They discuss the challenges of maintaining a legacy brand while keeping it fresh and relevant, the significance of culture in luxury experiences, and the necessity of making tough commercial decisions KEY TAKEAWAYS Embracing a non-linear career trajectory can lead to unique opportunities and growth. Diverse experiences across different sectors, such as public service and hospitality, can enrich leadership skills and perspectives. Achieving alignment with personal values and professional goals is crucial for maintaining energy and passion in one’s work. When individuals are aligned with their purpose, they can harness a natural source of motivation, even amidst challenges. Building diverse teams enhances creativity and problem-solving. By combining talents from various backgrounds, organisations can create a more dynamic and effective workforce, leading to greater collective success. In the hospitality industry, luxury is not just about high-end products but also about the experiences and emotions evoked in guests. Seamless service and personalised touches are essential for creating memorable moments. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes it's good to have a non-linear career path, although sometimes people don't really get it." "The minute you are aligned with something you do with your values, it's as if alignment was the greatest natural source of energy." "A powerful, curated, diverse team is a secret power. This is my superpower." "Luxury is about simplicity, seamlessness, and culture." "Life is not about avoiding storms. It's about learning to dance under the rain."

Jeannette discusses the essential skills of receiving and giving feedback, emphasising its importance in personal and professional growth. She offers twelve practical tips—six for effectively receiving feedback and six for delivering it constructively. Listeners are encouraged to actively listen, process feedback, and take actionable steps to improve, while also learning how to prepare, choose the right environment, and support others when giving feedback KEY TAKEAWAYS Receiving and giving feedback is a valuable process that can enhance personal and professional growth, even if it feels uncomfortable at times. Six Steps to Receive Feedback: Listen: Absorb what is being said without jumping to defensiveness. Process: Reflect on the feedback and identify any recurring themes. Take Action: Decide how to respond to the feedback constructively. Review Progress: Monitor changes and improvements based on the feedback. Seek Follow-Up Feedback: Proactively ask for additional feedback to gauge progress. Continuous Refinement: Engage in ongoing personal development based on the feedback received. Prepare thoroughly before giving feedback, considering the desired outcome and the context in which the feedback will be delivered. Ensure that feedback is given in a quiet, distraction-free setting where the recipient can focus and respond appropriately. After giving feedback, check in with the individual to see how they are processing it and offer support as needed, fostering a constructive dialogue BEST MOMENTS "Feedback is the breakfast of champions and it should be received in silence." "When you have a more of a maturity about receiving and giving feedback, it can honestly be super valuable in terms of how you come across." "The great thing about feedback is you decide what to do with it." "Don't assume a response. You don't know how the person will respond to what you have to say and you may get some surprises." "We want to help. We're giving feedback because we care both about ourselves, but about the other person."

Jeannette talks to industry legend, Steve Barrass, the CEO of Vibe Travel Systems, who shares insights from his extensive 30-plus year career in the travel sector. They focus on the importance of personal and professional values, the challenges of maintaining integrity in the corporate world, and the impact of family support on career success. Steve reflects on pivotal moments in his career, including a significant decision to uphold his values during a job loss and the lessons learned from navigating the challenges of the pandemic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Upholding personal values such as honesty, integrity, and hard work is crucial in both personal and professional settings. Compromising these values can lead to regret and dissatisfaction. The pandemic highlighted the need for resilience in business. Leaders must adapt quickly, maintain clarity, and support their teams through challenging times, ensuring open communication and motivation even when employees are furloughed. Both successes and failures provide valuable lessons. Observing how others handle situations—whether well or poorly—can inform one's own leadership style and decision-making processes. Building strong relationships with colleagues, suppliers, and stakeholders is essential. These connections can provide crucial support during difficult times and contribute to a collaborative work environment. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's very, very important that people don't compromise on those personal values. Because you just let yourself down, I think." "I often think that when we are doing these big jobs, we don't really give our partners credit as much externally." "I think their identity is so wrapped up into the role and the title, and the bells and the whistles, and the ego." "I've learned more about how to do things by seeing people not do them very well."

Recognising that many struggle with the concept of saying no due to a desire to please others, Jeannette emphasises the importance of prioritising one's time and energy. She shares practical tips highlighting the need for clarity on personal values and purpose, building self-confidence, and refining communication skills KEY TAKEAWAYS Recognising that saying no is essential for managing your time and energy effectively. It allows you to focus on what truly matters and prevents overcommitment. Being clear about your personal and professional priorities, as well as your purpose and reason why, helps you assess opportunities and distractions more effectively. Developing self-confidence is crucial for saying no. It’s important to shift your mindset to understand that declining an opportunity does not reflect poorly on you. Refining your communication skills and practicing how to say no can make the process easier. This includes taking a moment to pause before responding to requests. BEST MOMENTS "Saying no with ease, with grace, with confidence is a topic that really is important." "Your time and your energy are the most precious resources you have." "Saying no is often the kindest thing to do, the best thing to do for the other person." "It's absolutely important that given that our time and our energy and our resources are limited, that we're focusing them on the right things." "When you have that clarity, you're able to assess opportunities in the context of your purpose and your reason why."

