Delphine Chui on progressing and standing out in your career

The topic of this episode is how to progress and stand out in your career. As a community of ambitious women and men, career progression is important to us and in order to do that, we have to learn how to use our unique gifts and talents to stand out. 

To gain insight into how we can do this, we’ve invited Delphine Chui to chat with us. Delphine is currently the Branded Content Lead at Hearst UK, one of the UK’s biggest publishers which looks after publications such as Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan. 

Having worked her way up from intern, to features editor to branded content Lead, and now going freelance at the end of this month and focusing on her charity CareDogs, Delphine has had buckets of experience in how to grow her career.

In this episode, there’s lots of chat about dogs as well as some amazing practical tips on not only how she has established herself as her best version at work, but also the tools she’s using to make her charity stand out too.
