Picture this: you have a yearning to do strategy but you’re in an account management role. Maybe a job switch has been promised. Maybe you're simply doing multiple roles. Either way, on your mind is this question: "How do I do strategy full-time?"

The transition isn’t always easy. The thing you want can put stress on your current company. But how much of that is a ‘you’ problem versus a ‘them’ problem?

In this episode of Sweathead, we speak with these three people who’ve made the leap:

1. Kimberley Upton, Head of Planning at Blue Chip (UK)
