Bob Allen has been practising osteopathy for a while now and is hugely qualified to explain what makes for a great osteopath and how one can change lives and even sometimes save a life.

As you've come to expect from the Careers Pod, there's exceptionally useful and first hand advice on the mindset needed, qualification pathway and what it feels like on the very first day of a new and challenging career.

Once Bob has told you his career story, Silje Howes of LMI UK jumps in with some forensic analysis of the work and life lessons and how you can replicate Bob's success.

Steven Bartlett's been calling it " the greatest skill our generation lacks."

How's yours?

We're talking about persistence. Absolutely vital in so many walks of life, but particularly education and careers and so this time, you'll hear from both Silje and Nick Howes who'll explain how you can work on yours.

Persistence is one of the 6 Ps in the LMI Personal Leadership Programme and it's such an eye opener to hear them both talk about building great habits around it - especially if you find yourself seeing mates go off to Uni and feeling like you missed out.

If it's time for a reset, review and new plan, this is the podcast on persistence and careers that you need.

Her story and wisdom and personal experiences are distilled over the course of this episode. Hear how she :

Pursued that vision

Established the brand and its values
