#84– Paul Edginton, CEO at Vinomofo on Curing the plague of the "Proper CEO" mindset and being the one you want to be

In this episode, we explore:

🎯  Why hope alone isn’t a strategy for the not-for-profit sector

🎯 And why certainty is a false idol for leaders

🎯 Curing the plague of the Proper CEO and being the one you want to be 
Paul’s journey from start-ups to c-suite, from large not-for-profits to industry disruptors like Vinomofo, has shown him the importance of calibrating, recalibrating and then calibrating again.

In a world of constant change, Paul will explain how language matters, disruption is vital and how his sixteen-year-old self had it all wrong.
