In this episode, I speak to Tracey Clay, from Pivotal Partnerships, who shares her unique career journey from a traditional secretary to running her own consultancy. Once Tracey stepped into recruitment she never looked back.
Tracey discusses the evolution of work, the importance of flexibility in career transitions, and the changing dynamics of the workforce. She reflects on her decision to start her own business at 50, the challenges of being a solo entrepreneur, and the significance of building a supportive community.
Tracey emphasizes the need for individuals to take control of their careers and embrace change, while also highlighting the importance of self-reflection and personal development.
Tracey has led national talent strategies, and is a qualified and accredited coach with the Association for Coaching, an Emotional Intelligence Practitioner accredited with RocheMartin. The conversation was fantastic and a real insight. Thank you Tracey.Follow Tracey:Tracey Clay’s career is a brilliant example of how squiggly paths often lead to the most fulfilling work. From her early days in freight sales, retail training, and executive support roles, to coaching gymnasts in her spare time, she’s always had a knack for developing people – even before it became her profession.Tracey's LinkedInPivotal Partnership
