Azzees’ Journey - Aspiring Actor as a Young Girl, Political Career, Building a Social Enterprise and Passion for Helping Young People

Welcome to another episode of the Journey Podcast!

In today’s episode, I’m having a conversation with Azzees Minott, who is a Director, Facilitator and Chief Operating Officer at 2-3 Degrees, the award-winning social enterprise committed to inspiring and empowering young people to fulfill their potential through engaging in confidence building and skills enhancing workshops and programmes across the UK.

Since March 2016, they have worked with over 9,000 young people across the country, including reaching over 500 young people online during Covid-19 restrictions.

I first met Azzees years ago when she came to one of my Yoga classes where we both worked at the time. When I started this podcast, Azzees came to mind immediately and I have been trying to schedule this interview with her since January, so I’m beyond excited to share this episode with you today!

In our conversation, you’ll hear what her childhood was like as a British born young black girl, how she developed her political career as a young woman, and building her social enterprise with her university friend…. whilst working full-time.

Fall in Love with Your Career Again!

If you are a passionate aspiring leader, who wants to be more confident and secure your next promotion or new role, but as an introvert you find yourself having to present yourself as someone you are not and are struggling to progress in your career in what is mostly a corporate world that seems to celebrate and value extroverts, I would love to invite you to my 1:1 coaching programme – Embody Your Authentic Self. 

Embody Your Authentic Self is a 6-month journey where you will develop the confidence to showcase your talents and skills, speak up in meetings and ultimately feel more energised, motivated to progress in your career and love your job once again.

If this interests you, I’d love to invite you to schedule a discovery call with me. I look forward to connecting with you!
