How do you get to where you want to be? With Aziza Ajak and Ben Newton The Green Room: Questions That Matter Most In Business

Astronaut. Dancer. Footballer. Pop star.
Many of us will remember our childhood ambitions. But then life happens. We get an education. We’re forced to make a choice between one route or another.
Wherever we want to get to, or redirect to, it’s about knowing what we want – and feeling capable.
It’s about knowing where we could be – and feeling supported. It’s about raising aspirations – and overcoming limitations. It’s about defining success – and finding happiness. Whatever those might mean to you.
We’re wondering, does where you start still matter? How much do our backgrounds determine our future success? How do you discover what you want to do – and where you could go? How important is it seeing people like you succeed? And how can you pave your own way?

For this episode, we’re joined by Aziza Ajak, Vice Principal of a London school and trustee for Mission 44, and Ben Newton, the first of Deloitte’s Brightstart apprentices to be promoted to partner.
