I got the fundraising bug in my first job, when I led the team that conceived, planned and implemented the London Debate Challenge. We secured corporate, trust and governmental support for a 3-year-long, 451-school-wide project.

I’ve never lost that entrepreneurial passion, nor the sense of reward that comes from helping achieve those big dreams. This translates into all elements of my practice – even when working with clients to tackle the knotty, difficulty challenges that keep us all awake at night.

Early in my career I remember discussing job satisfaction with a friend who worked for a large multinational corporation. Our conclusion was that I would face all the same challenges he would, except there’d be much less money to spend, and I’d be working with people who did it for love. Whose challenge is the greater?
