In the first of our two part episode, Carolyn takes us through her first steps and challenging her perceptions of what marketing was all about, before moving to the US - and back again - while building a successful career supporting institutions including The University of Houston, Glasgow Caledonian University and the NHS, picking up on:

• Why curiosity is an essential characteristic
• How communications is often the 'universal translator' for businesses
• Learning to manage people and teams effectively

Part 2 will continue the conversation - picking up on Carolyn's experience in crisis management, what her role as a hiring manager can teach us as candidates looking to progress and why being a manager and leading a team isn’t the only option on the table if you want to progess.
