reWorked: the Workplace Inclusion Podcast
S2. Episode 1: Promoting Diversity in Planning with Victoria Hills
In our first episode back for 2019, Rachael talks to Victoria Hills, Chief Executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute, on her career journey and important lessons she’s learnt on the way.
Until April 2018 Victoria Hills headed up the UK's largest re-generation project in West London. She’s now Chief Executive of the Royal Town Planning Institute, the largest planning institute in Europe. Touching upon on the importance of role models, networking and taking a risk to get the career you want, Victoria reflects on the milestones in her career so far and the challenges of getting to the top as a woman. Whilst the field of planning is still largely dominated by men, there’s phenomenal change underway with more and more women entering the industry. But what can be done to ensure that the industry is as representative and diverse as possible? Victoria shares her insights not only on the barriers to diversity, but her tips you can adopt now to get the career you want.
