In this episode, I’m joined by my former colleague and friend, Joshua, as we dive into one of the hardest lessons you learn early in PR: doing the work isn’t always enough.
We talk honestly about what actually gets you noticed in the workplace, why being visible often matters more than just working hard, and how to navigate that without losing yourself. From shouting yourself out in the right way to finding an executive sponsor who’ll back you when you’re not in the room — this conversation is packed with gems for anyone trying to build a career in comms.
Whether you’re trying to stand out, speak up, or survive your first year in PR — this one’s for you.
