Many of us these days have experienced being retrenched or had our positions in organisations declared redundant through restructuring or takeovers. Kim and Fulyana are joined by Nick Plummer from Directioneering to talk about how we make successful career transitions, when is the right time (if it is not forced on you) and what outplacement services actually do.

What drives us to achieve our goals? What inspires us? Should we, as managers, be responsible for inspiring others? Listen to Fulyana and Kim discuss their views and experiences related to these questions.

Does empowerment come from within or does it come through recognition of your expertise in the workplace?

Once again Kim and Fulyana present their views and experience, sometimes differing, to provide you with another viewpoint of this topic in the executive world.

Do you make time for reflection about how you are managing your activities?  This week, Kim shares some of her own reflection time during a visit to Bunbury, Western Australia for the Australian Floral Art Championships.

In Part 2 of our discussion with John Eddy, we hear more on the use of mentoring throughout a business career. Some interesting examples of how mentoring works in both large and small organisations with useful information on how to measure the success of mentoring and its effect on the way an organisation is perceived as an employer.

We thank John for generously sharing his knowledge, experience and time to contribute to these podcasts.