Jeannette talks to Julia Simpson, the president and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Julia shares her unique journey to her current role, highlighting her extensive experience in both government and the corporate sector, including her time as an advisor to former Prime Minister Tony Blair. They also talk about the importance of understanding the interplay between government and business, especially in the volatile travel and tourism industry. Julia discusses the WTTC's significant impact on the global economy, representing one in ten jobs worldwide, and emphasises the need for a unified voice for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the sector. Together with Finn Partners, WTTC is launching in October a community for the global SME market called Together in Travel. As the voice of the global travel private sector WTTC wants to make sure the voice of the SME is heard loud and clear. This will be a dynamic and free-to-subscribe community with lots of useful content and will focus on empowering these businesses by facilitating meaningful connections, providing valuable insights, and offering tailored learning programs to help them thrive in a competitive market. Together in Travel Pre-registration form: https://form.typeform.com/to/eVF3u89X KEY TAKEAWAYS Resilience is crucial in both government and corporate sectors, as leaders often face numerous challenges and setbacks. Embracing failures and learning from them can lead to stronger leadership. Understanding the dynamics between government and the private sector is essential for effective advocacy in travel and tourism. Leaders must navigate the differing timeframes and priorities of both sectors to create meaningful partnerships. The travel and tourism industry must leverage data and AI to enhance operations and customer experiences. Leaders should take ownership of AI initiatives to drive innovation and efficiency within their organisations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are vital to the travel and tourism sector, representing 80% of the industry. Initiatives like "Together in Travel" aim to amplify their voices and provide resources for growth and resilience. As the travel and tourism sector grows, it is essential to prioritise sustainability and responsible growth. Leaders should advocate for practices that protect the environment and support local communities, ensuring a positive impact on society. BEST MOMENTS "You have to make your luck, you have to push a lot of doors, but then suddenly one will flip open and it's not always the one you're expecting." "I think one of my expertise is, if you like, is dealing with crisis... you never quite know how you're going to deal with crisis until you're in it for the first time." "Travel and tourism represents one in 10 jobs that are created on this planet... we're also one of the biggest employers of women." "It's really important that the big boys and girls really support that, and it's also where a lot of the young innovations are coming from."

Jeannette shares a powerful formula for success that applies to various aspects of life, including business, career, and personal relationships. The formula consists of three key components: belief, purpose, and action, which together lead to meaningful results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success is achieved through the formula: Belief + Purpose + Action = Results. Each component is essential for achieving desired outcomes in business and personal life. Self-belief is crucial. If you don't believe in yourself and your capabilities, it will be challenging for others to believe in you. Regularly remind yourself of your achievements to strengthen your self-belief. Having a clear purpose and understanding your "why" is vital for staying on track. Take time to reflect on your goals and the legacy you want to leave, as this clarity will guide your actions. Massive action is necessary to achieve results. Incremental improvements and consistent efforts, even if they don't always lead to immediate results, contribute to long-term success. Regularly evaluate your belief, purpose, and actions. If you're not achieving the results you want, check if your belief is strong enough, if your purpose is clear, and if you're taking the right actions aligned with your goals BEST MOMENTS "Belief plus purpose plus action equals results. Let me say it again. Belief plus purpose plus action equals results." "If we don't believe in ourselves, if we don't believe in what we're doing, then how can anyone else believe in you?" "Having a clear vision for where you wanna go, knowing your reason why, is absolutely critical because it will keep you on track." "There is no point in playing small in this life. Live a life that you have got the capability to do, not less." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette presents a special montage episode featuring insights from four remarkable CEOs leading multi-billion dollar businesses. Listeners will hear from Johan Lundgren, Group CEO of EasyJet, who discusses his rapid ascent in leadership and the importance of diversity and inclusion within his organisation. The episode also includes perspectives from Duncan O'Rourke, CEO of Accor, who shares his journey through the luxury hotel sector and the evolving definition of luxury in today's market. Additionally, Barbara Muckerman, former CEO of Silversea Cruises and CEO of Kempinski Hotels, and Oriele Frank, co-founder of Elemis, contribute their experiences and insights on brand building and sustainability KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective leadership during challenging times, such as a pandemic, involves breaking down overwhelming situations into manageable parts. Staying focused on outcomes and maintaining a positive demeanour can help guide teams through adversity. Authenticity is crucial for successful leadership. Being true to oneself and leading in a way that aligns with personal values fosters trust and engagement within teams. The cultural differences between running businesses in Sweden and the UK are discussed, noting that Scandinavian leadership often emphasises consensus and early adoption of digitalisation, which can influence decision-making processes. The journey of building a brand or business involves constant evolution and adaptation. Embracing change, learning from experiences, and being open to new ideas are essential for long-term success and sustainability. BEST MOMENTS "If you can let everybody be at their best level, if you can get everybody to express themselves in the most natural way, that ultimately must be better." "Luxury is limited by definition. Luxury is limited. It's personalised. And it's changed fundamentally from 10 years ago to what is luxury now." "I never thought that 10 men in the boardroom is equal as bad as 10 women in the boardroom." "Profit is not a dirty word. If we don't make profit, we don't have a business and we don't have people employed." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette addresses the critical importance of networking and how it can significantly impact both personal and professional growth. She shares ten actionable tips for building a thriving network, highlighting the need for a mindset shift, intentionality, and the value of nurturing relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Approach networking with intention. Set aside dedicated time in your calendar for networking activities, whether it's attending events or connecting with people on platforms like LinkedIn. Focus on how you can help others in your network rather than what you can gain from them. This principle fosters genuine relationships and encourages reciprocity. Establish specific networking goals and create a plan to achieve them. This could include attending events, reaching out to potential leads, or increasing your social media presence. Regularly assess your networking efforts to identify what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategies based on your experiences to enhance your networking effectiveness over time. BEST MOMENTS "Your network is your net worth. It's all about who you know in this world." "Be intentional with your networking. Don't leave this just to chance." "Lead with value. Always think about how you can help the other person first." "Set yourself some goals. What gets measured gets done." "Review, tweak, refine. This will lead to exciting opportunities."

