This episode explores the question of what drives happiness at work and how a big part of this is being accepted and valued by others for who we are as individuals. But that’s easier said than done particularly in large teams and organisations where we’re just one of many, or where fast-paced environments and high pressure workloads don’t allow much time for unhurried conversations.

My guest Carolyn Stebbings sits on the UK Executive Committee at RAPP UK, a global creative marketing agency where she also leads the Operational Excellence team and the Diversity Equity & Inclusion agenda.  Carolyn is a Fellow of the Institute of Data & Marketing, has been on Data IQ’s Top 100 list 9 times and has been recognised as a ‘Leader in Kindness’ Leading Light. She also co-chairs Omniwomen, Omnicom Group’s community of senior female leaders, and sits on the Global Advisory Board for Women in Tech. Carolyn describes her purpose as ‘to help those from marginalised groups be the best version of themselves’.
