A year ago today I joined @CareerReadyUK as the new CEO.

I could never have imagined the challenges 2020 would pose, but I've also cherished the opportunity to learn from my experiences.

Here’s my 5 reflections from my first year in charge:

🗣️ | “#CareerReadyAt18 shows how we help young people to aim higher, do better, and feel happier.”

Real change is about empowering people into the future.

In his latest blog, @ToksyTweets shares how we set out to capture this: https://t.co/uyyk2XDkx7

[Career Ready @CareerReadyUK]

🗣️ | "Career Ready was life-changing for me, opening doors to colleagues who've guided me on my career path."
