Hello Bright Minds, today I’m talking to Francesca Woodhouse who is the MD of UK Workplace Advisory at Edelman and mother of four children. She works full time and is married to Lewis who also works full time as a Head of Communications. You’re going to hear Francesca talk about: 

• The need to proactively managing your career.
• Moving between freelancing and employment.
• Key habits that support working full time and caring for four children.
• The difference having a true partner at home makes to your life.
• Francesca’s experience of being a disgruntled middle manager.

Before we glide into the conversation with Francesca, three thank yous to listeners who’ve left a review of COMEBACK COACH on Apple Podcasts since the last episode:
