@saradaviescc: So, it’s National Careers Week here in the UK and the team at @BBCBitesize asked if I’d team up with them to record an inspiring video for young people across the country about how I got started in my career (many, many moons ago!). Looking back, my journey into business didn’t start with some big masterplan, and that’s something I really wanted to share. We talked about turning mistakes and failures into learnings (because trust me, there will be plenty and that’s a good thing), how I realised business was the career for me, why surrounding yourself with the right people changes everything, and how imposter syndrome is something so many young people feel (and let’s be honest, plenty of adults too). If there’s one thing I hope young people take away this week, it’s that you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be curious, willing to learn, and brave enough to give it a go. Careers aren’t straight lines. Mine definitely wasn’t. They’re built on small steps, resilience, and backing yourself, even on the days you don’t quite feel ready. Huge thank you to BBC Bitesize for getting me involved in such an important week. And if you’re starting out and wondering where on earth to begin, just remember every expert was once a beginner. You can watch the full piece over on the BBC Bitesize website. #AD #NCW2026
