    #133 Closing a door when you feel something bigger is calling with Dr. Enya Doyle

    “If it's consulting for forever, then it's consulting for forever. But at least be the captain of your own ship and being curious about what it would be like to be the captain of my own ship.” I am talking to Dr. Enya Doyle, known as the ‘Harassment Doctor’. Enya’s closing door was the moment she decided to leave academia and start her own consultancy. Enya shares her career journey, starting from her academic roots in gender and classical music to becoming a leading consultant in anti-harassment and inclusion. The conversation is about seeing opportunity when it feels like there isn't, see something that needs addressed and decide to do something about it. I found it empowering to listen to her motivations and drive. Enya talks about the ‘Finding yourself’ moment - after spending so long living in the identity of ‘being smart’ to deciding to do ‘smart’ differently, bringing with her all that curiosity and love for learning into her next door opening.  Enya discusses the pivotal moments that shaped her path, from completing her PhD and confronting the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns to navigating personal health struggles and eventually establishing her own consultancy. Her story is a testament to the power of curiosity, adaptability, and the importance of doing "the next right thing." And an impressive reference to Disney films the whole way through our chat!  "Focus on doing the next right thing for yourself, rather than being overly concerned with long-term plans or others' expectations."   Here are the highlights:   04:54 Academia fosters curiosity and lifelong learning. 11:14 Grew up during the Northern Ireland conflict. 15:58 Surround yourself with supportive, like-minded people who uplift you. 21:28 Assume the best; people have diverse perspectives. 24:14 Arts organisations must protect freelancers and contractors. 29:17 NHS is thorough; many people often misunderstood. 31:03 Embracing self-employment; flexible, and fulfilling work journey. Dr. Enya Doyle’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Dr. Enya navigate change. Book: ‘The Year of Yes’ by Shonda Rhimes Music: Moana Soundtrack The one piece of advice: “In Frozen 2, there is a song called ‘Do the next right thing’. I think we spend a lot of our lives being told about five year plans. For me, you just got to do the next right thing. Take the next step. Do the next thing that's right for you.”   More about Dr Enya Doyle   Raised in Ireland and now based in London, Dr Enya Doyle’s unwavering commitment to driving social change has been recognised nationally for almost fifteen years. Enya has a powerful track record of providing effective and insightful training as well as thoughtful, evidence-based guidance. She collaborates with companies of all sizes across the world to prevent unwanted behaviours amongst colleagues and helps People and EDI teams respond better when it does happen. Enya specialises in challenging gender-based discrimination, sexism, and sexual violence.    enyadoyle.com  @theharassmentdoctor www.linkedin.com/in/dr-enya-doyle    About your host Eleanor Tweddell: Eleanor supports individuals, teams and organisations through change.

    #132 From tech giant to embracing entrepreneurship with Glenn Block

    “What if I could author my life the way I want it to be? What would that look like? And the more I started to think about that it was, you know, not working for anybody. It was creating my own spaces, creating my own company where I get to do the things I really care about, and where I can structure it”   Join me talking to Glenn Block, whose journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship is packed with valuable lessons and insights, and stories of how getting it wrong on the first go can turn out to be OK! Glenn shares the moment he decided to close a door on working in ‘big tech’ and launch not one but two of his own businesses. We discuss the magic of having unfiltered conversations with people when you first have an idea, our love of books and the importance of watching out for your mental health during life changes.     "Leaving corporate politics felt like closing the door on a toxic relationship; it was a necessary step towards reclaiming my mental health and professional integrity."   Here are the highlights: 06:47 MBA led to realisation: Leave the corporate for new opportunities. 20:39 Enjoying flexibility and fulfillment outside corporate environment. 22:30 Launched business in 2023; in a struggling economy. 30:01 ADHD's hyperfocus can lead to extreme productivity. 33:10 Learned more being self-employed than in a corporate job. 42:07 Seeking music to inspire hope during change. 51:57 Runway provides security and focus for success.   Glenn’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Glenn navigate change. Book: “Leadership and Self Deception” by The Arbinger Institute Music: "My Life" by Billy Joel The one piece of advice: "Planning is crucial.

