I had the most wonderful, energising conversation with Natalie Sisson about her amazing range of career experiences ('wildly varied' in her own words!) to date and what led her to entrepreneurship and helping others grow.

We cover:

• Her passion for storytelling, journalism and marketing
• The desire to get onto the corporate ladder and challenge yourself
• Leaning into wildly different things in your career
• Knowing when and how to leave a role when you have mastered it
• Courage to explore the deep end and backing yourself to take on jobs you don't know how to do yet
• Rise to the challenge and showing up for yourself
• Reconciling dream roles who don’t turn out to be what you were promised on paper
• Gratitude for difficult experiences to help form your career journey
• Allowing people to back your career and help you learn and succeed in your role
• Leveraging honesty, transparency and a bit of cheekiness in your professional networking
• How career coaching helped shape her journey
• Pushing the boundaries and not conforming
• Standing up for the salary and role you want and deserve

Natalie’s 3 career tips:

1. Negotiate your role upfront and make sure you get the money and value you need from it.

2. Do your research on the company before you meet with them and interview them as much as they interview you.

3.  Dare to design your ideal career set up, it will give you so much more joy.
