Building Better Cultures


Hosted by Scott McInnes, founder of Inspiring Change, we talk to guests about how really good internal comms, engagement and leadership all contribute to 'Building Better Cultures'. We tend to shy away from theory and focus more on really practical advice, great stories and best-practice.

Please listen, like, share and comment - I'd love to hear your feedback.

By her own admission, Carole Ann’s career is a bit of mixed bag.

From a degree in Applied Languages and Business to the Diageo Graduate Programme and on to a number of sales and marketing roles.  A spate in ad agencies followed before Carole Ann moved to Coca-Cola where she headed up experiential marketing before becoming Head of Digital. ​

She left Coca-Cola in 2013, having become unwell herself, and turned instead to leadership coaching and then to mental health and wellbeing coaching.  In 2018 she founded I am Here to help organisations put people and mental health at the heart of their cultures.  She's also a former Irish Rugby Captain.
