ThinkFM Switches On with Entrepreneur Sahar Hashemi

Sahar Hashemi, one of UK’s most inspirational entrepreneurs and visionaries, will open ThinkFM, with a ‘Switched On’ theme, based on her recent book ‘Switched On: 10 Habits to Being Highly Effective in Your Job, and Loving It'.

She will use her experience to bring to life the tools and techniques that delegates can use to spot opportunities, have inspired ideas, make them happen and ultimately become indispensable. Being ‘switched on’ is about developing the entrepreneurial mindset and its resonance for employees. The premise of the book and the session is that tools and behaviours, which were traditionally the preserve of entrepreneurs, are now much needed in the corporate world. Entrepreneurial behaviour, which does not come naturally in a corporate environment, should be learned and actively encouraged.
