| 06 Sep 2015 | 28 THE LONELINESS OF THE JOB SEEKER | 00:16:50 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 28: THE LONELINESS OF THE JOB SEEKERI was prompted to write this after a coaching session I had with a client this week. When it comes to career transition, it can be quite challenging and if you don’t have support it becomes even more challenging. Are you lucky enough to enjoy healthy and happy relationships with a great support group? Or do you feel lonely, or stuck with people who just drag you down? Let’s have a chat about this today because if you’re feeling lonely or you’re unhappy, the job search process will be much harder than it needs to be.One of the biggest issues that many people struggle with is loneliness. And sometimes the people we do know and spend time with aren’t always good for us. But often as we go through life we fall into relationships with people who aren’t necessarily healthy for us, and it can be hard to extract ourselves from them.How do we build healthy new relationships?So how do we strike out and build new relationships with people? And just as importantly, move away from negative relationships that we may feel trapped in – relationships that suck the positive energy from our life and prevent us from building better relationships with more emotionally-healthy friends.Look at yourself firstDo you spend the majority of your time in the wrong relationship, or on activities that take you away from good relationships? If so, you may be trapped in a cycle of temporary friendships and superficial relationships that are briefly exciting but meaningless.But while you may recognise that the people in your life aren’t always good for you, what can you do about it? How can you build positive, lasting relationships?Where do you find great friends who can be ‘the wind beneath our wings’ – people who love and support us through good times and tough times? The first place you need to look, maybe surprisingly, is in yourself. Are you comfortable with yourself?It’s impossible to have a healthy relationship with someone else if you’re not genuinely comfortable with yourself. When you remove yourself from negative relationships and people who drag you down, you’ll often spend more time on your own for a while.But if you fear solitude, you risk staying in situations, or with people, who may not be good for you. You may feel a desperate need to ‘belong’, whether or not it’s the right situation for you to be in.The fear of being alone can lead you to making firm friends too hastily – even if they aren’t the best choice for you.Are you worried you’re not good enough?If you don’t fully value yourself, you also risk not being your authentic self with others, as you’ll be worried the real you is not good enough. Instead you’ll crave external validation of who you are, and that you’re ‘okay’ by being what you think others want to see.This can create a vicious cycle that takes you away from the feeling of peace that comes from accepting that you are ‘enough.’ Enough in your own eyes is the best place to start – from there you can build positive relationships with those who appreciate you for who you really are.Are you happy spending time alone?But what does being comfortable with yourself mean? It means being happy to spend time alone, relishing the freedom of simply reading, writing, learning a new skill, or doing anything you enjoy.Getting lost in the moment while enjoying simple pleasures is amazing for your soul, because when you learn to enjoy solitude, you won’t

| 20 Sep 2015 | 32 JOB SEARCH TRENDS | 00:07:08 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 32: When it comes to the job search process, many of my clients tell me they’ve found that things have changed over the years. What are the new trends that are affecting your job search? How are you going to stay ahead of the game? If you plan to only stick to traditional methods to apply for jobs, you may end up without even a look in!According to a 2014 Jobvite.com survey, 69% of recruiters expect competition for jobs to increase in 2015. 73% of employers are planning to increase their investment in social networking to find candidates. And in 2014 51% of recruiters planned to increase their investment in mobile recruiting. However, according to the same survey, recruiters say that 60% of their best candidates are found through referrals.This research confirms that it is more important than ever to do your homework to understand all the methods that are used in recruitment in order to stay competitive when looking for a job. YOUR NETWORKIt is highly beneficial to gain a referral from someone who knows what you can do, can vouch for your work ethic and aptitude and make a strong recommendation that you are a strong contender for the role you are targeting. In a sea of seemingly identical candidates, the word of one trusted colleague to another is the best way for an applicant to get noticed. YOUR ONLINE BRAND ON SOCIAL MEDIAWhile referrals are a great way to get your foot in the door, recruiters and employers are also turning to social media. Social recruiting has become an essential resource in the hunt for qualified job candidates. According to the 2014 Jobvite survey, 73% of recruiters have hired a candidate through social media. And 93% of recruiters review a candidate’s social profile before making a decision. The powerful professional networking site, LinkedIn, continues to be a recruiter’s network of choice and Facebook and Twitter are also gaining in popularity to find and vet candidates. (94% of recruiters currently use LinkedIn for recruiting, 66% use Facebook and 52% use Twitter.)It is essential to manage your online brand effectively. Listen to Episode 11 of this podcast, “The Top 3 Tips for a Stand Out LinkedIn profile’ to be sure that you are doing your online brand justice!Mobile Recruiting According to the Jobvite survey, recruiters use mobile devices to post jobs, search for and contact candidates, and forward resumes to colleagues. 51% of recruiters have plans to increase their investment in mobile recruiting.So what does this mean for candidates and employers? Companies whose websites are optimised for mobile devices will be at an advantage. As for candidates, a survey by GlassDoor.com states that 90% of job seekers will use their mobile phones or tablets as one of their job search strategies in the next 12 months. That’s a 7% increase from last year.So, to stay ahead of the competition when job hunting this year pay attention to the big shift to online recruitment via social media and mobile devices, where both companies and job candidates are relying on technology to boost their professional brands and reach out to each other. Balance this out with good old-fashioned face-to-face networking for referrals, advice and guidance and you will stay ahead of the game!So that’s it for today.

Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Brian Quirke’s business career spans 45 years much of it spent in banking & finance where he held a number of leadership positions in both support (Head of Human Resources) and in the line (Head of Retail Branch Banking). Since departing the banking industry he has moved through a number of senior roles in professional services including Outplacement, Recruitment and into entrepreneurship for the last 10 years as an owner of PHR Consulting where he is a leadership and career coach.He is far from convinced that leadership had improved much, if at all, during his time in the commercial world and believes that this is having a detrimental impact of the quality of the lives many people live. He believes that through improving the skills of leaders you create a trickle down effect that not only engages employees but also ultimately creates better lives.Brian discusses how careers were viewed in the 1960’s for a young person entering the workforce and how things have changed for the baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. Brian talks about his passion for coaching and how his career transitions have prepared him well for the role he now plays in the lives of his clients who are experiencing change in their careers too.Find Brian at www.phrconsulting.com.au

| 27 Sep 2015 | 34 NETWORKING AT A CONFERENCE | 00:10:26 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 34: Forget the sweaty palms and anxiety over meeting people you don’t know. If you’re going to attend a conference, it's the perfect opportunity to Network so consider all the benefits! Networking at a conference is, believe it or not, easier than you think - even if you are a shy person or you think that networking is only for those who like ‘schmoozing.’ Follow the tips below and you may find that you actually have a good time!The benefits from networking at a conference include meeting new people who can give you new information or leads that could generate new ideas or open up new possibilities for you. Think about staying focused on the positive outcomes and enjoying yourself rather than worrying about putting your foot in your mouth. At conferences you will be in close proximity to some big names, leaders in your field, and what a great opportunity to learn from them and give them the opportunity to get to know you too.Now, you can disregard these suggestions and simply do what makes you feel most comfortable, or you can take a deep breath, challenge yourself and give these suggestions a go. Remember that networking is simply about creating an opportunity to develop positive working relationships. It's not about trying to sell something to someone.•Start networking before you even arrive at the conference. Find out who will be presenting and when, who will be attending, who would be in your area of interest and who might be interested in what you have to offer. Have a look at presenters’ websites, find out items of interest and check out their background on LinkedIn.•Find out key presenters emails and drop them a short note to introduce yourself and let them know you look forward to listening to their talk. This may provide a surprisingly easy opening for you at the conference to make contact.•Most likely you will be provided with a nametag at the conference. Wear it as it makes it easier for all those you meet to remember your name.•Arrive early, sit up front, and be attentive so you can raise relevant points after the presentation. Make sure you have your business cards with you and perhaps even a personalised note on the back. (Make sure your business card clearly states what you do and represent – the presenter will receive many cards during the conference so you need to stand out.) After the presentation, if there is the opportunity to speak with the presenter, tell the presenter how much you enjoyed the talk and why. Ask relevant open-ended questions. Ask if you can follow up with an email to them or even a phone call. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know how accommodating the presenter might be.•When talking, get to the point quickly. Have questions prepared so you won't be tongue tied if feeling a little nervous. You may wish to preface your conversation with something like, “I have two quick questions if there's time …” It might be possible to arrange to see the presenter again at another similar event during the conference if they are not free to talk right away. If appropriate have your promotional material (preferably brief and compelling reading) on hand to pass on IF appropriate.•A good networker is a good listener, so while you are talking to the presenter focus 100% on them and not anyone else. Encourage the presenter to talk. Maintain eye contact and open body language. If you promise to follow up on something you’ve discussed, take a quick note and e

