In episode 258 of YOUR CAREER Podcast I speak with Geoff Martin who is an inspirational executive HR Leader,  Executive and Career Transition Coach who can positively turn any downside, whether business, or personal, into blue sky and value.

In this podcast interview we discuss how encephalitis; brain surgery  and Geoff’s near-death experience has strongly influenced how he now approaches his life and work. 

Geoff’s overseas experience and love of all things Japanese (he is fluent in the language) has enabled him to create a career that truly is his Ikigai (his reason for being).

Geoff’s experiences range from HR Director of an ASX listed human services company, and senior HR roles in the insurance and banking industries. 

He has led national HR teams supporting client groups of over 2000 employees. 

He’s worked with leaders including Board Chairmans, Board Remuneration & Selection Committees, CEOs and C-Suite executives.

Geoff works with his clients to take a holistic approach in how each role aligns to important lifestyle, family, values, and wellbeing goals. 

This is Geoff’s ‘Professional Purpose’ that has developed from his lived experience of surviving his near-death illness and his subsequent career transformation not only in productivity and quality, but importantly in happiness, wellbeing and whole-of-life.

HOW TO NAVIGATE A MID-CAREER CRISIS

Are you facing a mid-career crisis? Don’t PANIC! The good news is that there is a FORMULA for career success! In episode 257 of Your Career Podcast we focus on this formula.

Firstly, are you STUCK IN A RUT?
Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Like you’re not making any progress, or you’re not enjoying your work anymore? You are not alone. Many mid-career professionals face a career crisis at some point in their lives.

I frequently come across this CAREER SCENARIO:

You’ve jumped from job-to-job, feeling dissatisfied, always looking for the elusive perfect role. Or you’ve been working in the same company for over 10 years, doing the same kind of work, day in and day out.

You are good at what you do, but you feel frustrated, bored and unfulfilled. And you also feel unappreciated and that affects your self-confidence and job satisfaction. You want to do something more meaningful and challenging, something that aligns with your passion and purpose.  

And of course you need to earn a living too.  But you realise it’s not all about the money, even though your priority is to ensure that you can pay your bills.  But you don’t know what you’re passionate about, let alone the ‘purpose’ that you’re supposed to find. 

There are so many options and possibilities, and you don’t know which one is right for you. You're scared you may make a wrong move, or risk your financial stability.  Perhaps you have people who depend on you and your income too.

You feel trapped in a career that no longer suits you, but how can you make a break for it without risking everything?  And another month goes by, then another and a year later you realise you’re still in the same place, continuing around on that proverbial hamster wheel.

And then redundancy looms … oh no!  You feel anxious and pray that your role won’t be affected.  Then a call from HR for a meeting and your heart sinks.  What you had hoped would never happen, is happening.

Don’t struggle on your own. Invest in your career success with one-on-one bespoke career coaching . I’ve over 70+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google reviews from my happy clients.

When considering your own career journey, it's inspiring to learn from those who have made successful career transitions and reinvented their career.  In today's episode we are in conversation with Head of Operations and Human Resources at TryPOD Australia and Enigma HR, Trevor Weeding.

In this episode we discuss the challenges candidates experience during job interviews, discuss the worst job interview experiences and also how a badly delivered redundancy notification can affect an employee's emotional wellbeing and mental health.

A little background on Trevor: After a successful 35 year career in the media industry, Trevor “reinvented” himself in 2014 and embarked on a new career path, based in Sydney’s southern suburbs, focussing on connecting local business and their community. 

He spent 10 years as a Board member at ESBEC, Eastern Suburbs Business Enterprise Centre, supporting SME’s with training and skills support. 

Trevor has also been on the boards of community radio 2NBC - FM and The Morris Children’s Fund and is still a keen supporter of St George Medical Research Foundation.

After 3 years in the recruitment and HR industry, Trevor transitioned into entrepreneurship and founded Development Pathways in early 2020, where his passion for assisting small business became his business.   

This led to him being chosen for his new role at Trypod Australia and Enigma HR.

The Law of Reciprocity is a mantra for Trevor and he is a BNI member and member of three local business chambers.
