Finding work can be a challenge for anyone, but for someone who is leaving education with little, or no work experience the challenges of accessing the first steps on the career ladder can seem unsurmountable.

When Sydney Samuels left university with an ambition to work in the finance industry, the reality of just how hard it can be to access career opportunities became very apparent. Despite the numerous obstacles that she encountered Sydney was able to get the starting role with an investment bank.

In this episode of The Independent Minds Sydney shares with Michael Millward, of Abeceder the sequence of events that led to her starting a career in an investment bank.

Sydney also shares the lessons her experience taught her about the challenges that people face when they are looking for their first step on the career ladder when leaving education.

Michael and Sydney explore the reasons why these challenges exist and the problems they create for both employers and would be employees.

Sydney explains how her experiences led to her founding Loop Not Luck a new style of recruitment website that helps employers access junior talent from outside their conventional areas of recruitment.

Adrian Ashton helps the leaders of charities and not-for-profit organisations to turn those, someone should do something about this into, I will be that someone action plans.

He tells Michael Millward from Abeceder what people who want to create change must do before they can start to create that change.

Adrian explains that creating a change requires

• understanding the history of challenges and solutions help people to adapt to change.
• learning how relationships between people with different aims and objectives work.

One of the factors that can limit the successful implementation of a change programme explains Adrian is the confidence of the people trying to achieve the change.

Adrian argues that we should embrace these feelings of self-doubt or what is often called imposter syndrome and learn to love our doubt.

In his book Loving Your Doubt Adrian Ashton debunks the myths that surround imposter syndrome and explains how to boost your self-confidence.

Andrew and Michael discuss the real meaning of success and how to achieve success.

This is an interesting discussion in which guest reflects on their career and the behaviours that have generated their success.

Despite more than half a century of DEI initiatives women, and people of BAME communities still face challenges that make accessing senior management roles difficult. The problem is particularly common in the public sector. Traditionally the public sector has drawn employees from these communities, but it is usually still white males who end up in the top jobs.

Now two women who have broken through the glass ceiling have created DIFFERENT, a different way of providing the skills, knowledge, and wisdom that helped them build their successful careers.

Meena Kishinani and Deborah Cadman have both had long and highly successful careers as leaders of public sector organisations.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds you will hear Meena and Deborah share with host Michael Millward examples of why women and BAME public sector workers hit a glass ceiling. They explain what happened that enabled them to break through that glass ceiling.

Now they have brought what they benefited from informally into a structured programme that has been powered by Tile Hill and Newtrality, two organisations that are committed to creating proportional representation in senior Local Government leadership. DIFFERENT

Anj Popat, an associate director at specialist recruiter Tile Hill explains the important impact that this future focused programme, which is sponsored by change consultancy Newtrality, will have on the supply of high-quality candidates by giving women and BAME community members what they need to be application ready.

Anj, Deborah, and Meena reflect on the positive impact initiatives like DIFFERENT will have on public sector organisations that are under increasing pressure to do increasingly more with increasingly less.
