In the final part of our discussion with John Tarnoff we learn how to identify our own “superpower” in terms of our careers. Jamie shares his journey to realise his “superpower” and we end by understanding that we are not human “beings” but rather human “becomings”! John-Tarnoff-Part-3Download

We continue our discussion with John Tarnoff and guest host, Jamie Wadley, this week looking at how to plan a career transition later in your working life. There is also talk about whether this transition/change needs to be dramatic, in the sense of a completely new path, or whether it can be a refinement of one part of the career you have had to this point. John-Tarnoff-Part-2Download

This week we begin a 3 part discussion with John Tarnoff about career transitioning. Kim is joined by former guest, Jamie Wadley, as a “case study”, given that he has transitioned careers regularly and thrives with each new focus. John Tarnoff is an executive and career transition coach, speaker, and author who helps mid-career professionals land better jobs and build more meaningful and sustainable careers. John is a TEDx speaker and the author of the best-selling Boomer...

In the final part of our discussion, Dr Terry Lyles and Steven Bowen look at ways to use their book rather than have it on the shelf as well as sharing stories to show the meaning of being “invaluable”. Dr-Terry-Lyles-and-Steven-Bowen-Part-3Download

This week we begin to explore “Invaluable” and what that means for you. Drawing from a wealth of experience across many varied industries, we hear how the concepts in the book can be implemented in our own work lives as well as recognising what we can achieve by knowing our self worth.

As we continue to wait for approval to air the original recordings of our discussion with a recent guest, Fulyana and Kim have both provided some reflection on the conversation. This time it centres on how physical safety concerns may manifest in other behaviours that you need to manage as well as communication generally within a team. There are also some insights to why looking for blame is not the best way to manage a cohesive team and why this particular guest would never consider...

For the first time since we began weekly podcasts in 2015, broadcasting a guest’s interview has been delayed whilst the employing organisation reviews the content for approval. We respect their right to do this and will wait for their decision. In the meantime, we felt that the content of the discussion was worthy of sharing with our listeners in a generic way. In this first part, Kim covers the early influences on our guest that led to a focus of multi-lingual service provision and...

This week we meet Marianna Georgiadis, Director of an Early Childhood Education Centre. She daily faces the challenges of managing a multi-lingual, multi-cultural team of specialised educators in an environment that can be both physically challenging and professionally rewarding. In the first of a three part discussion we hear about her own early learning experiences and how that shaped her interest and passion (longer term) for a career that has spanned 30+ years….so far!

In the concluding part to our discussion with Rico Nasol, we explore how to prepare a “leadership plan” for yourself and the value of internal peer support networks in organisations. Rico also outlines his 90 program and the most important questions you can ask yourself to move towards your career goals. Rico-Nasol-Part-3Download

In the second part of our discussion, Rico outlines his 3Cs approach to leadership as well as sharing some insight to leading a team of creatives in this enhanced technology age. For more information on Rico and his program click here Rico-Nasol-Part-2Download

This week we begin a 3 part discussion with Rico Nasol about leadership. Rico is a seasoned leader with over 20 years of global experience, rising from humble beginnings to make a profound impact at Zappos and Netflix to running his own service of 1-to-1 transformative leadership coaching as well as a 90 day programme.

In the final part of our discussion with Aneace Haddad, Kim and guest host Jamie Wadley discover what teams might look like in the coming years and the emergence of leaders with humility.

In our continuing discussion with Aneace Haddad, this week we hear about physiological changes to our brains that happen as we age and how we can harness those changes to be transformational leaders.

This week Kim is joined by Jamie Wadley (in Fulyana’s absence) to talk with Aneace Haddad. Aneace is an executive coach and author of “The Eagle That Drank Hummingbird Nectar.” He has worked with leaders from major companies like Citibank, Deloitte, HSBC, McKinsey, MasterCard, and Visa, helping them with transformational leadership, mindful leadership, and creating high-performance cultures. We begin our 3 part discussion by examining today’s approach to transformational...

This week we have a case study, suggested by a listener, looking at how to address a perceived imbalance in the value of your input for an unpaid (but desirable) role where there is a business element to the situation. If you have also experienced this, let us know and we will include your thoughts for our listeners to consider.

We all have to make BIG decisions in our worklife and careers. How do you decide whether to accept a redundancy offer or not? his week Kim and Fulyana look at some of the areas to consider apart from the financial aspect. As always, should you have particular concerns or some ideas for others to consider, please let us know via email.

We travel back to starting a career this week as Kim and Fulyana look at ways you can find first hand experience in a career path that interests you. Although the podcast talks about starting a career from the basis of high school or early university, it is equally relevant to those contemplating a career change. After all, the statistics indicate the majority of people make a complete change of careers at least three times in their lives.

This week we look at what to do when salaries do not match market rates. As always, Kim and Fulyana use their professional experience to consider this topic from both sides of the issue – the employer and the employee. Have you been caught with a great employee that isn’t being paid current market rates? How would you manage if that person had to be replaced?

This week the tables are turned as Fulyana interviews Kim about withdrawing from a project she has worked on for almost 10 years. What happens when you have a surprisingly large amount of time and the opportunity to actually follow through on one of your long term ideas? Do you have projects “in the wings” that you yearn to find time to implement?

In the early years of our careers, inhouse training and development was highly regarded as part of a path to more senior positions. These days there seems to be some resistance to providing these opportunities mostly based on the economic viability of training someone only to have them leave the organisation. This week Kim and Fulyana look at innovations in this area that apply to any size organisation as well as the relative investment being made for the return to bot the individual...

Fulyana is back! So that means we are in full “talk” mode, this week about what you are communicating by your behaviour patterns in the workplace. Have you reflected lately on what your behaviour pattern around meetings and work community activities might mean to others? Are you sending the message you want to be sending?

In our conclusion to this three part discussion with Karan, Kim and Fulyana learn about the qualities we should be identifying in future leaders as well as the results of a survey of thousands of leaders across varied industries looking at common leadership “qualities”. Can you identify the same leadership qualities in your organisation?

As we continue our discussion with Karan Ferrell-Rhodes, this week we explore ways to create a leadership brand as well as how workplaces will change their approach to resourcing work areas and projects.
