Sometimes staying within our comfort zone can be the thing holding us back. So how can we get clear about what we truly want out of our careers and take that next step?

In this episode, Jordan discusses practical steps to accelerate your career with Oliver Haddock, founder of the Careers Edit, and Chloe Davidson, Branch Manager at Brook Street.

They discuss:

  • Setting short- and long-term goals

  • Internal and external networking techniques
  • How to chase goals without burning out.