Jeannette talks to Amanda Teale, the CEO and founder of Minerva Private Travel and Lifestyle Management. They delve into Amanda's inspiring journey from her early fascination with travel to establishing a successful luxury travel business. Amanda shares her unique approach to client service, emphasising the importance of personalised experiences and seamless journeys, which set her apart in the competitive travel industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS Minerva Private Travel emphasises a highly personalised service, focusing on the entire journey of the client, from pre-departure communication to seamless transitions at airports. The business model relies on referrals and recommendations rather than traditional advertising, which has proven to be a successful long-term strategy for building a loyal client base. Challenges such as the aftermath of 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the volatility of the travel industry. Adapting to these challenges, including diversifying services and maintaining a positive mindset, is crucial for survival and growth. Building a strong team and delegating tasks is essential for efficiency. Investing in the right people allows for a focus on core business activities, leading to better overall performance. BEST MOMENTS "What I do differently is I actually put quite a lot of emphasis on the journey. Our drivers message them 48 hours before they leave home; that's where their journey starts for us." "The travel industry is the most volatile industry in the world... It only takes one person to say something, and they're like, 'Oh, I'm going now, cancel.'" "The term luxury is an interesting one. I think it's overused, in my opinion." "You have to be humble in hard times... If things got bad again, I'd have to do the same. And I would be prepared to do that."

Jeannette addresses the challenges and strategies for navigating your first leadership role with confidence and effectiveness. Acknowledging that many new leaders often feel unprepared, she shares valuable insights drawn from 30 years of experience in business. The discussion covers essential topics such as the importance of listening before jumping into action, conducting a thorough 100-day review, building key relationships, and understanding what success looks like through clear KPIs KEY TAKEAWAYS As a leader, balance strategic oversight with operational involvement. Hover above to maintain a big-picture view while also landing to support your team and address immediate issues. In your first leadership role, take the time to listen and understand the dynamics of your team and organisation before jumping into action. This will help you avoid missing critical insights. Use the first three months to assess every aspect of your role. Document your observations on what’s working well and what needs improvement, which can serve as a valuable report for yourself and your superiors. Focus on nurturing key relationships with your boss, peers, and direct reports. Spend quality time with these individuals to build trust and gain valuable insights that can aid your leadership journey. BEST MOMENTS "When you take on a leadership role, the reality is often that you're never ready. That's perfectly normal." "You need to make sure that you're able to hover above on the horizon, looking out, having a big vision, a strategy, longer term thinking." "Take time. Do a lot of listening. Don't jump to conclusions too fast because you might find that you miss things." "Get yourself a mentor. Honestly, it will totally change how you navigate through this first leadership role."

