On Your Marks

Welcome back to On Your Marks!
Whether it’s giving a presentation at work or handling a difficult conversation with your boss, we all know that having solid communication skills can help us make progress in our careers. But what techniques can we all learn to help us get our voices heard effectively?
This week, we sit down Simon Hall. He’s a former-BBC TV News Correspondent with 20 years’ experience who now leads an award winning course, Compelling Communication Skills, at the University of Cambridge. We dig into the foundations of good communication, the amazing ways storytelling can enhance data-driven presentations, and how to manage tricky feelings like imposter syndrome.

This week, we're looking at leadership. What does it truly mean to be a good leader? Maybe you're actively seeking leadership roles, or perhaps it's something you’ve never considered before. Leadership, after all, isn't just about holding a title—it’s about how we influence and inspire others in our day-to-day actions.
 
So this week, we sit down with ACCA's own Chief Executive Helen Brand. We dig into her career journey, the benefits of finding a good mentor, and how we can all look for opportunities to lead in our working lives.

Choosing your career path can feel like a huge decision and lead to a lot of anxious thoughts. What if you don't enjoy the work as much as you hoped, or you find the culture at your new job doesn't suit you? Is it okay to switch industries, or will that mean you don't progress? There can be so many choices and expectations that it can be easy to feel pressured. 
This week on On Your Marks, we sit down with career coach Helen Tupper. She's the author of 'Squiggly Careers' and founder and CEO of Amazing If,  an organisation that helps everyone feel more satisfied with their working lives. We dig into how to build a career journey that's right for you, from figuring out your values to what really matters to you in the workplace, and discuss practical steps we can all take towards feeling more confident in our career path.

We all know that studying for ACCA exams can be a real challenge, and when you add caregiving responsibilities like parenting into the mix it can feel like a never-ending juggling act. From caring for little ones to managing household responsibilities, it can be a struggle to balance family life with big career goals.
 
So this week on On Your Marks, we sit down with Finance Business Manager Debbie Oluyemi. She has first-hand experience of facing studying for her ACCA qualification and becoming a new parent for the first time. We dig into some of the key challenges she dealt with and what strategies she found really helped.
