This week, we hear from the wonderful Selini, a former primary school teacher who has made an inspiring transition to become a Community Education Coordinator for a large international charity. Selini shares her journey out of the classroom and into a role that allows her to continue making a real difference in the world on a much wider scale.

As an Academy member, Selini embraced the support and resources available to explore new possibilities after feeling the need for a change from teaching. Now, she thrives in a dynamic, community-focused position where no two days are the same. She highlights the transferable skills from teaching that have been invaluable in her new career and expresses her joy in a role that truly aligns with her values.

In this episode, we also chat about:

• Identifying your transferable skills
• Exploring different career possibilities
• Community facing roles
• Aligning work to your personal values
• The value of LinkedIn for career change
• Embracing new adventures 
• Building confidence in a new career