Jeannette talks about the topic of leadership burnout, drawing from personal experiences as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur. She highlights the prevalence of burnout among ambitious individuals and the detrimental effects it can have on both individuals and organisations KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial to be aware of the signs of burnout, such as feelings of exhaustion, disengagement, and reduced efficiency. Taking time for yourself to regroup, whether for an extended period or short breaks, can help release stress and prevent burnout. Reflect on your leadership style and effectiveness, ensuring you are focusing on the right things and not overloading yourself. Ensure you have the right people in the right positions, empower your team, delegate effectively, and provide support for success. Surround yourself with supportive individuals with whom you can discuss your feelings and challenges, seeking guidance and encouragement to navigate potential burnout. BEST MOMENTS "35% of employees were actually having difficulties maintaining a healthy work-life balance and were suffering with extreme stress, pressure, not feeling great." "The most successful leaders are those that can role model resilience and vulnerability together, because those two elements will help with this aspect of burnout." "Life is too short to be anything but happy. So if you're worried about any of this in terms of your mental health, your well-being, then, as I say, more than happy to have a conversation." "It's not always easy, but there's always a way to solve these things together." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks about the debate surrounding the optimal working week schedule, comparing the recent introduction of a six-day working week in Greece to the trend of trialling four-day working weeks in various countries. Jeannette explores the reasons behind Greece's decision to implement a six-day working week, citing economic challenges and ambitions for increased productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS The debate between a four-day working week and a six-day working week is a hot topic globally, with different countries and companies experimenting with various schedules. Greece recently introduced a voluntary six-day working week, offering a 40% increase in salary for the extra day worked, aiming to boost economic productivity. The introduction of the six-day working week in Greece has sparked controversy, with concerns about employee well-being, consultation, and potential impact on productivity. On the other hand, many countries have been trialling four-day working weeks, with some companies making it a permanent change due to benefits like improved work-life balance and productivity gains. BEST MOMENTS "Greece has actually announced that they are introducing a six-day working week which is quite controversial given that this is quite a different approach to a lot of the other countries that we see around the world." "So financially, there is clearly a benefit to the employees that take up the six-day working week." "Some of the benefits of the four-day working week are that it allows for a better life work balance for employees." "Life has changed since COVID, right? And that forced us to work more creatively in a very different way than we ever have done before."

Jeannette is joined by the legend himself, Alan Curtis MBE, former Wales international football player, and current honorary club president of Swansea, to discuss insights into receiving an MBE, his early days in football, experiences at various clubs like Swansea, Leeds, Southampton, and Cardiff, and the changes in football over the years. Alan also reflects on the challenges and highlights of his career, including injuries, club transitions, and the psychological aspects of sports, as well as the life lessons he's taken from the beautiful game, and on into all corners of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Alan had a stellar football career, playing for various clubs and experiencing the changes in the game over the years. The transition from playing for Leeds to Cardiff was challenging due to the intense rivalry between the two clubs, leading to a mixed reception from fans. The importance of mindset and mental health in sports was evident, with players facing self-doubts and pressure before games. The story of Alan's uncle, Roy Paul, winning the FA Cup with Manchester City in 1956 after losing in 1955, showcases the determination and prediction of a victory. The evolution of football tactics and the emphasis on possession in modern football contrast with the more straightforward and aggressive style of play in the past. BEST MOMENTS "I think the players certainly are much more tactically aware as well now... It's much more tactical. It's almost like a game of chess now." "I think everybody, every player goes through a doubt just before they go out... all the self-doubts that he had, and, oh, I've got a little bit of a niggle there now." "I think sometimes I always feel that somebody's looking down and looking after me in key moments... I think that probably would have all disappeared." "I remember the first time I played for Cardiff... I got booed by both sets of supporters. Wow. Talking about character building!"

He began his career with Swansea City in 1972, and spent the next seven years with the "Swans", winning promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1977–78 and out of the Third Division in 1978–79. He was then sold on to Leeds United, but struggled in the First Division and was sold back to Swansea in 1980. He helped Swansea to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1980–81, but a period of decline for the club followed and he moved on to Southampton in November 1983. He played on loan at Stoke City towards the end of the 1985–86 season, before he joined Cardiff City in the summer. He helped the "Bluebirds" to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1987–88 and to also win the Welsh Cup in 1988. He made another return to Swansea during the 1989–90 campaign, and later ended his career with Barry Town, winning the Welsh Cup in 1994. During his career he also represented Wales, scoring six goals in 35 international games. After retiring as a player he spent many years on the backroom staff at Swansea City, and has had several spells as a caretaker-manager.

