“Seniority doesn't win, experience does” - Kevin Finn

This month’s theme

This month we discuss the significance of identifying crossroads within our careers or organisations. In each episode, we explore the pivotal moments where decisions shape our professional trajectories, and strategies for navigating challenges and change as an employee or a leader.

From career transitions and industry shifts to leadership changes and organisational restructuring, we unpack practical strategies, share success stories, and empower listeners to embrace challenges and change as a catalyst for growth and innovation.

In this episode you’ll hear about

  • Ways to identify a crossroads in your career
  • Reflecting on whether a company’s culture aligns with your values
  • How business leaders can create the conditions for successful transformation and change within their organisation
  • How to foster buy-in and collaboration from the wider team to drive organisational change forward
