Yesterday I ran my very first TikTok for business online bootcamp - and I must say it was an absolute joy!

We were a small group (last minute drop out meant even more one on one time) and that made it such a relaxed and practical morning. Suzie Jacobs and Louisa Coleby were a joy to host.

In the 3 hour interactive session we talked through;
Setting up and optimising your profile
Understanding your audience
Filming and editing content
Coming up with creative ideas
TikTok Shop basics
The scary (not so scary after all) algorithm
How to use analytics to improve your content
And so much more - we could have spent all day going through everything!

The aim was for the attendees to walk away with a fully optimised profile, the skills they needed to create content and find their why, so they could post straight away. I hope they left with clearer strategies, fresh ideas, and the confidence to show up online. (I've already seen that Suzie has posted her first video and must admit it made me feel a bit proud!)

It’s really important to me to help women feel empowered to use platforms like TikTok to grow their businesses, share their stories, and show up by being themselves and being creative on the platform.

I hope I've taken away some of the overwhelm that TikTok seems to bring - part of the session was spent talking about it not being so scary and you really can't break it by testing it out! (A lesson for all parts of our business I think)

What a great first session and I'm hoping it is the first of many. If you're interested in learning more about the platform and how you can start posting about your business, comment or DM me and I'll put you on the list for future dates.

For the pic I made them get used to seeing their faces on screen so posting is less scary and they can show up as their fabulous selves!

You’re not alone - I hear this ALL the time when I talk about social media with business owners.

Wow wow wow. What a day at the Fearless Female Finance Festival.

I can sometimes leave networking events and seminars feeling really drained but yesterday I left feeling inspired, proud, almost joyous really.

First up huge congratulations to Karen Heap of and Jo Querelle. To come up with something so inspiring, based on what could be perceived as an inherently dull subject (I’m sorry finance people), and turn it around from “I’m dreading doing my accounts” to “I deserve to earn lots of money and here’s how I’m going to do it” is truly something.

The room was FULL of inspiring women and just being around that energy completely changes how you feel about yourself, your business and (obviously) your finances.

Big thanks to the amazing co host Sandra Godley, who facilitated the event along with Karen so well. All of the speakers were absolutely incredible, and I genuinely mean that. A big shout out to Dawn Owen who I hadn’t met before, but who put a rocket under me from the beginning of the day where we sat and had a chat, to her talk and the end of the day which left me feeling like I knew exactly what changes I was going to make. She really reminded me that a relationship with money is just as much about mindset as it is about numbers.

Events like this also remind me how powerful storytelling is - every speaker had their own story, and that’s what really connected with the room.

I hadn’t expected the day to be such a great networking opportunity (I'd thought seminars and lessons) but I met so many wonderful women – those who were brand new, those whose faces I recognised (but neither of us could work out from where) and those I already know. The conversations were great, and it was just amazing being surrounded by incredible people.

Huge thanks again to the organisers for creating such a powerful space, and to the speakers for sharing their knowledge. You’ve made such an impact.

Over the past few months, I’ve been working with The Leprosy Mission International to update and strengthen their crisis communications.

Together, we’ve developed a comprehensive Crisis Communications Guide that will be used across 27 countries, helping teams respond clearly, calmly, and compassionately when the unexpected happens.

It covers everything from safeguarding and reputational issues to natural disasters and media allegations. And it breaks down things like;
- Roles and responsibilities for everyone involved, with escalation guidance if key people are unavailable
- Step-by-step crisis response processes, from detection and verification to approval and post-crisis review
- Social media guidance, including tone, posting advice, and examples
- Plus ready to use templates and checklists with continuous improvement advice, so lessons learned feed into future responses.

The guide is practical and built to work in real life, not sit on a shelf.

I was brought in to ensure the guide works for their internal structure and teams, drawing on my experience as a journalist and in press offices. That means understanding how stories break, how tone shapes trust, and spotting early warning signs before small issues become crises.

It’s been a brilliant project to work on and it reminds me why I do what I do: I want to help organisations feel like they know what to do with regards to communications when a crisis hits.

If your organisation hasn’t reviewed its crisis comms in a while, it’s worth doing - before you ever need it, because who knows what's around the corner?

I love talking about TikTok - it’s such an underused business tool, and I’m always surprised by how many people still think it’s just for teens and dancing videos.

It’s actually one of the most powerful search engines out there (yes more so than Google), with huge numbers of Millennials and Gen X using it daily to find out information, new business and products. There’s so much opportunity for businesses to stand out - and I want to show you how.

That’s why I created my TikTok Bootcamp for Beginners, and it’s happening next Wednesday (12th November)!

This half-day, hands-on session will take you from “I know I should be on TikTok” to “I’m confidently posting content that grows my business.”

We’ll cover:
How to set up and optimise your profile (from downloading the app to choosing your username)
Content ideas tailored to your business and audience
TikTok Shop and selling directly through the app
Practical exercises and live feedback so you can post with confidence

If TikTok’s been sitting on your to-do list for too long but you really don't know what to do to get started - this is your sign.

It’s practical, friendly, and designed to help you feel confident from day one.

When: Wednesday 12th November, 9.30am–12.30pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: £80

Last night, I joined the launch party for Thought Leadership Challenge, a Zoom full of inspiring women in sparkles ready to share their brilliance? I'm in.

In a world that can sometimes feel like an echo chamber of style over substance, it was refreshing to be surrounded by women leading conversations. Wendy reminded us that true thought leadership isn’t about shouting the loudest - it’s about injecting deep thought into empty spaces.

