Growing up on Hayling Island in Hampshire, Sarah understood the value of community from an early age. But rather than feeling isolated like many who live on an island, she had a natural curiosity to explore the wider world.

In a career that’s taken Sarah across the globe, and into several senior HR, talent and people roles, the importance of building connections and growing relationships has never left her.

In this conversation we discuss Sarah’s career journey, how she’s overcome the challenges she’s faced along the way, and her advice for executives and their teams on what makes a distinctive leader, including:

• How finding a great mentor can help you close the gaps when looking at more senior roles.

• Why it’s important to be unafraid to ask for help when you don’t have the answer.

• And how listening to other people’s life stories can teach you so many great career lessons that you might miss out on otherwise.

If you’re climbing the leadership ladder and looking for inspiration to help you reach the top, you don’t want to miss this one.
