Joanne Howard

Academy alumni Kate was a Secondary Dance department lead who now works for the Diabetes Team within her local NHS as a Diabetes Educator. 
Working in the local community has allowed Kate to bring her enthusiasm and passion to a new role training others with the support of her clinical colleague. 

Kate describes her varied week and the tools that helped her make a successful transition. A really inspirational listen!

In this episode we chat about:

  • Knowing where to start when dance is all you know
  • Listening to the "Stay or Go?" session in her caravan 
  • Recovering from burnout and rebuilding her confidence
  • The NHS application process 
  • Her varied day-to-day and lack of Sunday dread!
  • A supportive one month induction process 
  • All the best bits about her role and new found balance
