“Social media is brilliant in many ways, but the negative side is so destructive.

“When I started out in my Australian career, being a public servant was a recognised and respected job. Public servants and politicians had authority because the public gave it to them.

If you’ve spent any time in the engagement space, you’ve probably heard of Vivien Twyford.

In today’s Fan Girl Friday blog, Vivien talks to us about shunning the life expected of a woman who graduated high school in the 1960s. And how she threw in her typewriter in exchange for an MBA and starting her own consultancy.

Pre-social media, pre-internet and pre-engagement guidelines, Vivien shares how the engagement section grew, and talks to memorable projects in the 80s and 90s that she led NSW communities through.

So grab a cuppa, and enjoy as Vivien brings the history of engagement in NSW to life! ☕
