If you live in the West Country, I’m pretty sure you already know Alex. She’s been a presenter on our regional news – first for the BBC and now ITV West Country – for many years. Before that, she was an actress. She loved performing at school, but it was a chance conversation with a careers adviser that changed everything.

Alex has done it all: stage acting, Playhouse Disney, Channel 5’s Brainteaser, voiceovers for Deal or No Deal, and so much more.

Full disclosure: I work alongside Alex as a TV journalist. She’s warm, funny, and makes everyone feel at ease – even on live TV. She’s a joy to know. And she believes deeply in listening to that little niggling voice we all have. She’s listened to hers, and she shares some wonderful advice on how you can listen to yours too.
