In this episode I chat with Steph Clarke, where she shares insights from the last decade and predictions for the next.
Steph is a facilitator, cat lady book worm, and we delve deep into book recommendations, hard hitting facilitation and career pivots.
Key episode highlights include:
When facilitating, it’s not about an agenda, it’s about reading the energy in the room.
Regret the things you do, not the things you don’t.
Key achievements from the last decade:
The pivot - changing careers in 2009 from accountant to L&D professional and spending the last decade filling up her toolkit of experiences, horror stories and lessons.
The move - moving from the UK to Australia in 2014.
Key lessons from the past decade:
Be prepared - most of the worst facilitation experiences have been due to not doing enough prep
Be open - you never know what experiences are out there
Be intentional - have a direction and keep moving towards it, but don't worry about planning every step.
What Steph predicts the next decade will hold:
A more human humanity - we're at the edge of a change in what work looks like and making it all more human.
Personal goals for the next decade:
Redefine what ‘good' looks like for work.
Build professional profile.
Travel more, have more experiences, try new things, finally see Radiohead live, keep moving in the right direction
Steph’s final message:
Do you.
