Here’s me and Simon Sinek at an awards …in my dreams.

Our WHY:

“THE destination for digital pioneers”

GRIT���(passion + perseverance)

How many of you can think of a bad manager?

Hiring based on experience as a main criteria is often a mistake!

Meet Alex!

He’s had coverage from:

He is consistently OVER target!

Look for people that doesn’t accept the default!

That can solve problems and isn’t afraid to fail. And BELIEVE in them!

Reasons aren’t always what they seem..

I won 5 individual awards before I was 35

I started my own company at 31 (without any

funding or business partners)

Grown the business to 28 people, 2m Turnover

My agency has won 14 Awards in the last 2 years

IQ?

Upbringing?

Education?

Luck? Money?

I am dyslexic

My grades at school were; “meh”

I dropped out of university

My family was bankrupt (twice!) when I grew up

I had my first baby at 26

I started the agency in the height of the recession

I had my second baby in the first year of my

business

Oh and my IQ is totally average

100 people theory

HOW YOU THINK

The Monkey Ladder Paradox

YOU are NOT a monkey! Do not take on or inherit behaviors that you do not understand or want.

It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you are not. – David Brinkley
