    • EP 103. ADHD friendly jobs & Career Strategies w/Skye Waterson

      This episode felt like it was a long time coming and I hope it really helps my listeners, followers and clients who have ADHD. Many of you asked for this episode and here it is.

      I was joined by ADHD expert and Founder of the Unconventional Organisation Skye Waterson who she shared her own story of getting diagnosed as an adult as well as everything she's learnt since, while helping so many other neurodiverse people with their careers and lives.

      We spoke about

      - How Skye progressed to new heights in her career and business after her diagnosis & how you can too

      - Unconventional job search strategies

      - ADHD friendly jobs (and not so friendly ones)

      - Adapting your current role to work with your ADHD

      - ADHD Strengths

      - Different doesn't mean bad or hard, you might just not be focused on all your superpowers

    • EP 102. Metrics that make you Money

      PAY ME! That's what I want you to be saying by the end of this episode.

      Too often many of us feel like unless we are in the Sales team or support Sales we do not contribute to company profit and that thought keeps a lot of people underpaid or struggling to negotiate higher salaries.

      Today I share all the metrics that have nothing to do with being in direct sales but that MAKE your company MONEY aka Profits or that are a currency just as important.

      If you want to earn more or break the 6 figure mark for the first time listen up.....

      - How saving a company money is making them Money

      - What metrics affect a company profits including compliance & non revenue generating positions (PS everything generates some type of Currency)

      - How to communicate the value you contribute and get paid more for it

    • EP 101. Lets get you that Promotion

      If getting promoted in your job before the end of the year is on your bucket list then this episode is for you


      I share what might be happening in your career which is blocking you getting the promotions you are going for and why you might be getting passed up for other colleagues

      *You might not be showing the right leadership qualities

      *You might actually be too good to good at your current job (YEP its a thing! I've seen it repeatedly)

      *You may just be in the wrong place or not complementing the company culture

      But this episode will help you navigate them all. Plus I share how to utilise your qualities even if you're an introvert

    • EP 100. Whose timeline are you following?

      Whose timeline are you following for your life?

      This was an episode title one of my listeners mentioned after seeing my recent wedding pics and it resonated because it's how I live my life and how I help my clients achieve some of their biggest career & money goals!

      Because why would achieving a goal after 5 years instead of within 2 years feel any less sweet?

      The point is always to achieve the goal. So in this episode I talk about...

      What will hold you back from achieving your career and salary goals

      How timelines will actually slow you down, make you unhappy & cause you to settle

      Why happiness has no expiration date

      Why being too old, too young or too late is just a myth

      Your career and life requires you to stop worrying about timelines & how and instead focus on doing things that actually get you to what you want.

    • EP 98. What are you Negotiating with?

      I am sure we can all agree that we want to be paid more for the work we do? And we want to know when we can go for the promotions and pay rises. But what if the timeframe isn't what matters?

      In this episode I discuss what does actually matter and that's leverage! What do you have to offer in exchange for what you want, a company has to value the thing your offering for you to be able to negotiate more of what you want.

      1. What are your contributions?
      2. How have you impacted the key business areas & what are they?
      3. How do you position your ask?
      4. I am breaking down all of these in this short but thought provoking episode

        If you have questions drop them in the Q&A or drop me a message over on LinkedIn
