Feeling failed by the traditional career ladder? Looking for an alternative that’s not your standard 9-5? We’re told there’s only one way to succeed: climb the ladder, land the promotion, and keep chasing the next promotion. But what if there’s another way?

In this episode of The Switch from St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy, host Gee Foottit speaks to Molly Johnson-Jones, CEO & Co-Founder of Flexa Careers. Molly knows first-hand the cost of questioning the system. After being sacked just 10 days after asking to work from home one day a week, she turned that setback into the spark that launched her business.

Now, she’s helping others rethink their careers and showing that you can find flexibility, fulfilment, and financial security without climbing the ladder and burning out.

In this episode you’ll learn:

➡︎ Why the “career ladder” isn’t the only path to success

➡︎ How your money mindset shapes your choices and opportunities

➡︎ What flexible working really looks like in practise

➡︎ Practical steps to build a career on your terms

I made a mistake while interviewing with Jude Law, and it changed everything: lessons from theatre to TV to St. James's Place.

Carole, a former TV presenter and journalist, is now the Head of Learning and Development at St. James's Place, and her career story is a testament to growth, resilience, and reinvention. Her journey has taken her from performing on international stages to navigating the high-pressure world of TV, and finally, to shaping corporate success through continuous learning and development.

Key takeaways:

• Have a positive self-statement: Boost your confidence with "I'm going to nail this", or add "yet" to remind yourself that growth is a process.
• Stack your skills: In any non-traditional path, your past experiences have value.
• Always be self-aware: Know your “why” and your “drivers and drainers".

Carole’s story is about embracing the unexpected, trusting your instincts, and always being open to change—whether you're behind the scenes or in the spotlight. She shares practical advice on how to unlock high performance, build a strong support system, and know when to pivot in your career.