| 09 Oct 2015 | 37 NEGOTIATING A PAY RISE | 00:11:13 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 37: You love your job, you work long hours, you deliver without fail and you like your boss. However, you have a sneaky feeling that you are not getting paid what you are worth. Before you march into your manager’s office and insist on a pay rise, prepare well for your negotiation to give yourself the best possible chance for success.Approach the negotiation with an open and positive mindset. The conversation should be a request for a salary review based on your performance in the role, not a demand for a salary increase. The salary discussion is not a battle, it is a conversation and should end up being a 'win-win' situation for both you and your manager. 1. Conduct Your ResearchBefore you approach your manager, ensure that you conduct research to find out the current market value of your role in your industry. You can do this by gathering information from your network of contacts that work in a similar industry and by comparing the information provided in various online salary surveys through major recruitment agencies such as www.robertwalters.com. These salary surveys provide the current market rate for different roles in different industries and I have found the Robert Walters survey to be an excellent indication in the commercial environment.Ensure that the job size, company size and extent of responsibility are on par with your job when making a comparison. Contact recruitment consultants who are specialists in your field and talk with them about your role. Indicate your key responsibilities (including revenue and number of staff you are responsible for) to get a feel for the market value of similar sized positions. An Operations Manager in one company can mean and hold differing responsibilities and salary to the same title in another company. Recognise the difference between the value of the role that you perform from your manager's perspective and your value as an individual from your perspective. When approaching a salary review, think of it from your manager's perspective.2. Find out internal budget constraints Many companies plan for salary increases months in advance and managers are given a % increase figure that they need to spread across their staff when considering salary increases. Conduct research to gain an understanding of what the average % salary increases are in your industry. If you approach your manager with this knowledge it may be possible to negotiate an ‘out of cycle’ pay increase if you are willing to wait a few months.3. Justify your request with evidenceHIghlight how well you get along with your team members, how you contribute to the positive, pro-active atmosphere.Your accomplishments in the role will be the main selling point when it comes to a positive result in a salary review. Make sure you prepare yourself well before approaching your manager by documenting your achievements in your role to date. You may have increased profits, saved money, saved time, improved relationships with customers or clients, streamlined processes, improved morale, generated positive feedback and appreciation, demonstrated your creativity and innovation in your role to the benefit of the organisation. These are your accomplishments. Write them down so they are clear in your head. You can talk about how you have contributed to the success of the company or department with tangible results. This will remind your manager of your value to t

| 02 Nov 2015 | 41 Jessica Steuart Fashion Styling Editor | 00:23:37 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Jessica Steuart is living her career dream in the fashion industry in London. She is the Fashion Merchandising Editor for the magazines of the world's largest luxury fashion e-commerce company. Jess was born in London, spent her early childhood in Singapore, completed her education and launched her career in Sydney before returning to London to pursue her career in the fashion industry. Listen to Jess’ story from her early days and how she would immerse herself in fashion magazines as a young girl, reading Cleo and Cosmopolitan magazines before progressing to Harpers Bazaar, Vogue and Russh magazines and then satisfied her passion for shoes by working part time during her high school days at Evelyn Miles and Midas in Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. She then interned at Madison and Russh magazines and assisted fashion stylists while she was at university (she graduated with a Bachelor of Communication in Information Management from the University of Technology Sydney) before landing a great job with local Australian designer, Natasha, starting at the bottom of the ladder. She worked her way up and was promoted to PR Manager, which involved travelling around Australia meeting fashion buyers and promoting the label before making a move and going agency side in fashion PR as Showroom Manager for The ARC Factory in Sydney. She thrived in this role where she led a small showroom team, worked with fashion editors, promoting next season’s products for The ARC Factory’s clients. Looking for a new challenge and wanting to pursue her career in London Jess took the plunge and moved across the world with just a dream. She found that she had to start from the bottom again and started assisting fashion editors at Harpers Bazaar in the UK. She also gained experience in online retail with a small luxury e-commerce company. She was very fortunate to hear of an opening at her dream company, a global high fashion online retailer, and she was fortunate enough to progress through a number of interviews and finally secured the role. Jess started as a junior online stylist and worked her way up to deputy online styling editor where further developed her leadership skills and most recently has moved into the editorial side as Acting Fashion Merchandising Editor for their magazines. Jess’ advice for those looking to get into the fashion industry is to take every opportunity that presents itself. Interning is the most valuable experience as it gives you a good understanding as to which aspect of the business is most suited to your skills and personality. To be successful you must network as much as possible within the industry and ‘be a sponge’, keep up to date with the trends and, if this is truly your passion, be sure to know what’s happening in the world of fashion. In such a creative industry you need to live and breathe it to be a success. Jess says her international background has helped her very much to understand global trends.Jess writes for her blog, This is Collective. She is fascinated about how others build their own businesses and inspired by them, she interviews and features successful entrepreneurs in all industries.

