Welcome to the Career Stories Podcast - a place where you can learn more about real life career stories and careers advice from the field.
I'm Penny Strutton your host. A qualified coach, certified business psychologist and organisational development consultant who works with organisations across the private, public and voluntary sector.
When choosing a career or switching career, building your knowledge of other careers available is one of the first steps in starting your development journey. It is the interesting routes, choices, opportunities and challenges that I’m looking to explore, to showcase the different avenues we take to achieve the final outcome, or career status.
This podcast aims to inspire you through deep, real life insight into an array of different jobs, to help invigorate and direct your career journey. There is no perfect route, and that by building on strengths, personality, skills and opportunities that you too can achieve growth in a career that is more suited to you.
