05/26/22 • 32 min

In this episode I chat to Paul Porter who is passionate about people, growth, employee engagement, and experience that enables individuals and teams to be the best they can be every day. Paul is a true male ally to everyone wanting to develop or make changes in their careers. As an HR and Leadership professional, now working with Thrive Law - Employment Law and HR Specialists, Paul offers a huge amount of advice and insight in this episode - touching on what a male ally is, how to find them and how we can all impact the world of equality and diversity. Paul articulates his awareness of the privileges he has (male, white, educated...) but shares how he - and others like him - can be supporters and sponsors to anyone trying to make changes in their careers. Paul is a father of three children and he and his wife work hard to ensure an equal balance in the household - stressing the importance of role modelling this behaviour to our children.

Career Happy Mums: The Podcast - Career Remainers: Wendy North - Covid and Career Uncertainty
play

04/21/22 • 31 min

In this episode I chat to Wendy North who, working as a freelancer in events, found herself without work and therefore income, literally overnight when the first Covid pandemic lockdown came. Wendy found herself questioning would the world, and therefore her career, ever return to normal? Was working in the event industry even what she wanted for the next phase in her career?

Wendy shares how she navigated this uncertainty and how she made decisions on what was right for her and her family - which was not always what the rest of her network would have chosen or advised her to.

This conversation with Wendy provides some great insight, and advice and even touches on advice around making the decision (or not) to go self-employed.

play

06/02/22 • 32 min

In this episode I chat to Kelly Keating who, with a career spanning 25 years across SMEs the Third Sector and Financial Services, has purposefully established a portfolio career to ensure life and career can work together and be mutually rewarding.

Kelly shares her journey to reaching this goal, giving insight to a few of the many things Kelly is involved in as an employee, a self-employed Coach, a charity Board member, the co-lead of a professional female networking platform as well as being a mum to a five-year-old and a wife!

Kelly shares how she has positioned herself to make a difference - in her organisation and outside of this by living true to her values of Integrity, Community, Compassion, Growth and Connection.

Kelly does not profess to being Superwoman by any means (although I do wonder!) and is very honest about the "juggle" she still manages. The clear positive here though, is Kelly's passion for all she does resulting in the fulfilment her portfolio career affords her.

Kelly is upbeat, positive yet grounded and I am confident you will find this episode both interesting and inspiring.
