You’ve spent years leading communications. You know how to shape a message, manage a crisis, coach leaders, bring clarity where there’s chaos. But what if all that experience was just the beginning — and your next chapter looked nothing like your current one?

In this episode of Dear Comms…, we talk to Jocelyn Penque-Saunders, a former global comms leader who walked away from the corporate world to become a dating coach. Yes, really.

We explore:

• How comms skills — from storytelling to audience insight — transfer far beyond the boardroom
• Why identity and purpose matter more than job titles
• What it takes to leap into something new

Whether you’re feeling restless, burned out, or just curious about what’s possible, this conversation is your reminder that there is life after comms — and it might be somewhere completely different to what you imagined.
