creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas that protect the climate boost clean energy solutions and reforestation. interactive content to inspire people to take action google audience lean in series of global 3000 on t.w. and online. try try and try again and have some patience that's what one of my 1st bosses said to me i was always overly ambitious too eager to climb the career ladder before even knowing what i was getting into experience is the key and i'm still an eager beaver but i've learned that the 2nd time around can be so much better to leave your

comfort zone a comfortable job that you've had for years and back on something entirely new is not an easy decision a lot can go wrong if the experience can also be inspirational we met up with women who made a mid-life career shift sometimes right when they were at the top of their game. as van and i worked for a dax listed company i was responsible for personnel and organizational development worldwide as when she was a manager yes a stellar career with top pay but by her late forty's she'd had enough it's hard celeste i wasn't my maybe it had to do with my age and so you reach mid-life and wonder will it ever do anything else or will continue on this path. if i want to change the now's the time. many people feel trapped on the treadmill and just accept it and i decided not to accept it. she took a risk and opted for something completely new she now makes shoes for

a living. there are many who'd like to get off the treadmill former manager. sought professional advice while considering a fresh start that's where people like her glauber it's come in she's a careers adviser. i see what it's most people who come to me have some kind of business training they've got a degree in business studies or marketing or something like that and they were expecting things to be great instead they found themselves sitting 9 hours a day in some department doing charts or answering mails and thinking afterwards i didn't really do anything. about why next to my family. this is a class funded by a health insurance company. these office workers are doing exercises to relieve tension the woman leading the course has also been through a major career transition but in her case it wasn't voluntary. it was

a track and field athlete she holds the german record for long jump and has 2 and then picked gold medals. yeah the sydney olympics that was one of the best moments in my sporting career. when their last moments in sports are highly emotional. woman and. stark but even the best athletes can't go on forever finding a new career path afterwards can be tough spillover just. i think professional athletes are surrounded by a certain type of people who don't always have their best interests at heart and they're rather looking to bask in the glamour of the professional athlete. as we have a vision so it's important to look outside the swamp and seek advice from someone who has no vested interest in the kind of person you had for hey could like slow the transition was relatively easy she got herself a job working for the health insurance company which had approached her to do

commercial advertising with this one fin you have to find yourself. suited to. people or maybe more analytical. gradually you are just. now she spends her time helping others to exercise she's found a job that suits her. and child all the decision about whether to become an eye doctor or a pastor or a chimney sweep or a florist is the main instrument with which we shape our lives and wished i. worked with her hands rather than sharing meetings how work life has changed completely she underwent training with a certified shoemaker the 2 of them then went into business together selling tailor made shoes. she's managed to step out of her manager role now she speaks to customers as their shoemaker. it's quite differently i sit on the

floor in front of people i'm not addressing them across the conference table back then i definitely wouldn't have you such a personal or friendly manner. so i want to have colleagues think of how radical career change. decision i'd like to do the same but i can't take the risk or i can't do it for various reasons some people said she's crazy or that didn't say anything but i'd say the majority was a little envious of me why. does she think many would like to leave management. she took the risk and had enough savings to carry her. around says that with her new job she now feels a lot more free. will look through your history books and you'll soon find out that many inventions didn't quite work out the 1st time around. we would be thankful

that should be thankful that the great minds of the past didn't just give up after trying only once if they had then the world as we know it would be a very different place. german inventor of have is often called the father of the fax machine his idea was to break down letters in lines into a dot matrix and transmit them as electronic pixels by cable in 1929 patented his 1st prototype the has schreiber in 1956 he produced a functioning fax machine. but his partner the xenos company decided to develop tele printers instead it was only 2 decades later that japanese companies recognised the potential of facsimile machines for transmitting written characters . the fax wasn't the only invention to get a 2nd chance in 861 johann philip ice demonstrated the 1st electrical

telephone transmission the 1st sentence he spoke into the device the horse doesn't eat cucumber salad. crisis principle of converting the vibrations produced by sound waves into electrical signals was used by scotsman alexander graham bell in his version of the telephone. bell turned in the description of his invention to the patent office just hours before arrival his u.s. based firm bell telephone later 18 t. is still one of the biggest telecommunication companies in the world. and the computer that susan invented in 1941 not even i.b.m. chairman thomas j. watson believes such machines had a future he allegedly stated i think there's

