Ep 393Why Aren't There More Female CEOs?
Jeannette discusses the crucial topic of the underrepresentation of female CEOs in the business world. Drawing from her extensive experience as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur, she highlights the progress made in gender diversity but emphasises the need for further action. The episode explores the reasons behind the lack of female CEOs, including cultural norms, biases, and outdated organisational policies KEY TAKEAWAYS Gender diversity, equity, and inclusion are crucial for business success, with diverse teams and boards showing higher growth, profitability, innovation, and better decision-making. Cultural norms, biases, and lack of strategic focus contribute to the underrepresentation of female CEOs in top organisations. Organisations must prioritise gender diversity from the top down, hold leaders accountable, and implement inclusive policies and initiatives to support female talent. Challenging biases, providing mentorship, coaching, and role models, and encouraging women to push past self-limiting beliefs are essential for career progression. Embracing creativity, flexibility in policies, and reshaping traditional roles can create a more inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach leadership positions. BEST MOMENTS "The case is absolutely clear. Quite frankly, diverse teams, diverse boards make more money, have a better position in the market, attract more people to the organisation." "There are some preconceptions around as well, right? Around women can't do an engineering job, or women don't make good mechanics, or women don't make great pilots, etc." "And of course, what I would say as well, for all of us women out there, we need to help ourselves as well. We need to help each other." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette examines the current macroeconomic trends that are shaping the global business landscape, discussing the impact of recent events like the war in Russia and Ukraine on inflation rates and exchange rates, and offering a detailed analysis of how these factors can influence businesses of all sizes KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial for business owners to be aware of macroeconomic trends to understand the broader context in which they operate. The global economy experienced a significant decline during COVID but has since bounced back, with forecasts indicating a return to around 3% growth by 2028. High inflation rates, driven by supply chain issues and geopolitical tensions, have led to increased input costs for businesses, impacting pricing strategies. Exchange rates against major currencies like the US dollar and euro have seen fluctuations, impacting businesses with international operations and input costs. BEST MOMENTS "I've always been a massive believer from my 30 years in business that you need to know what's going on outside of your actual organisation." "Exchange rates definitely play a big, important role." "We've had consumer inflation, as I say, you know, that's been up at double digits in the UK. That is going to come down." "It is by being brave and bold genuinely that you're going to unlock your brilliant for yourself, your teams, your loved ones, your business, your customers."

BEST MOMENTS "I think the biggest challenge, certainly, towards the end was fundraising, without a doubt. It was so tough." "I didn't have that many role models growing up, you know. It was only things that I was literally seeing in newspapers back then, you know." "I think visibility is massive. That's the biggest thing. And especially in our roles, I think, as female firefighters, being visible and out in the public eye and around the fire service as well is a big thing." "I've got to say Bex is my current role model, I have to say that." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses how business leaders and team members can achieve clarity and focus to drive their businesses forward effectively. She introduces a simple model where business opportunities and challenges are categorised into profit, growth, and brand reputation KEY TAKEAWAYS When facing business opportunities or challenges, categorise them into profit, growth, or brand reputation to gain clarity on where to focus your efforts. Allocate time to step back from day-to-day operations, identify opportunities and challenges, and brainstorm solutions with your team. Prioritise the Most Important Area: Determine whether profit, growth, or brand reputation is the key focus for your business at the moment to drive strategic decision-making. Once you've identified the main focus area, create an action plan, assign responsibilities, set KPIs, and establish timelines to ensure progress. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't have good people, talented people in your business or on your team, then of course you're not going to be able to take things forward as you would like."

Ep 381Change Your Body To Transform Your Mind
Jeannette discusses the interconnectedness of physical well-being and mental health, emphasising the importance of paying attention to one's physiology, highlighting how our body language, posture, and energy levels significantly impact our mindset and overall performance KEY TAKEAWAYS Jeannette stresses the significance of paying attention to body language, posture, and tone of voice, as they influence how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. Regular physical exercise is recommended not just for physical health but also for mental well-being, as it releases endorphins and clears the mind, leading to better decision-making and emotional balance. Taking breaks from prolonged desk work is crucial to maintain energy levels and productivity, suggesting simple actions like walking around, getting fresh air, and avoiding long periods of sitting.

