160 - Embracing Career Crossroads with Julia Bend
Description
In this latest podcast episode, I'm joined by Julia Bend, Executive Career Transition Coach and founder of Premier Coaching, and we focus on the emotional reality of organisational change, why it so often can feel personal even when it isn't, and what it truly takes to manage yourself well through transition.
Julia also shares her SPEAR Framework, a clear and human approach that guides you from self-awareness through to purposeful action and thoughtful review.
After 27 years in the transport and IT sector, Julia shifted into retraining and rebuilding her career. She now supports professionals to realign their work with their values and strengths, whether they are stepping into leadership or rethinking their next chapter.
This is a grounded, energising and practical discussion for anyone navigating uncertainty or sensing that change is calling.
