You might want to stay around the end when we will have the key takeaways for you from this episode. So, let’s get started.

 

Hi Sarah, welcome back to the podcast. 

 

 

Listeners may remember that you and I did an episode in July last year, which was a preview of our Supercharge Your Career Event, which we did around that time.

So, I’m looking forward to our conversation today. 

 

To get us started could you say a little bit about yourself and what you’ve been up to since we last spoke on the podcast.

 

 

So, today we are going to be talking about career development.

And, before we dive into that, it’s worthwhile us defining what we mean when we say career development.

 

These are the broad areas we will cover:

-       What is career development?

-       Why is career development important?

-       What has influenced your own thinking on career development? 

-       Who is career development for?

-       When is the best time for career development?

-       How do I support the career development of others?

 

So, that’s it! We’ve come to the end of another episode.
