I Consider Myself A Rampant Feminist.

My Background Is Advertising: I Moved To New York From London In 1998 To Start Up The U.s. Office Of Ad Agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty.

The Single Biggest Lesson I Learned Was When A Hire Isn't Working Out Fire Them Fast. My Biggest Mistakes, And Where I've Seen The Worst Results, Were When I Gave Someone Too Many Chances, Or Let A Situation Drift On For Too Long Because I Couldn't Bring Myself To Terminate It.

Vulnerability Is A Loaded Word, And It Can Off-putting And Terrifying To People. The Best Moment Of My Life (and By The Way, This Actually Wasn’t A Single Moment) Was When I Realized That I No Longer Give A Damn About What Anybody Thinks. What You'd Talk About As Vulnerability, I'd Talk About As Simply Being True To Yourself.

When I Give Talks Like The One I'm Going To Give At The Changing Advertising Summit, One Of The Points I Often Make To The Audience Is That I'm Not One Of Those Speakers Who Stands In Front Of The Audience And Pontificates - Everything I Talk About I'm Actually Doing Myself. I'm Living It.

There Was No Active, Conscious Decision-making Point, Just A Gradual Realization Over Time That I'm Very Happy Minus Children And Marriage.
