I delivered this member presentation as exiting chair of the CompTIA UK Channel Community at the Lancaster Hotel, London on 22.10.12. The presentation tells the story of my own career within IT, and the lessons I've learned that have helped me grow. Throughout the presentation I offer practical advice and tips that can help you grow as an individual, and grow your business as a result.
