The second is all for young people, with information, advice and experiences on the early stages of careers and things that will help them to succeed.Although this a very important and serious subject we do not take ourselves too seriously.

Sometimes it is just time to go, and that is cool but how do you do it in the right way?
In this episode we discuss how to leave a job with style and grace. Leaving a job in the right way will help you to maintain relationships with past colleagues and keep your network alive.
Everyone wants to make the right impression at work.
In this episode we discuss our top tips for young people and those early in their careers to get noticed at work.
Feedback, reviews and appraisals - the marmite of the workplace.
How often should it be done?
What format should it take?
Why does it matter anyway?
In the first half we discuss our version of best practice for managers of young people and how feedback, reviews and appraisals can not only enhance performance but how manger's can enjoy them too.
In the second half we talk about how feedback can shape your career but also how to decide what feedback is worth listening to and what is not.
LinkedIn has evolved over the last 12 months - if you are launching your career, looking to get ahead or generate leads it is the place to be! Although they still lurk, it is no longer the home of the pushy sales person.
In this podcast we are joined by the delightfully fun LinkedIn expert, Gemma Connell from Make a Different Noise.
In this episode we talk about how organisations get noticed and generate business from LinkedIn as well as how young people and those looking for work can be seen and build relationships with the organisations they want to work for.
This really is not an episode to miss!
Starting a new job can be daunting but if it is your first job or early in your career it can be really scary.
In this episode we discuss things that organisations can do to get it right and why it matters.
In the second half we discuss how candidates can prepare themselves for their important first few days in a new job.
In this podcast we speak to interview coach, careers advisor, hypnotherapist and author, CHRIS DELANEY!
Interviews are a two way process, both the interviewer and the interviewee have influence over each other and not always in the most obvious ways.
Together we explore how unconscious bias impacts on interviews, what employers should be looking for when recruiting school leavers and how to give them the best start in their new role.
In the second half we discuss how candidates can smash that interview, how volunteering can be the secret to your success and how to overcome your fears.
We even round things off with some hypnotherapy - which we can confirm, really did work!!
On this episode we discuss why feedback is such an important part of the interview process for young people and those starting out in their careers.
In the first half we discuss why it is important for organisations to feedback to young people after interview, how to deliver it and how that reflects on organisations.
In the second half we discuss how to receive and use feedback as a candidate. Who's opinion matters and what to do when you don't like what you are hearing.
In this episode we are joined by Equality and Diversity Champion Leanne Honey to discuss how employers and organisations can be more inclusive and supportive to the LGBTQ+ community.
We go on to discuss the support available for young people in the workplace with LGBTQ+ inclusions, where young people and parents can go for support and how to be an ally.
Remember - Pride is not just for June, be proud all year round.
