If we want others to openly talk about and share insights from their Comms careers on the podcast, we felt it only right to start by sharing our own. Listen in as a fly-on-the-wall to the two of us reflecting back on the key moments in our careers, with humour, insight and advice thrown in for good measure.
We hope you enjoy the very first episode of The Comms Careers Podcast. Why we launched the podcast: After a chance LinkedIn comment back in 2022 connected us, we began collaborating when we discovered our businesses, values and passions are aligned. The podcast is an exciting new offering borne out of our shared mission to support others in their Comms careers and give something back to our profession. We want it to feel inspiring and empowering to listen to, to encourage people to face their career challenges head on, pluck up the courage, believe in themselves and follow career paths that light them up, no matter how different from the ‘norm’ they may look.
