29/ RICHARD SVED
EPISODE 29
This week Kenneth is flying solo as he meets lifelong fundraiser, mentor extraordinaire and all-round optimist Richard Sved. Whilst the cool kids are out seeing bands, we break our golden rule and also get stuck in to some manual labour.
Meanwhile Richard describes how he thought he had escaped the pull of management consultancy and his passion for the sector, where it all began and how his career has led him to charities large and small. He reveals his pre-match routine for walking in the door at a new client, the power of listening and finding time for his own personal development. Failure is on the agenda for the next couple of episodes and Richard describes how important this is, as well as identifying your personal stress indicators and what to do when they show. Plus there's vulnerability, excitement and a heartfelt confession, all with a cheap gin and tonic.
