S2 Ep58: Data & Transformation Strategy Leader - Jennifer Clarke
35m · PublishedPrepare yourself for a wild ride! This week we are joined by the incredibly exuberant, Jennifer Clarke, Data & Transformation Strategy Leader.
Taking us on her creative journey, Jen talks about starting out in printmaking before discovering her love of data when doing her Masters in Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburg. On graduating, she moved into an Operations Analyst role before landing a job as Digital Strategist & Product Manager whilst simultaneously moonlighting in a freelance capacity, as Strategy Consultant for the banking, health and retail sectors.ย
She also shares her experience at 'career transformation' event she recently attended, where she had to visualise a year before her own death to determine what was important her. Scary?! Yes, but she discusses how it completely reinvigorated her desire for change, prompting her to consult with her own personal board (made up of friends, peers and mentors) to work through ideas and thoughts on her next career move. An exciting year ahead by all accounts!
Jen's positivity and humour are energising - enjoy!

S2: Welcome to Series 2 of Greater than 11%
50m · PublishedWe are super pumped to be back with Series 2 of Greater than 11%.
A few changes since we took a break at the end of September, all of which we cover in this episode but first and foremost we have tweaked the format a little.ย
The beginning of every month will feature a panel discussion with Renee Vaughan Sutherland, Crystal Eisinger and a special guest. In between, Renee will still be interviewing awesome women about their creative careers and roles.
This episode was intended to be a warm and short 'hiya we're back!' but impassioned conversations bubbled up covering inequality, unequal pay and things got political - which is not surprising in the current climate.
Ursie Downes is now the shows fabulous producer and in the coming months will also be involved in interviews and panel discussions.
It is great to be back!

S1 Ep52: Composer - Hannah Kendall
56m · PublishedFor our final episode in Series 1, we are joined by the incredible Composer, Hannah Kendall.
Hannah discusses her early start in music: learning to play the violin at four years old. She shares how her love of all things music grew throughout her childhood and in her teens, she would go to the library each Saturday to loan Bach CDs.
She confesses that she had never considered composition as a career, as she had never known or been taught about any women - or women of colour composers at school. She muses her career path as a result of an admin error when she was at university, which meant that she had to take an 'extra' class to make up her points to ensure she could graduate and it was in this class - 'composition' - that she found her calling.
Hannah talks about her process; starting off with graphical representations of how she sees the music taking shape (this fascinated me) and the anxiety involved with starting a new project.
Hannah 'keeps it real' whilst I consistently try and romanticise her creativity and talents in the interview - I have to be honest, I'm still in awe at what she does and creates, I mean just listen to her music (link below)!
You can learn more about Hannah and her work here: hannahkendall.co.uk
You can listen to her incredible work here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylxPYatC3w0
(& youtube for more).
This concludes Series 1, thank you for listening and we will be back on air within a few short months.

S1 Ep51: Costume & Set Designer- Sophie Thomas
51m · PublishedThis week's guest is the gracious Costume & Set Designer, Sophie Thomas.
Sophie shares, after careful consideration, choosing a creative path over following in her family's vocational footsteps and becoming a 4th generation Doctor Thomas.
After completing an art foundation Sophie chose the costume and set design course at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, realising it would give her more practical creative skills than an art degree. She discusses her love of collaboration within set & costume design and stresses the importance of the script to unlocking the creative imagination needed to take audiences on a journey within the theatre.
With set & costume design roles mostly being freelance, Sophie shares her experience and some of the challenges she has faced as a result. Juggling jobs, late payments and trying to pay the rent meant that she had to reassess how she viewed both her role and her values. She discusses that putting in place some boundaries ensures she is able to keep being creative, healthy and happy.
Sophie is articulate, thoughtful and wildly talented - a gem!

S1 Ep50: Events, Marketing & Communications Consultant & Founder - Emily Philp
27m · PublishedThis weekโs wonderful guest is Event, Marketing & Comms Consultant and founder of Flex Events, Emily Philp.
Emily shares her creative journey to discovering event management and her own surprise that she founded her own business. She discusses the importance of resilience and having a sense of humour; both when running an event but also in managing her company, 'because things will go wrong.'
She also stresses the importance of having networks, meeting people and connecting and gives her top tip for getting around the awkwardness that networking events sometimes exude, 'see it as going out to meet friends'.
She talks about the value of taking risks outside your comfort zone in your career and that by breaking down a focused leap into smaller parts boosts your confidence (and is also a thrill) when you achieve it.
It is evident in how Emily describes her career that she loves running events. Having witnessed her calm, creative expertise up close at Creative Equals' Rise event in May, I can definitely testify she is truly passionate and talented in what she does and how she does it.
