    Ex Special Forces Sniper To Men's Health Advocate: Interview with Joe Bates

    In this episode we’re joined by ex-special forces operative Joe Bates who’s also the founder of coaching brand Halen. We talk about Joe’s journey which took him from the armed forces, to trading in The City, to founding Halen.
    In this refreshingly honest conversation we cover topics as diverse as why men need “guy time”, the stress epidemic, the power of breath work and cold water immersion along with the pros and cons of the digital world in the wellbeing space.
    Joe is truly inspirational, as is the work Halen is doing and we hope you enjoy this podcast as much we enjoyed recording it!

    Midlife Career Change

    Midlife Career Change

    There can be a lot of change to our career at midlife. It might be that we have change imposed on us through redundancy, or perhaps we want to shift direction. Maybe we want a slower pace of life, but don’t know how or what that looks like, so we continue to feel overwhelmed and compromise.
    In this episode I James, go solo, as I talk to executive search consultant Sally Dunwoody about how to manage your career to future proof for this situation, practical steps you can take if you find yourself in this situation already, and we explore alternative avenues such as non-executive roles.
    I found this a fascinating conversation and I hope you do too.
    You can reach out to Sally at sdunwoody@warrenpartners.co.uk.
