Lesley Curwen speaks to Lord Browne, the former Chief Executive of BP, who kept his personal life secret for 40 years. In a frank interview he talks about his life in business, his sexuality, and the lie about his boyfriend, which cost him his career as an energy boss. And Lucy Kellaway on public speaking. There's any amount of advice about how to do it but why does the very idea of getting up on your hind legs, reduce many of us to tears?Sponsored by