| 16 Nov 2015 | 44 HOW TO SETTLE INTO A NEW JOB | 00:09:36 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 44: At last it’s happened! You’ve persevered through all the ups and downs of your career crossroads and you’ve been successful in securing your ideal role!Congratulations! You’ve negotiated well and you’ve accepted an offer that’s a win-win for both sides. I’m thinking champagne celebrations and big, big smiles all around! (My clients know how excited I get for them when they reach this stage.)So now what? If you’ve got time, take a little break, relax, enjoy and recharge your batteries before starting the new role. Get all your paperwork in order, clear the clutter in your home environment, have the coffee catch-ups and lunches or dinners to celebrate and prepare yourself mentally for the exciting new challenges ahead!Most large organisations have on-boarding processes to assist you to transition smoothly into your new role. Each process can vary greatly from a quick tour and introduction to team members to a week long (or longer) on-boarding process for you to become familiarised with the systems, personnel and location. How the first 90 days go in this new role are crucial for your reputation and also your self-esteem.Give yourself a head start by starting the process yourself. Here are my suggestions for on-boarding success:1. Take the first steps to success in a new job begin before the first day. Once you’ve accepted the role, contact the hiring manager and your human resources contact. Let them know you are looking forward to getting on board and convey your enthusiasm for the new role.2. Connect with those you’ve met during the selection process on LinkedIn. 3. Create a 30/60/90 day plan with your new manager. 4. Identify the resources you need to do your job early on5. Look for ways to make a difference even in the early days. 6. Always show respect for the people and events that have come before you. 7. Check in with your manager every week or two to make sure you are on track. 8. Stay positive. The first couple of weeks will see you transitioning from excitement about the new role to the reality of the day-to-day routine and challenges. Displaying energy and enthusiasm for the role will benefit your reputation amongst your colleagues. A new role can be quite stressful, so give yourself time to settle in and know that no one is perfect. Give yourself time to understand the way things work and always be willing to ask questions and listen to the answers.I’d love to hear what worked for you during the first 90 days of your new role. There are so many variables – every comment will be helpful to everyone else on the cusp of accepting an offer.Visit www.janejacksoncoach.com for more career guidance.

| 30 Nov 2015 | 46 FACE YOUR FEARS - THE FEAR OF FAILURE.mp3 | 00:11:46 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 46: In the next FIVE podcasts we will tackle the five fears that may be holding you back from success. in this episode we talk about fear no. 1 - the Fear of Failure.So, you think you have a dream, or a goal, you’ve mulled over it and you feel that you want it. What have you done about it? If your answer is, “Not a lot so far,” let’s find out why.Maybe you have doubts or concerns. Maybe you are a bit worried or anxious about taking those first, or those next steps to achieve your goals. Are you procrastinating or hesitating to do certain things or are you simply not taking action to get what you dream for?You know, it all boils down to one thing – Fear. There is some thought, feeling, belief, or possible outcome that makes you uncomfortable and you have been avoiding thinking about the things that make you feel that way.Your fear or fears, can control your life if you let them and can keep you from reaching your full potential. They can stop you from creating that better life for yourself and your family.Rational fears that help keep you safe from harm such as fear of poisonous snakes or bushfires or violent situations are not the fears I mean here. The Fears I mean are those inside your head, the ones preventing you from creating the life you want to live.Before discussing the Fears that are holding you back, let’s make sure that what you want, that dream, your goal, (or even your B.H.A.G. – Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is what you REALLY want for yourself. If you want something because of someone else then maybe you’re not taking action because you don’t REALLY want it at all.Think about it. What do you want? Now, do you want it because your manager wants it? Or do your shareholders want it? Or your parents? Or your partner? Or your peers? Or your children? Or do you want it because it’s what ‘everyone is supposed to want for themselves?’ Specifically who is ‘Everyone’ anyway?What do YOU want for yourself? You are, after all, the most important person in your life. If you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be able to take care of anyone else the best way you could.If you have now decided that your dream, your goal is for YOU, let’s discuss what might be holding you back from achieving it.In my next few posts, I’m going to talk about The Five Fears.Today, let’s discuss Fear Number 1.Fear of FailureThis may seem obvious to you because it’s so common however it certainly will keep you from reaching your goals. The Fear of Failing will prevent you from taking Action. You won’t speak with your boss about that overdue raise or you won’t apply for that new job that sounds so perfect for you or offer to take on additional responsibility because you might fail. You tell yourself that it’s not a good time right now or when ‘something’ happens then it will be the right time.Think about this:THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE. ONLY FEEDBACKIf things don’t go the way you hope the first time, are you going to give up? No! Learn from it, reassess the situation, what could you have done better? What could you have done differently to achieve a different outcome?If things don’t go the way you hope the first time what would be the worst-case scenario? If that happens, decide how you will handle it. Once you have a plan for the worst possible thing that can happen, go for it! You are prepared. If you are well prepared, you will learn and when it is time, you will succeed.One must be a god

