Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Personal Brand and Redundancy: What You’re Known For When You’re Not in the Room
Q: What are your plans for the near future in terms of personal branding and career direction?
She aims to expand into consultancy, help universities with assessment processes, and build a network of clients and collaborators while continuing to refine her personal brand and close skill gaps through collaboration.
Personal Brand and Redundancy: What You’re Known For When You’re Not in the Room
Q: What moment made you realize you have something to offer again, despite the redundancy?
When others in her circle began reaching out not just for casual chats but for potential opportunities, confirming that her value was recognized and that there was a demand for her skills in a formal setting.
Personal Brand and Redundancy: What You’re Known For When You’re Not in the Room
Q: Before your redundancy, how would you have described what you do, and has that changed since you've been navigating the redundancy process?
Her focus was on being an operations leader and the person at the end of the phone who could help with digital transformation, a role she values as essential to supporting others in the sector; redundancy didn't erase that value, it reframed how she presents it and where she can offer it now.
The Job Search Question That Matters More Than I Realised
Q: What balance advice do you have for someone who is juggling family life while job searching?
She advocates starting with flexible, real-world expectations from organizations, testing those expectations early, and using careful planning to decide what can realistically fit into the person's life.
The Job Search Question That Matters More Than I Realised
Q: How did you balance supporting yourself and supporting your co-workers and the people around you at the time?
Vicky explains it was about wearing two hats: supporting others who are also in transition while managing her own process, using empathy, structure, and shared goals to navigate the upheaval.
