  • Episode 42 - Brilliant career advice from women who have "been there and learned this"
    Apr 17 2024

    Lately, I've been doing a bit more mentoring, and this has involved working with women who tend to be earlier on in their career journeys. As ever, I started a session recently by asking if my mentee had anything specific in mind for our meeting, which is what I'd always do to begin. To which the response was, "I'd like to hear more about your career journey and if you would do anything differently."

    As questions go, that was certainly one to get me thinking.


    I'm not going to lie, I needed to take a moment because that felt big. So in episode 42 of Career Espresso I'm sharing some career learnings inspired by my own career journey, and the conversations I have with the amazing women I work with.


    Listen to the episode now, where I share 10 valuable and hopefully inspiring learnings for you to reflect on. As always, I end the episode with a coaching question and this week is all about getting unstuck.

  • Episode 41 - 7 effective ways to beat procrastination and get more done
    Apr 10 2024

    In this weeks Career Espresso I'm talking about something we can all be guilty of at times, and that's procrastination.


    We love to procrastinate, putting off those big tasks until we've crossed something much less pressing, but somehow satisfying off our to-do list. We all procrastinate with 88% of us admitting to doing it for at least an hour a day, but why? And how can you stop procrastinating to be more productive?


    Listen to this episode where I delve deeper into why we procrastinate, common types of procrastinators and also 7 tips for you to implement that will help you stop procrastinating.


    As always, I end the episode with a coaching question and this week is all about stopping you before you hit that procrastination button.
