Über diesen Titel

If you’re trying to get your career back on track or you’re doing okay but know you’re meant for more, this podcast is for you.


Maybe you’ve moved countries, changed fields, taken survival jobs, or just feel like your work life doesn’t fully reflect who you are. You’re not lazy or confused—you’re just ready for something better and more honest.


I get it, because that was me. My career wasn’t a straight line. It was a mix of pivots, tough seasons, and quiet moments where I thought, “There has to be more than this.” Things changed when I learned how to tell my story, show my value, and build a career that actually fit my life—not the other way around.


I’m Olajumoke “Ola” Fatoki—career coach, HR strategist, and advocate for newcomers, women, and quietly ambitious professionals who know they’re capable of more.


On Thrive Careers Podcast, we have real, down-to-earth conversations about work, not just job titles.


You’ll get:


  • Practical job search and LinkedIn tips (with a simple, human way to use AI)
  • Support for career changes, moving countries, promotions, and coming back after burnout or a break
  • Honest talk about imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and finding your voice at work
  • Simple frameworks to help you grow, earn more, and build a career that works in real life—not just on paper



You’ll hear from career experts, hiring managers, and real professionals who’ve had to pivot, start again, or stretch into their next level. Together, we break down the mindset shifts and practical steps you can apply in your own career.


🔔 New episodes every week.

Hit follow if you’re ready to stop just “managing” your career and start building one that finally feels like home.

  • The Power of Documentation: Why Smart Professionals Still Get Overlooked

    The Power of Documentation: Why Smart Professionals Still Get Overlooked
    Feb 5 2026

    Ever walked out of a meeting feeling aligned… then a week later someone says, “That’s not what we agreed”? This episode shows you how to use documentation at work to protect your time, your workload, and your credibility—without sounding rude, petty, or overly formal.

    In The Power of Documentation at Work, we break down a simple, real-life system for capturing what matters in meeting notes, Slack messages, and follow-up emails—so decisions don’t get rewritten later and your contributions don’t disappear.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How to document conversations at work without sounding defensive (copy/paste phrases you can use immediately)
    • A 3-line meeting recap email format that clarifies decisions, owners, and deadlines in minutes
    • How to track a quick wins log so performance reviews and promotion conversations are easier (and less stressful)
    • What to write when priorities change—so you stay professional and protected

    If you’re early in your career, new to a team, or tired of doing “invisible work,” this is one of the simplest habits you can build to feel more confident and in control at work.
