Ep089: Why and how good communications skills will make your entire life better, personally and professionally, with creativity campaigner Beth Collier

Beth Collier believes that when you improve your communications skills, you’ll improve everything. Your performance. Your relationships. Your life. And she helps people do that. She even has her own special acronym to help people get their messages out more effectively – PACE. She's a curious creative soul whose curiosity has led her on many different paths and to many different countries from working in TV in Hollywood to, now, campaigning for more creativity in the financial services industry. She’s also a massive advocate of supporting other women. In fact, to that end, Beth and I are hosting a Zoom call 2nd December bringing women together to brainstorm creative ideas of how we can support each other more, and get more female stories being told and heard. Given how much female voices are drowned out by males, especially where it matters (did you see the sea of suits at COP26?!) this is something we both feel very passionate about. DM me, or email [email protected], for details! The more the merrier! For more on Beth: Website: www.beth-collier.com Her newsletter, Curious Minds: https://bethcollier.substack.com/ Beth has a program called Creativity for Business for corporate clients to show them that creativity is not a skill reserved for artists. She's about to launch a new workshop tailored for Internal Communicators (called Creativity for IC).
