JobsWorth Reshare - Mum, Mud and Motivation

On this weeks JobsWorth Reshare episode we're going back to our very first episode and a conversation I had with my mum, Lisa Hawker, back in September 2023.Have you ever wondered how the dreams of your childhood could possibly shape your future? Well, on this maiden episode of 'JobsWorth' we explore that very concept with my guest, Lisa Hawker, who also happens to be my Mum. We discuss her evolution from aspiring spy and actress to a successful self-employed artist. From banking to BT, all the way through to the discovery of her true passion - ceramics, this is a tale of courage, determination, and resilience. A single full-time mother juggling parenting, work, and education, all while pursuing her dream career, Mum's story is testament to the fact that sometimes, the most unconventional path can lead to the most rewarding destination.As she opens up about her journey, we learn about her struggles, triumphs, and the lessons she's learned along the way as well as the importance of self-belief when it comes to pursuing your dreams. Anyone who is lucky enough to have their mum around knows that as you get older, opportunities to actually sit down and speak to your parents are pretty rare and whilst I thought I might immediately regret the decision to have her on as the first guest I feel so fortunate I got the chance to record this. Enjoy. The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.comWatch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcastFollow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=enFollow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollectiveSubscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournalLearn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
