Return Journey – How to get back to work and thrive after a career break with Julianne Miles
Description
“Value your career break. Recognise how the time that you have had on career break has helped you to grow as a person in terms of your skills, in terms of your experiences, in terms of your perspective, in terms of your resilience. And recognise the value that that means you can bring to a new employer..”
In this special podcast episode, we speak to Co-Founder, ex CEO, and now Executive Chair of Career Returners, Julianne Miles MBE.
Julianne is a leading global expert in returning to work, a Chartered Psychologist, and a successful returner herself. Over the last two decades, she has developed deep expertise in supporting returning professionals back to fulfilling work – and now she’s written the book on it!
‘Return Journey: How to get back to work and thrive after a career break’ is the essential handbook for returners. It’s a practical, psychology‑backed roadmap for professionals returning to work after a career break and provides step-by-step advice across the whole return to work journey from Starting Out, to Finding Work That Works, and then Thriving Back at Work.
In this conversation, we explore Julianne’s story, why she wrote the book, and her top tips for navigating the different return to work stages.
“For me, that's the power of the book… helping people to understand some of the barriers in their heads to getting back to work and how to tackle those, alongside the very real practical barriers. So you have this whole toolkit that can take you along that journey from very first thinking about getting back to work, to finding the type of work that works for you at this time of your life, right through to surviving the return to work rollercoaster of those early months back at work, and finally to really thriving.”
