How do we bottle the ingredients that create success? What are the childhood influences that really shape someone’s future? How can we raise kids to be confident, positive, creative and resourceful? What can we do about it as adults?

 

These are all questions the talented Jodie Cook and the Clever Tykes team is working hard to get to the bottom of. To do this they are interviewing people they admire. The line-up includes entrepreneurs, CEOs, sportspeople, actors and many more inspiring people from all walks of life, to find out how they were brought up.

 

I was delighted to be part of this project and my interview with Jodie Cook about my background and how it has shaped me is here.

In this podcast we discuss Oona’s childhood; and the challenges she and her family faced that shaped her.  We speak about the incredible advice and guidance of her mother, and how Oona applies everything she learnt to the work she does in developing others.
