You reach the top of your career but then walk away. Why? Is there something else out there driving you?

My next guest spent nearly her entire adult life in the corporate banking sector. Grueling hours. High stakes deals. A well-paid and prestigious position. After several decades, she turns her life in another direction: teaching the next generation.

Find out what made her make such a drastic career decision, what she learned through this remarkable journey, her advice for others wishing to jump ship at their current job, and what endeavors give her joy now.

Zeynep Holmes is currently a secondary school teacher in London. Prior to that, she was an international investment banker for over 20 years and spent the last 10 years of that career in a senior leadership position at a multinational institution. She soon realized her true calling was helping a rising generation of young professionals be successful and decided to retrain as a teacher.

She is an Economics and Business teacher and has a special interest in teaching her students real life skills such as conflict management, debating skills and the importance of authenticity in leadership and different professional and personal relationships.
