 2005-08 she was a high school social studies teacher in Washington, D.C., before moving back to Massachusetts to spend two years at UMass Lowell as an Adjunct Professor/Teaching Assistant. For the past two years, she has been a reading tutor, while she has also been a multi-sport coach since 1999, ranging from youth to the high school levels.Kathleen found time in 2019 to travel to Ethiopia for three months, which kick-started the idea for the book.“The book is an off shoot of my dissertation where I traveled to Ethiopia to work with members of the Girls Gotta Run Foundation,” she explained. “The girls completed surveys and I got to do a lot of observational research at their schools, at training, and in their communities about whether they perceive greater voice empowerment because of their participation in sport and they do. This question is based on my own experiences and my observations as a high school teacher and coach.“While my dissertation focused on teenage girls, my book focuses on eleven women based in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. They reflected on how their experiences in sports have helped them navigate their professional lives. Basically, I wanted to see if I was the only one out there and thankfully, I’m not.”"My book looks to inspire other athletic women to use their unique voices to be leaders. The women spoke of direct lines between success in sport and succeSupport the showAre you looking for more inspiration? Why not take our ten minutes career test? Just click here to start the test.

Our guest today is Andrew Barnes, Founder of 4 Day Week Global. “A hundred years ago, we moved from working six-day weeks to five, and we’re overdue for an update. The 4-day work week is a reduction in the work week from a standard 40 hours to 32 hours for the same pay and benefits. This reduction has been proven to work for employees and employers. COVID-19 made it clear we can find a better balance between work and life. Let’s make the move together.”Innovator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Andrew Barnes has made a career of market-changing innovation and industry digitisation. Most recently, in New Zealand, Andrew triggered a revolution of the entire fiduciary and legal services industries, and the transformation he has led as the founder of Perpetual Guardian has positive implications both locally and globally.The result has seen him establish 4 Day Week Global and the 4 Day Week Global Foundation with his partner, Charlotte Lockhart. Their vision for this is to provide a community environment for companies, researchers/academics, and interested parties to be able to connect and advance this idea as part of the future of work. Through this work, he is on the advisory boards of both the US and Ireland 4 Day Week campaigns and the board of the newly created Wellbeing Research Centre at Oxford University."The conversation about the 4 Day work week is all over the world. We encourage businesses, employees, researchers, and government to all play their part in creating a new way of working that will improve business productivity, worker health outcomes, stronger families and communities, challenge the gender equality issue, and work towards a more sustainable work environment ".In 2019 he wrote The 4 Day Week book, as a how-to guide for companies trying to reduce work hours and increase productivity. Through this work, he is on the advisory board of the Wellbeing Research Centre at Oxford University.Today Andrew is going to talk about his career and how the 4 days working week can make the world a better place. Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

Today the UK Cabinet Office has launched the Civil Service Apprenticeship Strategy with the aim to emphasize quality training and set targets that will help build a more diverse pipeline of recruits into government by 2025. What does this mean? That the UK government is becoming one of the leading voices of “the career changers movement”, opening the door of a new career to people whose careers have been affected by the pandemic. Heather Hillier, our special guest, is one of those people and she is here today to share her career change story. Heather is a former airline pilot who lost her job during the pandemic and embarked on a new career in government via an apprenticeship. Heather joined the Maritime & Coastguard Agency in July 2020 during lockdown.  Prior to this, she was an Airline Captain with Flybe, until the company went into administration in March 2020. Aviation has been her career path for almost 26 years.  Her husband was also a Captain with Flybe so they found themselves faced with the overnight loss of their entire household income on 5th March 2020.She set out to find a job to pay the bills, but as Covid started to take hold she realised that the impact on the aviation industry was likely to be far-reaching. This is when she started thinking about a new career. She saw the advert for a Talent and Development Trainer with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which she found appealing as it was about helping people achieve their potential and making a difference in a job that mattered.Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

How to find your public speaking why  and why this is so important2. 3 practical tips: The random word (spoiler alert. we are talking about love!), silence drills and the endless gaze. 3.

Growing up it was very clear that being employed was the only way to have a career. It took me years of ignoring my inner voice to actually come to the realization that I could not possibly remain in a corporate career for the next 30 years and then just retire one day. Once I made the leap, the real work began as I had jumped into the unknown and, with hindsight, picked one of the most difficult times to start out in a new business venture”.Today Peter he is going to share his wisdom and career change story with us!To discover more about his work visit here.Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?

In his words " I've spent the majority of my life living through experiences that have broken me down along the way; a multi-year battle with disordered eating and negative self-image, failures to approach the world in the best ways, and an upending of who I was from a collapsed marriage. Once the lessons and wisdom from these experiences were integrated into my conscious worldview, they became mechanisms for helping others achieve the balance, peace, and clarity of direction that I discovered for myself". If you have ever asked yourself "Who could I become?" listen to this episode to find some inspirational answers. Some of the key learnings from Eric? " I don't think there is never a point where you can find yourself but you can find your path." "The biggest inspirations tend to come out of the darkest period of our life".

Losing her main cheerleader and the person that was inspiring her to be an actress made it clear that acting was not for her anymore.  One night, while watching the UK dating programme "First dates" she started to think if "matchmaking" could have been an actual profession and realised that it would have felt amazing to help people find love. Abi is one of the few UK based dating coaches who are certified in science-based coaching with the Matchmaking Institute NYC.

In this episode Parmjit Basra is guest of The Career Changers and is sharing his inspirational career change story, going from a failed business to the discovery of Raja Yoga Meditation and a new career.When he first attended a Raja Yoga meditation class 15 years ago, it was because his wife kept insisting it would do him some good.  He had been in business with his father, and a downturn in the economy meant they had to fold. Seven years on, the aftermath of settling financial commitments had ground him down to a point where he was feeling very stressed. His reluctance was based on the assumption: “How can meditation fix real problems?” but he instantly felt the benefit.  The meditation enabled him to think more clearly, and what he learned from the teachings reminded him that he had choices, and he had to take responsibility for those choices.Today Parmjit Basra is a student and teacher of Raja Yoga Meditation. He has many years of experience of facilitating courses, talks and seminars on self-development to a variety of audiences.Support the showAre you looking for more inspiration?
