There is no "grand plan" in career evolution - just do the next role well, and growth follows. Listening is a critical leadership skill - professionally and personally. Learning and development need to be accessible, micro, and blended. The post-pandemic workplace risks forgetting the importance of human connection. Slowing down with intentional hobbies (like gardening and dog walks) fosters clarity and well-being.  Resources Mentioned  Helen Longland on LinkedIn  All About Deep Listening by Emily Kiesel YouTube link  Body Talk UK article  New Talent Alliance   Connect & Reflect This episode reminds us that leadership is not about having all the answers, it's about being present, asking good questions, and staying grounded.