Jeannette talks about the concept of "quiet vacationing," a trend that has emerged as a subtle way for individuals to take time off without formally booking annual leave. She explores the pros and cons of quiet vacationing, discussing how it can be a beneficial approach to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but also highlighting the potential drawbacks of not fully disconnecting from work KEY TAKEAWAYS Quiet vacationing is a growing trend where individuals take time off without formally booking annual leave. Pros and cons of quiet vacationing include the ability to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but the risk of not fully recuperating if work continues during the time off. Leaders should ensure clear communication of holiday entitlements, encourage unplugging, monitor workload issues, and prioritise employee wellness. Consistency in allowing time off and adhering to legal obligations is crucial for fostering a healthy work environment. Setting the tone as a leader by practicing what you preach regarding taking breaks and promoting work-life balance is essential for the team's well-being. BEST MOMENTS "Taking that approach can be a great way to just recharge, take a little bit of time, you know, etc." "But the reality is, if you're not taking a break, then you're at risk of burnout, right?" "So be flexible. Very often, people want more flexibility these days." "I think a focus on wellness is absolutely critical for your teams."

Jeannette is joined by James Sinclair, the founder and CEO of the Partyman Group, who shares his entrepreneurial journey and business strategies. James discusses his early start in the entertainment business at the age of 16 and the influence of his upbringing on his entrepreneurial spirit. He delves into the importance of building a strong team, the value of personal branding, and the significance of long-term vision in business KEY TAKEAWAYS James's approach to acquiring businesses involves looking for established businesses with good management teams, revenue over a million, and a focus on vertical integration. The importance of personal branding for attracting opportunities, building influence, and creating connections is crucial. James always focusses upon the importance of long-term planning and building a generational business rather than focusing solely on short-term profits. It's vital to choose the right team and be selective about the individuals one spends time with, as it can impact personal growth and success. BEST MOMENTS "I think, you know, I'm 39 now, but if you go back a few years ago, I would have been buying Marsh Farm or, you know, buying commercial property. I would have been really proud to have said that stuff." "You're around mood hoovers. You're going to be a mood hoover. You know, you're around excellent, effective, positive people. You become excellent and effective, positive person." "You become the average of the five people you spend most of your time with. So choose wisely." "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. You know, you need to, you know, upskill yourself and whoever you hang around with. It means a lot."

Jeannette discusses the concept of "quiet quitting," where employees disengage and perform only the minimum requirements for their job. She discusses the characteristics and causes of quiet quitting, citing statistics from a Gallup poll on employee engagement, and what we can do about it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quiet quitting refers to employees who are only doing the bare minimum required for their job, lacking enthusiasm and engagement. Quiet quitting can lead to decreased productivity, poor team dynamics, and ultimately affect the overall success of the business. Factors such as burnout, lack of recognition, unclear expectations, and poor management can contribute to quiet quitting among employees. Implementing an engaging work culture, clarifying expectations, offering fair compensation, and creating an employee engagement strategy can help combat quiet quitting. Leaders should assess their own leadership style and make necessary adjustments to inspire and empower their teams effectively. BEST MOMENTS "Only 10% of employees feel engaged. So that therefore means that a staggering 90% of employees are therefore not engaged." "40% of employees in the UK were found to be experiencing daily stress, 27% reported feeling daily sadness, 20% reported feeling daily anger." "Gen Z's quiet quitting. 47% of Gen Z's said that they were coasting along in their career, and 40% said they're thriving." "Leadership is really around inspiring your teams, providing the vision, the focus, making those difficult investment choices, setting the strategy, and really empowering your teams to excel in whatever their roles are."

Jeannette is joined by the marvelous Jonathan Davies OBE, the legendary rugby player, to discuss his upbringing, career, and leadership experiences. Jonathan reflects on his humble beginnings in a small Welsh village, the challenges he faced, and the importance of mentors in his life. He shares insights on leadership, teamwork, and motivation, drawing parallels between sports and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building strong relationships and understanding people is crucial in both sports and business. Preparation and communication are key elements for success in leadership roles. Motivating a team in challenging situations requires instilling self-belief and maintaining a positive attitude. Teamwork and a common purpose are essential for achieving goals and success. Balancing skill and attitude when selecting team members is important, with attitude often taking precedence. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's always been kind of there in Wales. You know, having moved then up and realising it's very similar to North West and South Wales." "The bloke's attitude has got to be inclusive. He's with us or he's not. If he's not with us, that's going to be an issue for me." "In your business, I'd rather have a hole than a narsel." "I think the simpler it is, the more people understand it, then the easier the goal." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the importance of creating a culture of collaboration within large organisations, outlining eight key ways to build a collaborative culture, ranging from executive support and creating the right environment, to modelling collaborative behaviour and fostering a sense of community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating a culture of collaboration is crucial for maximising skills, resources, and experience within an organisation. As organisations grow larger, collaboration becomes more challenging due to scale, diversity, virtual teams, and highly skilled individuals. Eight ways to build a culture of collaboration include executive support, creating the right environment, modelling collaborative behaviour, fostering a gift culture, implementing HR practices, ensuring requisite skills, supporting a sense of community, and having the right team leaders and structure. Executive support sets the tone for collaboration throughout the organisation. HR practices should include rewarding and recognizing collaborative efforts to encourage teamwork. BEST MOMENTS "A culture of collaboration is absolutely critical because when people collaborate, then they bring their best to the team and you're able to really maximise the skills, the resources and the experience that you have." "Those are the four characteristics that make a large organisation successful, but also they're the four reasons why collaboration can be harder." "Are you demonstrating collaboration in the way that you are conducting yourself at work? So, you know, very often all eyes are on the boss." "So as organisations grow, as they get bigger, become more diverse, maybe more virtual, different offices, etc. This can become harder."

