We owe everyone around us two things: an offer of the strongest foundation possible and more importantly, the belief that they can reach a little higher. Curiosity, passion, enthusiasm and people are the four legs of my table and I relish sitting at it and workshopping the best way to change lives! It’s about passion - passion in your life that manifests in your personal relationships and your career. Sure, business is a science, but it’s also an art. Only through immersion does each element start to talk to you. If you listen carefully it tells you what it can handle and then shouts out what it needs. When this happens, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. All the businesses I have ever been involved in are an example of this. So many disparate products, concepts and ideas that need to come together. By approaching my work with reverence and pouring myself into it ... it begins to take on a life of its own and, dare I say it, I become very fond of my creations and proud of the teams I built and learnt from along the way. It's the impresario mindset of initiation and improvisation that lies at the heart of what i do and makes it so exciting.
