The Blue Light Leavers Podcast

Promo intro for episode with Ian Towell

Andi Clark is a hugely successful global coach to the 911/999 family and helps officers and their families who are struggling with or close to burn-out. She tells us about her own health challenges that ultimately helped her, her Police Officer husband and his colleagues and many others since.

Andi is invited to speak on stages to numerous organisations across North America and her coaching courses have helped many Emergency Service professionals and their families around the world, understand and recover from the physical and mental health risks associated with shift work and the hugely stressful work environment.

I'm really grateful to Andi for agreeing to be a member of the Blue Light Leavers Facebook group and for agreeing to be a guest on The Blue Light Leavers podcast.

In this interview Andi talks about what she calls 'the list'. She talks about how to mitigate against those signs and signals including 'tired and wired', brain fog and long term injuries and illnesses. She also gives us two simple steps that will immediately have a positive impact and gives much much more. 

Andi has very kindly offered access to her web class called 3 Simple Steps to Prevent Burnout which can be accessed via:

During this episode, Adrian Weatherill tells us about his 12 years in the Police Service as a Police Investigator. He talks very honestly about his challenges and the catalysts for change, his fears and what held him back from making the move earlier. 

Adrian made an incredibly brave (some of his closest family would say foolish) decision to leave the job with no job to go to, no qualifications and no idea what he wanted to do.

Now more than 2 years down the line, he has never been happier and more fulfilled teaching English as a second language in South America!

Adrian's story is both inspirational and motivational and I know you're going to love it.

If you’re a Police Officer, Law Enforcement or other emergency services professional considering leaving, then this is for you! Every episode, I’ll bring you interviews with subject matter experts like CV writers, recruiters, business coaches, senior executives and more plus interviews with cops who have successfully transitioned to new roles. We’ll discuss why and how they did it, their fears, how they overcame them and lessons learned and what life is like outside of the Service. I’m your host Andy Labrum, welcome to The Blue Light Leavers Podcast.

Charlotte talks about the importance of a quality CV, the key points and structure, the difference between roles and achievements and what you should focus on, the ‘applicant tracking system’ that sifts your CV, how to evidence Police related skills and experience, LinkedIn and much much more.

This is a fantastic interview that will answer so many of your questions relating to CV’s and applying for roles.
