In this episode we dive deep into the importance of engaging students and building a sense of community throughout their university journey. Simon also shares why he is so committed to bringing people into his business who are at the start of their careers and how the passion of his team spurred him on, to lean into a difficult leadership challenge.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“An idol of mine is my dad and he always told me people buy from people and that has always resonated with me. Whether you’re selling something, or you need the buy in of someone you work with. The full saying is people buy from people they trust, and they trust people they like. Having great people around you lets you do great things and actually it makes life much more enjoyable.”
