Listen "Vicki Galloway-Place: From Classroom to Center Stage"
Episode Synopsis
When Vicki Galloway-Place swapped her UK classroom for the high-stakes world of events, she stepped into a career that would push her creativity, leadership and resilience to the limit. In this episode of EventNewsDXB, Vicki shares her journey from drama teacher to theatre director to events producer and the hard-earned lessons learned along the way.Vicki talks candidly about the industry’s “say-yes-and-make-it-happen” culture, the balancing act between creative vision, production realities, and client demands, and the burnout it can cause. She also opens up about navigating gender bias in events, mentoring the next generation of women leaders and why setting boundaries matters for both career and family, especially as a single mum.It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about finding your voice, standing your ground and changing the conversation in an industry that doesn’t always make space for you.EventNewsDXB is supported by -45dB Production Credits: Presented by: Ian CarlessStudio Engineer & Editor: Roy D'MonteExecutive Producers: Ian Carless & Joe Morrison Produced by: EventNewsDXB & W4 Podcast Studio Support us!
