PeopleFirst Podcast, Season 3, Episode 1: How to Thrive in Corporate if You’re Not a Corporate Person

Ever felt like you don’t quite fit the corporate mould? You’re not alone, and the good news is, you don’t have to change who you are to succeed.

In the first episode of Season 3, host Jordan Spry is joined by Shola West, Brand & Cultural Strategist, and Grace Foulkes, Team Leader at Brook Street to explore what it really means to be a “corporate person” and how to build a successful, authentic career without losing yourself along the way. Together, they discuss the hidden rules of corporate culture, whether we all adopt a “work self”, and how to stand out when you don’t fit the typical mould. They also reflect on how workplace culture is evolving and share the career advice they wish they’d known at the start of their journeys.

In this episode:

  • What are the unspoken rules of corporate life?
  • Do we all need a different “work persona”?
  • How to thrive without conforming
  • Has corporate culture really changed for the better?
  • Honest career advice for early careers

If you’re navigating your career and want to stay true to yourself while progressing, this episode is for you.
