Fay:
[00:00:00] Welcome to the trailer for HR coffee time, a weekly podcast, full of tips and ideas to help you have a successful and fulfilling HR career. I'm your host Fay Wallis. I'm a career coach and the founder of Bright Sky Career Coaching and before becoming a career coach and setting up bright sky in 2016, I had an HR career.
If you're listening to this, you probably work in HR yourself. You have such an important role, but I know that your role can have real challenges. There are highs when things go well and you can see you're making a difference and you're appreciated for all the hard work that you do, but you can also have tougher times when you have to handle stressful situations like large scale redundancies, or your ideas are dismissed by other people and other departments; or you're misunderstood and unappreciated.
[00:01:00] I also know it can feel hard to put yourself and your own needs first a lot of the time when you are so busy looking after everyone else around you. And what worries me about that is that I know that can be a real danger of burning yourself out, or suddenly finding that you're not where you want to be in your career but not sure what to do about it. And perhaps there are times when you might even feel unsure about what you want from your career anymore. So this podcast is here to help no matter what stage you're at with your career, whether things are going brilliantly and you're loving your job, but want to keep developing, or whether you're facing a career challenge. And you want some advice to help solve it.
The show is a mix of solo episodes where I'll be sharing my own advice and tips, but there are also going to be lots of guest episodes as well for you where I've invited other experts onto the podcast for a chat to share their ideas as well.
[00:02:00] And I'd love you to imagine when you're listening to the podcast that we're in a coffee shop, having a chat over a cup of coffee.
Why not pour yourself a cup of coffee right now and have a lesson to the first episodes? I really hope you're going to enjoy the show and find it helpful. Please do follow the show or subscribe to it in your favorite podcast.
You can also sign up to receive an HR coffee time email from me each week where I'll be sharing the latest podcast episodes by heading over to the podcast page on my website, which is www.brightskycareercoaching.co.uk.
Thank you so much and enjoy the show.