Ep 380Making Waves with Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Former President & CEO Celebrity Cruises
Jeannette talks to the fabulous Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Vice Chairman, External Affairs for the Royal Caribbean Group and author of “Making Waves: A Woman’s Rise to the Top Using Smarts, Heart and Courage". Lisa joins the show to talk about her fascinating business background, how she conquered the world of business, and what's coming in her future. Lisa talks about what makes a great leader, why women deserve a more prominent role in all aspects of life, and how the power of courage can transform your path through life. She also discusses her book, and talks about how it is built upon the transferrable lessons from her own life in business. KEY TAKEAWAYS People are drawn to leadership and magnetic power of those who steer the ships. True leaders are those we can lean on during the stormier times. Learning is not just about seeing the things we aspire to. It's about recognising what doesn't work, and calculating that into our life plan, too. Everyone has an ego, but the problems arise when we are led solely by it, instead of using it as an accelerating force. Many who enter business near the top don't arrive with the smarts and the skills that you can only gain by climbing the ladder progressively. BEST MOMENTS "I learned that a great leader is a great leader. And that's what people are looking for. Captains aren't looking for someone who was a captain to be their leader at the end of the day." "I always find it serendipitous that I ended up in the cruise business, hospitality on the ocean. And it's like this. My life came full circle and it was through no plan." "I was a woman who did it. And, you know, the subtitle of Making Waves is a woman's rise to the top using smart and courage." "I've had to be very conscious of that. You know, when I was my first promotion was going from a salesperson to a regional sales manager, which meant that I went from an individual contributor." 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.

Prior to that, she served as President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises from 2014 to 2023, the first woman to take the helm of a Royal Caribbean Group brand and one of the few women then leading a multi-billion dollar brand. Lutoff-Perlo is a recognized trailblazer in the global hospitality industry.

"Recommendations is always the best, isn't it? And or if not try to find somebody localish to someone that you know you can pick up the phone and they can guide you." "I'm enjoying it. I'm learning. you know, and taking it on board. But in 12 months time, or 12 to 18 months time, you know, I'm expecting to start to delegate a lot of these tasks out and kind of then just oversee." "The best advice I received was, despite the challenges in the early days, you know, the advice I received was to go and set it up on your own. And that's exactly what I did."

Ep 377How to Communicate with Impact Through Times of Change
Jeannette discusses the importance of effective communication during times of great change in organisations. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in business, she shares six key tips for navigating through change and ensuring clear and empathetic communication with teams. She focusses on the need to explain the reasons behind the change, create space for individuals to process and ask questions, demonstrate through actions and words, encourage dialogue and provide answers, build engagement through accomplishments, and actively manage oneself as a leader KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is crucial during times of change in an organisation. Explaining the reasons behind the change is important, both on a macro and micro level. Providing space for individuals to process the change and ask questions is essential. Leaders should be mindful of their behaviours and body language, as they are being closely observed during times of change. Encouraging dialogue and actively managing oneself as a leader are key to navigating through change successfully. BEST MOMENTS "Explain why. Why is the change happening, whether that's a reorganisation structure, whether it's a change in direction, whether it's an exit from a business, buying a new business, introducing a new product line, maybe closing certain offices within an organisation, whatever the change is." "Encourage dialogue. Don't shy away from the tough conversations, the fierce conversations that you might need to have, but at the same time, make sure that it doesn't spiral into sort of, you know, a pool of negativity necessarily." "Change is not always bad. Change is often very, very positive. And actually, when you get through the change, if you ever do, because you're always changing and growing, actually, you can find that coming out the other side, you know, people that are still part of that future” This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 375How To Transform Your Life
Jeannette shares four key steps that can completely transform one's life. Drawing inspiration from renowned life coach Tony Robbins, she focusses on the importance of identifying one's current emotional state and choosing to practice a new, empowering emotion. Join Jeannette as she highlights the power of conditioning the mind through new routines and habits to create a positive shift in life, business, and relationships, encouraging you to reflect on your emotions, identify the antidote to negative emotions, and implement new behaviours to achieve your desired emotional state. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step in transforming your life is to identify where you currently live emotionally. Take a moment to reflect on your emotions and determine if you are feeling angry, upset, fearful, joyful, or excited about the future. Once you have identified your current emotions, think about the opposite emotions that you would like to feel. For example, if you are feeling fearful, the antidote could be bravery or courage. Identify the emotions you want to replace the negative ones with. Although it may not be easy to switch from a negative emotion to a positive one, it is important to practice the new emotion. Train your brain to focus on the positive and consciously work towards feeling the desired emotion. Conditioning involves implementing new routines, habits, and behaviours that support the desired emotion. Identify the behaviours that lead to negative emotions and replace them with actions that promote positive emotions. BEST MOMENTS "I really believe when we learn something great, we should share." "The brain is incredibly powerful. And how we train our brain, what we actually concentrate on, training our subconscious mind is often really half-hearted." "Remember, there are no limits to your growth, only the limits that you place on yourself."

