My working life: Karen Leigh

Karen Leigh, ceo of Sensational Kids, reveals a typical working day.

7am

The first hour is the most challenging. I have two sons, aged 12 and 14, the youngest has dyslexia, the oldest has hearing loss and dyspraxia. The 12-year-old hates school so it’s a bit of a struggle to get him out. Being a CEO sounds glamorous but in reality I’m a working mum who has children with special educational needs.
