Episode 91: Demystifying the workplace with Leila Thomas
Listen now
Description
"Young people need to see positive pathways." Our dream mentor is the intro subject this week as we reveal more about ourselves than those chosen. Then it’s into a chat with Leila Thomas on the organisation she founded and leads to provide young people with the aspirations, opportunity and skills to achieve their career goals. James imagines dragging the team up on stage to pick up an award, meanwhile Kenneth picks a tattoo and our guest dreams of an army of volunteers to support her. There’s positive pathways, underrepresentation in the corporate sector and overrepresentation on TV. We talk about a solution-focused approach, taking action and the skills of reverse mentoring. There’s the enjoyment of seeing people connect over a shared passion, demystifying the workplace and networking. Kenneth’s golfing prowess is questioned, the show gets a glowing endorsement and we prepare to parent teenagers. --- You can find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

It goes without saying really but the episodes contains our opinions - essentially things we overheard in meetings, stole from presentations and read in magazines. Thanks for listening.
