Once again in the BT Power List. Does it still enthuse you?
Yes, it does. It is a reminder that a year has gone by and a time to reflect on the lessons learnt. And then I always look forward to the event, meeting some of the greatest women ever.
Your definition of power has it changed over the years?
It changes to include broader spheres of influence and patience that the results will come in time. Also, the self confidence to be able to admit mistakes.
