What does authentic leadership really look like, and how do we bring more of ourselves to the way we lead?

In this episode of Your Career Journey, I’m joined by Ann Pocock, founder of Kinetic Effect and former Corporate Marketing Communications Director, who shares her powerful transition from the corporate world to leadership coaching.

Ann and I talk about what it means to lead with emotional intelligence and curiosity. And why self-awareness and adaptability are now essential leadership skills, not nice-to-haves.

Ann shares her personal experiences with redundancy, the small but mighty “micro steps” that helped her move forward, and the lessons she’s learned about building a more human approach to leadership.

We also explore:

✨ How to navigate the shift from corporate life to self-employment
✨ Why emotionally intelligent leaders create safer, more productive workplaces
✨ How to embed a strengths-based approach into your team culture
✨ What it really takes to lead with authenticity and purpose

If you’re reflecting on your own leadership journey, or want to bring more heart and self-awareness into how you work. Then this conversation is a great place to start, with lots of insights, practical advice and suggestions for free resources and next steps.

What really happens when you’re laid off, and how do you bounce back stronger?

In this episode of Your Career Journey, I speak with Steve Jaffe, a marketing leader whose 25+ year career has taken him from advertising to client-side roles to tech startups. Along the way, he’s faced layoffs (or redundancies, depending on where you’re based) four times.

👉 The first time left him devastated.
👉 By the fourth, he sailed through.

So what changed? 

Steve shares the mindset shifts, coping strategies, and practical tools he developed. And the “framework” that helped him move from shock to growth, much like navigating the stages of grief.

We also dive into:
✨ Why identity and self-worth can’t just be tied to your job title 
✨ The role of relationships and mind-body-spirit balance in building resilience
✨ How to reframe layoffs as a chance to reset and renew 
✨ How to future-proof your career in a rapidly changing world 

Whether you’ve been impacted by a layoff, want to prepare for uncertainty, or just need inspiration for your next chapter, this conversation is packed with lessons you can use.

Are you stuck on the traditional career ladder?  

Maybe it’s time to rethink what success really looks like. 🚀 

In this episode, I sit down with marketing leader Janice Lee-Fu to unpack the power of nonlinear career paths and discuss why they might just be the fastest route to growth, fulfilment, and long-term resilience.

Janice’s journey spans engineering, global FMCG brands, executive leadership, e-commerce, and academia. Along the way, she’s learned how curiosity, agility, and resilience open doors you never expect, and why stepping sideways (or even backwards) can propel you further than climbing straight up.

🔥 What you’ll take away:

 ✔️ The “rock climbing wall” analogy that redefines career growth
 ✔️ Why agility and curiosity drive innovation and long-term success
 ✔️ Lessons from FMCG, e-commerce, and highly regulated industries
 ✔️ How financial literacy gives marketers a competitive edge
 ✔️ Practical leadership strategies to engage and retain next-gen talent
 ✔️ Why ditching the linear path can help you stand out in a crowded market

Whether you’re a marketer, creative, or professional seeking change, this conversation will give you the tools and the confidence to design a career that’s truly your own.
