June 05, 2019 Sharon Walpole on life skills and soft skills
My guest for episode 18 of Media Will Eat Itself is Sharon Walpole, of Careermap, a service that helps young people get their career kickstarted. We cover her background in publishing and how it's helped her now that she's a business development specialist. Of course, the bulk of our discussion is about young people, and navigating cyberbullying, confidence, recognising your self-worth, leveraging your soft skills, and mental health in general. It's a fascinating conversation and I really hope you enjoy it.
