Ally Owen is the rapid-fire and inspirational founder of Brixton Finishing School, the free course that develops underrepresented talent for adland. Ally shares her experiences of being an ADHD, working-class, single mum in adland to help elevate others and create a more inclusive industry, with our host Louise Scodie.
Ally is fun, intuitive and self-aware, describing her optimum schedule as 'that of a three-year-old toddler'. And with a host of industry accolades to her name, and hundreds of Brixton Finishing School graduates now building careers in the industry, it's clearly working well.
Key takeaways:
- Accountability partners can be helpful for ADHD'ers - you can even enlist a trusted friend to be this person for you.
- It's not enough to get underrepresented groups into the industry, we need to nurture them and get them into top positions.
- Knowing how to top yourself up is intrinsic to mental wellness.
