🎙️ In this episode, I sat down with Howard Longstaff, retired recruiter, entrepreneur, and now coach and mentor.Howard’s journey is a fascinating look at what happens when an “accidental recruiter” builds global businesses, sells them, and ultimately chooses a path of coaching and grounded spirituality. From hotel kitchens to executive search across three continents, Howard shares the lessons of business building, the importance of cultural fit in recruitment, and the clarity that comes from slowing down and finding balance in nature.

Some of the highlights of our conversation include:

🔸 Accidental beginnings : How a chance interview led to a 30-year career in recruitment.🔸 Building global businesses : The highs and lows of running firms across multiple countries.🔸 Coaching by choice : Why mentoring was always part of recruitment and how it became his true focus.🔸 CVs in the age of AI : What candidates need to know about ATS systems.🔸 Spiritual grounding : How fly-fishing became a powerful tool for clarity and resilience.

🎧 Listen now for a grounded and insightful conversation about career change, entrepreneurship, and the role of spirituality in finding clarity and choice.
