YOUR CONTENDER PERSONALITY PROFILE

I believe one of the biggest barriers we face, somewhat driven by social media, is people’s inability to have good conversation and dialogue about really important issues – to talk without arguing. In my profession, I have to negotiate at a high level, so I think I am fairly skilled at it. I want to use those skills to create my legacy by setting up a foundation to train people (particularly politicians!) to have better dialogue, focussed on what is best, to build consensus, rather than point-scoring. My property portfolio will finance and support that, even after I have gone.
I love living in London, partly because it is so easy to get away from. In my spare time, I love exploring all the social activities London has to offer, but I love travel too – I’m definitely an explorer of the world.
