This is my 40th personal story episode since starting the podcast and it sees the completion of my Royal Air Force journey, and the start of my second career with Deloitte LLP in the UK.  I've covered some specific themes around transition between careers in a previous episode (Ep95 if you are interested), but this change was self-evidently a critical part of my overall story and so I wanted to share some of the more memorable elements in this episode.

One of the things that really stood out for me during the transition journey was the value and strength of my network.  Although I eventually landed a fantastic role in Deloitte, the conversations that went into informing my choices and approach to the career transition were simply invaluable, and I remain immensely grateful to all those that helped me on the journey.

I really hope you enjoy the episode; I suspect there will be at least some nuggets in the story that might help others making big career changes in any environment.  As ever, please let me have your feedback and share the episode widely if you enjoy it.
