Join me tomorrow for my final Creator Accelerator event!

This is such a meaningful conversation.

The world changes so rapidly today that it can feel overwhelming.

Every week, there seem to be new announcements of economies and industries struggling, companies re-structuring and people being made redundant.

Throughout my career and personal life, I've experienced many challenges that have hit me hard.

It's through those tough moments that you experience personal growth and character development.

It's not easy to deal with and ultimately, it comes down to your resilience.

No one knows this better than , a super successful entrepreneur who's experienced many challenges on his journey.

We clicked instantly when speaking about resilience - I'm so excited to share our thoughts with you.

We'll be exploring:

- Techniques to help you reframe resilience
- Frameworks in how to create support systems
- Creating layers of confidence for yourself and others

Join us here: https://lnkd.in/eikcjuDh

I believe that building resilience is the number one skill you need to thrive in 2023! Do you agree? 🤔

The creative industry is a beast.

The UK had an estimated 2.29m creative industries jobs in September 2021. That's 6.9% of all UK jobs at that time 🔥

But there isn't a clear roadmap for how to be successful within these industries.

People don't tend to see themselves as 'creatives.'

📸 Take photography for instance, that's just a hobby, right?

Not many would consider doing a photography degree at university. Well, did.

💫 And she's gone on to build a successful career, from graphic design to photography and now she's in a senior role at one of the world's leading fitness brands, Gymshark.

Jo is also a Cannes Future Lions Judge and Creative Marketer of the Year Award 2022 winner!

Did you ever feel stressed about getting a first-class degree?

Society measures us in one way only at school and university. Grades, grades, grades.

We’re taught that grades = value from a young age that it’s difficult to break out of that way of thinking.

I was so focussed on getting good grades because I thought it would dictate my career. I was so wrong!

Change it up. Don’t let grades be your only measure of success. Look for new experiences, online courses, extra curricular, meet new people and learn about culture, focus on your health and mindset. Invest in other areas of life and you’ll be so ready whatever life throws at you.

Entry level job: “requires 3 to 5 years experience, a degree and two professional certifications”

Employers, let’s be realistic. If you want experience, you pay for it.

If you want an ambitious, creative and hard working young person with huge potential, then lower your requirements.

Start paying for people’s potential. Nurture them and watch them grow.

The next generation are incredibly talented.

They’ll add so much value to your team.

They just need the right opportunities.

“Expert Googler”
“Strong Googling skills”

If you saw these on a CV how would you react?

Is it so simple that it’s brilliant?! 😄

The reality is, there’s so much information available on the internet. Learning how to find that information is a genuine skill ⌨️

Maybe it should be taken more seriously, thoughts?

Shout out to all the international students, graduates and professionals 💙

Your talents aren’t recognised enough.

There’s a reason employers value diversity in their teams. Different people think differently, have new ideas, unique perspectives, challenge the norm and constantly innovate.

It’s time to embrace what makes you different.

24/08/2021

People always talk about why you should do a job but never why you shouldn’t. It’s just as important.

There are so many people who have opinions, so many outside influences that can send us on the wrong path.

Hate to say it but your parents aren’t always right. And they don’t always know what’s best for you.

Focus on what makes you happy.

And don’t do what I did and almost done a degree in Law because I thought Harvey Spector from Suits was cool 😎

COMMENT if any of the 6 points resonate with you? 👇
