"Who do I want to become?"

Alex has just joined the team, while Cassie is about to move on. For both of them, it's a moment to think about where their heads are at and where they'd like to go. Darius leads Alex through an exploration of her music career, talking about the effort of thinking things through, what she ultimately wants to achieve and why, and some steps to move forward. Then Cassie reflects on her six month work placement at People and Their Brilliance, what she learned about her work and herself, and what that means going forwards. For you listening, see if you can emulate this practice of reflection. How clear are you on what you are working towards? What does success look like to you? What have you already got that will help you get there?

• The topic of purpose speaks to the very heart of this podcast, in that it forces us to confront the question of “Who am I becoming?” One technique for taking ownership of your future is to create a vision - we wrote a blog about this which you can read here.
