In this episode Nicky shares how she navigated her way through imposter syndrome to become one of the most successful creative leaders in her industry.
How becoming a mum changed her perspective for drive and success.
We also explore how creative people have all the skills to run businesses yet there are not many taking on this role and what could be stopping this.
So many insights and wisdom on being a leader and what you can access when you step into your courageous zone.
Nicky was the first creative woman to become chair of a UK marketing agency, that being the multi award-winning MRM in London, and has just been promoted to Chair of MRM Europe. Creatively recognized across nearly all the major shows, Nicky thinks she’s probably worked across every media and sector - but direct and digital are where her heart lies. She’s been writing professionally for 30 years and despite running a huge operation, she also keeps her hand in writing and ideating as often as she can. She is a fierce champion of the customer and believes insight is all. She is also hugely passionate about effectiveness - it’s only great work if it works.
Nicky says that the campaign of her career is the one we’re all living right now, the campaign for equality.
