The Art of Getting What YOU Want, which discuss why everything we do is a sale. She’s worked with some of the biggest names in business such as SkyBet, Discovery Channel and EasyJet teaching them her intrapreneurship methodology, helping them to encourage entrepreneurial thinking within their organisations and now she’s here to discuss the importance of sales.
