Senior Leader to Head of Congregational Administration & Communications

Join me as I chat to Rachael about her move from leading Maths to finding a rewarding new role leading communications and administration in a Franciscan Missionary. Rachael was looking at operations and project management roles when she found this unique role!

Rachael looks after the Sisters supporting with logistics, reporting, communications, helping them to have worldwide impact with their missions. 

In this episode we also explore:

• Feeling torn between the classroom and leadership.
• Finding focused support with quantifying transferable skills. 
• Treating career change as a "job" in itself.
• Five interviews lined up after using the Academy resources!
• Working for a values-drive organisation while creating a new identity. 
• The day-to-day role and similarities with teaching.
• Keeping an open mind looking at admin roles.
