It's time to announce our next guest on the Love Your Career Podcast, and it's a great one! We were joined by industry icon, events guru and the all round lovely person that is Lucy Findlay Beale from Elevate. We enjoyed this conversation a lot. Lucy is so honest, open and authentic and we explored so much from her early career, lessons learned and finding her passion all the way through to Elevate, some challenging times and what is coming next. So many tips and some great guidance in there. Plus the launch of the quick fire round of CV, prep and interview advice for clients and candidates! Thanks so much Lucy - loved it. #LoveYourCareer #CareerPodcast #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice #FitnessCareers
