The Career Changers

Our guest today is Daria Aleksieieva, Growth Marketing Manager at Popup and Freedom Fighter for Ukraine.

I found out about Daria by reading one of her Linkedin posts that was matched for content relevancy with The Career Changers. 

The post was saying 

From marketer to bartender in 1 day

Hey, let me introduce myself

My name is Daria, I’m 31 years old and I live in Kyiv, Ukraine

In January I joined Popup as a marketer thanks to Matteo Grassi

But on February 24 I became a bartender in just 1 day

On the photo it’s me yesterday helping our country with bottles for cocktails

Starting from Wednesday Ukrainians’ favourite one is Molotov

That’s why switching my role to bartender seemed more logical.

For the same reason…

Many Ukrainian developers became our defenders

Sales managers became volunteers

Taxi drivers became humanitarian aid providers

Restaurant owners - chefs to cook for our army and people in need

Clothes brand owners - military nets makers

Many of us have been working with you or for your companies

Now, some of us have more important things to do

When this ends - we will all become street cleaners and builders for a while

Support us with handling what’s going on on our territory right now 

And then we will be back as even better versions of ourselves

No matter what job we had.

Our guest today is Jane Ferré, career coach, helping frustrated professionals who've outgrown their current role to secure the role of their dreams. 

Jane started her career coaching business after experiencing redundancy not once but twice in one year - once her choice, the other not. 

Before setting up her own coaching practice she had a 20+ year career in senior HR roles such as HR Business Partner, Head of Leadership Development, and Head of Talent at British Airways before joining LEON Restaurants as their very first Head of Training.  

For this reasons Jane understands exactly how much effort you need to put into each job application and how frustrating it can be when you get ghosted after an interview. 

She’s also been on the other side of the recruitment table, so knows exactly what recruiting managers are looking for.

Today Jane is going to talk about her career change, how to land your dream job, how to reset your career after a redundancy and how to look at yourself through the eyes of a potential employer

Our guest today is Alfie G. Whattam, Business Leader (at a $1 billion company), Best-Selling Author of ‘Trust in Alfa’, and a Keynote Speaker. 

From his own words “I started my career just a few short years ago with absolutely nothing. No fancy degree. No connections. No money.

But at a very young age, I've very quickly become a successful business leader, best-selling author, and keynote speaker.

In the past few years alone, I've started my own business, built a global online following, travelled the world, purchased my dream London property, got married, and so much more.

So... how was I able to make this rapid transformation?

Everything changed when I stopped making excuses, stopped procrastinating, and I started to invest in myself.

Today Alfie is here with us to talk about his career change,  the best-selling book Trust in Alfa, and more.

Our guest today is Brenden Kumarasamy, founder of MasterTalk, a YouTube channel he started to help the world master the art of public speaking.
Today Brendan is running a very successful business and youtube channel teaching thousands of people the secrets of public speaking. He said “I believe the next Elon Musk is a 7-year-old girl in some part of the world. Thus, it is my responsibility to be successful so that everyone like her can grow up being exceptional communicators through my free content”. 

One may assume that Brendan had an exclusive upbringing that brought him to master public speaking at a very early age. But he said: "When I was 5 years old, my parents looked at me and said “Brenden, you NEED to go to French school, you live in Montreal – end of the discussion!”…. except 1 problem. I did not know the language, not even a single word.  From the ages of 5 to 16, not only was I scared of communication, like most of us, but I had to give presentations in a language I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW” . 

Today Brendan will explain:
1. How to find your public speaking why  and why this is so important
2. 3 practical tips: The random word (spoiler alert. we are talking about love!), silence drills and the endless gaze. 
3. Much more!

Our guest today is Elena Mellara,  Career Coach for the career conflicted.  

In her own words: I support career conflicted professionals in need to figure out their next steps. I am also a career changer (or twister as I like putting it) as, after 20 years in corporations covering roles in pricing and forecasting I felt my heart was not in numbers anymore but into people. That's why I twisted my career into coaching.

Today Elena is going to explain how we can identify our strengths and turn them into superpowers.
