6. How One Moment Can Change Your Whole Career / Brent Williams from Empower U

Brent Williams is the co-founder of Empower U, Australia's leading personal development and life skills program for young people. He is a legend and knows A LOT about how to engineer a fulfilling career.

We cover a lot in this episode including:

  • The journey he went on to starting Empower U - a personal development program for young people that has had over 30,000 graduates to date.
  • The skills that school are not covering but are important to learn.
  • Multipotentialites and how there isn't 'one' answer/job/career that you have to choose when you leave school.
  • The importance of facing challenges and getting uncomfortable.
  • Social media and how it impacts careers.
  • Toxic friendships and letting them go.

I'm Alana Kilmartin: a former wannabe-doctor and current snowboarder. I was labelled a nerd at school but I gained some extra cool points in my 20s (I think...or maybe I don't care). I realised sh*t had got way too serious in my career and that all the stuff I'd been told at school about work was way off. I'm now wildly passionate about entertaining with my stories, exposing career loopholes and inspiring young people to take gap years. Giddy up.
