This week our Founder and Director, Kathleen Alder was a guest speaker at the New Entrepreneur Foundation networking event. Speaking to the next generation of young, female entrepreneurs, Kathleen spoke of how and why she set up WildKat PR at such a young age, as well as the highs and lows of her journey along the way. Her first question was: ‘What gets you out of bed in morning?’ to which Kathleen told the audience that she jumps at the chance to change the industries she works in, hoping to change the world in which ever way she can.

Inspiring her audience, Kathleen spoke of the importance of ’surrounding yourself with happy people to create a happy successful environment’ and advocated employing the young and enthusiastic. Noting the gender of her keen audience, Kathleen really advocated that being a great businesswoman and having a family and relationships do not have to be separate entities, and that you can make possibilities out of what it is you want, if you truly go for it; with her top tip of the night being: ‘never stop taking risks as an entrepreneur’.

The talk is aimed to be a unique look at the stories that detail professional failures, but, with the twist of determining what the best practices were that eventually developed into success and reward. What were the vital takeaways that allowed for the eventual success of future business endeavors?

Kathleen formed WildKat PR at the tender age of 24, and, due to hard work and a passion for classical music and PR, the company has gone from strength to strength with international offices and some of the most prestigious clients in the industry.
