A little help from my friends: Life as a DPO
This talk explores the value of professional networks, trusted friendships and having people you can turn to when you don't have all the answers. Drawing on her own experience as a DPO, Audrey reflects on how those connections have helped her navigate imposter syndrome, build confidence and realise that none of us needs to do this job alone.
