Where did your vision come from?
Where did it originate?
Well, I started my career in the investment banking
and technology and executive search sectors in London,
working for listed companies.
And I think by the time I got into executive search,
that really switched it on.
And I got to understand how organizations work,
how careers work, how people work, how leadership works,
and how cultures work.
And met thousands of people during the course of that time.
And it really inspired me,
because so many people have everything they need,
but somehow are missing the mark.
Something vital is missing, some connection to,
today I guess we think of it as purpose and meaning,
some sort of alignment to your first question,
which is, what is your vision?
And I think that we're all so hectic,
we can get lost in the noise of life.
And every now and again, sort of put our heads up and think,
gosh, why am I doing what I'm doing?
And I witnessed that so many times,
it really ignited a fire within me
to help people to find that,
what I think of today as a golden thread.
So you're hoping to be that sort of,
what is it, like a lighthouse pointing a direction,
trying to give them more of a direction.
And perhaps, yeah, I think kind of a catalyst for change,
and it's not so much a hope, I've been doing this,
I've had my business for 19 years now,
and worked with amazing people around the world,
across the sectors and in lots of different cultures.
And I think that what business needs from us today,
is different to last year or the year before.
And the ability to actually stay agile,
both in our thinking and emotionally agile,
is really probably one of the most important things
that we can develop for ourselves.
So it's how we think rather than what we think,
which kind of dictates the future
that we're building for ourselves,
our teams and our organizations.
