Have you ever questioned your career path 🤔? In our latest podcast episode, leaders Carole Edmond, CEO & Founder of Glassmoon, and Simone Carter, Managing Director at N Family Club, discuss the importance of self-awareness and brutal honesty in navigating your professional journey.

Simone shares her inspiring journey from a working-class background and what seemed to be a predetermined path in the Royal Navy to finding her passion in childcare. From an early age, Simone convinced herself that academia wasn't her strong suit. But an unclassified physics grade couldn't deter her spirit, and a pivotal question about what she truly loved doing set her on a different trajectory 💫.

Carole and Simone emphasise aligning education with children's passions and unique needs over prestigious schools. They share candid insights on being brutally honest with oneself and truly listening to others, both in leadership and personal life. Simone’s philosophy on leadership is profound: it's not about striving for perfection or fearing mistakes, but about the desire to get things right and the willingness to learn and correcting the course as a team.

Simone shares a powerful reflection on her children as her toughest critics. Raising independent thinkers has taught her the value of patience and living authentically. 🌍

Tune in to hear how Simone has shaped countless lives by overcoming self-limiting beliefs and advocating for a nurturing early years culture. This episode showcases the power of self-belief, honest self-reflection, and unwavering dedication to one's purpose and passion.
