Felicity Halsted set out to tackle one of the UK’s most persistent challenges: youth unemployment. As the founder and CEO of GoodWork, she has built a charity dedicated to helping young people access meaningful employment, while navigating the complex realities of funding, leadership, and impact in the social sector.
In this episode, Felicity shares her journey of building GoodWork from the ground up and what it means to work in service of young people during turbulent economic times. She reflects on the early days of the organisation, the importance of focusing on real job outcomes, and the systemic barriers that continue to limit social mobility. Felicity also opens up about the role of neurodivergence in shaping her leadership style, the pressure of personal branding as a founder, and why maintaining an abundance mindset is essential for anyone working to create change in the impact sector.
Thank you Felicity for the thoughtful and personal insights.
