How to make bold career decisions — even when it’s easier to stay where you are.Hannah shares how she left a well-respected director role at Barclays, not because she disliked it, but because she was thinking long-term. The lesson? "Go when it’s easiest to stay, and stay when it’s easiest to go."2. Why self-awareness is your greatest career strategyAlice breaks down how carving out intentional time to think about your career, track your patterns, and reflect on what energises you is essential, especially during uncertain times.3. The importance of having a ‘Personal Board of Directors’From negotiating salaries to navigating transitions, Hannah shares how having mentors and advisors who are “two or three steps ahead” has been transformational.4. How to think about your personal brand without boxing yourself inAlice reframes personal brand as strategic storytelling flexible, responsive, and anchored in who you are and where you’re going, not just what you’ve done.5. Career growth requires communitym not doing it aloneFrom co-working communities to courageous friendships, both guests talk about the power of women supporting women through the messy middle of career change.🧭 Action StepsHere are three practical steps you can take after listening:Block out one hour a week for “Career CEO Time.” Use it for reflection, networking, journaling, or job searching. Treat it like a meeting with yourself because it is.Build (or update) your Personal Board of Directors. Identify 3–5 people ahead of you in the areas you want to grow and reach out.Audit your identity anchors.
