Martial arts can help one cope with failure, learn from mistakes and handle the stresses in business. Through it, you can learn and apply skills that can help you realise your potential and make you feel proud of what you have accomplished.

Today we speak with Karen Young, the Global Tax Director at Flight Centre. Her impressive career started with one of the big 4 accounting firms as a graduate, before moving overseas and working in the “Big Apple” of NYC.  She shares her story on why she decided to leave her job at EY,  how martial arts played a huge role in her successes, her leadership style and approach and so much more. We were even lucky enough to find out that Karen is a 3rd Dan black belt! How awesome is that? 

Books to the Boardroom is hosted by Sumith Dissanayake, CEO of Brisca.