    #131: Career pivoting and making leaps into the unknown with Iesha Small

    “Until that moment I had never left a job with nothing to go to. I've always had something lined up. So this time I was like, Iesha, what are you gonna do? I had no idea. And that was perfectly OK. I had to trust myself”   Today's guest, Iesha Small, shares her journey from engineering to the world of education to her current role as Head of Comms, and now encouraging others with her writing and coaching.   We talk about the twists and turns of career change, and pivoting. Where you aren't always sure what your next move is, but you make it anyway.    Sometimes doors close for us, and we have to decide what to do next, other times we are closing that door for ourselves, and we are in full ownership of why it’s important and what we want next.   Iesha shares her thoughts and ponders in a brilliant weekly blog, and takes the pressure and perfection out of career changing.    "What's the point of achieving all this stuff if it is not gelling with what you actually think is important in life?"   Here are the highlights:   11:19 First time quitting a job without backup. 16:26 Decided to take breaks and rest intuitively. 20:59 Serendipitous job came from conversations during time off. 25:20 Started career pivot talks on LinkedIn. 31:42 Choose family time over earning more money. 32:26 Intentional career shift after realising future uncertainty. 42:19 Weekly emails help with career strategy and values. 55:58 Show Your Work: Share expertise, attract opportunities.   Iesha Small’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Iesha navigate change.

    #130 Is a dream job possible, even when you close the door on a dream job?

    "I just started to ask myself, as many people do ‘Do I want to do this for another 20 years? Is there something else?’. I got curious, maybe there are some other doors I want to look through and maybe it's time to shut this door and find out." Does a dream job really exist? We’re joined by the seasoned journalist and career coach Rachel Schofield to talk about ‘dream jobs’. We explore the themes of unearthing core passions, overcoming imposter syndrome, and finding stability amidst the chaos of change. And what if you have, on paper, a dream job, but have a feeling there might be something else you want to do? Rachel shares her own story from a 20-year career at the BBC to creating a new career in coaching and training, offering insights and practical advice for anyone starting a new career chapter. Listen to rediscover joy in your work and the permission to experiment and try new things. “Maybe I'll go up to that tree house and see what's behind that door. Just go and take tiny little steps of experimentation. In career terms that might mean, I've often thought I'd like to do X. So let me go and talk to someone who does it. I've often thought it would be fun to be a graphic designer. So between now and Christmas, I'm going to do a weekly evening class at my local further education college. I don't have to be ready to upend my whole world. I'm just going to go and play.”   Here are the highlights: 04:15 Doubts arose about a lifelong TV news presenting career. 07:23 Career transitions evoke mixed emotions and considerations. 12:00 Transitioned from news to coaching; misses presenting.  18:56 Repurpose experience; embrace new directions confidently. 20:54 Juggling journalism, coaching and presentation training.  25:32 Embrace challenges; expertise grows through experience. 31:38 Coffee chat led to a book opportunity. 34:07 Social media fosters envy; practice graciousness instead. 36:45 Being last doesn't necessarily mean you failed.   Rachel Schofield’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Rachel navigate change. Book: ‘Big Magic’ by Elizabeth Gilbert.  Music: ‘Closer to Fine’ by the Indigo Girls.  The one piece of advice:  "When you're thinking about particularly a career shift...really lean into experimentation. So rather than thinking you need to sit there and figure it all out...just think maybe I'll just knock on that blue door over there. Maybe I'll just look in that little tiny door that looks like a fairy door at the bottom of the tree."   About Rachel Schofield Rachel Schofield is a career coach, author, facilitator and speaker. Before making her very own career pivot, Rachel reported and presented for the BBC for over twenty years. Her book "The Career Change Guide: Five Steps to Finding Your Dream Job" was published by Penguin in 2023.