Jeannette examines the challenging topic of having difficult conversations, addressing the common tendency to avoid or delay such conversations, and emphasising the importance of addressing issues constructively. She provides valuable insights and practical tips on how to approach and navigate difficult conversations effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's essential to have the courage to confront the reality of a situation and not brush things under the carpet. Trust your gut feelings and instincts when it comes to knowing when a difficult conversation needs to happen. When having a challenging conversation, aim to engage productively and seek a resolution rather than getting into arguments. Be mindful of the emotional impact your words and actions may have on others during difficult conversations. Always aim to seek a resolution in difficult conversations, whether it leads to improvement, reconciliation, or closure. BEST MOMENTS "I am not a confrontational person. I personally struggle with some of this." "Life is curly. It is not a straight line. So first of all, interrogate your reality." "You're always looking to seek a resolution. And by having a resolution, try to avoid words like never, and always, because they're too black and white." "Remember, no limits to your life, your business, your career, your personal relationships, whatever you're trying to achieve, you can absolutely achieve it all." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Jeannette talks to Darrell Wade, the chairman and founder of Intrepid Travel, about his journey in the travel industry. Darrell shares insights on the early years of Intrepid, the company's growth, values, and sustainability efforts. The episode delves into a significant merger with TUI, highlighting the cultural mismatch that led to the eventual split. Darrell also reflects on the importance of cultural due diligence in business partnerships and the challenges of aligning different organisational philosophies KEY TAKEAWAYS The importance of cultural fit in business partnerships is crucial, emphasising the need for alignment in values and approaches. Trusting one's instincts, especially in decision-making processes, is a key factor in business success.

The challenges and learnings from the merger with TUI showcase the significance of understanding financial attitudes, cultural differences, and strategic alignment in business deals. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's a bit in the camp of similar kind of Diversity, equity and inclusion. We still talk about gender diversity We shouldn't be talking about that anymore, but we still are and we still need to by the way." "Why is it that companies and whether they're travel companies or companies at large don't take a higher level of responsibility to their staff, to the communities, to the environment, to whatever it is?" "In the real world, like travel companies or FMCG companies or whatever, in a listed context, you're under the gaze the whole time."

Jeannette looks at the complexities of leading across multiple generations in the workplace, exploring the characteristics, values, and perspectives of five distinct generations: traditionalists, baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Gen Z. KEY TAKEAWAYS Each generation, from traditionalists to Gen Z, has unique perspectives, values, and work styles shaped by the era they grew up in. Leaders can leverage the diverse experiences and knowledge of different generations within their teams to foster a culture of continuous learning and development. To lead across multiple generations, it is crucial to bridge the gap between them, find common ground, and promote values such as respect, trust, and psychological safety. Leaders should prioritise well-being, communication, and flexibility to cater to the varying needs and preferences of different generations in the workforce. BEST MOMENTS "Each of those different generations will have different perspectives, they were brought up in different times and they will have different values as well." “In to bring the best out in our people, in our teams, and really create a high-performing environment, we need to understand the people that we work with." "So, as a leader, how can you make sure you're engaging with all of these different generations? And you'll have that mix, most likely, on your team." "You've got to be able to bridge the gap, right? between these different generations, find common ground to bring the team together."

For the dyslexic thinkers who are having a positive impact on the world. Jeannette talks once more to Jamie Waller, a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, who's here to discuss his new book, "The Dyslexic Edge," which challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research to demonstrate quite the opposite. The book is inspired by Jamie's conversation with Richard Branson on Necker Island. It explores the experiences of dyslexic individuals in various industries, featuring Cliff Weitzman (Speechify), Sir Charles Dunstone (Carphone Warehouse And Five Guys Europe), Paul Orfalea (Kinko Print), Kelly Hoppen (Kelly Hoppen Design), Wilfred Emmanual-Jones (The Black Farmer), Edward Keelan (Octopus Investments), Matt Kennedy (Fussy), Nigel Cabourn (The Army Gym), Phillipa Armitage-Mattin (Chefphlli), Theo Paphitis (Ryman'S), Richard White (Pickles), Duncan Bannatyne (Bannatyne'S Health Clubs), Kate Griggs (Made By Dyslexia) In this episode, Jamie shares personal anecdotes and insights from his interviews with inspiring business leaders, including Sir Richard Branson.

