With Kate, we learn how to clean up your mess on social media when you say the wrong thing. Hopefully none of you have experienced this, but a lot of important people with important jobs and a lot of audiences namely media companies, executives at companies have made boo boo’s on social media – so it happens. How does she recommend they go about repairing that? We also talk about turning a journalism degree into an entrepreneurial career and the challenges that come with teaching people, especially women, how to negotiate for more in the workplace.
