In today’s episode I am talking to Dr. Gillian Shapiro about creating your own version of career success.Gillian is founder and Managing Director of Shapiro Consulting. She brings over twenty years specialist expertise on inclusion and diversity baked in with behavioural science and organisational development into leadership, team coaching and culture change. Her focus is on helping leaders and teams build the relationships needed to thrive through complexity, uncertainty and change. In addition to consultancy and executive coaching, Gillian draws on her early career background in research to improve leadership development and practice within organisations.This was a fascinating conversation where we touched on Gillian's move from academia and research to launching her own business, how she has shifted and adapted as the market has changed and what changes she has seen in the workplace, particularly in the past few years with more remote and hybrid working.   What you will learn:-  The power of partnership. Whether it is you as a consultant offering your services to an organisation or you as an individual that's looking to work as an employee within an organisation, often we neglect to view it as a partnership.  Instead of asking whether the role is a good fit for us, we then focus on trying to prove ourselves. By focusing on partnership and the right fit, you ensure the work you do is really valued and you can really shine.-  The importance of relationships. Relationships are more important than ever. When things are more predictable, it's much easier to tell people what to do or to sell ideas to them. In the current climate, we really need to collaborate. We need to consult with people, we need to involve people. And that requires a different depth of relationship. -  The impact of hybrid working on relationships in the workplace. Although there are many positives, more intentionality is required. It's important to think carefully about when do we come together, who do we come together with, why are we coming together and how we need to do it in order to get the best outcomes.Connect with Dr. Gillian Shapiro at shapiroconsulting.co.uk or on LinkedIn.Other episodes you may enjoy:Episode 204: How To Finally Stop Allowing Imposter Syndrome To Stunt Your Career Growth With Jaz Episode 190: Embracing The Career Change Journey With Anjuli ObaroTHIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CAREER CLARITY ACCELERATORIf you are looking for support with finding career clarity so you can relaunch your career with confidence, join this program >> https://www.careerchangemakers.com/ccaEnjoying the show?
