In this episode, JoAnn tells me about the challenges new graduates face when they enter work. It's a big step that everyone faces, and it's often challenging, made all the more salient by the seismic changes in how organisations function and what they expect of their staff. JoAnn tells me how senior doctors and leaders can support new doctors, and shares her tips for new graduates themselves. Her top tip is about selfcare.

JoAnn ran her own recruitment business for 20 years, and graduated from Oxford Brookes Business School with an MA in Coaching and Mentoring. She has a particular interest in supporting graduates and in early career coaching. She has also been involved in setting up Oxford Coaching Partners (https://oxfordcoachingpartners.com), a team of coaches committed to mutual support and self development. She is accredited at EMCC practitioner level and is a licensed CCS career counsellor. She is a volunteer tutor at Oxfordshire Recovery College who favour an educational approach to understanding mental health.
