Javed  and I talk about the importance of taking a proactive approach when it comes to making changes within your career. He encourages regular reflection on what you are looking for within your career and working life as it stands at the moment? And to think through what is important to you? Are you clear on the motivation and purpose behind it? Do you understand and are you prioritising your needs and non-negotiables. We chat job-searching and what to do if your receive a rejection. We discuss leaving a job without another one to go to. We also cover what line-mangers can do to retain staff, like taking responsibility for the people side of their job, and understanding that employees need both their professional and emotional needs met.
