MANON founder Jenny Simmons lays out the journey that took her from a position as a communications director at Nike to a new role as a mindset coach.

She explains how MANON moved from a women’s football content project to a career coaching platform for Black and brown women in the industry, and explores the role of stories in understanding professional identities. 

She also reflects on her time at Nike – including the arrival of the Jordan Brand into football with Paris Saint-Germain – and talks through some of the concepts and practicalities behind storytelling at the level of a globally recognised brand.
