In episode 258 of YOUR CAREER Podcast I speak with Geoff Martin who is an inspirational executive HR Leader,  Executive and Career Transition Coach who can positively turn any downside, whether business, or personal, into blue sky and value. In this podcast interview we discuss how encephalitis; brain surgery  and Geoff’s near-death experience has strongly influenced how he now approaches his life and work.  Geoff’s overseas experience and love of all things Japanese (he is fluent in the language) has enabled him to create a career that truly is his Ikigai (his reason for being). Geoff’s experiences range from HR Director of an ASX listed human services company, and senior HR roles in the insurance and banking industries.  He has led national HR teams supporting client groups of over 2000 employees.  He’s worked with leaders including Board Chairmans, Board Remuneration & Selection Committees, CEOs and C-Suite executives. Geoff works with his clients to take a holistic approach in how each role aligns to important lifestyle, family, values, and wellbeing goals.  This is Geoff’s ‘Professional Purpose’ that has developed from his lived experience of surviving his near-death illness and his subsequent career transformation not only in productivity and quality, but importantly in happiness, wellbeing and whole-of-life.    Join Geoff’s Transforming Self Workshop on 16 & 17 March 2024 Use this coupon code:  IKIGAI  at check-out to get 20% off this valuable workshop!  Geoff's Website - Think Big Careers >>>>>>>>Stay on track to reach your career goals!
