Mildred Talabi Speaker | Enterprise & Careers & Women

Mildred Talabi

Inspiration, motivation and equipment for work and business

Mildred Talabi specialises in three areas: finding a job, working in the media, and starting a business.

Mildred believes that the key to a fulfilling work life is to connect who you are with what you do and is therefore passionate about helping young people achieve this in their own lives – whether in business or as an employee.

As an Enterprise Ambassador for Lambeth Council, Mildred’s own career portfolio is diverse – ranging from professional journalism and editing (writing for newspapers including The Guardian and Sunday Times Culture magazine), to CV consulting and training, and running the award-winning healthy eating business Raw Love UK which she co-founded with her husband in June 2009.

Her first book, “7 Keys to a Winning CV: How to create a CV that gets results”, was published by Harriman House in September 2011 and provides the foundation for her popular CV writing seminar and workshop programmes.

Mildred is a lively and engaging speaker who will inspire, motivate and equip your students to raise their aspirations and fulfil their personal career goals and ambitions.
