🎙️ Episode OverviewIn this episode of the Career Change Makers Podcast, I sit down with Kerry Griffith, a culture and inclusion changemaker, helping organisations to thrive by leveraging the power of diversity and inclusive leadership. In addition to his corporate portfolio, Kerry consults on various boards including those supporting widening participation, equity and inclusion within the education sector. When not working, Kerry can be found exploring culture through food, music and the arts. Kerry opens up about his personal journey from a traditional career path to a purpose-driven mission centred around empathy, active listening, and personal growth. We discuss the realities of career transitions, the value of staying true to yourself as a leader, and the power of inclusion in building stronger, more dynamic teams.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Career Transitions Require Courage: Why Kerry left a secure finance career and how he navigated the uncertainty to find more meaningful work.✅ Empathy and Listening Are Core to Leadership: How inclusive leadership starts with understanding your team’s experiences and perspectives.✅ Authenticity Builds Stronger Cultures: Why leading from a place of self-awareness and openness creates lasting impact.Action Steps:💡 Reflect on whether your current career path still aligns with who you are becoming not just who you were.💡 Start a conversation with a colleague or team member focused solely on listening and understanding their experience.💡 Identify one area where you can lead more inclusively, whether through language, action, or mindset.Resources:Work with JanineCareer Change Maker WebsiteJoin the Career Navigator weekly email seriesFollow Janine Esbrand on InstagramConnect with Janine Esbrand on LinkedInSubscribe to Janine Esbrand's YouTube Channel👉 Subscribe, Share, and Leave a ReviewIf you’re on a journey to elevate your leadership and make a greater impact, hit subscribe to the Career Change Maker Podcast.
