I don’t feel smug about many things, but when it comes to women I certainly do. I’m extremely lucky to have the most amazingly fierce, loyal and inspiring women in my life and I’m thankful every day for them.
A surprise bonus was joining VMA GROUP and recruiting for Internal Communications and Change professionals which, as it happens, turns out to be a predominately female industry. 70% of respondents to VMA GROUP’s 2018 Inside Insight report, which focuses on the internal communications sector, were female (up from 64% the previous year), and we believe this is a fair reflection of the sector as a whole.
In the six months that I have been at VMA GROUP I have met some incredible women who have achieved some truly amazing things in their careers. I’m often left in complete admiration after meetings with clients and candidates. To celebrate International Women’s Day, I approached a few of the women who have inspired me and picked their brains about what it’s like for them working in internal communications. Here are some of their thoughts – I hope you enjoy reading them:
What advice would you give yourself if you were just starting out in your career?
