If your name was on a list of test results pinned to a board, would you look from the top down or the bottom up?* In this very special episode, business founder and non-executive director Shaun Frohlich shares a wealth of stories and insights into what has taken him from a "square-bashing school" that he couldn't wait to get away from to a position where today he's helped dozens of business leaders to successfully increase and realise the value in their organisations. From his earliest beginnings of being adopted by highly academic parents (and his father's experiences as an escapee German Jew), Shaun tells a truly compelling story of embracing possibilities and playing to your strengths.Shaun shares an incredible array of teaching moments which include being the butt of the practical joke played on new kitchen staff; realising the boss is on the fiddle; learning what it means when a company "goes bust", deciding where to work based on what's in the car park and negotiating with HR when you've already got thirty years' experience of running organisations that turn over millions.We also talk about how dyslexia impacted Shaun's schooling, why he ran away from a lovely home to find his own way and how his view on education and the world of work informed his hopes for his children.This is a wide-ranging and uplifting conversation, full of laughter and honesty. I really hope you enjoy the listen.*If you look from the bottom up, this episode is definitely for you :)#entrepreneur #lifestories #careerstories #careerpodcast