a world market for maybe 5 computers back then computers were as big as a house and less powerful than chip days pocket calculators watson never envisioned today's computer driven worlds or predicted that many of them would be made by his own company in the 1980 s. i.b.m. was the world's biggest computer manufacturer. unfolding in inventions potential can be a slow process and they often need a 2nd chance well if you do make it all the way to the top and is sitting pretty on the board of a company for example enjoy it because it could be over with practically no warning whatsoever it's a long way to full for the top if you're an executive and it can hurt that's exactly why i. set up an employment agency called the boardroom he too was once fun it is current company helps fold back onto their fate. 'd close fair should give sucked executives

a bridge back to gainful employment. he works with people who are used to being the boss and dictating events. when they get the boot the psychological toll can be considerable as is. the ending a must it's not uncommon for the firing to be pretty rather brutal and not very respectful you have to remember that if this is not exactly a meeting that most executives are of keen to have really. good. fairford has lots of contacts in germany's corporate landscape that helps him to find jobs for his clients high level vacancies are rarely advertised and cold calling potential employers is considered very bad style. fairford starts by asking clients if they may share some of the blame for their dismissal i'm going to google but i only mention the the father of miss some people do use this experience to reassess and to reflect on what role they may have played in their departure the other kind of

manager doesn't want to engage in that kind of self reflection. they end up behaving the exact same way in the new company as they did in the old one out of 4 been busy like knock it out how. top executives often hear nothing but praise an idealization until they suddenly find themselves toppled from within their own ranks. but even deposed executives still manage to find new positions. for lack of experience always plays a big role and that can include having mastered situations that weren't always positive ones i would feel a lot of companies today face major changes so they want to see managers in their ranks who can deal with that challenge. he speaks from personal experience he was once on the board of directors of a major bank. his dismissal came as a shock but it was also an opportunity. to smear him i'm leaving

nothing but that little for the 1st time ever i gave serious thought to what i wanted to do with my life. if i hadn't been forced to make that change up i would never have had the opportunity to grapple with that question so in hindsight i benefited from what happened but to be honest i didn't feel that way at the time. i mean it's been stated. the kingpins in the corridors of power are often shielded from the trials and tribulations of their workforce while ruling over their fate. pride and praise come before the fall. of fall from grace for some is impossible to bad. it doesn't because such cases are extremely unusual but there have been instances where executives have been so troubled by the accusations leveled against them that they've wanted

to commit suicide. many of his clients say they were the last to be told of their own dismissal. it can be lonely at the top. by all appearances they were shipped until suddenly even their allies turned on them. leaving. them it was the one thing i often notice and not just with our clients is that many never get any feedback about their work either because that's not part of the company culture or because they're unwilling or unable to deal with feedback and they're not willing to believe they could ever make a mistake. close fairford has advised hundreds of clients helping most to find new high level jobs. at that point he says it's best to make it clear. and to focus on getting to know the new team.

while moving to germany was like starting all over for me so far away for an australian it was a whole new world a completely different culture to stop with i had to learn the language properly that wasn't easy and they didn't even let me continue working here as a journalist long story let's just say it was an absolute struggle authorities have loosened up the rules since then but it still is far from easy to have your credentials from abroad recognized he is the story of a man who came to germany from syria who at least didn't have to start from scratch . turn the kool aid arrived in germany 5 years ago with his diploma in his luggage. he and his younger brother had fled from the war in syria and he was hoping not to have to start all over again. coolly had already trained for a profession and wanted to continue working at. the site those annoying showing

a phone started with my trainee in 2009 and often working in this field have a sense. of smart training is in industrial mechanics and i worked there in a company that produced refrigerators. here. notorious works for a farm that makes vacuum pads. so the education he got in syria wasn't wasted. he loves his profession so he was eager to have his qualifications certified in germany but it wasn't easy he was sent from one place to the next it wasn't until he went to the chamber of industry and commerce that he got help. tubby's i wrote all my documents that just showed them. and they told me it would work out. in 2018 nearly 30000 people applied

to get official recognition for qualifications obtained abroad it can be particularly difficult for many migrants in germany or those who want to come here to work. i don't have course the whole thought of by one challenge in the recognition process is to figure out what the corresponding profession is in germany so the qualification can be recognised but if i'm from an on e.u. country then i need that recognition before i can travel to germany. germany is eager to get more so. skilled workers and companies like ours depend on migrant staff he's happy to have industrial mechanic cooley on his team. someone who's obtained the recognition like he has comes with a very different attitude with more self-esteem he's highly motivated to work here to learn more in his job and to learn a language that's very obvious with tarik. but it wasn't easy at

