Five For Two Careers episodes

  • EP 183. As an Introvert Peacocking might be your best friend

    Visibility can be hard as an Introvert especially when a limited social battery makes you just want to put your head down, do your work and get on with it.

    But we all know in Corporate if no one sees you or the things you do promotions, opportunities and more money become harder to get.

    So this week I'm sharing how peacocking has helped me still get noticed as an Introvert

    • Networking without making the first move
    • Getting noticed for your Work
    • Leaving an impression without being loud
    • Becoming memorable without being a whole new person

  • EP 182. Your Qualification isn't getting you Hired in 2026

    With the way AI and skills shortages have changed hiring, leaning solely on your qualifications won't get you the money or jobs you want.

    This week I'm talking about...

    • Why Qualifications don't open doors the way they used to
    • Influence, Impact & Likeability
    • What is getting people big pay rises this year
    • Talking about what Matters
    • The Heavy lifting your Qualification can't do for your Career

  • EP 181. You Keep Getting Interviews but They Keep Hiring Someone Else

    Booking lots of interviews VS Getting lots of offers!

    One is strong on paper the other is strong  in person

    In this episode I talk about the difference in the people who do one and not the other and how to be someone who can do both...

    • Why your experience is NOT the issue
    • The difference between sharing your experience and showing its value
    • How to get more Offers
    • What the people getting offers are best at
    • Using what you already have instead of becoming a Job description clone


    Interview conversion is my thing so if you're struggling to get offers at any level definitely check out this episode

  • EP 180. AI is a Tool Stop letting it Replace you

    My friend Charmaine Green-Forde said something that stuck with me people aren't debating with AI or interrogating it. They're just accepting whatever it says & that got me thinking, WHY? AI is built by human, since when did it become the be all & end all?

    This episodes short but it needed saying. You wouldn't take everything your boss or even your friend says as gospel, why is AI getting a free pass?

    Lets talk...

    • AI isn't always right 
    • Why the way you're using AI is working against you in your career 
    • Your CV/Resume is getting rejected because you did this
    • Assistant VS Expert

  • EP 179. Were you watching the Grind or just the Win?

    Every season of life isn't perfect so its expected that it will affect your career goals .

    I'm not one to join the misery loves company train but I do think we have to see the good with the bad. The reality of how messy life can get before a win. The grind we don't see front and centre on social media but that was necessary for us to be able to live our highlight reel⁣.

    So this episode is dedicated to everyone in a hard season, a new season or a waiting season and for some of us its all 3 of those seasons wrapped up in one.⁣

    Life gets hard and so does career. Some seasons we slow down others move faster than lightening.⁣

    If you want the big pay rise, promotion or whatever's next for you the question to ask yourself is whether you're willing to be in the building season that nobody claps for.⁣

    This week I'm sharing...⁣

    • My current season (its hard)⁣
    • Finding the silver lining ⁣
    • The hard work that gets you to a softer life⁣
    • The grind no one sees on social media ⁣
    • The melt downs, almost quitting, questioning everything that happens right before success (and is totally normal)⁣
    • BTS of Career wins - me, my clients and my listeners

  • EP 178. How she beat the broken 2026 Job Market in 6 weeks

    This is not the same old success story you've heard before. It's the truth about what it really takes to get GOOD job offers in this current, crazy job market.

    I'm joined by Jaz Marfo, who's sharing how she landed her new non-technical role in the tech industry & navigated the hardships to seal the deal in 6 weeks (including some window shopping before hand).

    We're not focused on the win. We focus on the good, the bad, the ugly & the reality of what the 2026 job market has become and how you beat it.

    In this episode:

    • What Jaz did & didn't do to get her job offer
    • Outdated advice you should let go of
    • Why Quality is still better than Quantity even in a crap market
    • How to still use rejections even without feedback
    • Why you shouldn't take any of your search personally
    • LinkedIn Easy Apply... worth it or not?
    • Does networking actually increase your chances?
    • Advice for anyone who's been looking for 6+ months with zero success

    No sugar coating just what's actually working right now.

  • EP 177. Why I stopped asking for Pay rises

    Why did I stop asking for pay rises?

    Because I realised there are things that can be worth far more than an extra £5k a year.

    In this episode, I'm talking about why salary isn't the only thing you should be negotiating and how thinking beyond your payslip can dramatically improve your quality of life and long term wealth.

    I share:

    • Why and how I asked for shares.

    • How to negotiate benefits that can work out more than a pay rise.

    • Negotiating what you specifically want for the life you're building 

    • The hidden perks most people are scared to ask for.

    • How to negotiate based on the value you create, not just your salary.

    If your current strategy for earning more money is asking for a pay rise... this episode might change your mind.

  • EP 176. How to Network when you hate it

    If you're an introvert like me, hate small talk or just feel awkward speaking to people you don't know, this episode is for you.

    Networking doesn't have to mean working the room, collecting business cards (QR codes these days😂 ) or pretending to be someone you're not. It's just about speaking to people and building relationships that can open doors.

    In this episode, I'm sharing practical tips for people who hate networking so you can get in and get out fast (lol) but still make an impact.

    I talk about

    • Why networking is one of the biggest career accelerators these days.
    • How to create opportunities even in short periods of time.
    • Getting people to approach you and the best conversation starters when you hate small talk
    • Who to talk to so you don't have to spend all day at events
    • How it creates opportunities today and years down the line
    • Why having your name mentioned in the right rooms can upgrade both your career and your bank balance.

    And if you don't like money or better career opportunities... feel free to skip this one.

  • EP 175. How to Build a Side Hustle That Can Replace Your 9-5

    Everyone loves the idea of leaving their 9 to 5. Fewer people talk about what its actually like to build a business alongside it.

    I recently got asked by one of my Instagram followers if I could give tips on how to build a side hustle so you can leave your job.

    In this episode I talk side hustles, portfolio careers and why relying on a single income stream might be risky these days.  

    I'm sharing practical tips for starting a side hustle while working fulltime, how I've done it twice and was able to cut my corporate days all the way down.

    • Making the most of your limited time 
    • How to start and grow your side hustle
    • Activities that actually generate income. 
    • Progress over Perfection - The mistakes that keep people stuck
    • The part you need to get past if you want to create more freedom, flexibility and income.  
    • Portfolio careers 

    If you've been saying "I'll start one day", this episode is your reminder that one day isn't a day of the week its the day you choose!

  • EP 174. How I got into Human Resources without qualifications or experience

    Sometimes the people getting opportunities aren’t the most qualified on paper they’re the people who know how to sell what they already have.  

    You might think you need a HR degree, CIPD qualification or years of experience before anyone will give you a chance in Human Resources.

    That wasn’t my story. Instead I did it with zero experience or qualifications and 17 years later I'm still here.

    If you’re trying to move into HR, corporate or a completely different industry and feel stuck because you don’t have the right background, this episode is for you.

    I break down exactly how I went from teaching into HR without traditional experience and what I focused on to make employers see me differently...

    • Gateway Jobs that can help you break into HR
    • What research helped me the most
    • Why transferable skills matter and how to actually connect them
    • How I positioned my teaching experience for corporate roles
    • Why confidence matters just as much as qualifications
    • How to fail fast (the interview that made me cry but ultimately got me a job)
    • The reality of pivoting careers in a competitive job market

    You can also connect with me on LinkedIn and Instagram for more career strategy, salary growth and corporate transition content.
