How do you secure a career in communications that takes you all the way to being offered Chief Exec if you didn't go to uni?
And how do you tell Sir Martin Sorrell that you want something other than the top job?!
In this wide-ranging conversation, Time to Think Coach Karen Moyes describes in hilarious detail her educational exploits including failing the 11 plus and being sent to an all-girls school; how being 18 and determined to prove people wrong is an incredible asset and why you should never be afraid to ask for what you want.
The second half of the interview is required listening for anyone who wants to know how to get on in business as Karen demystifies the 'Game of Work'; highlights the value of being thoughtful and purposeful about your career and explains why you should never, ever piss off the post room!
