Get ready for another season of great guests with stories from their careers that could stimulate your move up the career ladder where you are now, or want to be in the future

To whet your appetite this episode touches on a few stories from Season 1 in 2025. What we learned during the 21 episodes is that in order to build a great career experience, whether it is advancing and growing in the organisation where you are currently employed, seeking to move to another job in the same sector or making a complete change to your career direction there are some common traits that can help anyone seeking purpose in their work. They are: lean into self-belief and grit; build your network early; embrace side hustles and lifelong learning; prioritise work-life integration and embrace change and have key mindsets such as self belief, curiosity, and connection.

Season 2 will bring more great episodes with interesting stories from super guests that highlight the opportunities to make the most of your career and have a fulfilling life.

We start Season 2 with a quick look back at the variety of guests who told Jim & Ellen in Season 1 about their experience of working in many different roles. These were in retail, journalism, cyber security, charities, digital, financial services, entertainment, hospitality, education, food,corporate coaching, fitness, advertising, broadcasting and even the catholic priesthood.

In this season we have another great lineup of guests waiting for you. Their stories will not only entertain you but could give you that impetus in your career that you might need.

It will also be helpful to those in people management and leadership roles seeking to encourage talent in their organisation.
