Welcome to the fourth blog in the partnership between Not Going to Uni and Diosa Coaching. Today i am going to focus on partners, teachers, career advisers and guardians – anyone who is in a position where you have influence over young people’s decision making!
It’s a tough role to be in – you have unlimited opportunities for advice and guidance and with so many options and variables to consider it can feel overwhelming.
This week is Mental Health Awareness week – with a focus on body image. I want to spend this week’s blog looking at how you feel about your body and our identity can impact on your job hunt and how you can remedy this.
