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.

Company

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.
