What is your career story? When professionals come to me for career coaching, I ask them to tell me their career stories thus far in their own words. I ask them to be brief and only to let me know what got them to this point in their careers and how they see where their career stands at that moment.

B2B startups are facing a stark reality, as competition increases and funding decreases, the traditional blend of technical and business jargon to promote the latest AI solution isn't cutting it anymore.

But too often, the true scale and diversity of “climate tech” is overlooked and underestimated.

There is a global trend and desire for more transparency in all dimensions of business. Pay is just one of them. Technology platforms have democratised and shed spotlights on aspects of jobs that might previously have been kept secret. Additionally, the expectation of particularly GenZ talent, is to work for companies who are open, authentic, and more egalitarian.

The search for the elusive next generation of fans has become a key challenge for the sports industry. While a period of on-field or on-track success used to go a long way to securing the lifelong allegiance of younger fans, those same fans are now far more difficult to find, engage and keep hold of.
