Ep36: How to survive Q4, from parties to workload

Davina Barker, Sales Director at DCM, gives both clarity and good vibes in this relatable and uplifting conversation.

Davina discusses how family life can be a stress as well as a joy; how to reframe work to your children to get them engaged in the joy of having a job; and why and how she and DCM are such great supporters of NABS. As a previous Campaign 40 Over 40 winner, Davina also gives her take on ageism in the industry and how adland could open up even more to older cohorts. 

Key takeaways:

• A mental wellness challenge doesn’t have to be a huge event – it could be managing the ongoing demands of family life.
• Reframing work as an escape from challenges at home can be healthy and helpful – you don’t have to have all of the answers, all of the time, and your brain needs a break to come up with creative solutions.
• Be wise about which events you’ll attend in Q4 – a strategy is everything to help you use your energy and time well.