Carolin’s extensive experience means that she is lucky enough to have met, interviewed and taught many amazing and fascinating people. Her passion for living well through yoga is sincere and her classes are filled with laughter. Carolin’s first ever interaction with yoga was around 1973, in the USA, where she lived with her uncle and his family. Carolin watched ‘Lilias Yoga and You’, a television show hosted by Lilias Folan, North America’s ‘First Lady of Yoga’. Her simple yoga routines, which Carolin practised religiously day and night, gave her structure, stability and comfort. Her early yoga days back in Düsseldorf, Germany, came during Carolin’s university years. Students had to meet in private houses as there were no yoga studios. Carolin’s fellow yogis at the time were the musicians Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben, best known as the founding members of the electronic band Kraftwerk. Another yoga friend was one of the producers of Electric Music and Rheingold, Lothar Manteuffel. There seemed to be a special connection between music, yoga and Germans searching for a better life. Before Carolin became a British Wheel of Yoga teacher 20 years ago, she used to work as a TV presenter and producer for RTL in Luxemburg and Germany. Throughout her TV career, Carolin met and interviewed all kinds of famous and interesting people, but behind the glittery TV world she always craved for a family of her own and a life in London. When Carolin and her husband Jörg sold their London-based TV production company, they used some of the profits to found and run an award-winning charity, My Life Films, training young filmmakers to produce personalised films for people living with dementia. Today, they are still trustees of this charity and have since overseen the launch of the world’s first streaming platform for people with cognitive needs, My Life TV – a kind of ‘Netflix for Dementia’ – all non-profit. Carolin likes to keep busy and is lucky enough to live in leafy Richmond upon-Thames on the outskirts of London, enjoying the beauty of her neighbourhood with her husband, 3 grown-up daughters, 2 baby granddaughters and labradoodle, Bowie.

Ep 373Once I Did This It Changed My Life
Jeannette discusses the power of reframing and how it can transform our thoughts, actions, and ultimately, our results. By reframing our perspective on challenging situations, disappointments, and setbacks, we can change how we respond and find opportunities for growth and positive outcomes. Jeannette shares personal examples, such as not getting a promotion and dealing with a knee injury, to illustrate the effectiveness of reframing, and stresses the importance of recognising negative emotions, looking at situations from a different angle, taking proactive actions, and ultimately, taking control of our own lives KEY TAKEAWAYS Reframing is a powerful tool that can transform how we think, process, and respond to situations, ultimately affecting the results we get. When faced with a negative situation, it is important to notice and recognise what is happening, and then reframe it by asking ourselves what good could come from it. Taking action is crucial in turning a negative situation into a positive one. By taking small steps, we can create momentum and set ourselves on a different path. Surrounding ourselves with the right people can also be helpful in maintaining a positive mindset and overcoming challenges. BEST MOMENTS "We're able to influence that. We're able to make different choices. So, this is for you. If you find that you're maybe in a little bit of a difficult position right now, you might be going through some change in terms of your business or career." "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right. You've probably heard that before. It's so true. It is so true. Our perspective is absolutely critical." "So if you're feeling in a bit of a fog, you're feeling a bit pissed off, something's happened, you're feeling like the victim, take control back. Reframe and then take positive action."

