Jane Piper has very kindly shared a story with us about a move from a safe corporate role to independent consulting!
It covers the subjects of:
- Patience and Perseverance
- Get good advice
- Relationships REALLY matter
- Be bold
- Have Fun
A few points that resonated with me personally:
“Not everyone will like or agree with what you say. Don’t be sorry – that’s the point.”
“In an era of social media, being seen does matter.”
“As a thought leader your ideas are new and controversial, otherwise it’s not thought leadership, by definition.”
