Making the most of non-linear career paths

A few months back, my good friend Kareem Mostafa who I've featured in the blog introduced me to a friend of his - Leon Nussbaumer. Leon runs an excellent and top-rated podcast about professionals and careers called Leon & The Professionals.

Leon and I got to talking and decided to record a session as well. 

Leon was great to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation which could have gone for much, much longer. 

His head was probably spinning at some point with all I kept on saying and how we kept pivoting the conversation from one topic to another. Here are some of the key things we covered:

Making the Most of Non-Linear Career Paths

  • How to approach the first 90 days when joining a new organisation 
  • Making the most out of career opportunities
  • Parenting
  • Being an ex-pat
  • Looking after your finances

Here's a quick summary to give you a feel for our conversation: 

 

And another blurb on a key skill you should have been taught at school: 

 

So if these have convinced you, here's where you can listen to the whole podcast:

 

Thank you, Leon, again for having me! I loved it!

 

How have you made the most out of your career?
