Why she refuses to perform "faux humility" and what happens when women stop shrinking themselves for other people's comfort 2. The real reason women's success keeps getting attributed to the men beside them - and why it's mostly coming from other women 3. Her practical roadmap from zero to six figures: benchmarking salaries on LinkedIn, volunteering for stretch projects, and asking relentless questions 4. How she believes most women are "chronically underpaid" and how to take financial responsibility before anything else 5. The sacrifice no one talks about: how a year of partying cost her £700K and forced her to lock in 6. How she spotted a billion-dollar US brand, invested in its UK equivalent early, and made serious returns 7.
