Sarah Flynn is a career coach who works with purpose-led, empathic leaders making a difference to the world. In addition, Sarah teaches resilience for sustainability leaders on the Cambridge sustainability leaders masters.
Discussing her own squiggly career journey, Sarah explains how she felt when she discovered psychology as a teenager and then became inspired to study it in depth, thinking she'd work in clinical psychology.
She talks about moving to Italy to teach English as a foreign language, what led her into working in psychotherapy and how she became a research psychologist.
In another career development, Sarah used her skills to work as a postnatal facilitator supporting working parents and that led her into another aspect of her career, corporate career coaching.
As a mum herself, Sarah explains why she is keen to empower young people and older workers as they seek a career and her tips for satisfaction and a fulfilling worklife.
Sarah also discusses how and why she and co-author Charly Cox wrote Climate Change Coaching: The Power of Connection to Create Climate Action, bringing their climate change and professional coaching knowledge together.