| 04 Dec 2015 | 47 FACE YOUR FEARS - THE FEAR OF REJECTION | 00:12:47 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 47: In part two of this five part series of podcasts tackling the top five fears that hold us back, we discuss the fear of rejection. Every one of us experiences rejection at some time in our lives. It may be when we’re turned down for a job we really want or rejected by a person with whom we want to have a relationship.The truth is that the only people who never experience rejection are those who never have any interaction with other people. This makes for a pretty reclusive and lonely existence. Is that what you want? If not, let’s do something about it!What is this Fear all about? Fear of rejection can be a by-product of low self-esteem. Do you lash out at others if you fear rejection may be forthcoming? Do you sabotage your relationships so you can be the one to reject the other person before they can reject you? Maybe to avoid being rejected at all, you simply withdraw from being socially interactive with others.The fear of being rejected creates a damaging pattern of behaviour in our lives. It can cause us to feel that we are not good enough for our desired outcome. Within relationships, it can cause us to become obsessive, clingy and jealous and can also destroy relationships that have barely begun by becoming too serious too soon which may drive others away. Rejection is Driven by EmotionIt’s important to remember how our thoughts make us feel. If we feel negative about ourselves, rejection can trigger off a number of other feelings. We may feel humiliated, lonely, pathetic, inadequate. The more we dwell on these feelings, the more pain we put ourselves through and the harder it becomes to try again for fear that the same thing will happen next time. How Do Others Handle Rejection Easily?A confident person realises that rejection is simply a part of the risk of living and that, in order to grow spiritually, we all have to take the occasional risk and step outside of our comfort zone. A confident person does not take rejection personally and may view it as a flaw on the other person’s behalf instead. In other words, they think it’s the other person’s loss. They don’t think of it as a failure on their part, they look upon it as feedback upon which to learn so they can ensure success next time.Tips to Overcome RejectionYou may fear rejection if you’ve become accustomed to always trying to please others. Be aware of when you’re feeling this way and learn to say ‘no’ to people when their demands or requests seem unreasonable to you. By saying ‘no’ occasionally, you’re respecting your own needs. This will boost your self-confidence to a level so that you will understand and respect occasions when people might say ‘no’ to you too not because of any lack on your part, but because of their own needs. Graciously accept any compliments you receive. Too often we brush off a compliment with, ‘Oh, it was nothing.’ Accept compliments gladly, simply say, ‘Thank you!’ and consider what the compliment says about you as a person. This will boost your self-esteem.Imagine a scene when you’d usually be faced with a fear of rejection and create a successful ending to the scenario where your wishes are granted and you get the outcome you are hoping for. By using this technique, you’ll start to feel more confident that the outcome you want is going to happen and that will become a replacement for the feelings of fear and failure you have trained yourself to expect.Constantly remind you

