The Great Resignation and #ThisLittleGirlIsMe

Have you ever wondered why people change careers? Did you have a dream career when you were young? If you did, what happened to that dream?I always ask my podcast guests what their early career aspirations were when they were a little boy or girl?  We’ve had some really interesting answers and for a few of my guests, they actually realised those childhood career dreams.Interestingly, according to a recent Flex Jobs Survey, only 10% of adults work in their childhood dream career.How have your dreams and career aspirations changed over the years and where are you now?Are you satisfied?Do you wake up each morning with a spring in your step, looking forward to all you will accomplish professionally?Are you eager to work with your team, in person or remotely?Do you admire and/or respect your manager?Does your physical work environment make you feel energised and inspired?Over the past 20 years as a career coach, almost all the clients I’ve worked with have come to me because they have said, ‘No’ to most of those questions above.And most of them have come to me not because they decided to do something about that situation of their own volition, but because they went through redundancy or had lost their job and had to get professional support.When I ask how they felt about the redundancy, many have said they’d been unhappy for years however didn’t do anything about it as they were afraid to make a change. Or they didn’t know where to go to get support.Don’t you think life is too short to be unhappy? Or to feel unfulfilled?

Three Reasons Why People Change Careers

Jeff Young is #TheLinkedInGuru.  For the past 13 years Jeff has been helping the global community to understand how to use LinkedIn as a powerful networking tool – by developing genuine relationships.  I met Jeff on LinkedIn (of course!) as I was drawn to his warm and engaging style of posts.  When I discovered what a fascinating life he&apos;s led having made some amazing career changes and career reinventions, I knew I had to interview him for Your Career Podcast.Before I share this wonderful interview with Jeff, if you are finding things a challenge in your own career due to organisational restructure, Covid restrictions, or you find you just can’t get that promotion to move to the next level in your chosen role, I have a wealth of support for you in The Careers Academy.  The Careers Academy is for you whether you are looking for a job or seeking career growth and progression.I’m currently adding even more valuable support programs, guides and videos for you, and we will be throwing open the doors to membership again very shortly!  Go to www.thecareersacademy.online now to get on the waitlist to be notified as soon as all my new support resources are available on demand.  If you are listening to this podcast after doors have opened, check out all you will get in my CAREER TRANSITION PROGRAM, my CAREER GROWTH PROGRAM or my RULE THE WORLD PROGRAM. The RULE THE WORLD program provides LIFETIME access to all my online resources, templates and career assessments plus one-on-one coaching with me and my monthly group coaching calls. Now let’s introduce my very special guest, Jeff Young!Prior to becoming The LinkedIn Guru, Jeff’s career took an interesting journey from project management to IT consulting and then human resources.  He discovered that his unique technical and people skills were highly valued as the Director and Account Manager with Intellinex, an eLearning venture of Ernst & Young, where he lead and mentored thousands of professionals across numerous organisations.  Upon retirement, Jeff knew that he was not ready for ‘retirement’ as most people know it. He began a new chapter of his life providing valuable volunteering work as teacher on all things LinkedIn for relationship development.  He has been called #TheLinkedInGuru and he know regularly trains professionals on how to harness LinkedIn to network effectively.Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Jeff travelled the world in his corporate career, working 70-80 hours day.  Now, in his chosen field as a teacher of LinkedIn, he has created the ideal ‘second career’ with the wonderful balance of ‘work’ (he doesn’t think of it as work as he has found his ‘why’), relationship development, friends and family. Jeff is part of Shelly Elsliger’s #decidetobekind club (of which I am also a member) and together they encourage all to share kindness and support across the LinkedIn platform.Listen to this fascinating story from a warm and wonderful gentleman who loves to connect over a coffee, a conversation or chocolate!

Mental health has been of huge concern during Covid-19 due to the challenges this has posed globally since the virus began to spread from China at the end of 2019. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Wellbeing, statistics have shown that in April 2021:Almost 82,000 calls were made to Lifeline, an 18.4% increase from the same period in 2019. Kids Helpline received almost 26,000 answerable contact attempts, a 10.5% increase from 2019. Over 22,000 contacts were made to Beyond Blue, a 30.7% increase from that period in 2019.In this episode of Your Career Podcast, I interview Anne Riches who, after a lifetime of dealing with mental ill health while forging her successful career, is hugely passionate about mental health at work. In this episode of Your Career Podcast, I interview Anne Riches who, after a lifetime of dealing with mental ill health while forging her successful career, is hugely passionate about mental health at work. Anne  is deeply aware of the powerful impact that talking openly about mental health has for those coping with these issues and for anyone who supports someone with a mental health challenge. A lawyer by background, Anne is an award-winning international speaker and educator on change leadership and workplace mental health. Anne says that the curious thing now is that she used to guide organisations in change like a mergers or restructure. Now the major organisational change focus is: how can we be an open, safe and supportive mentally healthy workplace? While she thrives on her work, Anne says that the best part of her life is scuba diving and hiking in remote places. Great for the body and better still for the mind! Anne’s presentations are described as: relatable, honest, purposeful, kind and funny.
