    Geoff Martin - Think Big Careers

    Geoff Martin - Think Big Careers

    In episode 258 of YOUR CAREER Podcast I speak with Geoff Martin who is an inspirational executive HR Leader,  Executive and Career Transition Coach who can positively turn any downside, whether business, or personal, into blue sky and value.

    In this podcast interview we discuss how encephalitis; brain surgery  and Geoff’s near-death experience has strongly influenced how he now approaches his life and work. 

    Geoff’s overseas experience and love of all things Japanese (he is fluent in the language) has enabled him to create a career that truly is his Ikigai (his reason for being).

    Geoff’s experiences range from HR Director of an ASX listed human services company, and senior HR roles in the insurance and banking industries. 
    He has led national HR teams supporting client groups of over 2000 employees. 
    He’s worked with leaders including Board Chairmans, Board Remuneration & Selection Committees, CEOs and C-Suite executives.
    Geoff works with his clients to take a holistic approach in how each role aligns to important lifestyle, family, values, and wellbeing goals. 
    This is Geoff’s ‘Professional Purpose’ that has developed from his lived experience of surviving his near-death illness and his subsequent career transformation not only in productivity and quality, but importantly in happiness, wellbeing and whole-of-life.

    How to Handle a Mid-Career Crisis

    How to Handle a Mid-Career Crisis

    HOW TO NAVIGATE A MID-CAREER CRISIS
    Are you facing a mid-career crisis? Don’t PANIC! The good news is that there is a FORMULA for career success! In episode 257 of Your Career Podcast we focus on this formula.


    Firstly, are you STUCK IN A RUT?
    Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Like you’re not making any progress, or you’re not enjoying your work anymore? You are not alone. Many mid-career professionals face a career crisis at some point in their lives.


    I frequently come across this CAREER SCENARIO:


    You’ve jumped from job-to-job, feeling dissatisfied, always looking for the elusive perfect role. Or you’ve been working in the same company for over 10 years, doing the same kind of work, day in and day out.


    You are good at what you do, but you feel frustrated, bored and unfulfilled. And you also feel unappreciated and that affects your self-confidence and job satisfaction. You want to do something more meaningful and challenging, something that aligns with your passion and purpose.  


    And of course you need to earn a living too.  But you realise it’s not all about the money, even though your priority is to ensure that you can pay your bills.  But you don’t know what you’re passionate about, let alone the ‘purpose’ that you’re supposed to find. 


    There are so many options and possibilities, and you don’t know which one is right for you. You're scared you may make a wrong move, or risk your financial stability.  Perhaps you have people who depend on you and your income too.


    You feel trapped in a career that no longer suits you, but how can you make a break for it without risking everything?  And another month goes by, then another and a year later you realise you’re still in the same place, continuing around on that proverbial hamster wheel.


    And then redundancy looms … oh no!  You feel anxious and pray that your role won’t be affected.  Then a call from HR for a meeting and your heart sinks.  What you had hoped would never happen, is happening.


    Don’t struggle on your own. Invest in your career success with one-on-one bespoke career coaching . I’ve over 70+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google reviews from my happy clients.
    And what if you want to FAST TRACK YOUR CAREER SUCCESS? To get it all FAST with my no-nonsense approach, FAST-TRACK your job search during my VIP CAREER DAY  where I focus on YOU ALL DAY and your specific career concerns . Check it out here: VIP Career Day link.

    Trevor Weeding - Head of Operations and HR, TryPOD Australia & Enigma HR

    Trevor Weeding - Head of Operations and HR, TryPOD Australia & Enigma HR

    When considering your own career journey, it's inspiring to learn from those who have made successful career transitions and reinvented their career.  In today's episode we are in conversation with Head of Operations and Human Resources at TryPOD Australia and Enigma HR, Trevor Weeding.

    In this episode we discuss the challenges candidates experience during job interviews, discuss the worst job interview experiences and also how a badly delivered redundancy notification can affect an employee's emotional wellbeing and mental health.
    A little background on Trevor: After a successful 35 year career in the media industry, Trevor “reinvented” himself in 2014 and embarked on a new career path, based in Sydney’s southern suburbs, focussing on connecting local business and their community. 
    He spent 10 years as a Board member at ESBEC, Eastern Suburbs Business Enterprise Centre, supporting SME’s with training and skills support. 
    Trevor has also been on the boards of community radio 2NBC - FM and The Morris Children’s Fund and is still a keen supporter of St George Medical Research Foundation.
    After 3 years in the recruitment and HR industry, Trevor transitioned into entrepreneurship and founded Development Pathways in early 2020, where his passion for assisting small business became his business.   
    This led to him being chosen for his new role at Trypod Australia and Enigma HR.
    The Law of Reciprocity is a mantra for Trevor and he is a BNI member and member of three local business chambers.

    How to Future Proof Your Career in 2024

    How to Future Proof Your Career in 2024

    How to Future Proof Your Career in 2024!  In a recent LinkedIn Livestream, I teamed up with LinkedIn Livestream expert, Gillian Whitney, to discuss how you can Future-Proof Your Career in 2024.   In this episode I share the recording of our ‘live’ discussion and you'll benefit from the comments and questions we received from the audience during our session too!
    We answer 6 key questions:
    1.     How to get clear on what you want to achieve in 2024
    2.     How to become a content creator on LinkedIn to attract the opportunities you desire
    3.     How to create an effective content strategy for success in 2024 
    4.     Why you must add video and live streaming to your personal branding strategy  
    5.     How to choose your live stream equipment 
    6.     How to repurpose your live streams to reach a wider audience
    As a career coach helping professionals to take control of their careers, I highlight the importance of becoming a content creator in 2024 to position yourself as the expert 'go-to' person in your field, and explain the power of LinkedIn Livestreams to broaden your audience reach.  
    Gillian Whitney, who runs Video Easy Peasy, covers future-proofing strategies, including using the versatility of platforms like Streamyard and the potential of repurposing the content you create to reach your target audience (recruiters, hiring managers and, for business owners, your customers and clients).
    Authenticity in your messaging emerges as a central theme as we both advocate for genuine connections over scripted performances during a live broadcast. We also explain the significance of an effective content strategy for establishing yourself as an industry expert.
    Video is a crucial element in personal branding, and you will discover how to effectively self-promote your capabilities without feeling too ‘sales-y’. 
    We share practical live streaming essentials and cover lighting, sound quality, and equipment recommendations. 
    During this fascinating discussion we delve into the broader aspects of navigating life's challenges, including self-assessment, adapting to AI in career development, and viewing AI as a tool rather than a crutch.  Times are changing and we all must adapt to the changes in order not only to survive as professionals, but to thrive!
    Enjoy this episode and prepare yourself for success in 2024!

Great Podcast covering all things career

Jane does a great job of discussing different aspects of career growth and personal branding which are two key factors that helps people to love their job and make an impact.

The topics are very relevant to the current circumstances and are short nuggets of wisdom for anyone wanting to take their career growth to the next level.
