Jeannette is joined by the one and only Sian Lloyd, who reflects on her incredible 30-year career in journalism, transitioning from law to radio and eventually to television.
Sian shares her journey of breaking into the competitive world of journalism, the challenges of being in front of the camera, and the importance of teamwork in broadcasting. She also discusses the impact of technology on journalism, the significance of personal branding, and the pressures of public perception
Sian explains why:
Transitioning from a law background to journalism highlights the importance of following one's passion.
Career paths can evolve through exploration and learning.
Successful journalism relies heavily on teamwork
The ability to remain calm under pressure is essential in both journalism and business.
Experience helps in managing unexpected situations, and understanding that mistakes can happen allows for better responses and adaptability.
In the media industry, how one presents themselves—through appearance and communication—can impact audience perception.
Feeling comfortable and confident in one's attire can enhance performance, whether in front of a camera or during a business presentation.
