The Geeks have Inherited the Earth: A Tale of Privacy Cosplayers

Serious Privacy

Send us a text

Privacy professionals as cosplayers - maintaining a sense of identity away from the hectic life of a privacy professional or managing stress in a healthy direction? In this episode of Serious Privacy, we move away a little from data protection and over to the broader right of privacy. The right to be left alone, or the right to ensure you can be whoever you want to be, without your choices coming back to haunt you for the rest of your life.

Join Paul Breitbarth and K Royal as they talk about cosplay and the various underlying elements with two guests, Ralph O’Brien and Marie Penot - two European privacy professionals with their own love of cosplay. They discuss such topics as managing stress and staying true to oneself, which should always be a career consideration, but also making personal connections, pitching job proposals, and livening up training sessions.
