Episode Details

So many people I’m speaking to at the moment are describing themselves as stuck in their careers – often they’ve built a very successful career in one area of specialism and now face into a very big question – “now I have different choices, is this what I really want to do?”

You might know today’s guest Tanya Arnold from her TV career – a BBC sports journalist covering two Olympics, the Commonwealth Games and the Rugby League World Cup. She was one of the first female sports reporters in broadcasting, starting at a time when women covering sport was virtually unheard of. In 2019 she hosted the first interview with the late rugby star Rob Burrow about his Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis – she calls it the hardest but also the most important interview she’s ever done. Today she’s a patron of the West Yorkshire MND Association.

Two years ago Tanya started a new path in her career and just recently she posted on Instagram “I’m going it alone – here’s to the variety and freewheeling!”

Exploring your Unlock Moments can be a powerful way to figure out the path ahead. I can’t wait to hear more about how Tanya is navigating this latest career transition and I’m curious about the parallels you might draw as you listen.
