HIGHER! Career Podcast
61 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★ - 5 ratingsWelcome to the HIGHER! Career Podcast everyone. A show full of wicked stories from the job market and brilliant guest experts showing us how to succeed in it. Because we've all been there haven't we? It's time to get unstuck and make our dream careers happen. Let's go get it! -- With Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow
This show is all about exploring ways to navigate one's career with ease and how the seemingly secret language of the job market is not one we have to each learn by ourselves through painstaking experience. Whether you are concerned about recruitment and finding a job, interviewing like a champion or getting that promotion in your current job, we are sure that we have an episode or two in our collection that can help you out.
Every episode is driven by industry experts and business leaders from a wide range of fields. Entrepreneurship, corporate and the private sector, marketing and creative agencies, the World Wide Fund For Nature, media, you name it.
Not only do you get to know these industries better in case you want to start your career in them, or do a career transition/change towards them. You also get to learn from these experts how they have navigated their own careers and became successful. Our show is less about philosophy than it is about real-world, practical ways in which you can have that dream career for yourself. There are no one-size fits all solutions, we don't believe in the kind of platitudes you will find on social media. Start your own unique engine, find your power and values and enable them to bring them to work with you and forge the dream career for yourself.
This means overcoming the 'my manager hates me' trap. This means being brave, vocal and present, even if you don't feel like or your energy profile is rather introverted than extroverted. This means learning how to say no in your job. This means leading teams and realising that you will only ever be as good as the people you manage and develop. This means gaining the presentation skills you need. This means learning when to leave a job, and how to leave a job. And then: how to either get a new job or start your own business. This means mastering social media and setting up your LinkedIn profile in a way that serves your entire career.
Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow created this show with two goals in mind. On the surface level, they have come to realise that all of us go through the same tough school of language learning. The language they speak of is the language of the job market and career development. It's a tough school, and it takes years to figure out how to be fluent in it. They endeavour to shorten this time period for you out there, make it easier for you to have a job, career or calling that you like and love. Which leads us to the second goal:
Nikki and Tom want you to step up as leaders, and they want you to do it now. You see, they believe in careers as part of life, not just a 9-5 that you have to do. They believe in careers that can have a positive impact on the world. They believe in everyone finding their values, what they believe in, feel passionate about, and are willing to fight for. More than ever before, ordinary folk like us have the power to make real change happen. And not just in our personal lives. Showing up at work as a vocal advocate for one's values bears the potential to change companies from within. And in turn have companies invest their substantial resources to become better corporate citizens and make the world a better place. Nikki and Tom frequently talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, bring as many diverse guests as possible, and show their audience how careers in environmental sustainability can be incredibly exciting.
Why listen to Nikki and Tom? Because they have changed their own careers more frequently than you can count to do just what they are advocating for on this show: do not feel trapped in your job. Our values, motivations and reasons to get up in the morning change over time. And retaining the flexibility of mind, heart, CV (how to write a CV), motivation letter and skillset to brave these exciting changes effortlessly.
So have a listen, have a laugh, learn a little and let's go get it!
Nikki and Tom

Ep 48 - "How to Become a Rockstar with Neuroplasticity" with Veronique Bogliolo
December 13, 2022 07:30 - 33 minutes - 31 MBNeuroplasticity maketh the rockstar. With today's guest, my friend and overall fabulous person Veronique Bogliolo of Bogliolo Coaching & Consulting, we talk about all the things. See, Veronique is a coach. A leadership coach. A teams coach. A coach that believes in science-based approaches and makes things happen for her clients. And delightfully, Veronique does not believe that coaching is something for the elite few. Her view, whether we talk about a professional coach you pay for or a ...
Ep 47 - "How to Research that New Dream Job - Part 2" with Steven Rothberg
November 29, 2022 07:30 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MBThe saga continues! In our last episode, we had the stunning Steven Rothberg, Chief Visionary Officer at College Recruiter on the show with us. Now, Steven and Tom got to chatting and (un)fortunately chatted to such an extent that a two part special was necessary. Part 1 focused on the work that comes before the actual deed of setting your search filters to "dream job". Part 1 is about you, your values, skills, interests and desired compensation. Today, we will get into the nitty gritty o...
Ep 46 - "How to Research that New Dream Job - Part 1" with Steven Rothberg
November 15, 2022 07:30 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBResearch? That sounds dull... We say: not so fast gentlewomen and gentlemen (and everybody in between), not so fast. Needing a new job is a daunting prospect. Whether you find yourself made redundant at your current employer, are an independent that needs a break from the entrepreneurial hustle, or simply can no longer stand your current one and it is time.to.go. With few and lucky exceptions, almost all of us have found ourselves at this junction in life. And for those of you who have be...
Ep 45 - "How to Communicate with Confidence - Part 2" with Jayne Constantinis
September 20, 2022 06:00 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBA negotiation starts with how you walk into a room (even a virtual one) and it ends with how you exit it. A negotiation, say about salary, pay grade, perks and compensation, is not a moment of healthy and functioning society. It is complex, personal and not, as the person at the opposite side of the table represents the interests of an inanimate thing, an organisation. It is a thing of strategy, and it is a thing of skill. Most critically, it is a thing of perception, critically perception...
Ep 44 - "How to Communicate with Confidence - Part 1" with Jayne Constantinis
September 06, 2022 06:51 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBLearn how to negotiate and do it now. For we find ourselves in negotiations more often than we think. There is only one tiny problem: to negotiate, we must communicate. And we must do so confidently. Have you ever asked anyone for anything and then said “if that’s alright with you”? Exactly. We are trained from a young age, to the betterment of society truly, not to force our will upon others. So we do indeed ask, instead of tell. The hallmarks of a healthy and functioning society. A nego...

With us on the show today is the incredible (and most funny) Barb Garrison from Internal Groove: career coach, speaker, author and facilitator helping burned out professionals create relief & freedom. We brought Barb on because we wanted to explore the concepts and fee...
Ep 42 - June Special "PRIDE"
June 08, 2022 16:31 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBLet’s talk about it! It is June everybody, and with Pride we march. This is the time of the year when a specific chapter of the minority representation book receives heightened (and deservedly so) attention: The LGBTQ+ community. There is an infinite amount of wonderful content about the history and culture of this community, its persistent challenges despite all of us being people and sexuality truly not being the thing that makes a person interesting, as well as ways to be an inclusive m...

February 22, 2022 07:30 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBWhat if career failure wasn't a failure at all, but could be turned into success? We are sure that almost everyone has been at this point in their lives where the world seems to have stopped: demotion, made redundant, start-up collapsing, an application to the dream job declined. It sucks, it feels like the end. But as with so many things in life, it is all a matter of perspective, with what kind of eyes you look at the problem at hand.

Career Podcast, we focus our energies on changing our perception of the concept of failure. Rather than considering it something terrible that happens to us, our jobs and our careers, a stopping point, we want to consider it as a stepping off point. Something that is a natural part of life, something that allows us to shift gears, learn, start over, realise our dreams. Kicking ...