Ep 3713 Ways To Leave Your Job And Thrive
Jeannette discusses the three ways that individuals can leave their jobs. Whether it's a voluntary decision, being made redundant, or feeling the need to make a sudden leap, Jeannette provides insights and strategies for each scenario, highlighting the importance of emotional well-being and mindset during these transitions, as well as the need to proactively network, update resumes and LinkedIn profiles, and set clear goals for the future KEY TAKEAWAYS There are three ways to leave a job: being made redundant, planning an exit while still employed, or making a spontaneous decision to leave without a plan. The emotional response and strategy will vary depending on the scenario. Money and flexibility are the two main reasons people leave their jobs. It is important to take control of your career and navigate it proactively, as no one else will do it for you. Networking, updating your CV and LinkedIn profile, and setting clear goals are essential steps in leaving a job and finding a new opportunity. BEST MOMENTS "There are three ways that you can leave your job but how you actually feel about the situation emotionally and also the strategy that you will deploy will be different depending on which one of those three scenarios you find yourself in." "There are 70% of people are going to be looking to change jobs this year... So it's a really hot topic” "It's perfectly normal in a scenario where you're being exited from a role, especially if you've been in an organisation for quite some time, that shock it can really be very difficult." "So whatever it is you want, take control. If you're not in control in terms of the original catalyst for leaving a job, i.e. you're being made redundant, or the role has been made redundant, take control back, right?"

Ep 370Mindset & Movement with Sonia Satra - From Acting to Coaching & Becoming an Author
Jeannette is joined by special guest, Sonia Satra, a renowned actress and the founder and CEO of Moticise. If you are a fan of daytime dramas, you may recall the characters of the young Lucy Cooper Spaulding on Guiding Light and the so-called “psycho” nurse Barbara Graham on One Life to Live. Both were played by Sonia Satra, and it led to more roles (including the films Hyacinth, Intrepid and The Drum Beats Twice, and the limited TV series The Men Who Built America and American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story, not to mention an array of producing credits). But Sonia Satra, who still acts, also had another path in mind…life coach, entrepreneur and mind body expert. And now she has authored her first book, What If It Were Easy: Using Movement & Mindset to Create Success in Life, Love, and Business. Sonia discusses her fascinating journey, from her upbringing in a Norwegian-Austrian family to her successful acting career, as well as her experiences growing up as the youngest of three and the influence of her strong, adventurous mother. Sonia also discusses the challenges she faced in the entertainment industry, including the pressure to look a certain way and the impact of the media on her personal life, opening up about her own struggles with an eating disorder and how she overcame it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sonia's upbringing and the influence of her strong, adventurous mother played a significant role in shaping her mindset and approach to life. Sonia's experience with an eating disorder led her to prioritise health and wellness, which eventually became a central focus in her coaching and fitness programs. The Modisize program combines exercise with mindset work, allowing individuals to tap into their creativity and create positive change in their lives. Sonia's future plans include expanding Modisize, working with businesses and entrepreneurs, and potentially returning to acting, including hosting a show. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that I've created this. And I needed to turn it around really fast." "Exercise in, even then, even though I loved it, it also had a little bit of negative connotations." "Exercise is a powerhouse of an opportunity to really allow yourself to create." "If you're feeling really badly, take a look at what you're focusing on." 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.

