The Skills That Pay the Bills - Eileen Willett

I sat down with Eileen Willett, co-founder of Cucumber Clothing (cucumberclothing.com)-  to talk about some of the transferable skills she has developed and used over the years. She gives us a sneak peak into her methodical approach to tackling development goals and demonstrates how far she has come by just BEING ON the podcast. She was a pleasure to have as a guest and I am sure that, like me, you will learn a ton from this episode. 

The Skills That Pay the Bills - Lucy Jones

I really enjoyed catching up with Lucy Jones who is a Senior HR Exec who has worked across a variety of industries in various HR roles. Lucy shares her thoughts and ideas around using your transferable skills to grow in your current role, change roles  and how you can recognise when it is time to take on a new challenge. I learned so much about the HR profession and picked up some fabulous tips on how to think a bit differently about how you can develop more transferable skills.

I absolutely loved getting a chance to speak to Olivia about being her Authentic self in the Renewable Energy space. She talks about the incredibly intentional way she has decided to approach her career, her appearance and her life. This was an episode that really challenged a lot of my personal thinking and I hope it will help you take a step back and think about your personal brand and whether you are letting your career happen to you or whether you are proactively moving it (and yourself) to where you want to be.
