A few weeks ago I was invited onto the podcast Your Bravo Career.

The podcast is hosted by Career Coach and LinkedIn Top Voice Mark Crossfield.

And my episode has just hit the airwaves.

Here’s some of what Mark and I chew the fat about:

*** How my experience of the 9 to 5 has shifted from anguish & torture to ease & flow.  4 years ago I was mentally & physically exhausted and tearing my hair out about my workload, the bureaucracy and the stress of my job.  If someone had told me that 4 years later I’d be working in the same job and looking forward to going into the office each day, I would’ve stared at them as if they’d come straight from the loony bin

*** My “battle-tested” tips to anyone feeling trapped or unfulfilled in their careers

*** What led to me quitting my banking job (I mention some personal stuff I’ve never talked about publicly before)

*** One thing I wish I’d known at the start of my career which undoubtedly would’ve stopped me experiencing the job-related turmoil I did.  I strongly believe that anyone who sees this for themselves will have a more relaxed, easy-going relationship with work, whatever that relationship is like today. That might sound like a big claim, but I stand by it

*** The changes my colleagues have noticed in me since coming back to the office

*** My left-field advice to anyone who wants to love their job and have a great career.  This advice isn’t something you’ll find in any graduate induction manual or book about career change.  It’s not something your boss will ever tell you.  But to my mind it holds the key to loving your job

*** The single biggest a-ha moment I had during my 7 month certification training with “supercoach” Michael Neill and the game-changing impact this a-ha moment has had on my life

*** How I’m sharing what I’ve learnt with my colleagues in the office

*** The one sentence I read in countless books and heard on multiple podcasts which made no sense to me for pretty much 20 years. Yet which I now not only understand, but which has completely changed my perspective on how to be happy at work (and in life, for that matter)

*** Feeling burnt out or on the road to burn out?  I talk to Mark about one thing you can do right here, right now, to release some of that pressure (and it’s different to the advice I gave in my email about burn out two days ago)

*** My daily routine, my writing, my newsletter and my love of magic

It was a fun, interesting and wide-ranging conversation.