Ep 369Would You Buy Your Own Business?
Jeannette explores the thought-provoking question of whether one would buy their own business. By shifting the perspective to that of an investor or potential acquirer, she encourages business owners and leaders to assess their businesses objectively. The episode delves into various aspects of due diligence, including finance, legal, tax, commercial, IT and digital, and HR. By examining each area through the eyes of an investor, you’ll gain valuable insights into the health of your businesses and identify areas for improvement or further development KEY TAKEAWAYS Shifting your perspective and asking yourself if you would buy your own business can provide valuable insights and a fresh perspective. Putting yourself in the mindset of an investor or acquirer allows you to see your business from a different angle and identify areas for improvement or opportunities you may have missed. Conducting a detailed due diligence of your business in areas such as finance, legal, tax, commercial, IT and digital, and HR can help you assess the health of your business and identify strengths and weaknesses. Evaluating the financial health of your business, including historic performance, current performance, and future growth potential, is crucial for potential investors or acquirers. BEST MOMENTS "So changing that perspective, putting yourself on the other side of the table is refreshing. I recommend you do this at least once a year, or twice a year if you can." "So to actually go through each of those areas, is our product and service offering differentiated enough? Or is it actually the same as a competitor, and therefore, we're in a weak position?" "Have I got visibility of my succession planning for my team? Who is the caretaker in the event that I need to fill a role very quickly? Who is the successor within 1 year or within 2 to 3 years?" "Ask yourself the question, would you buy your own business? We are looking for a definitive yes here, a yes with confidence." 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.

Regularly checking in on your self-belief, purpose, and action can help you stay on track and achieve your dreams in 2024. BEST MOMENTS "If you don't believe in yourself how can you expect other people to believe in you." "What mark do you want to leave on this world? What's your reason why?"

This includes understanding the considerations, organising the search, and ruling out prospects that are not the right fit. It is crucial to identify what type of business is right for you and align your skills and expertise with the business you choose. This ensures a better chance of success and a smoother transition into ownership. Buying an existing business is often a more stable and secure option compared to starting a business from scratch. Existing businesses have established processes, infrastructure, and cash flow, making it easier to hit the ground running. When selling a business, it is important to run the business as if you were going to sell it. This includes maintaining flawless books and records, addressing major problems, and ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner. BEST MOMENTS "If you do it properly, buying an existing business is a step up from a startup." "Run your business like you have to sell it. Keep flawless books and records, address major problems, and have a transition plan in place." "The pain that they've gone through is just excruciating. But the experience of working together was an unbelievable few years." "Businesses are made up of people and their families. Relationships are everything." 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.

Ep 362Under the Knife with Mr Neil Jain - Surgeon to FA Premiership Footballers
Jeannette interviews orthopaedic surgeon Neil Jain, who shares his journey from growing up in Barrow in Furness to becoming a top-notch orthopaedic surgeon. He discusses the qualities that make a great surgeon, emphasising the importance of patient selection and thoroughness in surgery. Neil also talks about the significance of building a strong doctor-patient relationship and the impact of interpersonal skills in his practice. He shares personal anecdotes, including his first surgical experience and the influence of role models in his career. KEY TAKEAWAYS Becoming a great orthopaedic surgeon requires a combination of factors and skills, including patient selection, thoroughness in surgery, and effective communication with patients. Interpersonal skills and building a strong relationship with patients are crucial for a successful surgeon. Making patients feel comfortable, listening to their needs, and explaining procedures in simple terms are important aspects of patient care. Role models play a significant role in shaping a surgeon's career. Learning from experienced surgeons and picking the best qualities from each mentor can contribute to personal and professional growth. The experience of operating on elite athletes or high-profile individuals is not significantly different from operating on average patients. The core principles of providing quality care and achieving positive outcomes remain the same, although the demands and expectations may vary BEST MOMENTS "I always wanted to do something in sport, whether that was play, be involved in media." "You're reliant upon information from your patient because you want to help them." "Remember, it might be the millionth time you've done it, but it's the first time for that person. Make it special." "I always remember as a student looking at the surgical registrar or the orthopedic registrar thinking, God, they must know so much."

