Jenny Boymal has spent all her career in education. She started as a teacher, then a training organisation, and now Jenny is running her own business that develops online induction programs.

She is passionate about giving people access to learning and giving them a love of learning.

Jenny is also involved in Project Optimism. How do we adopt habits which make us feel lighter and brighter?

Jenny is passionate about education because she did not have the best school experience herself. She struggled through the early years before finding her niche and leveraging her talents.

Jenny is a firm believer that if you know you can learn, then you can learn anything. The world is exciting because it is possible to be a specialist in almost any industry.

People learn and think in different ways. Neuro diversity studies are providing new opportunities for people and the education systems.

There is no one size fits all for employees. The new role of the leader needs to be the inspirer. They need to be the chief optimist in the organisation.

People see their careers differently. Each role is a stepping stone towards the personal dream. What is your passion? Explore.

Young people want to know that what they are doing is making a difference. E.g. I am an accountant, and my company is focused on helping a specific cause. The role is making a determined impact. Allow employees to get involved in their passion. Skills + purpose are changing.

Jenny’s advice to young people is to enjoy your schooling, secondary and tertiary. It’s a time that is different to the rest of your life. Enjoy the thinking time. Don’t make too many decisions about your career. Just graduate and get out and experience work. Learn a broad range of skills like communication skills and customer skills. Find out what you like and what you don’t like.

Get out there and live. Try different leaders and work out what type of leader suits your style.
