Welcome back to our inaugural episode of Season 8 of the WorkJoy Jam Podcast! 

I’m your host, Beth Stallwood and I am joined by the insightful Kathryn Bishop, who combines teaching at Oxford’s Saïd Business School, with the practical experience of leadership roles in the private, public and voluntary sectors.

As we sit down with Kathryn,  we will be navigating the vast landscape of career success and how to redraw your career map. We talk about redefining what success looks like at various life stages and untangle the perception of board membership. From understanding the Ikigai model to applying the strategic Ansoff matrix to personal career transitions, Kathryn provides a treasure trove of strategies to align your career with your WorkJoy.

With Kathryn's guidance, we’ll explore how networking, shadowing, and even what you decide not to do can open doors to unexpected opportunities. Plus, Kathryn shares practical advice to bring your unique voice to the boardroom and remind you that making a difference isn't about sitting silently—it's about making your contribution count.

So whether you're at a career crossroads, considering a board position, or simply looking to infuse more joy into your work life, this episode is a must-listen. Gear up to craft a "to not do" list, and let's jump into this conversation.
