We all know it. It\u2019s one of those things you know but you don\u2019t live it. For me, it's not what you are, that's the most important. Realising that other people are something else is more important than knowing what you are.\u201d   ABOUT JO Jo Hardman has worked at Lancaster University for 30 years in a wide range of commercial, research and marketing roles which has helped him get under the skin of the widest possible elements of HE life. As current chair of CUBO (College & University Business Officers Association), Jo got involved in the Board as he could see an organisation that wanted to lead and help set the agenda for commercial services in the University sector.   CONNECT WITH JO LinkedIn: linkedin.com\/in\/jo-hardman-4558a417   Email: j.hardman@lancs.ac.uk   CUBO website: https:\/\/www.cubo.ac.uk\/   ABOUT THE HOST \u2013 MEL LOIZOU Mel is a Consultant, Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, Podcast Host & Mum.
