How then influences now, DE&I, managing overwhelm and other stories

It’s always a pleasure to be part of industry commentary and speaking to Eloïse Clarke for Milk & Honey’s #UntickTheBox podcast was a particularly thought-provoking and enjoyable experience.

Eloïse’s relaxed manner and well-framed questions managed to tease quite a few personal details from me, which I wouldn't normally share.

The first part of our conversation revolved around why we choose the career we do and how that's often rooted in our past. That’s certainly been the case for me – and my background has been a big driver behind my focus on giving back and helping others up the career ladder. With reference to Socially Mobile, we then moved onto a discussion about diversity in the public relations industry and what other interventions are still needed.

My Free To Thrive work helps creative agency bosses, particularly parents, to manage overwhelm so it was great to also chat about this and share a couple of simple game changing exercises that everyone can use. Take a listen to discover my two key watchwords that I encourage clients to practice every day.
