It seemed timely to take a moment to reflect on Season 1 of The Comms Careers Podcast and the valuable lessons we learned from our guests last year.

And because it's the start of 2024, we put our predictive hats on, sharing our views on the key job and career elements we think will be relevant in the year ahead.

To give you a flavour we chat about:

- the benefits of stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing the unknown

- embracing neurodiversity in the workplace

- the value of understanding younger generation's perspectives

- embracing your own sphere of influence and the power of positive energy

- taking ownership for your own well-being and how to practically do that

- how to navigate the job market

- finding happiness in your current role (even if it's not your dream job).

And a big thank you to all our listeners across the globe for their support. If there's an inspiring Comms person you know with a remarkable career story to share, then let us know. You can email Jo at [email protected]
