Future Proof Me – Why Career 'Progression' Doesn't Always…
Ever felt a lot of self-imposed pressure to keep on moving up the career ladder?
That's the key topic of this week's Future Proof Me episode.
These mini episodes are all about sharing a 'nugget' of an idea, a piece of advice or a thought provoking insight to help us all navigate our way ahead in these uncertain and unusual times.
This week we revisit a conversation we had a year ago with well known Australian media entrepreneur, Mia Freedman. One of our favourite parts of our conversation with her was some great advice she shared on how to think about your next career move.
With COVID-19, we're hearing from many of you who have lost their roles or are fearful of losing their jobs, and whilst this advice from Mia was recorded before, we think you'll agree that what Mia has to say is particularly useful in this new context.
So if you're curious about what connection 'ladders' and 'lattices' have in the context of your career; or what the heck 'flearning' means…. Listen on. We promise you'll be the wiser for it.
Enjoy this Future Proof Me episode with Mia Freedman. . .
Mia Freedman – Is the Real Deal
We don't think we've ever had a guest who is prepared to be as open and honest about her life and career as Mia Freedman is. Whether it's in our conversation for this episode, or her Insta posts or in the 3 books she's written, Mia is determined to show her life, warts and all, because she really cares about shattering the 'women should look and be perfect' myth. She's all about making women feel better about themselves.
Mia is a household name in Australia. She's the co founder and creative director of MamaMia, one of the largest female-focussed digital media businesses in the world. Mia became the world's youngest editor of Cosmopolitan magazine at just 24 years of age.
