  • Backing yourself isn’t arrogance—it's clarity about your value. A concept that becomes critical as you advance in your career. Particularly when self-leadership and confidence in your abilities are expected, but you may not have that same level of support you had earlier in your career.

    In this episode, I'm exploring the powerful idea of backing yourself in your career. Inspired by a quote from Maya Angelou, I can't underestimate the importance of self-advocacy, especially in times of uncertainty and change.

    Research shows that women who take ownership of their careers are more likely to be seen as leaders and promoted.

    So, start small, but take control of your career today!

  • How to think strategically about a career transition. That's what I want to talk about today. Why? Because career transitions are tough. If you've experienced one, you know how hard it can be to simply reimagine a new role that's dramatically different from the one that you have. My guest today is John Tarnoff, a mid career transition expert.

    John is the author of a bestselling book, Boomer Reinvention. He has a huge following on LinkedIn and you can also watch his very engaging and funny TEDx Talk.

    In our conversation today, we discuss networking. I know it's that thing that make your eyes glaze over, but we talk about it in a very purposeful way. We also talk about finding your superpower and shedding the baggage from past bad work experiences. And we explore his somewhat controversial take on forgetting your passion and finding your usefulness.

    It's a really nourishing and fun discussion and it's full of great tips.

  • I always find it fascinating listening to the back story of someone's successful career journey. Have you ever wondered how successful people navigate the tough career decisions, how they orchestrate career transitions that seem insurmountable to others? Or how they emerge as respected leaders, despite very challenging business landscapes.

From her senior roles at Foxtel to leading the Department of Customer Service, Emma has achieved a career that most people would say would be close to impossible.

  • How often do you catch yourself feeling a bit guilty about indulging in that extra serving or not shedding those last stubborn kilos you've been eyeing? Maybe it was the temptation of the leftover muffin from the team morning tea that threw you off your game. Well, we've all been there, haven't we?

    That desire to be at our peak health, performing at our best and looking and feeling good. I think it's universal. But let's face it, the path to good intentions and great practices is often paved with many challenges. And today I'm thrilled to bring someone onto the podcast who gets all of this. It is my friend and nutrition consultant, educator, author, and founder of The Right Balance, Kath Alleaume.