    #129 From ‘Corporate Hangover’ to the Happy Startup Coach with Sarah Clarke

    “The problem with having ‘a corporate hangover’ is that it doesn't allow you to be authentically yourself. And in order to be a successful business owner, you need to be authentically yourself.”   On this episode we have Sarah Clarke, who closed a door on a corporate career after being made redundant and discovering she was pregnant for a second time. Sarah shares how motherhood and the redundancy gave her the impetus to start her own business. She now helps women start and grow their businesses as "The Happy Startup Coach."   "I kind of remember mulling over my idea for this new business with the friend I was staying with at the breakfast bar. I was like, well, you know, lots of people have really crappy returns to work, don't they?"   Here are the highlights:   04:26 Enjoying work, learning, culture change, OD and got the bug. 11:00 Taking a three-month contract to cover maternity pay after redundancy. 18:38 Prepare properly before taking action, gain clarity. 25:25 Navigating and caring for yourself through entrepreneurship. 30:34 Find your business coaching niche in yourself. 35:19 Reflect on passions, dislikes, and energising activities.   Sarah’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Sarah navigate change. Books: ‘Be a Free Range Human’ by Marianne Campbell and ‘The Source’ by Dr. Tara Swart Music: ‘Go your Own Way’, Fleetwood Mac The one piece of advice: “I wanted to take action. I wanted to do.

    #128 Coming back from your darkest day with Andy Coley

    Content Warning: This episode mentions attempted suicide and despair.    “If you put me back 13 years ago when I was going to run my car into a tree I never ever would have believed that this life I have right now is possible. I would have called you absolutely fucking bonkers to ever thought that was possible." Andy Coley   In today's episode, we have Andy Coley, who shares his story of his “epic life fail” as Life took over, ‘wrong’ decisions, foggy thinking, where everything felt out of control in the pursuit of being in full control. Andy shares the moment he felt like there was only one way out of it, and the moment he realised there was a better way.    We talk about how our inner voice can beat ourselves up, create unwanted noise, the constant chatter and how clarity comes in amongst the confusion. Andy shares how he found a new path through coaching and neuro linguistic programming (NLP), but it wasn't without the ups and downs of navigating a transformative journey.    Andy shares how being in control is sometimes more about letting go, and knowing you can trust yourself, rather than keeping a tight grip that is surfacing your progress.    “Don’t let life happen to you, be in control, but not so tight it hinders” Here are the highlights: 05:35 Struggled with suicidal thoughts, found hope and support. 07:55 Inner turmoil and self-doubt overcome with help. 11:40 Seeking help and support to overcome debt. 16:02 Struggling business turned around through coaching and NLP. 18:32 Discussing the importance of therapy and coaching for help. 25:10 Struggled at boot camp, but found support. 30:18 Extensive NLP training business, coaching and team development. 31:33 Focus on leadership and management in business. 34:51 Motivational speaker focuses on impact, not money. 40:07 Seek and embrace support in tough times. 48:11 Take control of your life, make changes. Andy’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Andy navigate change. Books: “NLP at Work”, by Sue Knight Music: “Times Like These.” Foo Fighters The one piece of advice:  “Get support and perspective. Find someone who's a good listener, not a good teller. Or journal, get it out of your head…just write it. Set your intentions for your future. Your unconscious mind needs some direction. What is it you'd love to have happen? What would you like it to be like in a year's time from where you are right now? Don’t be afraid to have bold goals for yourself. They are a signal to yourself that you mean it”.   About Andy Coley Andy is an award-winning TEDx speaker (he won TEDx speaker of the year last year) and is also an executive coach and leadership development trainer who works with major plc businesses, the NHS and organisations such as Meta, The Cabinet Office and a lot within the computer games industry.    He's currently working on a leadership development book which is due to hit the shelves in October 2024.   Find out more: https://www.andycoley.com; https://www.gamestudiotraining.com   Connect with Andy: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andycoley/ About your host Eleanor Tweddell Eleanor supports individuals, teams and organisations through change.

