A-Maze-ing Careers Laura Parker

In the last episode of this series of A-Maze-Ing Careers we’re going to hear from Karen whose career took a real twist when she suffered a tragedy. I’m particularly pleased that Karen is prepared to share her story as I think it will give inspiration to all of us about what is possible if you follow your instincts and have an open mind.
As with all my wonderful guests, Karen is very happy to be contacted directly. You can reach her on Facebook and Instagram with @karensuttonwidowcoach or www.karensutton.co.uk.

It is a complete pleasure to welcome Jana Hennig to A-Maze-Ing Careers. Not only did we find out when we first spoke that we did the same course at the same university so she’s obviously an incredible person, but Jana’s story is one of the most maze-like that I’ve come across. It  starts in East Germany where she was born and goes through not-for-profit, Finance, Marketing culminating in marine biology, and all of this across multiple countries. She has lots of hints and tips she wants to share with you so have a paper and pen handy as you listen.

As with all my guests Jana would love to hear from you afterwards. You can reach her on Linked In under Jana Hennig https://www.linkedin.com/in/jana-hennig-sustainable-fisheries/ 

On this A-Maze-Ing Careers episode we are meeting another one of my wonderful colleagues, Molly Steere. Molly has had the type of career change that would probably make a fascinating conversation down the pub with all the stories she could tell. At EZRA she’s one of our salespeople, but before that she was in the police, both as a detective and as a uniformed response officer. 

My guest today is Jennie Curran, a former colleague of mine who transitioned career at a time of relocating from the UK to Australia - so only two small changes then! Jen was in quite an unhappy place in one role before she moved, so I love her story because it’s about recognising that and rebuilding your confidence to find other opportunities in a completely different environment. You can contact Jennie via Linked In (just look for Jennie Curran at Hunter Valley Wine & Tourism).

This episode will take a slightly different angle. I’m really pleased to be speaking to Kaia Hannolainen who’s made the transition from the corporate world to being self-employed in a completely different space. A-Maze-Ing Careers normally focuses on stories of people moving between organisations but Kaia was so committed to helping people have the confidence to make a big change that I had to have her on. Kaia is happy to hear from people, please contact her on mail@olemine.nl .

The minute I heard Rohit’s career background I just had to have him on A-Maze-Ing Careers. I know when you hear more about his path you’ll have more questions than we can cover today (and I've shared his contact details below and at the end of the episode), but I hope you still enjoy hearing about Rohit’s complete pivot from practising as a doctor to moving into consulting, and eventually product management. Grab a cuppa, sit back and enjoy.

And after you've listened if you'd like to get in touch with Rohit you can do so on Instagram @dontchitwhereyoueat
