But a brutally hard year working in London forced her to confront a truth: she was in the wrong profession. That so-called “mistake” became the first step into a whole new world of creativity, storytelling, and leadership.</p><p>They discuss:</p><ul><li>How a chance encounter in a Kings Cross nightclub led her to advertising</li><li>Why kids make the best critics (and sometimes the best boardroom consultants)</li><li>The power of making decisions with your gut, even when it makes no sense on paper</li><li>Building trust to take creative leaps in large organisations</li><li>Why you should audit your life as often as your car</li><li>The leader who changed her career trajectory </li><li>The role other people play in helping you find your place, and why job descriptions are often BS</li></ul><p>This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, misaligned, or on the wrong path. Anna’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to pivot and that the best careers are often built on the boldest decisions.</p>","author_name":"Ashton Media"}
