91/ LEILA THOMAS
EPISODE 91
Our dream mentor is the intro subject this week as we reveal more about ourselves than those chosen. Then it’s into a chat with Leila Thomas on the organisation she founded and leads to provide young people with the aspirations, opportunity and skills to achieve their career goals.
James imagines dragging the team up on stage to pick up an award, meanwhile Kenneth picks a tattoo and our guest dreams of an army of volunteers to support her. There’s positive pathways, underrepresentation in the corporate sector and overrepresentation on TV. We talk about a solution-focused approach, taking action and the skills of reverse mentoring.
There’s the enjoyment of seeing people connect over a shared passion, demystifying the workplace and networking. Kenneth’s golfing prowess is questioned, the show gets a glowing endorsement and we prepare to parent teenagers.