You can pre-order now from this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dyslexic-Edge-Unleash-Thinking-Differently/dp/1916797423 KEY TAKEAWAYS The book "The Dyslexic Edge" was inspired by a conversation with Richard Branson about dyslexia and the need for case study-led material on the subject. Dyslexia is not just a disability but a trait of being an explorer, with unique ways of learning and thinking that can be beneficial in various aspects of life. The book features personal anecdotes and stories from individuals with dyslexia, showcasing the challenges and triumphs they have experienced. It's important to change the narrative around dyslexia from being seen as a deficit to being accepted as a norm in society. Embracing dyslexia and being open about it can lead to greater self-acceptance and understanding, allowing individuals to thrive in their unique ways of thinking and learning. BEST MOMENTS "I was born not too far from where we're sat today in East London, in Bethnal Green. I'd like to say I was born with dyslexia, ADHD, colorblind, and poor." "I don't see work as a chore." "I want every dyslexic that is born to understand that they are not born with a disability."

She encourages you to focus on what you want in life, believe in yourself, prioritise well-being, and surround yourself with positive influences. She also highlights the importance of clarity, self-belief, and taking action to achieve personal and professional goals.

I try not to sweat the small stuff as much." "I firmly believe the best is yet to come... We've only just started." "Your mindset, working on yourself every single day is so important...

Jeannette talks to Jesse Tayler, an inventor, lifelong startup entrepreneur and founder of TruAnon, about his experience with creating the App Store and pitching it to Steve Jobs. Jesse reflects on the challenges faced during the early days of electronic distribution and the importance of perseverance in the face of scepticism. He delves into the impact of AI on businesses, sharing practical advice on integrating language models into software development. KEY TAKEAWAYS The importance of timing is crucial, as well as the need to adapt and evolve ideas over time to fit changing circumstances. We must listen to one's inner self and trust one's instincts as a valuable tool in decision-making and pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours. The concept of failure as a learning opportunity shouldn’t be discounted. In Jesse’s case they have contributed to his growth and success. The lasting impact of Jesse’s inventions, such as the App Store, is acknowledged, showcasing how even perceived failures can lead to significant contributions to the tech industry. BEST MOMENTS "I think the critical driver is really a desire to change the world in a way that matters. And it doesn't have to be an idea that comes from me." “The capacity of that language model to help you create, perhaps not to give you any intention, to perhaps not to give you advice, you know, that makes sense in the larger application design." "I don't know where the passion comes from, but without it, you're not going to be able to get that over the hump. It is too scary and it is too difficult." "Well, it was a failure, but it wasn't a failure because now all these years later, what you started back then is now part and parcel of everyday life."

Jeannette talks to Tricia Brouk, an award-winning director, author, producer, and founder of the Big Talk Academy. Tricia shares valuable insights on public speaking, personal branding, and utilising social media effectively. She emphasises the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and consistency in building a personal brand, with her invaluable insights being grounded in her experience of helping thought leaders and speakers find their voice and share their stories authentically. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tricia highlights the five-part structure for crafting a compelling speech: identifying a problem, introducing new ideas, painting a picture, telling a story, and providing a solution with a call to action. This structure helps speakers engage their audience effectively. By gradually increasing pressure levels, individuals can learn to coexist with their physiological responses and deliver impactful speeches. Speakers need to share from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, allowing for deeper connections and impactful storytelling. By staying consistent, aligned with values, and offering value consistently, speakers can shape a strong personal brand that resonates with their audience. BEST MOMENTS "If you are listening to this and you're on the fence about social media, just be yourself and be consistent and you will attract the right people." "Personal brand is, like you said, extremely important. And when it comes to shaping a personal brand, in my experience, it means being consistent." "It's all about trusting yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else." “Today is the day, tomorrow might never come. And if you show up in love, then you can trust that all is right with how you lived your life."

The episode outlines a comprehensive approach to creating a personal development plan, including evaluating strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, identifying necessary skills, and implementing a structured plan for growth KEY TAKEAWAYS The best investment one can make is in personal development, as it leads to growth and opportunities.

