LISTEN: From grief to a growth mindset
In the latest episode of the Future Faces Podcast, hosted by Sophie Poduval-Morrell, the discussion revolves around mindfulness, its importance, and how it can benefit young professionals in their careers.
Sophie is joined by Tom Forrester, a trainee financial planner at BRI Wealth Management and a member of Future Faces.
Tom shares his career journey, including his transition from administrative roles to a client-facing position, and his unexpected pathway into financial planning despite his initial aspiration to be a teacher.
He opens up about personal challenges, such as losing his father during his university years and a later personal tragedy, and how these experiences led him to introducing mindfulness practices like journaling and habit tracking into his life.
Tom emphasizes the importance of being present, setting personal goals, and aligning your work with personal values.
The conversation also touches on the impact of external pressures, the role of corporate culture in personal well-being, and practical mindfulness strategies for young professionals.
You can get in touch with Tom via LinkedIn.
