Discussing the rise of the 'maxi-mum' on BBC and commercial radio stations including podcasts and webcasts for Heart, Capital and Clyde1, September 2009. The maxi mum is the new parent on the block, a woman with savvy spending habits both with her time and her purse. Move over yummy mummy, the maxi mum is here and she's happy, confident and content to be 'good enough' - who cares about perfection? There's more to life than looking good. See my short webcast about the rise of the Maxi-Mum (link to YouTube).
Feelgood
Economy, (NIVEA Body, June 2008)
I designed a 'complimentary coaching' workshop and worked with 29 women to
build their ability to give and receive compliments on behalf of
NIVEA Body
and Unity PR. It was a
really rewarding project that led to a series of live and pre-record
interviews for BBC regional radio stations and commercial stations across the
UK, discussing the link between complimenting and women's self-esteem and
confidence.
British Singles Time, (Dating Direct, March 2008)
I was asked to discuss the psychology of dating, confidence and flirting for
www.datingdirect.com in a short film
and series of radio interviews. Again, great fun and a pleasure to do.
