How's yours?

We're talking about persistence. Absolutely vital in so many walks of life, but particularly education and careers and so this time, you'll hear from both Silje and Nick Howes who'll explain how you can work on yours.

Persistence is one of the 6 Ps in the LMI Personal Leadership Programme and it's such an eye opener to hear them both talk about building great habits around it - especially if you find yourself seeing mates go off to Uni and feeling like you missed out.

If it's time for a reset, review and new plan, this is the podcast on persistence and careers that you need.
