Secrets to success with Dame Stephanie Shirley

This week Sarah interviews special guest Dame Stephanie Shirley; tech pioneer, entrepreneur and philanthropist. In this episode we talk about what it was like to start a tech business as a woman in 1962 with a £6 initial investment (she went on to make £150m, at least £65m of which she has given away).

We talk about her book Let It Go and her secrets to success including having faith in others, relentless enthusiasm and building a values led, progressive organisation.

If you’d like to read more about this episode, Sarah has written an article for Management Today profiling Dame Stephanie: https://www.managementtoday.co.uk/dame-stephanie-shirley-broke-rules-work/leadership-lessons/article/1596130
