126 - How to start 2025 right if you are a student or recent graduate on your early career journey
Hey hey hey... HAPPY NEW YEAR! (To anyone listening in real time... and wishing the spirit and hope of a new year to anyone listening to this months later!)
Welcome to the first Dive Into Your Career podcast episode for 2025.
Regardless of how you spent the Holiday season, there's a chance that you experienced a change of pace and routine and as such may have deliberately or even subconsciously set some - insert appropriate word for you... intentions / resolutions / goals / promises for the year ahead.
While creating unnecessary pressure on yourself at one time of the year probably isn't helpful, there is a collective energy in the are which we each have the opportunity to tap into and as such today's episode focuses on...
How to start 2025 right if you're a student or recent graduate on your early careers journey.
Spoiler alert: as a teen or twenty something, regardless of whether you engage with it or not, you are already on your career development journey. Paying attention and actively getting involved in your journey towards your future will be beneficial for you.
In this episode, career coach, consultant and content creator Gina Visram shares 8 ways to start your 2025 on a positive note - though even if you're listening in June instead of January, you still find it beneficial.
At the start of the episode, Gina does pause to recognise that natural and political disasters mean that at this time, some people won't necessarily have the bandwidth to do this reflection and action taking encouraged in this episode... but many... in fact most of us do have the agency to take charge of our present and potential future and if that includes you, why don't you listen to this episode today and share it with a friend.
