Increasingly, I'm seeing that traditional organisational structures are under scrutiny because they're just too slow. But that's not always the case, and today's guest is going to prove it.
In this episode we dig into the experience of Michelle Booth, [these days] head of growth, activation, and innovation at Lloyds Bank. Michelle has thrived as an entrepreneur in businesses that many would think are rigid and very hierarchical. If that's you, be prepared to change your view.
Drawing from real life experience, including her transformative role at one of the UK's best known high street banks (NatWest), Michelle joins the Unicorny project to talk transformation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
