Passion Project by Talent Foundry Gabriella Parker

I can’t believe I’m even writing this but we’ve made it to our season finale! 10 amazing guests in total, finishing with this incredible insight and wisdom from Author, Coach and Executive Search specialist, Gavin Presman.
Gavin talks growth mindset. What it is, why it’s so important and how you can use it to succeed in your job search, your career and your life.
I’ve been reliably informed that this is the best episode of the season so far so grab your earphones, head out in the fresh air and give it a listen!

If you're looking to build your personal brand on LinkedIn and don't already follow Sam Swirsky, then stop what you're doing and connect with him immediately.  Sam has become a bit of a legend on LinkedIn for his amazing LinkedIn tips which are led him to create one of the best communities of engaged followers I have ever seen on LinkedIn.
Not even having a LinkedIn account a mere 2 years ago, Sam has built an incredible personal brand on LinkedIn that has organically led him to being approached and offered several jobs (one of which is an incredible role in recruitment that he started just yesterday).
Giving some game changing tips which will set you up for success in building your personal brand on LinkedIn whatever your objectives, this is an episode not to be missed.  
Oh and listen out for Sam managing to get some info out of me on the secret business venture I'm working on in the background that could quite possibly change the world of work.

Looking for a job is a full time job in itself, but where on earth do you start?  In this week's episode, Performance and Habits Coach Azzy Aslam, gives some amazing tips on how to embed 6 key things into being daily habits so that you can secure your next role (and hopefully have some fun along the way).

Using science to build habits, routines and behaviours which will change the game in your job search, if you're currently feeling like you're hitting your head against a brick wall when it comes to finding a new job, then Azzy can definitely help.  Definitely a must listen listen for anyone currently on the job search!

Wow, where do I start with this one?  It takes a lot of courage to be open and honest about any kind of challenge in your life, but to lead the conversation on a topic that’s hardly ever discussed in order to help others is pretty incredible. 

Sarah talks about her return to work after maternity leave, the struggles she faced emotionally and how she found her confidence, her voice and herself again despite it all. 

There’s some brilliant online resources mentioned in this episode and they’re linked below:

A huge thank you to Sarah for speaking up on this topic. You really are a superhero wether you believe it or not!

Saying the last 12 months have been challenging for this week's guest, James Krappe, would be an understatement.  Owning any kind of business during Covid has been tough but imagine owning a digital marketing company that purely specialised in hospitality. 
James gives us a very real and honest insight into owning a business, how he managed to keep himself and his customer's afloat during Covid and now bouncing back better than ever, tips for anyone with a dream of setting up on their own and what's really caught his attention when recruiting.
So if you're considering ditching the 9-5 and building your own empire, or you're currently looking for a job and want some insight into what hiring managers are looking for, this one's for you.

This one is a cracker!  My guest this week is Paul Carolan, Executive Coach and all round amazing guy.  This is his first podcast but after hearing this back, this definitely won't be his last.  An absolute podcast natural, with so many tips on finding what you're passionate about, making that passion happen as a career and generally offering some amazing coaching tips, this one is not to be missed.

Previously working in commercial strategy, Paul realised he had a passion for coaching and 4 years ago, made that passion a full time career reality.  Now (in my opinion) one of the best coaches in the industry, Paul offers corporate or 121 coaching and genuinely changes lives.
