Career Consultant, Public Speaker, and Career Relaunch® podcast host dedicated to empowering professionals to pursue more meaningful work. Contributing writer to Forbes & Fast Company. I cover personal branding, career change, and self-employment topics.
In 2014, when I was just getting started with public speaking, Warwick Business School gave me the chance to host a career change workshop for them at The Shard in London. Returning 10 years later to speak with their EMBAs about personal branding last week was a real privilege.
