STEPHEN BROADBENT - CONTINUED
THE START OF SOMETHING
We love the written word, and putting thoughts down on paper. So it was a privilege and pleasure to be included in the incredible Planit’s new book, The Start of Something. We look forward to creating more meaningful stories with you in the future.
“The book and our podcast series speak to everyone interested in positive change, generous leadership and, through business, the drive to leave the world better than we found it.
This point marks a time to celebrate – what we’ve learnt, our successes, our failures, and to recognise those we’ve met and left their mark along the way. ”
“This wasn’t just about making a book; it was about creating a legacy. The project celebrated Planit’s work, their people, and their vision, giving them a platform to connect with their audience in a meaningful and lasting way.”
