Ask me a Q

Hello and welcome to the first episode of season three of Comeback Coach, the podcast for people returning to work after a break.

Sally Williams is a journalist at ITN who presents the weather and reports for ITV London News. She returned to work after her third child and having had a career break in the US when her husband’s work for ITN took them there. She got a call from her boss when her daughter was 4 ½ months old asking if she’d consider coming back freelance one day a week. She did and she’s now a permanent member of the team doing work she loves.

I had a big smile on my face all the way through my chat with Sally – she really is a born storyteller and entertainer and I think you’re going to love it.
