Anita Howard / English / When Life Forces You to Begin Again

In this episode of Sensorship, I sit down with Anita Howard, founder of ICE, the global community for in-house corporate event planners. Anita’s career spans publishing, exhibitions, agencies, and entrepreneurship — but what makes her story stand out is not just her professional milestones, but the resilience, creativity, and kindness she’s brought to each chapter.

We talk about:

How a chance encounter set her on the path to events — and why the industry became her lifelong passion

The courage it took to leave the security of corporate life to launch her own agency (more than once)

How ICE grew from an idea to recognize in-house planners into a global community of 3,000+ members

The role of family support in overcoming impostor syndrome and building something bigger than herself

Why kindness, authenticity, and community are more powerful drivers of success than old models of competition

Anita’s journey is proof that success isn’t linear — it’s a series of leaps, setbacks, reinventions, and joyful moments of “we did it.” If you’ve ever wondered how to turn passion into purpose, lead with kindness, and keep your spark alive in a fast-changing world, this conversation will leave you inspired.