We often feel – particularly as women – that we shouldn’t be talking about what we're good at – that it’s boasting, BUT (and I wonder if I can quote Taylor Swift in every post) as The Man points out – would people be saying this to me if I was a man? The loudest voices often know the least so I’d really like to change that and fill the noise with the value I bring.

A few things that stuck with me;

Women are still struggling to find their place as thought leaders and the way it develops is through curiosity. We are a life jigsaw – every experience we have from jobs, life experience, our interactions, is a piece. And at some point we need to build the whole picture, without knowing what the picture is on the top of the box.

Industries move on and are fluid – in PR especially, traditional media is being replaced by social media, so I have to keep learning and bringing the relevant skills (my jigsaw pieces) with me.

I am an expert in my field. When I think about my experiences – early jobs as a switchboard operator, recruitment consultancy and insurance sales – they were all about communicating. Add in my experience as a journalist in faced paced newsrooms, and as part of comms teams for national charities, you can start to see why my background lends itself to what I do.

“It’s not what you do, but the way you do it that gives you your edge.” No one does communication quite like me – with my experience I can spot a crisis a mile off and help organisations prepare. And whether you prefer short-form content or in-depth I help you find your voice and strategy.

The WAY I do things is special to me.

I feel so inspired and I can’t wait to see where the next 10 days takes me in growing my confidence.

I said that when I felt like my business was doing really well I’d start buying Taylor Swifts back catalogue on vinyl. And I didn’t just mean financially well - because I’ve been earning enough for a good while now - I mean when I truly believed I was a success at what I do.

I finally felt it today. For the last few months I’ve been working with an international charity to strengthen their crisis communications. And I’ve created a comprehensive Crisis Communications Guide that will be used across 27 countries to help their teams respond to anything that comes up - from safeguarding, natural disasters and media allegations. This morning I delivered an international familiarisation session for them, with staff from Australia to India, Nigeria to Northern Ireland and all those in between. Just to make sure they feel confident using their new Crisis Communications Guide (that I wrote)

I was so pleased with the positive feedback, the understanding of what is written and people looking to me as an expert in my field. The thing is it all came so naturally to me - and I was able to explain it to them really clearly. They’ve gone away knowing what to do - and I made that happen.

I realised: this is exactly what I’m meant to do.

And to mark it - I’ve bought my first two of the Taylor Swift albums to celebrate. A small but tangible reminder that I’ve earned this. I rarely shout about what I do - just couldn’t help myself today.

I’m amazing. (And so is Taylor Swift 🥰)

P.S How expensive is vinyl nowadays???

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Womens Business Support Network meeting in Rugby, hosted by the lovely@foodfreedomfairy Jenny McDonald, all about one of my favourite topics… TikTok.

I love talking about TikTok because it’s still such an underused PR tool. Did you know it’s now a more widely used search engine than Google? Or that its biggest audiences are Millennials and Gen X - not just Gen Z as many assume? Businesses are using it to grow every day, and there’s so much opportunity for brands to stand out.

In my talk, I covered everything from finding your target audience (and yes, if they’re not on TikTok, that’s totally fine!) to what kind of content works, and how to start creating videos that feel authentic to you.

The best part? The questions afterwards! It was brilliant to see how many people were curious and ready to learn more about how TikTok could work for them.

If you’re one of those people thinking “I’d love to give it a go, but I don’t know where to start,” I’ve got two upcoming sessions that might help:

TikTok Bootcamp for Beginners – a half-day, hands-on session to help you set up your account, create content and start posting. If you were at the Socially Shared meeting you can use your special discount code to get £10 off

I was going to launch a new product today but I there' no point trying to shout into the void when the entire internet is talking about one thing: Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl. Today is exactly the kind of day you’d hide a bad news story or pause any other brand launch – nothing else will get attention.

I’m completely envious of the PR and Marketing teams that get to work on something so incredible. The creativity, the planning, the fun of building a campaign that has the whole world guessing.

Taylor is the master of breadcrumb marketing. She drops a colour (TS12 orange - brands trend jacked instantly) a lyric, a visual - and suddenly fans are doing the work for her.

Even I’ve been playing detective 🕵‍♂️ the journalist in me is fizzing. I'm convinced some of these songs are Reputation vault tracks. I can see all the links, and that “Thank you for the lovely bouquet” line? You’ll never convince me it’s not about Kanye. Do I have the research and receipts? (I really do - see the pics!)

Here’s what we can learn from her as comms people:

- She turns every album into a moment, not just a release - complete with cinema listening parties, brand trend-jacking
- She controls the narrative with drip-fed content that keeps people talking.
- Fans become part of the story - Easter eggs, hidden visuals, theories.
- Unexpected channel choices, like Travis Kelce’s podcast, make it unforgettable.

By the time this post goes out, the album will have dropped and she’ll have appeared on multiple national UK radio stations to talk about it. I’ll be at the listening party in the cinema tonight, and I’ll probably spend the rest of the week analysing Easter eggs like it’s my job (because in a way, it is).

And the magic of it is she blurs the line between fan obsession and strategic comms masterclass. Her strategy is designed to make people like me (and millions of others) want to play detective. That’s not just hype - that’s brilliant PR.

Whether you love her or not, you can’t deny Taylor Swift has the best marketing in the world right now. And the rest of us? We’re just taking notes… and waiting for a day when our launches don’t feel invisible.
