May 10, 2023Episode 4 - Why there is no right time to start working on your career goals...
2023 has seen some resignations of two high-profile women leaders with both Jacinda Ardern and Nicola Sturgeon announcing that they intended to step down from their roles. But is there ever a 'right' time to make that big career decision or start working on your goals and development?

In this episode, I look at how -
You can always be ready for the next step in your career before you are about to take it
To embrace failure as an opportunity for growth
You can be 'stretched and not stressed' when it comes to your development
You can use the words pounce, trounce, and announce to help you stay on track with your career goals.
