082 Jane Austin: Overcoming the Fear of Not Being Relevant
Show Notes

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Jane Austin, owner of Persuasion Communications.

In this episode, we discuss what it took for Jane to go from being homeless  with a 6-day-old baby to building and running a successful business and the mantra that keeps her going when things get hard.

As we age in today’s society, it can be scary to feel like you are no longer relevant. Jane also discusses this fear and how she has coped with it in her career.

Key takeaways include:

● There are a lot of women who need to look at their behaviour in the workplace
● Why we must give business training to creatives
● Why are women making conversations so personal
● Leaders need to be braver and share their point of view

Jane Austin is the founder of Persuasion Communications, a news-room structured
communications and content agency with offerings in London, Paris and New York. Jane has written three books on graphic design and has contributed to The Guardian, The Independent, the Daily Express and the Financial Times.
