I love the idea that Emma speaks about how a love for Latin and language helped her... understand 'people'. And that has helped her across her career as a leader. One can succeed in so many different ways. And finding work that you love really allows you to operate from a place of strength. And that is so wonderful. So many of us, may not have 'master-plans'. Particularly 'master-plans' that are strategic. In fact the future is changing so fast, that having a master-plan will become less and less relevant. What will be relevant? Excellence and learning. Excellence unlocks new opportunities. And its hard to have excellence unless we can find ways to enjoy what we do. Hence, the start... discovering what really drives you. And then giving it your all.

“Worry less about having a strategy for your career and worry a lot about loving the job you are in and being the best at it... that's how you unlock opportunity” Emma Walmsley’s career advice is particularly relevant in today’s fast-changing job landscape, where new roles are emerging, and traditional career paths are evolving. It encourages professionals to focus on what they can control — their performance and passion for their work — rather than stressing over a detailed career strategy. This approach not only enhances job satisfaction but also positions individuals to seize opportunities that align with their skills and passions as they arise. #careerpath #careerstrategy #inspiration

"Worry less about having a strategy for your career and worry a lot about loving the job you are in and being the best at it....that's how you unlock opportunity" - Ryan Roslansky Every job I've had since leaving school, I've tried my hardest to be the best I can at. Even the jobs I didn't like but I had to do to simply pay the bills. Since leaving my last full-time job in professional hair care back in 2015, I've had the pleasure of appearing on TV and films, providing voiceovers on adverts and appearing on podcasts, presenting for a variety of companies and helping people discover work they actually enjoy. Every job I take now (I still act and present as well as career coach), I absolutely love. Every job gives me the freedom I need, utilises my skills and knowledge and I have a passion for. Imagine doing work that actually brings you happiness, fulfilment and purpose. Well, fortunately for you, you don't have to imagine. Instead, you could reach out to me and schedule a completely free coaching session followed by a simple exercise to do in your own time. Will you discover your ideal career in just 1 coaching session? No. Absolutely not. What you WILL discover, however, is a much clearer picture of what YOU need in a career to be happy. What motivates you. What skills you enjoy using and, with this knowledge, you can then make a better informed decision as to wether coaching is something you'd like to have more of. People often misbelieve that if they have career coaching they MUST change their career. NOT TRUE! While some clients do shift to a different career, not all do. Some simply make adjustments to their existing career to make space for what's missing. Others stay in the same field but work freelance. Others realise they love the job but the company no longer aligns with their values so they move companies. Others decide to stay exactly as they are. Everyone is different and that's fine. The early stages of career coaching are simply EXPLORING. There's no commitment. You don't ask someone on a date believing that, because you've asked them on a date, you MUST get married. Coaching is exactly the same. You're just EXPLORING your options. So, if you've been wondering if there's something else you could be doing other than your current career, reach out and we can explore this together. What happens if nothing changes? #careers #LinkedIn #lovewhatyoudo #careerchange #careercoaching #absolutioncoaching #followme #reachout

Wonderful video on career path and development that would recommend watching! Key nugget is don't obsess about your career path or where you you think you should end up; instead obsess about doing the best job with thrusting all of YOU into the role/job you have now and it's that complete lean-in which will unlock what is next for you in your career! Have a think and watch below!

Interesting career lessons from Dave Ricks, Eli Lilly and Company Lilly and Company CEO Hardwired capabilities (aka. soft skills) are more important than industry knowledge and experience. Ricks is an example of a non scientist excelling in a scientific company based on some great qualities: bias for speed and sense of urgency, managerial courage, ability to work with people.
