112/ IFC2023: HELENA SHARPSTONE
EPISODE 112
Kenneth has spent all his pocket money in the IFC tuck shop before we meet Helena Sharpstone (the only one on the internet) for a delightful conversation through her career, including her start in sales, an extended honeymoon period in non-profits and why she's investing her own pocket money in chilli plants.
Before she reveals how taking an interview for a bet nearly horribly backfired, she talks about healing in the sector, how she finds there's more creativity when there's less resource, people adapting from difficult experiences and the similarities between sales and fundraising.
Before closing we get to a far better approach to resilience, valuing your staff, why not everyone makes a good manager and squeeze in James Annual Review.
