I adored this conversation - Anat Hassner is an incredibly impressive Chief People Officer at a large Australian non profit. 

A PHD in change management, time spent in academia and a hugely successful corporate career which has seen her work shift from working for large organisations to for-purpose businesses, Anat shares so much fantastic wisdom. On topics such as creating a career pathway for herself that was, at the time, undefined, suffering from imposter syndrome, how we can overcome obstacles and take accountability for our own lives and how we can support those around us to shift their mindsets too. We also discussed how instead of creating balance in all aspects of life, you can admit that there will be sacrifices. 
Anat is thought-provoking and this conversation is packed with her wisdom and I am so excited to for you to listen!

Today I am very excited to take this episode inside the Lotus People Sydney HQs. My guests today are Chloe Jones and Iona Colville. Chloe is a temporary recruitment consultant here at Lotus and Iona has recently been promoted to Divisional Manager of both the perm team and the HR team.

After an unplanned hiatus, When Work Isn’t Work is back! 

We sat down with the gorgeous soul that is Ez Khan! Ez is a star of the recruitment industry, an entrepreneur with endless creative ideas and someone who has been courageous at every stage of his career. In this chat we talk about disrupting an industry, the downsides of an entrepreneurial brain and why being courageous in your career will allow you to have a more fulfilled and happy life (oh, and also, why buying a porsche is never the answer to happiness!)