| 08 Dec 2015 | 48 FACE YOUR FEARS - THE FEAR OF SUCCESS | 00:12:21 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 48: In part three of this five part series, Jane discusses how the fear of success could be holding your back. This is a curious concept. Have you thought that what might be holding you back from achieving what you hope for is … the possibility, or even probability, of success? How ridiculous, you may be thinking, what would make me fear Success when Success is what I want? First of all, specifically what does success mean to you? More time freedom? More money? More recognition? A promotion? Once we get to the specifics of what success is to you, then we can consider what you will gain from achieving it and then, on the flip side, consider what you may LOSE by achieving the success you wish for. Let’s discuss some possible scenarios from the few examples above: 1. Time Freedom Time to do what? More time to study, or relax or exercise or be with family or friends, to travel, to sleep? That sounds fabulous doesn’t it? The positives are easy. What about the negatives? In order to gain more time freedom you will have to give up something that is taking up your time now. If you decide to work shorter hours then that may mean less income, if you decline that promotion that will give you more responsibility and status you may feel less fulfilled at work, if you give up a voluntary role you have held you may feel you will let down the group. 2. Money Money for what? More money to pay for all those material things you dream for or more money to pay the bills? Or perhaps you’d like more money so that you can provide for your family or extended family, or give to charity. How much will be enough? Earning more money sounds great, on the flip side … In order to gain more money you will have to either win the lottery, or, more likely, work harder or smarter. If you gain more money from working harder or longer then you will lose a certain amount of time freedom … 3. More Recognition Recognition that will give you what? Recognition could give you personal satisfaction, perhaps status and maybe more money in the long run. That’s sounding pretty good however … In order to gain recognition you will need to put time and effort into being the best you can be in your field of choice. How will your family feel about this? How would the level of recognition you gain affect your friendships? Are you willing to give up some of your time freedom to achieve something that will affect those around you either positively or not quite as positively? 4. A Promotion So many of us dream of getting that promotion which will mean so many things to each of us … more money, more recognition, more …. Again, what will you give up if you got that promotion? How would your partner feel if he/she did not achieve for himself/herself the level of success that you did? Would it upset the status quo? What do you consider to be Success?

| 14 Dec 2015 | 49 FACE YOUR FEARS - THE FEAR OF NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH | 00:08:10 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 49: The Fear of Not Being Good Enough. As we come to the end of 2015, many of us make New Year’s resolutions – to get fit, lose weight, get that new job, relax more, smile more, have fun again. How many of us, year after year, let those resolutions slip within weeks? Why is this? I wonder if the reason is connected to our self-esteem? Ask yourself, “Do I deserve to be trim, taut and terrific? Do I deserve that new job? Do I deserve to be relaxed, to be able to smile, to have fun?” If you are hesitating, examine your self-esteem. Be honest with yourself. Fear that is connected to your self-esteem can affect everything you do in life. You may settle for a job that you hate and doesn’t pay enough because you think that you aren’t clever enough or strong enough to handle more responsibility. You may remain in a relationship that makes you unhappy because you think that you don’t deserve to be treated in such a way that makes you feel good about yourself.You may avoid making the positive changes to improve your life. If you don’t believe you deserve better life circumstances, you aren’t going to be able to create them.Think about this: You were born with rights. You deserve to be the best you can be. You deserve to behave in such a way that will enable you to achieve all you can to command respect. You deserve to be as good as anyone that you admire. You can be who you want to be. Do you believe you deserve what you hope for? You have a choice. Choose to believe in yourself. Then nothing will hold you back from being good enough to achieve your goals.

| 17 Dec 2015 | 50 FACE YOUR FEARS - THE FEAR OF BEING ALONE | 00:08:10 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 50: The Fear of Being Alone. This fear is a huge one. This is the fear that keeps us in bad relationships, unsatisfactory work environments, the fear that keeps us from doing what we really want to do simply because we want to fit in with the group or maintain the status quo. Your ‘group’ may be a collection of old friends whom you used to enjoy spending time with and now find yourself pulling away from them; your close family members with whom you feel you ‘should’ agree and please because they are family; a workgroup with whom you have difficulty seeing eye-to-eye or just one person with whom you are in a relationship. If you take that first step to make a change, to assert your own needs and preferences, to reach for what you really want for yourself, you may alienate that person or that ‘group’ of people. You fear that you may end up Alone.Do your friends or family mean well but always seem to sabotage your attempts to make improvements in your life that will give you less time with them? Worse than that, maybe you stay in a bad or abusive relationship because you don't want to be alone. Maybe you think ‘better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’? Maybe you hang out with some people whom you know you really don't approve of their lifestyle, but they are the only friends you have. Or maybe you stay in your current work environment because you don’t think anyone else will hire you? So much is to do with your own self-esteem and the fear of being Alone.Of all the Five Fears that have been discussed, which one is the one that is holding YOU back?Once you have identified your fears, it's time to start diffusing them and get your thoughts flowing in a positive direction. The first thing to do is to gain clarity into specifically what is the REAL issue that is holding you back. Once you acknowledge the cause of what may create real or imagined fears, then you can begin to take steps to remove the cause and conquer those fears. You can start to live the life you deserve whether you believe you deserve it or not. Always remember that you owe it to yourself to be the best you can be. Make the most of your life – there is so much that you can do!Let me leave you today with this wonderful quote:“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be?” Marianne WilliamsonFor help with dealing with your fears, visit www.janejacksoncoach.com

