In this episode, my guests discuss what career means at their current stage in life. What do they
value? What are they looking for in their working lives and how has this shifted and
developed as they have matured? What career themes have resonated throughout their
lives? Do changes in society, building a family or the climate emergency impact their career
choices? Do we need to re-think traditional stereotypes of life and career? How do we
continue to explore and experiment with work as we mature?
Here’s more about my guests who, of course, sit at different stages of their career story:
