Got a question for The NABS Podcast?

Davina Barker, sales director at DCM, gives both clarity and good vibes in this relatable and uplifting conversation.Β 

Davina discusses how family life can be a stress as well as a joy; how to reframe work to your children to get them engaged in the joy of having a job; and why and how she and DCM are such great supporters of NABS. As a previous Campaign 40 Over 40 winner, Davina also gives her take on ageism in the industry and how adland could open up even more to older cohorts.Β

Key takeaways:

  • A mental wellness challenge doesn't have to be a huge event - it could be managing the ongoing demands of family life.
  • Reframing work as an escape from challenges at home can be healthy and helpful - you don't have to have all of the answers, all of the time, and your brain needs a break to come up with creative solutions.
  • Be wise about which events you'll attend in Q4 - a strategy is everything to help you use your energy and time well.