| 20 Feb 2023 | Are You TOO OLD To Be Hired? | 00:14:20 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Are you too old to be hired? Do you ever wonder if you’re too old to land another job? Or that your age is a barrier to what you really want to do? Now, those of you who already know me will know I get on my high horse about ageism in the workplace and how I believe we are NEVER TOO OLD to reinvent our careers. Yes, that's right - we are NEVER TOO OLD to be the person we were born to be. In this episode I promised to give you the links to a number of interesting posts and resources and you'll find them at the bottom of these shownotes. Let me ask you, if you're over 30, over 40, over 50, over 60, over 70 are you too old to: Be heard? Be loved? Be appreciated? To contribute your years of experience and knowledge to benefit someone who's problems you can help to solve? To be considered as an individual rather than an age-bracket? Are you too old to learn something new? Or to try something different? And TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT?
Unfortunately, according to a 2021 report by the Australian Human Rights Commission, age discrimination remains a significant issue in the workplace, affecting both job seekers and employees. Here are some statistics on ageism in the workplace in Australia:
and this one surprised me: Despite being a protected attribute under Australian law, only 56% of workers are aware that age discrimination is illegal. So how can we overcome ageism in the workplace? In this episode I discuss in detail these strategies:
To overcome ageism it requires a collective effort from employers, employees, and society as a whole. I’d like to ask you: How are you helping to promote a culture of inclusivity and respect for all generations? What else can we do to create a more equitable and age-diverse workplace? Let’s keep the conversation going and I'd love you to send me a message on LinkedIn or share a post of you in action showing your energy and enthusiasm regardless of age and tag me so I know!

| 24 Aug 2023 | Adam Scougall - So You Want to Be an Interior Designer? | 00:35:04 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Today’s very special guest is Adam Scougall, corporate professional turned Interior Designer who now successfully combines two careers! In episode 251 of Your Career Podcast he shares his fascinating corporate, creative and entrepreneurial journey. Adam’s story is one that is a little out of the box. We hear a lot about interior designers aspiring for luxury clients and an office full of staff. But Adam couldn’t imagine anything worse. After 18 years of people, leadership in his corporate life, he ventured out in in 2018 to running his solo design biz full time. This lasted for 3.5 years before he returned to where he started. Corporate [with a buzzing design side hustle] After working with a broad range of clients, some great and some a nightmare, Adam became tired of having to accept jobs that could make ends meet, as opposed to fulfilling his creative juices. Covid didn’t help financially, nor an always ‘pending’ recession, and after those years, Adam realised he did not wish to pursue a ‘be all and end all’ approach to his design career. He wanted stability, steadier finances and the ability to only take on design work that fulfilled both his own and client vision. Adam now enjoys what we call a lifestyle business, balancing projects he only wants to take on whilst [now happily] holding down a full-time gig at his corporate firm of choice. He has also developed his own signature design implementation system that employs other designers to assist day to day, with Adam coming in only at key points in the project. Adam is about to launch his podcast telling all his experiences. Watch out for the launch on podcast platforms on 5th September 2023! “SO YOU WANT TO BE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?” His aim for the show is to teach you the thrills, reveal the spills and show you how you can create an Interior Design career that suits your lifestyle.

