In today’s rapidly changing world of work, interim leadership roles are on the rise. What are Interim Executives? In episode 258 of YOUR CAREER PODCAST we why interim leadership roles are on the rise and may be an excellent option for the next step in your career.

An interim executive is an experienced, C-Suite level leader recruited to fill a leadership vacancy. Responsibilities and focus vary depending on the position and the current needs of the organisation.

Interim CEO’s, for example, are a smart short-term strategic move while an organisation prepares for a long-term leadership change.

In episode 258 of YOUR CAREER Podcast I speak with Geoff Martin who is an inspirational executive HR Leader, Executive and Career Transition Coach who can positively turn any downside, whether business, or personal, into blue sky and value.

In this podcast interview we discuss how encephalitis; brain surgery and Geoff’s near-death experience has strongly influenced how he now approaches his life and work.

Geoff’s overseas experience and love of all things Japanese (he is fluent in the language) has enabled him to create a career that truly is his Ikigai (his reason for being).

Geoff’s experiences range from HR Director of an ASX listed human services company, and senior HR roles in the insurance and banking industries.

He has led national HR teams supporting client groups of over 2000 employees.

He’s worked with leaders including Board Chairmans, Board Remuneration & Selection Committees, CEOs and C-Suite executives.

Geoff works with his clients to take a holistic approach in how each role aligns to important lifestyle, family, values, and wellbeing goals.

This is Geoff’s ‘Professional Purpose’ that has developed from his lived experience of surviving his near-death illness and his subsequent career transformation not only in productivity and quality, but importantly in happiness, wellbeing and whole-of-life.

HOW TO NAVIGATE A MID-CAREER CRISIS

Are you facing a mid-career crisis? Don’t PANIC! The good news is that there is a FORMULA for career success! In episode 257 of Your Career Podcast we focus on this formula.

Firstly, are you STUCK IN A RUT?
Have you ever felt stuck in your career? Like you’re not making any progress, or you’re not enjoying your work anymore? You are not alone. Many mid-career professionals face a career crisis at some point in their lives.

I frequently come across this CAREER SCENARIO:

You’ve jumped from job-to-job, feeling dissatisfied, always looking for the elusive perfect role. Or you’ve been working in the same company for over 10 years, doing the same kind of work, day in and day out.

You are good at what you do, but you feel frustrated, bored and unfulfilled. And you also feel unappreciated and that affects your self-confidence and job satisfaction. You want to do something more meaningful and challenging, something that aligns with your passion and purpose.

And of course you need to earn a living too. But you realise it’s not all about the money, even though your priority is to ensure that you can pay your bills. But you don’t know what you’re passionate about, let alone the ‘purpose’ that you’re supposed to find.

There are so many options and possibilities, and you don’t know which one is right for you. You're scared you may make a wrong move, or risk your financial stability. Perhaps you have people who depend on you and your income too.

You feel trapped in a career that no longer suits you, but how can you make a break for it without risking everything? And another month goes by, then another and a year later you realise you’re still in the same place, continuing around on that proverbial hamster wheel.

And then redundancy looms … oh no! You feel anxious and pray that your role won’t be affected. Then a call from HR for a meeting and your heart sinks. What you had hoped would never happen, is happening.
