Sometimes you're just ready for a change... and that's okay! Your body gets nervous around change. It likes the status quo (from a purely evolutionary point of view, the status quo has kept you alive so far so why change it!?) Even when we know that a change is what we need, we're likely to still feel nervous about it... even when we know it's the right thing to do. If you've thought it through carefully and it's still what you want to do... it's your life - never be too afraid to make yourself happy.

What do you like about your job and the company?
I went into teaching to make a difference every day and I did. When I was looking for something new, I still wanted to make a positive difference to others. Working within the apprenticeships team, I help people navigate routes alternative to university. I help people realise that earning while they learn can be hugely beneficial - and I can speak from personal experience!
Greatest achievements
I have worked to create content for LBG's pre-boarding platform, "Imagine What's Next". At first, this task really took me out of my comfort zone. I hadn't had any experience of desgining online content like this before but I found it so rewarding! I had lots of ideas but not much clue how to make these a reality, With the help of my team and a lot of perserverence, I learnt how to create my own videos and upload them to the platform. I also created activities based on key skills that candidates applying for LBG roles would find useful.

My top three tips would be: - Embrace new opportunities and experiences. You never know what you might learn or discover from venturing into the unknown or challenging yourself. Be ready to adapt and grow from different situations and perspectives. - Cultivate curiosity and eagerness to learn. Demonstrating that you can acquire new knowledge and skills in diverse domains and apply them effectively in your work will make you stand out. Seek feedback and guidance from others and always look for ways to improve yourself. - Take initiative and collaborate with others. Keep your eye out for interesting opportunities and be open to asking - asking questions, asking for support, asking for new opportunities. Show that you can work well with others and contribute to projects. Build productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders and develop as a respected subject matter expert.
