Rosemary Thompson on Journalism, Communication, and the Art of Entrepreneurship
Born in Quebec, Canada, Rosemary Thompson grew up with two passions: journalism and music. Initially, she chose the path of journalism and spent 22 memorable years covering everything from the Met Gala to the tragic events of 9/11. But as time went on, Rosemary found herself faced with a difficult decision. Struggling to balance her demanding career and her family life, she was once again torn between her interests. This time, however, she made an unexpected choice. After over two decades as an award-winning journalist, Rosemary left her career behind to launch Artful Strategies, a full-service communications company where she can embrace her creativity and achieve real balance. In this conversation, Rosemary shares her experiences covering major stories firsthand, how she learned to break through the noise using clear and direct communication during her time in journalism, and the unique challenges faced by Canadians when it comes to pursuing entrepreneurship.
