Some slides to guide the careers conversation I had with some Year 11s. A bit about my journey and four key lessons: Find what you love; Failing is ok; Be open minded; You can't predict the future For further context and commentary on the interesting discussion that followed see: https://medium.com/p/59a5c43be620