Ep 361How to Exit as a CEO with Ease
Jeannette discusses the important topic of exiting a business, whether as a CEO of a large corporate organisation or as a business owner. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in both roles, she shares valuable insights and tips on how to effectively plan and execute an exit strategy, covering five key areas: learning the exit process, starting early, scoping out options, establishing operational foundations, and considering the impact on people KEY TAKEAWAYS It is recommended to start planning for an exit or transition early on. By having a clear vision of what the next phase looks like and working backwards from there, individuals can take the necessary actions and avoid feeling rushed or unprepared. Depending on whether one is a corporate CEO or a business owner, there are different exit options to consider. For corporate CEOs, it may involve engaging with headhunters or networking for the next CEO role. For business owners, options may include selling to a competitor, private equity investor, or considering a management buyout. Before exiting a role or selling a business, it is crucial to ensure that all systems, processes, and documentation are in place. This includes having the necessary information for due diligence and ensuring that the business can run smoothly without the individual's direct involvement. Managing the impact on people is critical during an exit or transition. This includes considering the anxiety and uncertainty it may cause for the team and stakeholders. For business owners, it may involve maintaining confidentiality among a close-knit team during the selling process BEST MOMENTS "I think it's amazing to ask as many people as possible what their opinions are, what their experience has been, because that is going to give you a great suite of information that you can digest “ "The exit and having the people front and foremost in your mind is critical." "Once you have exited and sold your business, what's the message externally? What's the message to your suppliers, to your customers, making sure the handover of whoever you have sold the business to, you know, is done smoothly, it's done respectfully?" "So let's do it in an elegant way. Let's do it in a respectful way. Let's make sure that when you move on, the business will continue to thrive."

Fintech has the potential to create a more level playing field by making financial services and technology more accessible to a wider range of people.

Ep 358Kate Howell, The Story Behind Borough Market - Surviving a Terrorist Attack
Jeannette interviews Kate Howell, former Communications and Engagement Director for Borough Market in London. They discuss leadership during times of crisis, specifically focusing on Kate's experience managing communications after the 2017 attack on Borough Market. Kate shares valuable insights on leading with empathy, the importance of self-care, and the power of networking and building personal brand. She also reflects on her career journey, transitioning from a corporate role to a plural career, and the impact of community and food in her work KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal branding is about how people perceive you when they think of you. It's important to understand your values and how you want to be perceived in the professional space. Don't be afraid to ask others for their perception of you. This feedback can help you understand how others see you and align your personal brand with your values. Personal branding is not about being big-headed or showing off. It's about confidently talking about your achievements, experiences, and interests in a way that resonates with others. Building a personal brand involves connecting with people who share your values and interests. Networking and engaging with others in your industry can lead to valuable connections and opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "Brand is not colouring in. Communications isn't colouring in. It's a strategic function." "If you get a no right now, maybe it's a no, not at the moment, but might be in the future." "Be kind, treat people as you want to be treated, and if you are in a privileged position, you have to go through that journey to understand yourself." "Lead with value, be a good person, put good out in the world. The law of reciprocity will work its magic at some point."

As part of the Market’s four-person executive, I am working closely with the board to help shape the strategic direction of the Market at what is a pivotal period in the evolution of this historic institution. Following a lengthy period of consultation with stakeholders and external experts, we have recently published our 2030 Strategy and the Market’s first ever Food Policy. When I arrived in my post, Borough Market was widely known, but its brand was under- developed and its reputation had been battered by a series of damaging press stories and disruptive construction projects. I have been highly successful in building Borough Market’s brand and increasing engagement through our many direct channels. Our digital presence is now vast, incorporating a popular website, social media channels with hundreds of thousands of followers, an e-newsletter, digital publications, and a regular podcast series. Our customer magazine has won numerous awards, we have published two critically and commercially successful books, and our in-person events are always heavily attended. I have also ensured that the thoughts of the institution and its traders on topics related to food politics and sustainability are regularly heard through the national media. I helped shape our strategic response to some extremely challenging circumstances, including the 2017 terrorist attack, Brexit and the COVID pandemic, as well as driving positive coverage of the Market’s many amazing people and activities. I have frequently appeared on TV and radio and have worked closely with colleagues to prepare them to do the same.

