Career-Defining Moments

14-06-2022 • 38 mins

How can the concepts of purpose and efficiency work together when it comes to your career? In this insightful and to the point chat with Julia Capon, we unpack how we can do good for the communities around us and look after ourselves and our well-being in the process. By embracing growth and learning how to delegate, we can work more to our strengths and allow team members around us to grow as well.

We cover:

· Making a difference to people, businesses and communities

· Values and finding true purpose in the work you do

· Connecting with what we wanted to do as children to our professional goals

· Finding systems and efficiencies to be happier and work better

· The distinction between ‘for purpose’ and ‘not-for-profit’

· Travel, the power of seeing communities working together and bringing this learning back home with you

· Trying to ‘do it all’ and balancing burnout

· Daring to shift when something is not working

· Money mindset shifts, delegation and hiring the right people to help you scale your business

· Being competent and capable, but still being able to delegate tasks that don’t make the biggest difference

· Not allowing ‘good’ things to stop you from being ‘great’


Julia’s top 3 career tips:

1) Keep investing in yourself and fast-track your growth

2) Get uncomfortable more – by doing those things you will grow

3) Community and network is everything
