Welcome back to our special podcast series, Careering.
In this series we speak with experienced leaders about the unexpected detours in their career journey. Speaking candidly about their experiences, our guest will inspire and motivate, offering advice and suggestions for how to re-route your career when it comes off the rails.
About our guest, Dale BryceDale Bryce is currently Director - Delivery & Commercial for specialist power & water consultants, Entura.
He started his career in public relations, working with Lloyds Register in the UK and later heading up communications for one of Australia's largest law firms, King Wood Mallesons.
He then took a seven year stint establishing and leading a global capability marketing team at Sinclair Knight Merz, which became part of the Jacobs Engineering Group - one of the largest engineering firms in the world.
Many listeners may also recall that Dale was once the President of APSMA, now ICON.
If you look at Dale's career path on LinkedIn, it's certainly impressive and at first glance looks flawless. But closer inspection shows a gap for a few months mid 2014 between leaving Jacobs and starting at Entura. We focus on this period for the podcast, where Dale went from running a global team and a business with 70,000 people to being without a role at all. How did he get his career back on track? This is Dale's story.
