  • Always informative

    And interesting and informative podcast. Mark is obviously very knowledgable in his field and the tips and advice given in this podcast are practical and usable.

    I have shared the podcast with a few friends who were facing specific struggles at work and they all found it helpful and utilised what they learned to have productive conversations and make informed decisions.

    Worth a listen.

  • Perfect podcast for mid career professionals

    This is a thoughtful podcast that consistently delivers “A-ha” moments about work, career and job hunting. Everything related to job hunting and office life is so stressful. This offers a level of calm.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

121. Making Mess Come Alive: A Fresh Way to Find Focus Mid-Career
Q: What do you mean by gravitational center and how does it relate to a client's career?
It's the overlap of the client's professional story, their passions, and their personality, which reveals a central organizing principle or pattern that informs decisions and messaging.
123: How to Know When It’s Time to Rethink Your Career
Q: What is one small next step someone could take today to begin unstucking?
Start with a simple list of what you love about your job or places you want to visit, then spend 10 minutes of stillness to listen to thoughts without judgment, and act on the insights that emerge.
123: How to Know When It’s Time to Rethink Your Career
Q: What are the common signs someone is secretly stuck even if life looks fine on the surface?
Signs include persistent second-guessing, a sense that achievements no longer feel meaningful, a push-pull daily struggle, and an internal tension that doesn't align with outward success, often hiding behind a composed exterior.
123: How to Know When It’s Time to Rethink Your Career
Q: What sparked this focus for you?
Mairead describes her own shift from a high-powered corporate role toward coaching, recognizing an ongoing inner misalignment and eventually choosing a path that felt more meaningful, especially after redundancy during maternity and the pandemic.
129. Turning Setbacks into New Beginnings
Q: What inspired you to write this book now, and what do you hope readers will take away from it?
The book chronicles my four layoffs and distills coping skills and a practical framework—the seven stages of grief—so others can navigate the emotional rollercoaster, reframe setbacks as openings, and emerge with renewed purpose and improved preparedness for future opportunities.
