In this episode I was really pleased to chat to Rosie Sweetman co-founder of Sweetmans and Partners based in Cardiff.

We chatted about what it means to be purpose led business, the benefits of being clear about company values and what we mean when we talk about the culture of an organisation. We also pondered on the many changes that we’ve seen in doing business, employee expectations and how organisations have to behave.

I really love chatting to Rosie as she is a great thinker and always has interesting perspectives to offer.
