“Practice these principles in all our affairs.”
The meeting was with the global CEO and the top brass of the ad agency where I worked (all men, naturally). I wanted to convince them to allow me to start my own business (using a process I’d created as an employee) while keeping a relationship (and source of revenue) with my employer.
