It's not about appearing smart; it's about empowering others to develop their capabilities.

I understand the need to talk the same language as your audience but does it really have to come at the cost of our beautiful language?

The thing that angers me as a planner is having to spend so much of my time justifying why people should invest money in their brand.

The 9-5 mindset is so outdated. Measuring someone’s performance based on how many hours they’ve been in the office, will get you nowhere.

I was managing 9 staff and 250 rental cars with next to no experience, and I was shit at it. I was working ridiculous hours, running myself into the ground and hating life.

Immediately after my MBA at Manchester Business School, I joined a tech startup as an investor employee, investing £50k into the business.

I would like to see more media owners taking a stronger stand on whom they’re affiliated with through their advertisers.

I had little to no clue what I wanted to do with myself when I left school. My biggest fuck up is the time it took me to decide on a career.

We live in a cut-throat world so when at work, the primary focus should be delivering amazing work. I'm not sure the younger generation has worked that out.

Lessons learned: don’t be an arrogant prick, never show off, engage brain before mouth, and ALWAYS have empathy and respect for others.

Don’t cram your to-do list! Half of it is lower priority crap anyway. Do fewer things well rather than loads of tasks half-arsed.
