Ellen Scott's biography

At a glance

  • Acting Digital Content Director at Stylist Magazine
  • Creator and editor of "Frame Of Mind" a series on Stylist.co.uk all about mental health
  • Was the first to cover topics such as quiet quitting and bare minimum Mondays for online news sites
Ellen C. Scott is a journalist, editor, and writer, currently serving as the acting digital content director for Stylist magazine. Previously, she was the lifestyle and weekend editor at Metro, where she co-created and co-hosted the mental health podcast "Mentally Yours," which was shortlisted for a Mind Media Award. At Metro, she developed successful online content series such as "What I Rent," "How I Save," "Better Living," and "Getting Better," which focused on her experiences with OCD and depression, significantly increasing the site's traffic and reader engagement. Ellen coined the term ‘chronoworking’ and was among the first to address topics like quiet quitting and bare minimum Mondays in online media. She has a keen interest in work culture, career relationships, and finding satisfaction in professional life. This interest is evident in her discussions as co-host on Bruce Daisley's podcast, "Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat," and in her contributions to the "Working On Purpose" newsletter. In addition to her journalism, Ellen writes fiction and is currently working on a novel and several short stories.

Testimonials

I'd highly recommend Ellen as a speaker – Ellen recently spoke on our webinar which focused on the latest insights from our report discussing workplace trends, particularly job applications and what workers want from a new role. Ellen shared some fantastic insights on workplace trends and the evolving landscape of work having covered this as a journalist for a number of years. Ellen was engaging and was able to connect well with the audience, leaving attendees with valuable takeaways and things to think about. Ellen's passion and expertise on the subject would really enhance any event – online or in person.

Hays, Hays

Ellen's workshop for our Writers Programme on mental health feature writing was amazing. We really appreciate the thought and care she put into designing her session and sharing her expertise with young writers in an informative, easy-to-follow way. Ellen held the session brilliantly and has a warm presence, especially for an online session, and created a welcoming and safe space.

YoungMinds

Ellen sat on a panel of extremely inspirational speakers for Michelle King PhD's London book launch of 'How Work Works', held at law firm, RPC. The discussion focussed on the future of the world of work, the role and influence of AI and how we can futureproof workplaces. She formed a hugely valuable part of the panel, sharing her stories about stepping out of her comfort zone into leadership roles, her visions of the future of the workplace and the role of AI and technology within the workplace. Her insights were very engaging and brought a fresh and candid perspective that really resonated with the audience – she was quietly optimistic that we wouldn't be losing our jobs to robots any time soon! Ellen added significant value to the discussion, and she was a key voice on the panel. It would be a pleasure to chair a panel of which she was part of again.