1st the syrian mechanic struggled to familiarize himself with the german machines but now he can work independently. if i can work all die so i can't just sit around at home. i've been used to working for my whole life and i've always kept working up to this day. earning a vocational diploma in germany has motivated the 26 year old now he's hoping to improve his language skills and get further qualifications and his job. we talked earlier about technology that got a 2nd chance but what about simple products like say plastic bags they're incredibly handy most of the time just for one use then they end up in the environment choking the oceans and landfills and taking centuries to break down but what if the plastic bag could be made from fossil fuels but a material based on plants and what if you could program it to break down when you

wanted to a researcher in bangladesh has come up with an alternative plastic bag aimed at addressing a major environmental issue. it looks like plastic it feels like plastic but it isn't it's a plant based product. you can make. this case. packaging materials that marketing material is good with getting material. shopping bags. and has spent years coming up with a substitute for plastic the raw material he works with is jute from which he creates a water soluble base he then adds a natural starch based binding agent. in one part.

because i'm not mentioning this chemical. and then we get this. final. product which can then be made into a full now con is hoping that his invention. will draw global interest. and baseball definitely back. he means golden in bengali this is if. you can see. morning if you could drop this if. you groove there to the people. but when you own this my finale. you see there is no drop of plastic here just like a party. after a while ash is all that remains. this is

a. land where probably more. like here. plant is the number one natural fiber grown in bangladesh it's composed primarily of cellulose the main component in sauna. moslem bed party is one of 3000000 jude farmers in bangladesh what he's harvesting now he only sowed 4 months ago. the climate in bangladesh is ideal for growing this crop which requires plenty of water heat and humidity and getting it to the jute fibers are found inside the stands and have to be separated from the rest of the plant. it's painstaking manual labor the whole family lends a hand. once again it's not been a good year for the farmer floodwaters washed away

a part of his crop and prices have dropped so he won't get as much for what he's managed to harvest. that we'll have to borrow money just to make ends meet. but his that was i have no idea what will happen alternately because jeered they tell me the government isn't buying much because demand from foreign markets is down so they don't offer us good prices but i have to sell it to them anyway. around 40000000 people in bangladesh make their living from jute either directly or indirectly at the sauna project could change their lives but. at the moment it's still at the experimentation stage. the government is funding the pilot production at this factory. but this new machine will soon be producing a tonne of so nearly a day but as yet there's been no commercial breakthrough and without further investors there can be no mass production yeah i guess. we see that maybe

somebody's going to call man. hall or because he does a lot of. i'm. his methods of manufacturing are a world away from the traditional jute processing underway in the halls next door this mill belongs to the state own to bangladesh juta mills corp. for decades little has changed here the methods of working have remained the same and jute sacks are still the main product. the jute industry is one of the biggest economic sectors in bangladesh but it's long been in decline the state corporation is mired in debt every year the government has to pour in money to keep it afloat.

at times workers have gone for weeks without pay. the bangladesh jute mills corp has its headquarters in the center of the capital dhaka here on an almost daily basis and mubarak can receive visitors interested in . today there's a delegation from a japanese company that can tells them about the advantages of this natural material. most important. if you want for 6 months. if you want one minutes we can make. this is the beauty of this thank you very much juju is not just any crop in bangladesh it's viewed as

a kind of national treasure closely linked with the state's founding and for many years its only export many here hopes on early could help breathe new life into the industry. history repeat itself. so has god in all. of what i understand than by. coming up as the number one in all exportable item for the levees. mark carney is certain that the time for the so not a bad has come the world is waiting for good green ideas perhaps one of them will come from bangladesh. now if you're thinking about starting all over again it might be a good idea to also think about your wardrobe and maybe rework that old suit my colleague says it doesn't have to cost the world.

here's one i hear a lot how do i get the most out of a cheap suit a very common problem. first of all never buy cheap buy the good stuff cheaply when it's on sale. but if this rather excellent piece of advice comes too late for you remember you can always reconstruct your off the peg purchase. let's get to work a cheap suit it's easy to spot plastic bottles are a telltale sign your tailor will be happy to replace them with proper buttons and a more interesting contrasting color like these you might even want to splash out on horn or mother of. and while you're at the tailor shop haven't check the fit cheap suits often to roomy so the fit all sorts of body

shapes you've gone to an expert have to tailor it to you. actually the jacket sleeves they're likely too wide. you want to see the light between your arms and torso and tragically most men wear their jacket sleeves too long should cuffs are an important detail give them at least a sentence. and try french cuffs always a bit classy and can take a boring suit to the next level go easy on the cufflinks though you're not in the mafia. maybe you are. what are you still doing here though taylor is way to go. that's it all made this week hope you enjoyed the show from the team here that made ok.
