With a background in marketing and PR, it was when Lindsay went into internal comms in a large Dutch oil and gas company. She soon realised that communications within large firms were complex and surrounded by a sea of fog. This resulted in their people not being on the same page and feeling a sense of ambiguity. This desire to create clarity, confidence and community in organisations led her to create MirrorMirror. Show Notes: 2.30 – Lindsay and MirrorMirror – 05.00 – Defining misalignment - 8.45 -

By her own admission, Carole Ann’s career is a bit of mixed bag. From a degree in Applied Languages and Business to the Diageo Graduate Programme and on to a number of sales and marketing roles. A spate in ad agencies followed before Carole Ann moved to Coca-Cola where she headed up experiential marketing before becoming Head of Digital. She left Coca-Cola in 2013, having become unwell herself, and turned instead to leadership coaching and then to mental health and wellbeing coaching. In 2018
