We are so proud and excited to be partaking in @mg We are so proud and excited to be partaking in @mgomd ’s brand new initiative! "Designed as a two way mentoring programme, over three months the pairs (of students and industry professionals) will share experiences with each other to provide new perspectives. Aiming to equip untapped talent with the skills to break into the media industry, whilst at the same time allowing those currently working in the industry to understand the current entry level climate for job seekers." Thanks @mattmint and @dan.caven for pioneering #change! Here is what Matt, Exec Director says about the initiative: “Looking at the under-representation of some groups around the industry, it’s clear there are barriers that exist to them finding roles and succeeding in them. Whilst these might not be physical or intentional barriers they are still standing in the way of us achieving our vision of an agency open to all, attracting and retaining diverse talent. As part of the industry, MG OMD acknowledges these barriers are present within our own agency, and as a leader in the industry we are committed to identifying and removing them. This programme is just one small step in the right direction when it comes to making a change here.” #changemaker #sparkchange #inclusion #diversity #dandi #mentoring #mentor #inspire #advertising #adland #creativeindustries
We want to say BIG thank you to another one of our We want to say BIG thank you to another one of our awesome coaches, Jo Williams, who has taken the time to coach our 2020 cohort. Jo has been wonderful with our students, helping them to connect to their strengths and the value that they as individuals will be bringing to future employers! This phase of our BFS programme is KEY as it gives our students the confidence in themselves to put into practise all they have learned! Thanks SO much for your time and energy, Jo! Here is a little more about Jo: After working in HR and Talent for nearly 25 years, Jo set up her own coaching and HR consultancy practice, CoachPath in 2019. She now works with organisations and individuals providing executive/career coaching with a strong focus on supporting women and parents. Jo does however really enjoy coaching a broad range of people at different stages in their life and career. Most recently, Jo has been doing interview coaching. Jo’s approach is calm, supportive and pragmatic, focused on clear outcomes and goals for success. She is super passionate about helping people to connect with their personal values and to develop a greater sense of purpose and sense of direction. #coaching #changemakers #talent #sparkchange #inspiration #mentoring #adland #changemaker #inclusion #diversity

Lynette Murphy is one of our founding members and Lynette Murphy is one of our founding members and has been absolutely crucial to the growth of Brixton Finishing School! Her ability to make our students feel comfortable and to help them to have faith in themselves and their own abilities has been one of the key drivers of success for our cohort. We are so grateful to have such a passionate and talented coach on our team! Here are some of the things our students say about @ellemurf! "Lynette has a very calming and approachable energy that makes it very easy to talk to her and ask the silliest questions. Her coaching has helped me get over the anxiety of posting and putting myself out there on social media. As a consequence, I now actively engage on LinkedIn and Twitter and have made loads of meaningful relationships. I am extremely grateful for all her guidance and support." - @muskaan.razdan "Lynette's coaching was such a great way to start the BFS course! It let us get a headstart with our social presence in ways I hadn't ever considered before and this meant I was ready to use it throughout the course and in my future. It was a really great way to start getting our names out there and making sure we were connecting with the right people" - @laraeyre Thank you, Lynette! You are a star! #changemaker #talent #youngtalent #brixtonfinishingschool #graduates #advertising #marketing #coach #coaching #motivate #inspire #diversity #dandi #inclusion

Students from the ace @BrixtonFSchool talk about how adland can be more accessible, inclusive & respectful. This issue's been going on since I was starting out [23,000 years ago] so when will we as an industry start listening rather than pretending to. https://tinyurl.com/y3xkw386
