JobsWorth

• JobsWorth - Alexandra Allan

  On JobsWorth this week I’m speaking with Essex based Nutritional Therapist, Alexandra Allan. Alex describes herself as having been lucky enough to have had two careers. The first was a 20 year run in publishing…a world she’d wanted to work in from a young age and one where she achieved a great level of success.  The second began when Alex turned 40, inspired in part by a book she picked up in an airport that changed her life on a flight home from New York. During our conversation we explore the events that led Alex to change her relationship with work, why she turned her back on a job and an industry where she was at the top of her game,  what it actually takes to move from one career to another and how she overcame imposter syndrome along the way. We discuss Alex’s experience of supporting her clients with perimenopause and menopause, the impact it can have on women beyond hot flushes and highlight the work that still needs to be done to ensure organisations are providing the support to their employees that is so desperately needed. I also ask Alex some listeners questions on nutrition, health and wellbeing and was blown away by just how knowledgeable she is. There is some seriously useful stuff in here. This is a super special episode. Please enjoy…Alexandra Allan. #jobsworth #podcast #career #worklife #storiesthatinspirechangeKeywordsNutritional Therapy, Career Change, Women's Health, Perimenopause, Publishing, Life Transitions, Personal Growth, Health and Wellness, PCOS, Gut Health, menopause, workplace support, nutrition, supplements, fasting, career change, health, wellness, women's health, NHSWebsite - https://www.alexallannutrition.co.uk/contactInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexallannutrition/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-allan-nutrition/The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.com Watch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcast Follow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=en Follow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/ Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollective Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournal Learn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]

• JobsWorth Express - Mark Green

  In the first of our brand spanking new JobsWorth Express episodes I jump on a call with Mark Green, CEO and Founder of Change Rebellion. Mark has been working in the change and transformation space for almost two decades and in 2023 he decided to forgo the security (perceived security at least) of a permanent job to set up his very own business. We explore the events that led to him making that decision, the lessons he's learnt along the way, the reality of building something from scratch on your lonesome and the advice he'd share with anyone looking to do the same thing.Please enjoy...Mark Green. LinksWebsite - https://changerebellion.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-green-3368744/The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.com Watch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcast Follow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=en Follow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/ Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollective Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournal Learn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]

• JobsWorth - Ralph Tait

  This week I'm sitting down with Ralph Tait, founder and owner of The Hatch in Leigh on Sea. The Hatch has become a bit of a haven for me over the past couple of years. You'll regularly find me there a couple of times a week hunched over my laptop while knocking back some of their incredible coffee. As a result, I've got to know Ralph a little better and it was a complete no brainer to ask him if he'd be happy to come onto the show. We chat about how The Hatch came to be, how Ralph juggles running a coffee shop while also working in consulting, and the lessons both worlds have taught him along the way. We also touch on what it’s like to put your own stamp on a space that means so much to so many...thanks in large part to the work of his mum, Lynn, and the legacy she built in the local community. This was an absolute pleasure. Ralph is a great communicator and, while we may have to fact check some of the dates **adds to to-do list** his knowledge of The Old Foundry, where The Hatch is located, as well as the surrounding area is top draw (Dan Snow's History Hit eat your heart out). Enjoy... Ralph Tait. P.S. A huge thank you to Ralph for not only being a great guest but also for letting us use his incredible space to record some future episodes. KeywordsThe Hatch, Ralph Tait, community hub, entrepreneurship, family legacy, coffee shop, business evolution, local culture, innovation, personal growth, consulting, problem solving, legacy, family balance, career advice, work-life balance, entrepreneurship, emotional connection, business expansion, communityLinksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thehatchlosFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/theoldfoundry.thehatchThe JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.com Watch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcast Follow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=en Follow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/ Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollective Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournal Learn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]

• JobsWorth - John Hawker

  This week we flip the script on the traditional JobsWorth format.It’s my turn to be on the receiving end of a barrage of questions and there’s only one person I’d trust with the job. My little brother Luke Adam Hawker.This conversation was super special. As well as talking about our careers, what it takes to start a business and how we juggle work and fatherhood, we also explore the importance of creativity (regardless of what you do for a living), my struggles with mental health, my discomfort with what I do for a living and how I’m slowly overcoming it (13 years in) and the pros and cons of stereotypes. Luke and I also go to war (kinda) on why I’m so against the word ‘passion’ when it comes to work. We laugh, I cry, our Mum walks in half way through unannounced. It's a riot. A HUGE thank you to Luke for putting so much effort into coming up with the questions as well as for reaching out to some special guests and getting them involved too. Please enjoy this conversation with...errr...me 🤷The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.com Watch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcast Follow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=en Follow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/ Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollective Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournal Learn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
