85: Meet Cara: A brilliant, talented Graphic Recorder (who works for mega corps!)...

Every now and then, someone comes onto my radar (through my ever-growing network), doing a job / with a career that is the epitome of why TWWork (and indeed 'This Woman's Work) was created.

As I said in my very first audio blurb (18-months ago now): We don't know what we don't know. So when we're looking to change jobs, or to start something new, we only ever have the information - and therefore the Google/Chat GPT search criteria - of what we know (so far) and who we know (so far).

But Cara isn't what we know, and I'd bet my house... Ok, I don't own it... Um... My Car... That 99.9% of you have never even heard of a Graphic Recorder.

... And I'm not about to tell you what one is now, because we have a whole section on the website for that kind of information, and the link to Cara's specific (career) write-up is below.

Instead I will tell you, that like most of our guests on TWWork, Cara went around the houses to land where she is, and to carve out the unique career that she has... A career that has seen her regularly deployed at the offices of, and/or in the presence of big tech players like Google and Microsoft, and big retail players like John Lewis.

She's been flown around the world and been put up in amazing hotels, in order to observe (and draw) meetings where the future of it all is discussed.

And as Chops jokes about in the chat, imagine (without all the legal NDAs) the book Cara could write (or draw ;-) with the information she's seen and heard over the years... The conversations she has been privy to.

But as Cara says, and with full credit to her solid Social Working career beforehand... She never draws and tells.

This is a good one, so enjoy.
