Hunting down great career ideas...

You’ve been wondering if you should engineer a career move to Head Office to further your career and now that opportunity has arrived. Make the most of this move by thinking through the opportunities it may afford you and how you will step up to this new challenge.

I recently ran a Drive Your Development programme, which sets people up for the very start of their leadership journey – and it is a journey, with twists and turns along the way.

You began your career, as most of us do, being hired as a professional trainee and have spent several years developing your expertise, gaining a professional qualification along the way. Now you are at a crossroads.

Are you good at listening to others? Most of us would say yes in the same way most of us think we are good drivers – in reality many of us lack this skill and miss a trick when it comes to developing our ability to influence. So, listen up…!

You’ve made a mistake and are now having sleepless nights worrying about when and how people will discover what has happened – do you confess and seek absolution or keep your head buried and hope it never comes to light?
