She shares the lessons from Charlotte that still guide her today, what it was really like launching Victoria Beckham Beauty in the US, how beauty PR has fundamentally evolved over the past decade, and why she finally stepped out from behind the scenes to launch her own consultancy after years of building other people's brands. From the power of delusional self-belief to why hard work and self-advocacy still matter — this is an insider's look at what it actually takes to build beauty brands that break through.I hope you enjoy!Follow The Beauty Sessions on⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠Follow Sophie Blowfield on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠Follow Bec Wilson on ⁠⁠InstagramFollow Eleven Consultancy on Instagram
