Episode 172 - Inspiring the Next Generation: Emma Vites on Career Coaching and Personal Growth
Welcome back to the Shift with Elena Agar Podcast. In today's episode, we're excited to introduce Emma, a trailblazing professional whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Initially setting her sights on LA to reunite with her sister, Emma mastered the art of sales and achieved her American dream in 2015. Beyond her corporate success, Emma transformed a personal traumatic experience in 2016 into a passion for mindfulness and meditation. She leveraged these practices to establish the Apprentice project, a unique educational resource integrating job-seeking skills with mindfulness and meditation. Join us as we dive into Emma's multifaceted career, from her beginnings in Manchester's graduate recruitment scene to her pivotal role at LinkedIn, her travels around the world, and her ground-breaking work in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). We'll explore how Emma's challenges, insights, and innovative approaches are shaping the future for the Gen Z and Gen Alpha workforce, and how she's pioneering new strategies to help companies attract and retain young talent. We'll also hear about her best-selling book, "The Graduate Bible," and her upcoming work focused on the Alpha generation. Plus, we'll discuss the impact of AI technology in various professions and the evolving landscape of personal branding and career preparation. Whether you're an executive dealing with distraction and overwhelm or a young graduate seeking direction, Emma's story is filled with invaluable insights and inspiration.
