Ep 86 - Taking Control of Your Career

Whether you're happy in your role or thinking of moving on, it's a good idea to be thinking about what your next step will be and be working towards that.

Gone are the days when we could rely on our line manager to recognise our potential and plan for our career development. In fact, I think that was always a bit of a myth! It’s up to you to prioritise your career and development.

Your next step doesn’t have to be upwards - it could be a sideways move, a new sector or a new work-life balance so you can spend more time with the kids or starting your side hustle.

In this episode, I’m sharing with you why investing in your own career development is one of the best investments you'll ever make and giving you 5 practical actions you can take to prioritise yours.
