Richard and Nicola return with an episode about how to tackle a new job. We catch up with what's been happening with Nicola in her new role and how much of what she had planned came to pass. And Richard chips in with some observations about new jobs he's had.

Then we talk more generally about starting out somewhere new - what to look out for and how to make it a good experience for you and your new colleagues. We discuss the opportunities for reinvention, what that can do for us and whether we can reinvent or relaunch ourselves even if we stay in the same place. And we ask why it is that so many of the things that are roughly the same in any organisation are handled so differently.
