Julia Middleton's Thoughts on Leadership

I am dyslexic. Can’t even spell dylexic (I bet someone who is not dyslexic came up with the name).

It has never got in my way since I left school. In fact it probably makes me a better speaker. But it has got the better of me now that Common Purpose is expanding in India. One million Rupees makes 10 lakhs. And 100 lakhs make a crore.

So you have to get your head around the noughts, the many noughts. In groups of three. I just can’t do it. A sea of noughts.

Guess its important to know where you’re strengths are.

(By the way, it’s Xtraordinary Week 2010, a week that raises awareness of the strengths and talents of dyslexic children and adults everywhere)