Jeannette discusses the importance of mastering oneself before leading teams effectively. The episode delves into three key areas essential for business leaders: authenticity, emotional intelligence, and resilience, which Jeannette conveys through personal experiences and insights gained from working with large global travel businesses and advising companies. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial for business leaders to focus on self-mastery before leading others effectively. Being authentic as a leader fosters loyalty and commitment from your team and stakeholders. Understanding the emotions of those around you enables better communication and decision-making. Leaders must grow a thick skin to navigate tough decisions and feedback, separating their role from their personal identity. Embrace self-awareness, authenticity, emotional intelligence, and resilience to excel in your leadership journey. BEST MOMENTS "It's not actually a soft skill. It is the foundation of exceptional leadership." "Building resilience as a leader is one of the best things you can do." "You are a custodian of that role. You will not be in that role forever." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Ric Moylan, a leading performance coach, about his journey from a passion for sports to becoming a performance coach, working with both elite athletes and everyday individuals. Ric has coached 10 World Champion athletes in all aspects of their physical development and mindset performance. Household names including boxing legend Ricky Hatton, W.B.A World Super Bantamweight Champion Scott Quigg, ATP Tennis star Liam Broady and many more have all turned to Ric for guidance in their professional careers. Ric shares insights on mindset, the transition from sports to business, and the importance of setting goals and fundraising for a cause. He emphasises the principles of high performance in sports and how they can be applied to business leadership KEY TAKEAWAYS The principle of doing the basics well, as mentioned by the speaker, is crucial for success in both sports and business. Setting goals and having a purpose, such as training for an event or fundraising for a cause, can provide motivation and drive to achieve success. Having someone to talk to and hold you accountable, like a coach, can help in managing stress, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome. Acknowledging that personal growth is a journey with no ceiling and requires constant work on oneself. BEST MOMENTS "I think having that ability is one of the key characteristics of high performance, being able to really focus on what it is they wanted to achieve. Then when they achieved it, they would quickly move on to the next target, the next goal." "One of the biggest principles I talk about is this principle of what I call the lonely walk. Whilst the challenges of sport are very, very different, the physiology, the principles, the feelings are all the same." "The situation is different, but the feelings are the same. So the way we train a high-performance athlete to be at their best in terms of delivering at that crucial moment, whether that's a penalty kick or whether that's a pitch for new business, it is exactly the same." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette looks into the concept of bringing Brave Bold Brilliant principles into business leadership. Drawing from over 30 years of experience as a corporate CEO and advisor, she emphasises the importance of embodying bravery, boldness, and brilliance in leadership roles. The episode is structured around three key pillars: leading oneself, leading the business, and leading high-performing teams. Through practical insights and examples, Jeannette highlights the significance of self-awareness, continuous growth, strategic clarity, team alignment, and fostering a culture of innovation KEY TAKEAWAYS Leaders are encouraged to focus on self-awareness, constant growth, and lifelong learning to improve their leadership skills and personal development.

"Purpose-led businesses, brands that have very strong values that the customer identifies with and really associates themselves with the brand, actually have the highest levels of loyalty and often the best financial results." "Creating brilliant teams is all about winning together or not at all. That's a high-performing team, a team that genuinely has each other's backs."

Jeannette looks into the concept of moving from a good position to a great one, emphasising that good can often be the enemy of great. Drawing from the book "Good to Great" by Jim Collins, Jeannette shares eight key concepts that have been instrumental in her 30 years of business experience, and that have allowed her to make the move from good to great, and beyond to brilliance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Good is the enemy of great, as being in a comfortable position can hinder progress towards excellence. Leadership requires humility, professional will, and a focus on driving sustained results while setting up successors. Having the right people in the right roles, aligned with a shared purpose, is crucial for success. Confronting the brutal facts of reality, both internally and externally, is essential for progress. Achieving greatness involves a combination of passion, expertise, and financial drive, creating a sweet spot for success. BEST MOMENTS "Leadership in any business is essential... Have a good look at how are you leading." "The path to success starts by confronting the brutal facts of your reality... Let's not kid ourselves."

It takes time to get the momentum going." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the concept of "balcony time" for leaders, emphasising the importance of stepping back from day-to-day operations to gain a strategic perspective. Drawing an analogy between being on the dance floor and standing on the balcony, she discusses the need for leaders to balance involvement in daily tasks with strategic thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS Leaders need to proactively create balcony time to step back from day-to-day operations and gain a strategic perspective. Technical vs. Adaptive Challenges: It's crucial for leaders to distinguish between technical challenges with known solutions and adaptive challenges that require more radical changes. Leaders should understand where their team members, stakeholders, and customers are to effectively address challenges and opportunities. Leaders need to interpret the underlying messages and emotions behind what is being communicated to make informed decisions. BEST MOMENTS "Being a leader is about making those difficult decisions, about seeing the bigger picture." "You need to be constantly adjusting, on the dance floor dealing with day-to-day challenges, but also on the balcony observing from a macro perspective." "You have to proactively create balcony time in your diary to have that deep thinking time, to have that observation, so that you're not always in the weeds." "You need to be able to distinguish between a technical challenge and an adaptive challenge." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
