Career

Without a college degree, LaPorte began working at The Body Shop in one of their retail stores.[7] After requesting and receiving several promotions, LaPorte became director of Social Inventions at The Body Shop's Canadian headquarters,[8]

I just kept doing big things, then asking for promotions once I did them. Doing, asking, doing, asking.
