In the 1990s, a client of mine said something I wasn’t ready to hear. “I’ve never known anyone with so many connections and such a great black book. You should hold onto that and monetise it.” I nodded. I smiled. I didn’t really understand what she meant. This month, I finally did. How one podcast conversation has led to a cross party Parliamentary briefing with me and Munur Shah this month hosted by Clive Lewis MP. How one board seat has now led to a an extraordinary partnership I couldn’t have planned. And in a room of a thousand people, one young man stood up and quietly changed how I think about this whole generation. None of it was strategy. All of it came from people I’d kept in my life, for years, without ever asking for anything back. This month’s newsletter, “When Your Worlds Collide,” is about what happens when you build connection without agenda, and what it gives back when you least expect it.
