"All I know is that I know nothing" said Socrates, according to Plato's accounts of his life. This sentence is close to my heart as it reminds me that I often need to unlearn what I already know in order to keep an open mind and fully listen, learn and embrace new ideas. Beyond the qualifications, experience and honours below which I have worked hard to earn, I see myself mostly as a lifetime learner (and 'unlearner') who has decided to support other human beings by partnering with them in thought-provoking and creative dialogues that inspire them to design their life and career and unfold their personal and professional potential.
