Ep.29 From Policing to Close Protection and Security Risk Consultant with Alecia Emerson-Thomas

From Frontline Policing to Close Protection and Security Risk Consultant This week's guest is a former response and beat officer and mum of 3, Alecia Emerson-Thomas. Alecia talks us through her career and also talks about the impact of living with someone who is suffering from complex PTSD. This alongside being a mum and significant work pressure, caused Alecia to suffer mental health challenges herself. A lack of flexibility from her force when returning from maternity leave, made her decide to leave and she has not looked back. Since leaving, she's featured on Sky 1's, 'The Heist,'. she's a radio presenter, podcast host of 'The Wild Ones' podcast and is a 'ninja level' networker and in this episode, she gives an absolute masterclass on how to expand your network, particularly on LinkedIn. She's also a qualified Security Risk Consultant and Close Protection Operative. Alecia has suffered significant personal tragedy and challenges but has not let this define her and she has such an inspiring and brilliant story to tell and if you're not sure about networking and why it's so important, you'll get loads from this.
