In this episode Emma is joined by Nevena Spirovska to talk about Communications and Advocacy in the public sector and what she’s learnt on her career journey to date.

We get insights into her time working in Politics, firstly as a Campaign Director for her candidate and subsequently as their Communications and strategy Manager. Her take on how she approached reactive and proactive comms, how much control you could have over the narrative and how she dealt with the occasional crisis situation she faced. 

We also talk about her time as the Public Affairs Manager for the Victorian County Court during the George Pell trial, and what she learnt from it. Nevena now spends her time working in the not for profit sector whilst also investing time in advocacy and volunteering.

We also talk more broadly about purpose based work and how other people might bring that sense of meaning into their own work or lives.

This was a fascinating conversation with someone who has packed an incredibly diverse range of experiences into their career thus far. 

A huge thank you to Nevena for taking the time to chat with me and share her experience.
