How do you have a great job, have a great career, and end up in the right role, to help you live a purposeful life?

In episode 6, Will and Tom ask where the responsibility sits for discovering what we are good at, leaning into it and getting a fulfilling job that we love. Is it simply down to each and every one of us? 

We're told we'll have five or six jobs in our career, Instead of four or five jobs, it's actually like we'll have three or four careers,  however, we think about ourselves as individuals when we apply for a job. But the reality is, it's the teams we work within in our careers that have the most impact, both good and bad, on our lives 

High-performing teams is a big buzzword, but actually, to have a high-performing team is not sustainable because you end up burning people out. So, it's actually getting a team that works for you and works well together will deliver a better outcome for all involved.

You don't have to be the superstar, and you don't have to be scoring all the top points. You just need to be a good team player. You see it in professional sports, but also everybody has come across someone who may have been a great individual performer but wasn't necessarily a team player.

High-performing teams are able to operate in an environment where they feel like their voice is always heard, and the big part of that, I believe, is trust. Trust is a massive component. 

Feature Interview - Fiona Vale, Co-Founder Humanico

“So, why did I embark on a journey? For me, at its core, I'm a firm believer that everyone matters. My first career was centred around the human experience, which was fabulous, designing and delivering programs and working with some of the top financial advisors in Australia.

“What that gave me was the opportunity to observe, understand, anticipate, and appreciate what actually matters to us, as human beings, outside of role, status, and title.

“I then pivoted to the world of executive search, which is where I met my co-founder and business partner, we were fundamentally perplexed by a model, whereby companies spend so much money trying to find one special snowflake and how that can translate value to an organisation which, really, at its core, begs the question, "What about everyone else? 

“There is an abundance of untapped potential lying dormant, and I'm on a mission to bring it to the surface.”
