Ten things I learnt while on the Class Of programme
- Never take yourself too seriously
- Be respectful, humble and confident
- There is no substitute for hard work
- Proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance
- Creativity and spontaneity are the differentiators in a relatively commoditised world
- The client is interested in more than just finance – be able to converse on normal topics too
- It takes longer than you think to win a client's confidence
- If you don't start at the business section of the Sunday press, you're probably in the wrong job
- In finance, everything but passion and numerical intelligence can be acquired
- Always test whether you'd put your own money into an idea or product
