Welcome to Progressing Careers Everywhere, a podcast brought to you by Amoria Group.
In this series, we explore what life is like for those who work as consultants, from the first weeks of training to the life-changing success stories that can be achieved, all from the people who work in this industry every day.
In this episode, Helen Cassin, Senior Talent Attraction Business Partner at Amoria Group’s Manchester office, is joined by Ben Ernst, Senior Consultant at CMC, to explore what happens when your first role isn’t quite the right fit - and how finding the right position can unlock your full potential.
Ben shares his experience of joining as a 360 consultant and later transitioning into a delivery-focused role. Together, Helen and Ben discuss how that shift came about, what he learned through the process, and how internal mobility can help individuals play to their strengths and thrive in their careers.
