Theresa May's Brexit speech has received huge amounts of coverage. In what the Guardian calls the most important speech of her premiership so far, it says Mrs May will confirm the UK will leave the single market but insist the country wants to remain "the best friend" to European partners. Share Radio Morning's Georgie Frost was joined by Jack Sommers of the Huffington Post to look at some of the biggest political stories of the day.

Welcome to the This is Money and Share Radio podcast, brought to you in partnership with NS&I. This week we ask just how high the FTSE could go in 2017. With the New Year bull run still in full swing is now the time to invest or could the current record be too good to be true? Meanwhile the FTSE might be rising but the pound continues to slump to its lowest levels since the 2008 crisis. Good news for exporters at least whilst even Mark Carney’s admitting Brexit won’t be quite as bad for the country. So just where does all this leave the devaluing pound in your pocket? To find out Georgie Frost is joined by Editor Simon Lambert and Personal Finance Editor Rachel Rickard Straus. Also on this week’s agenda they look at the latest retail figures, Halifax’s statistics on first time buyers and the new powers allowing the tax man to spy on your online activity. This is Money is presented by Georgie Frost in partnership with NS&I.

We've been talking a lot this month about New Year's resolutions and people making changes for the better. Many of us want a new job to ensure that 2017 is a good year. But change can be scary- and research has found that fear and finances are holding us back from making a change. To find out more about switching careers Georgie Frost spoke to head coach at Careershifters Natasha Stanley and reporter Sara Macham who successfully made the switch to journalism.

In his new year speech, the labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he understands the lack of trust in politicians and the EU that led to the Brexit vote. Trust, in politics, economists and business, has perhaps never been such an important issue as it is today - nor indeed perhaps so low among the general public. But where has this lack of faith come from? And what can be done to get it back? According to my next guest it's not just our actions that can cause distrust- the language we use is as important. John Blakey is a CEO Coach and author of The Trusted Executive - Nine leadership habits that inspire results, relationships and reputation.
