Going Independent: From BP to Bootstraps
Leaving a global corporation is equal parts terrifying and exhilarating. The perks, the structure, the safety net -gone overnight. What replaces them is a steep learning curve, a lot of coffee, and lessons you simply can't learn inside a big organisation.
In this talk, we share the real story of walking away from BP to build a recruitment business from the ground up. Just the honest account of two people who backed themselves — and what happened next.
We'll cover the moments that tested us, the mistakes we made, the things we got right, and the surprising ways that years inside a corporate giant turned out to be the best — and worst — preparation for startup life.
Whether you're dreaming of making the leap, already in the thick of it, or simply curious about what life looks like on the other side, this session is for you.
