It’s an honor to welcome Chelsea Emery, accomplished journalist and highly respected editor, to In The Suite. Chelsea Emery is Senior Editor at Deke Digital, an expert news solutions company that powers national, business and trade news pieces with expert insights, data, and intuition. 

“Events are changing, media is changing, social media is changing,” says Chelsea. In this episode we chat about how to make it to that next stepping stone of life, channeling the “this too shall pass” motto during tough times, and the impact of news and information in an ever-increasingly tech-driven world.

Chelsea Emery’s resume is impressive not only because of her experience but because of the sheer variety—from accepting a role to work alongside a visionary founder and innovative, expert news engine known as Deke Digital, to running an award-winning trade news platform at FinancialPlanning, to teaching Japanese after living in Japan. 

“Walk through the open doors. They're there all the time, and you don't necessarily see them,” Chelsea says. Perhaps that’s how she shifted and steered her roles over her career, with eyes and ears open, always listening for that soft whisper of the winds of change, and opportunity.

As you’ll discover in this episode, Chelsea has the magic of movement, of keeping her eyes open to undiscovered opportunities, and then charging right into the door to absorb what awaits.
