Thinking about starting over and changing careers in your 20s, don’t panic, it might be the best decision you ever make.
I’m joined by Helen Wingrove-Sanders, who went from bluffing her way into radio as a teenager to becoming the BBC’s first female football commentator in the 1990s, before making a huge career pivot into recruitment, where she’s spent the last 27 years helping businesses build teams that truly fit.
We talk about why changing careers isn’t a failure, how every role adds something valuable to your skillset, and why it’s never too late to change direction.
✨ In this episode, we chat about:
- Why your twenties are the perfect time to experiment with different careers
- How changing jobs can actually make you more employable
- How to know when it’s time to make a career pivot
- Why trusting your instincts is often the best career advice you’ll ever get
💬 About Helen:
Helen Wingrove-Sanders spent her twenties building a career in radio before becoming the BBC’s first female football commentator, a trailblazing role she earned at a time when women weren’t even allowed in many football press boxes! She later transitioned into recruitment, where she’s spent more than 27 years helping founders build high-performing teams. Her career is proof that changing direction can open doors you never expected.
