H&S | CEO Elizabeth Harrison on The PRovoke Podcast
H&S CEO Elizabeth Harrison was recently featured on The PRovoke Podcast by PRovoke Media. The episode is titled Ageism In the PR Industry With Elizabeth Harrison, and addresses how the industry has always been faced with ageism and demographic discrimination of all kinds. PRovoke Media's latest data shows that in North America only 57% of PR agency employees believe the industry provides opportunities for those 50+. We’re proud of and grateful for Elizabeth shining light on this issue and talking through ways that we can all aim to create a better and more inclusive future for PR professionals everywhere.
“I would encourage any woman over 50 to own it. Own your age. Own your experience….You can walk into a room and own the room the same way a man can. If you have the confidence, you can be the most powerful person in the room.”
“You spend the first part of your career wishing you looked older and taken more seriously. People aren’t taking you seriously enough because you don’t have the experience. And then you spend the latter half wishing people would not consider you too old to do the job.”
