Rachel offers practical advice on working with a younger cohort and the advantages of leveraging corporate programmes designed to help people who have taken a career break.  Listen to learn Rachel's fascinating career so far and gain insight on how to manage career breaks and successfully return to the office after a long absence.    Find Rachel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-escott/
