    • The Missing Link in Career Change: Discover Your Values | Dr Mandeep Rai
      Jan 9 2026

      We’re often told to follow our skills, our passions, or chase a bigger paycheck - but what if the real key to a fulfilling career is understanding your values?

      Values have come up time and again throughout this latest series of The Switch, so we’ve brought in a leading expert to help you identify yours.

      In this episode of The Switch from St. James’s Place Financial Adviser Academy, host Gee Foottit is joined by Dr Mandeep Rai, journalist, global development expert and author of ‘The Values Compass’.

      Mandeep shares how values shape individuals, organisations, and even entire nations - and why uncovering your own values could be one of the most powerful moves you make in your career (and life).

      Listen to learn:

      ➡︎ What values are and how they differ from skills and goals

      ➡︎ How national values shape culture, leadership, and working life

      ➡︎ Why career dissatisfaction is often a values mismatch, not a “wrong job”

      ➡︎ Practical ways to uncover the values that matter most to your career

      ➡︎ How to use values as a compass when making big professional decisions
