The Career’s Stories series aims to shine a light on the very real journeys people take in their careers – the twists, the growth, the moments of doubt, and the things that help people move forward. We hope that by sharing these stories, colleagues can feel inspired, reassured, and more confident about navigating their own paths.
The series will showcase stories from colleagues with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, celebrating their diverse journeys and raising the profile of hidden roles, opportunities across UoN and transferable skills.
The session will consist of:
Career Story Speaker - 25 mins (recorded)
Q&A – 20 mins
Please read the below short descriptions of each person's story to see some of the topics they will be discussing.
1) Claire Jagger - Living with OCD and anxiety has meant regularly challenging myself, my assumptions, and the systems around me. My story explores how a condition that can feel debilitating has also shaped my personality, resilience and perspective. Hear about the highs and lows of that journey, and how I’ve worked to become the best version of myself along the way.
