S12 Ep 6: From Hong Kong to Bristol through the world of PR: Sarah Woodhouse
When Sarah received a lower grade at A level – she describes it now as a ‘brilliant thing.’ It was thanks to this she studied PR instead of English at university and it opened up a whole world she loved. It’s taken her to Harrods and other big brands in the UK and then all the way to Hong Kong, when a trip to visit friends ended up in a 7 year stay and her own business.When she returned to England and to Bristol as a single mum, she didn’t think she’d be able to carry on with the world of PR, but how wrong she was. A coach asked her one question which changed the whole way she was looking at life, then she stumbled upon a little PR agency on a back street and her world changed again. Sarah is funny, modest and gives a wonderful insight into life in Hong Kong. She talks about the importance of mentors and she gives some brilliant advice at the end. (I’ve been using all her tips ever since!) But Sarah’s story is a story of women helping women. She shows it really is possible to create a life you love, even if it takes you in all different directions you hadn’t planned. This is a public episode.
