Your Career Journey

About Your Career Journey

Career paths are rarely linear. There are changes in direction, unexpected opportunities, difficult decisions, setbacks and moments when we're not quite sure what comes next. That's what Your Career Journey is about. I'm Emma Graham, a career coach with a background in recruitment, and in each episode I sit down with leaders, marketers, creatives and experienced professionals to talk about the reality behind their careers. Not just where they've ended up, but how they got there. We talk about the decisions they've made, the opportunities they've taken, the things that haven't worked out and what they've learnt along the way. You'll hear honest conversations about career change, leadership, confidence, adaptability, networking, navigating uncertainty and staying relevant as the world of work changes. Because I don't believe there's one right way to build a successful career. But I do think there's a lot we can learn from understanding how other people have approached theirs. My hope is that each conversation gives you something useful to take away and apply to your own career—whether you're thinking about your next move, looking to grow where you are, or simply wanting to be more intentional about what comes next. Welcome to Your Career Journey.

Inside a recent episode

Communication Beyond Words: Language, Culture & Leadership

Published 12 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So when I was studying linguistics in graduate school, I especially focused on social linguistics and linguistic anthropology, which is kind of looking at how language evolved aside that culture's history and everything that went on with the people who lived using that language. And so it was very interesting for me to notice, oh, some words exist in some languages and Whereas they don't exist in other languages because there's no need for them to have that word. And so I think it's very difficult for me to teach this concept to people who are learning a second language at an older age, because they think I'm just saying everything I want. […]
