Favourite Positions

Favourite Positions is a platform dedicated to helping people find what they love to do.

-

Alex, the founder of Favourite Positions, launched the platform driven by her own frustrating experiences with career advice early in her journey. Like so many, she was hindered by ageism and gender biases (she was told that being younger than the people she was meant to manage would make them feel uncomfortable so she couldn't be promoted and so often, she faced sexism and harassment in her places of work). Alex didn't want to be constrained by outdated 'norms' and have her potential stifled.

Determined to break free from these limitations, she sought advice from individuals who were created inclusive workplaces and championing diversity. She was inspired by their commitment to building businesses that not only thrived but also contributed positively to society and the environment, all while prioritising the well-being of their teams.

Their stories proved that there were new possibilities and inspired Alex to find work that she loved but also to share these insights with others as she knew she wasn't the only one who had been left to feel so disillusioned at work.

Favourite Positions became a platform where Alex could amplify these voices, offering guidance and inspiration to those who, like her, want to love what they do and make a meaningful impact in their careers.

Favourite Positions has a community of over 10,000 people which continues to grow organically since the platform launched in 2022. Alex's work has been recognised by top media outlets such as the BBC, Channel 4, Cosmopolitan, Metro and Start Up Magazine, and she has been awarded The Excellence Scholarship at Imperial College London where she plans to develop the platform further whilst studying at the Business School.
