IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT
· Ewan’s extremely diverse career story to date, having had numerous professions as a medical doctor, school teacher, investment banker, stockbroker and latterly a professional adviser in communications (both spoken and written)
· How Ewan’s longest career path so far has been in communications despite English not being one of his strongest areas academically
· The impact that nerves can have on anyone – as Ewan learned from a difficult experience during his wedding speech!
· Ewan’s belief that the infamous comment “You’re not ready yet” is used much more regularly regarding women applying for promotions, and in a much more negative sense
· “It’s absolutely important that you are yourself”: the importance of authenticity in communication coaching (particularly with females as they feel more pressure to pretend to be something they are not)
