How To Make A Difference In Life: Dame Commander Heather Rabbatts


Listen Later

How can you make a difference in life, alongside other people? That is a question long pondered by Dame Commander Heather Rabbatts, who has a quite remarkable CV despite underachieving at school. She was the first woman to be appointed a director of the FA and she was also chief executive of Millwall football club, she’s also been a barrister, a BBC governor, the youngest ever chief executive of both Merton and Lambeth councils, Head of Education at Channel 4, a director of the Bank of England and much more besides. And this from a woman who underachieved at school. Heather shares so many insights, quotes and life lessons in this episode, including about how to get a promotion at work, so you might want to grab a pen.


Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is now on general release. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews over the last five years, I want to share some of my favourite Life Lessons, including around burnout, psychological flexibility, flow and success evangelism.