    #127 Coming Through The Other Side of Burnout

    “I know that burnout is preventable. I know that every single one of us can take steps to prevent it and to avoid it. I will say, perhaps somewhat oddly, for some of us, we have to get to that point of burnout in order for us to make the changes. I want to make burnout not be a thing, because we never reach it"   In today's episode is Kelly Swingler, ‘the burnoutologist’ and author of Mind The Gap: A Story of Burnout, Breakthrough and Beyond. Kelly shares her moment of burnout in a high pressure HR corporate role, and how she is now on a mission to banish burnout altogether as a place we never get to.   We explore the nuances of burnout, exploring the importance of preventative measures, introspection, and redefining success beyond material gains. We cover the significance of self-care, identity, and re-evaluating your values to prevent burnout. But most importantly we share an optimism than burnout does not need to be a thing.   "Who am I at my core? What are my values, my passions, my drivers, my strengths, what gets me out of bed in the morning? What motivates me? The closer we can get to that, the further away from burnout."   Here are the highlights:   01:39 Burnout can show up in our lives in so many different ways.  09:07 Plans changed, unexpected family expansion, and I faced an uncertain future. 11:29 Recognised the need to help others. 16:56 Clients feeling broken due to burnout. 30:16 If you are struggling with burnout, seek help from professionals. 48:08 Toxic power dynamics lead to stress and burnout. 53:17 Staying aligned prevents burnout from taking over.   Kelly’s Another Door go-tos The things that helped Kelly navigate change. Books: "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown  Music: Any track by Pink The one piece of advice:  “I would invite you to sit with the question. Who are you? And either…sit with a friend and just sit and ask the question or sit and journal with it? Speak it into your phone. Do it with a team member. Do it with a loved one. Do it with a child, family member, partner, whoever. “   About Kelly Kelly is a leading voice and expert in Burnout in the world of work. “My first Burnout made me seriously ill and my second almost killed me. When I left my in-house corporate career my replacement died in her sleep whilst away on a leadership residential. My work exists because no other Leader will experience Burnout or jeopardise their health for their career, and no other Leader will die.” Kelly has worked with employers such as Waitrose, John Lewis, Luminus Group, and Genesis Housing. ​Clients include Thomas Cook, NEWS UK, LUSH, Huawei, Tesco, Walsingham Support, BUNZL, M&S, Affinity Water, Reigate and Banstead Borough Borough Council, NHS, Dominos, LifePlus, Visa, Natwest, and Barclays. Kelly is a five-time author, and contributor for a variety of magazines, newspapers, and publications, and appears on radio and TV raising issues around burnout.  Kelly’s mission is to banish Burnout in a changing world of work is what gets me out of bed each day.

    #126 Breaking free from toxic productivity to find joy

    "I was doing far too much and I had been doing far too much as long as I could remember. I didn't know the word burnout still at that point in time but I was burnt out and I needed to make a drastic change." In today's episode, we're joined by the incredible Tamu Thomas, who brings her wisdom and heart-centred approach to self-growth and healing. Tamu shares her story of transitioning from a high pressure, high stress career to a life more aligned with her core values, and a life filled with more joy. A move sparked by her battles with depression, anxiety, and a powerful wake-up call during a panic attack. We talk about her latest book, "Women Who Work Too Much," which is a rallying cry for women (actually anyone can read this and resonate!) to see their true selves beyond societal expectations. I loved the poetic and affirming notes in her book that seek to connect directly with the heart, and support you to break free from a toxic work culture. So often we don’t realise we are in that cycle, or that we have options. So join us for a deeply inspirational and soothing conversation about breaking free, finding our own rhythm, and embracing the beautiful messiness of life.  "I thought there's no way in the world I am robbing my child of a vibrant, energetic, joyful mother. I want to make sure that I am role modelling for her something different, a ‘new form of womanhood’."   Here are the highlights:   04:44 Struggling single mum vows to work for herself. 07:38 Overcoming panic, burnout, and seeking personal growth. 10:11 Supporting women to work less, live more. 15:07 Seek help and support in your journey. 19:14 Plans to publish book developed naturally and unexpectedly. 22:58 Hay House supported book on challenging topics. 24:32 Clarity in understanding and expressing core values. 30:18 Investing in coaching, growth-minded friends, and transition. 32:35 Open up, connect, and explore new perspectives. 39:17 Book addresses shadow aspects of working too much.   Tamu Thomas’ Another Door go-tos The things that helped Tamu navigate change. Books: “The Shadow Effect" by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson. “Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson** Music: “Love Will Save the Day" by Des-ree* The one piece of advice:  “Look at the door in front of you. Be moved by the door in front of you. Walk through that door. Take the next step and the next step and the next step. Keep your walking forward.”   About your host Eleanor Tweddell: Eleanor supports individuals, teams and organisations through change.