| 11 Nov 2023 | How to Change Career Later in Life | 00:13:27 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Changing career later in life has become a notable trend in Australia, as it has in many other parts of the world, due to a combination of factors. While each individual’s reasons may vary, several common trends and drivers contribute to this phenomenon. I was invited to discuss this on Sunrise on Channel 7 recently, as a career coach and career transition specialist, and enjoyed having the film crew turn up at my home to film the interview for the broadcast (watch the interview on my YouTube channel). The condensed interview is included in this podcast episode. Let’s understand the key drivers for this change in careers for older workers in Australia, and listen to the episode for details and inspiration if YOU are thinking of making a career change. Main reasons for making a change are: · A longer life expectancy · The evolving workforce · A desire for personal fulfillment · Financial security · Redundancy and Job Insecurity · New education and training opportunities · Age Discrimination protections · Work-Life balance · Retirement redefined (listen to my interview on the 'Retirement Success Podcast' with Dennis Heath) · Personal growth · Mentorship and experience
The increasing prevalence of career changes later in life in Australia reflects the shifting of priorities and recognition that one’s career journey can be dynamic and multifaceted. What are your thoughts? Please join the conversation and add your opinion and thoughts on this LinkedIn Post (which features my Sunrise on 7 interview) or on my YouTube channel.

| 10 Feb 2024 | How to Handle a Mid-Career Crisis | 00:20:24 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! 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? 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?

| 25 Aug 2024 | How to Get Over a Redundancy and Take Control of Your Career | 00:42:48 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Redundancy is a challenging experience that many professionals face at some point in their careers. With over 24 years supporting professionals in transition after a redundancy, I understand very well the roller coaster of emotions you will experience – especially if the redundancy was sudden and unexpected. And if you did have notice this might happen to your role, the toll it takes and stress it causes when waiting for the 'axe to fall' affects your confidence and mental health. It is so important to remember that redundancies occur often because of broader economic factors and necessary organisational changes. NOT DUE TO YOUR ABILITY as a professional. If it happens to YOU, it can hit hard. Having a coach to guide you through the experience and the rebuilding process helps to make your transition smoother and faster. So in this episode of YOUR CAREER PODCAST, I'm sharing ways that will help you to manage the aftermath of redundancy and get back in control of your life and career. From handling stress and finances to crafting a winning job search strategy and preparing for interviews, I have you covered. Grab a pen and paper and take notes as there's a lot to cover!

| 14 Nov 2024 | How to Deal With a Toxic Workplace and Office Bullying | 00:10:27 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 267 helps you to deal with a toxic work environment. Many of my clients say they are seeking a career change because of a Toxic Workplace. Have you experienced one? We know they exist, and sadly, many of us may be tolerating one right now, or have survived by escaping from one. In fact, the topic has been discussed so frequently that I’ve released a video post on my LinkedIn profile covering toxic workplaces and office bullies. If you’re stuck with an office bully or “white ant” - that sneaky, termite-like colleague who gnaws away at your sanity while maintaining a false façade of support – in this episode I’ll provide a few tips on how to navigate the situation without losing your self-respect. I was in a toxic environment in my career many years ago and, having only chosen to work in environments where I shared common values prior to that, this negative environment took me by surprise and I couldn’t believe how much it affected me. I remember dreading Mondays and going in to work I would feel tearful before I arrived in anticipation of the stresses I would encounter. By the end of the day I was exhausted and unhappy. I simply couldn’t understand why, as a natural collaborator, I was in such a competitive, aggressive and non-supportive environment. I hadn’t expected that the job spec would change so much when the incredible, warm and wonderfully supportive leader who hired me left the business (they must have seen the writing on the wall!), and a new leader took their place. That new leader meant that everything changed. Culture, expectations, and a highly competitive, fearful and ‘blame’ environment developed. My husband asked me why I didn’t just quit but I told him, “I’m not a quitter!” I was such a martyr! However I soon realised that I couldn’t change anything but my own reactions, and for my own wellbeing and mental health I had to get out of that environment. If you find yourself in a toxic environment, this episode covers some strategies to help you cope.

| 19 Apr 2020 | HOW TO DEVELOP RESILIENCE DURING COVID-19 | 01:00:24 | |
Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! How to Develop Resilience During Covid-19. I’m based in Sydney and in Australia, people began living under strict new lockdown rules on Monday 23rd March as coronavirus cases, at that point topped 1,600. As of today, 19th April, there are now over 6,500 cases in Australia and globally Covid-19 has infected 2.3 million people. Due to Coronavirus, a record high 3.92 million (27.4%) of Australians were either unemployed or under-employed and looking for more work in the second half of March 2020. This is far more Australians looking for work than was the case during the last recession in 1990/91. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way the world of work functions, the saying “this too will pass”, has been used many times by so many people recently that I can’t wait until this does pass. I believe that when we are over this, it will be a changed world and what I hope is that we will all become more mindful of our actions and be kinder to each other and to the planet.
