‘Much needed inspiration for those working hard to reach a position that matches their potential and their allies’ Ally Owen, Founder of Brixton Finishing School

You might not think, right now, that you have what it takes to succeed. But incredible things do happen when you believe. We hope this book will stoke your sense of belief in what it is you can achieve and the gifts you have the potential to give to the world.

Relentless in its inspiration, candour and warmth, A Colourful View From the Top is a vital anthology of twenty-one voices who are at the top of their game in business and beyond. Whether their specialism be advertising, tech, law or art, each luminary offers a unique and deeply meaningful collection of lessons and affirmations to draw upon time and time again.

Discover how they became influential figures in culture and corporate life; how their achievements haven’t been defined or limited by their race, gender or age; how sometimes the most fulfilling careers involve twists, turns and side hustles; how corporate success need not preclude social awareness.

For too long, we have needed a more diverse set of commercial and cultural leaders to champion. Now it’s time to hear their voices.

Essential and engaging, A Colourful View From the Top is a deeply necessary compendium of varied experiences and career paths, candidly told by those who lived them.
