Do you want to conquer your fear of failure and embrace new challenges in the workplace? 

In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast, I had an inspiring conversation with Marta Smullen, a finance professional and host of the "Invisible TO Visible" podcast. Marta shares her journey of personal and professional growth as an Irish resident originally from Poland, offering a refreshing perspective on overcoming embarrassment, imposter syndrome, and bias in the workplace. She emphasises the importance of authenticity, self-acceptance, and finding one's "why" in the pursuit of career success, urging listeners to step outside their comfort zones and embrace their true selves.

Marta's insights and experiences will challenge you to reframe your mindset and approach to career growth, ultimately leading to a happier and more fulfilling work life. This episode will help you gain valuable perspectives on navigating challenges, overcoming biases, and unlocking your full potential in the workplace.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

  • Embracing authenticity and self-acceptance in professional development.
  • The importance of having a clear "why" in pursuing education and career success.
  • Overcoming imposter syndrome and fear of failure by understanding personal motivators.
  • Fostering workplace cultures where individual differences are celebrated and diversity thrives. 
  • Recognising the transformative power of embracing new challenges and opportunities at work.
