18. Bonus - The voice behind the microphone

Hi team. We’re taking a little departure from the normal format of the show today, as a friend recently pointed out to me that I’d never really introduced myself as part of this show and that it might be a good idea to record a brief episode about my own career experiences and motivations as part of the podcast series. Normal service will be resumed next week, don’t worry! I posted on Instagram a couple of weeks ago that I am still adjusting to putting myself out there as part of the process of building this podcast - I hate having my photo taken and I hate talking about myself, which means I adore listening to the stories of others, but it’s something I really need to get over, and I've got to get out there a little more.

So, on that note, here's a flavour of

- Who I am and what I do

- The trajectory my career has taken, including having strong goals early in life, and re-setting my career goals recently

- The pressures of being a vet and recognition of compassion fatigue in the caring professions

- Learning to manage a portfolio career, including running my own business, freelancing and entering the corporate world

- Planning for the future

- The motivations behind starting this podcast

Enjoy folks, and feel free to drop me an email if you have any comments, suggestions or other feedback. We're at [email protected]
