Mentors to Executives Worldwide

We continue our discussion with John Tarnoff and guest host, Jamie Wadley, this week looking at how to plan a career transition later in your working life. There is also talk about whether this transition/change needs to be dramatic, in the sense of a completely new path, or whether it can be a refinement of one part of the career you have had to this point.

This week we begin a 3 part discussion with John Tarnoff about career transitioning. Kim is joined by former guest, Jamie Wadley, as a “case study”, given that he has transitioned careers regularly and thrives with each new focus.

John Tarnoff is an executive and career transition coach, speaker, and author who helps mid-career professionals land better jobs and build more meaningful and sustainable careers.

John is a TEDx speaker and the author of the best-selling Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50. His four LinkedIn Learning courses have reached over 200,000 learners and been tran...

In the final part of our discussion, Dr Terry Lyles and Steven Bowen look at ways to use their book rather than have it on the shelf as well as sharing stories to show the meaning of being “invaluable”.

This week we begin to explore “Invaluable” and what that means for you. Drawing from a wealth of experience across many varied industries, we hear how the concepts in the book can be implemented in our own work lives as well as recognising what we can achieve by knowing our self worth.

This week we have an introduction to our guests, Terry Lyles and Steven Bowen, who will, over the next two weeks, talk about being “Invaluable” which is the title of their recently released book.

In this session, they talk about what the word actually means and how it will become important for your transformation and career journey.

As we continue to wait for approval to air the original recordings of our discussion with a recent guest, Fulyana and Kim have both provided some reflection on the conversation.

This time it centres on how physical safety concerns may manifest in other behaviours that you need to manage as well as communication generally within a team. There are also some insights to why looking for blame is not the best way to manage a cohesive team and why this particular guest would never consider moving to a senior management role.

For the first time since we began weekly podcasts in 2015, broadcasting a guest’s interview has been delayed whilst the employing organisation reviews the content for approval. We respect their right to do this and will wait for their decision.

In the meantime, we felt that the content of the discussion was worthy of sharing with our listeners in a generic way. In this first part, Kim covers the early influences on our guest that led to a focus of multi-lingual service provision and how communication within a work team might have extra challenges when some or al...

This week we meet Marianna Georgiadis, Director of an Early Childhood Education Centre. She daily faces the challenges of managing a multi-lingual, multi-cultural team of specialised educators in an environment that can be both physically challenging and professionally rewarding.

In the first of a three part discussion we hear about her own early learning experiences and how that shaped her interest and passion (longer term) for a career that has spanned 30+ years….so far!

In the concluding part to our discussion with Rico Nasol, we explore how to prepare a “leadership plan” for yourself and the value of internal peer support networks in organisations.

Rico also outlines his 90 program and the most important questions you can ask yourself to move towards your career goals.

In the second part of our discussion, Rico outlines his 3Cs approach to leadership as well as sharing some insight to leading a team of creatives in this enhanced technology age.
