What if the most valuable skills young people need for life aren\u2019t the ones measured by exams but the ones developed through experience, self-awareness, and learning to work with others? In this episode of More Than a Score, we\u2019re joined by Tash Chapman, whose journey from school into people-focused work in HR and leadership (and now her work with Nissi Wellness) offers a powerful perspective on what really helps people thrive over time. Tash shares her experience of navigating school expectations, exploring different pathways, and eventually building a career centred on understanding people: how they think, make decisions, manage pressure, and grow. Through her work in HR and leading teams of people, she\u2019s seen firsthand that confidence, communication, adaptability, and emotional awareness often matter far more than a perfect academic record. This conversation is especially valuable for parents supporting young people who may be questioning their direction, feeling unsure about what comes next, or worrying about \u201cgetting it wrong\u201d \u2014 and for students who need reassurance that learning through lived experience is not a weakness, but a strength. (After all, success isn\u2019t just about outcomes on a piece of paper…or digital PDF!). It\u2019s really about becoming self-aware, capable, and confident enough to navigate change, wherever the path leads. In this episode, we explore: \u2022 Tash\u2019s experience of school and navigating expectations \u2022 How exploring different pathways builds clarity over time \u2022 What working in HR reveals about real-world success \u2022 The skills employers and teams value most \u2014 beyond results \u2022 Why self-awareness, communication, and adaptability matter \u2022 How parents can support young people without over-directing \u2022 Reframing uncertainty as part of growth, not failure This episode is for: \u2022 Parents of high school students navigating pressure and transition \u2022 Young people unsure about their next steps \u2022 Anyone questioning whether there\u2019s \u201cone right way\u201d to succeed You can learn more about Tash\u2019s work and follow her pathway at Nissi Wellness on Instagram: @nissi_wellness<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
