Interview with Holly Tattersall
Holly Tattersall on Women in Digital, Embracing Salesmanship, and the Diversity Catch 22.
This episode features Holly Tattersall, Founder of Women in Digital and Digital Talent Co.
In this episode we talk about how Holly built her Women in Digital network across multiple countries and wha role that plays in supporting women develop their professional careers.
We also speak about the challenges Holly faced when starting her recruiting career and dealing with the stigma that comes along with working in such a field.
Of particular interest is the journey Holly went on when realising it is ok to ‘sell’ and in fact embracing the importance of sales without shame.
Holly is full of optimism and was a great guest for the podcast.
