“Dear Carla, Thank you very, very much for your engaging, relevant and memorable contributions to our G6 development programme launch on Monday.

I have just looked this morning at the set of ‘one thing I will take away from today…’ feedback. You’ll be interested to know that examples include: ‘putting myself in harm’s way’; ‘being a bird on the sea’; ‘drawing on lots of excellent insights from a diverse group of leaders’; ‘balancing leadership &management’ !”

It’s always brilliant to meet business women who are really genuine people and I recognised that in you straight away- I hope you enjoyed the rest of the night and – your speech was just the job!”