Ep 357Becoming Your Own Boss - The Top 5 Things They Don't Tell You
Jeannette discusses the five big things that people often overlook when they make the decision to leave their job and become their own boss. Drawing from her own experience as a former corporate CEO turned entrepreneur, she shares valuable insights and advice for those considering or already on this journey. The episode covers topics such as the loneliness that can come with being your own boss, the need for structure and discipline, the different mindset when investing your own money, the importance of personal branding, and the value of building and nurturing a strong network. KEY TAKEAWAYS Making the decision to become your own boss can be a lonely experience. When you leave a job and start your own business, you may find yourself without the support and camaraderie of a team. It's important to find ways to connect with like-minded individuals and build a network of support. Despite seeking freedom, choice, and flexibility, many entrepreneurs find themselves missing the structure that a job provided. Creating a new structure for your day and setting clear goals and priorities can help you stay focused and productive. When you're investing your own money in your business, it feels different than when you were managing a budget for a company. You become more cautious and rigorous in your spending, as every dollar or pound is your own hard-earned cash. It's important to have the right financial support and skills on your team to optimize your investments. Personal brand becomes crucial when you start your own business. In the corporate world, your job title and the reputation of the company you work for may open doors for you. However, as an entrepreneur, your personal brand and reputation are everything. BEST MOMENTS "When you make the decision to jump out of a job and become your own boss, people don't tell you how lonely it is." "Ironically, when I jumped out of corporate, I realized I missed the structure that I had in my job." "When you're investing your own money, it feels very different. You pay much more attention and don't waste money." "Your personal brand becomes a thing when you start your own business. Your reputation is everything." 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.

Iceland has worked towards making tourism more sustainable by investing in infrastructure, encouraging year-round travel, and promoting ethical practices in the industry.

It's giving greater opportunities to people of all genders." "You can't just say, well, we've written a policy now. So we have a policy that things are going to be equal. And it's not really our fault if women aren't applying for the jobs or whatever it is." "I think it's fantastic because so often we will focus on the same old, same old destinations, you know. But we also want to be able to travel widely and have a rich experience." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette's story highlights the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and finding a balance between ambition and enjoying the journey KEY TAKEAWAYS Imposter syndrome is a common challenge that many leaders and entrepreneurs face.

It is important to adapt and adjust strategies when faced with adversity and to reassess goals and priorities when necessary. BEST MOMENTS "Failure is an essential part of the business journey, as well as being the key to success." "I was the only one to go to university in my family... I knew that my life was not going to be just to stay in Manchester." "I always knew I wanted to be the boss and running a big business... Why not be the boss? Why not me?"

Ep 351Sometimes You Have To Go Backwards To Go Forwards
Jeannette discusses the concept of going backwards in order to go forwards in life and business. She shares personal examples from her career and life where she had to take a step back or sideways in order to ultimately move forward. From struggling to find a job after graduating to making a sideways move to a different industry, she emphasises the importance of embracing change and learning from setbacks KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes in life and business, it is necessary to go backwards in order to go forwards. This means that setbacks or taking a step back can actually lead to future progress and growth. Life is not always a straight path, and there can be many different routes and choices to make. It is important to keep it real and share our journeys authentically, as success is not always linear. Going backwards or sideways can provide an opportunity for reflection and gaining clarity. It allows us to reassess our goals and identify alternative options that may lead to greater success. Embracing setbacks, rejections, and failures as learning experiences is crucial. These moments can provide valuable lessons and pave the way for future opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "Life isn't always a straight path... we might have a perfect plan, but then it doesn't quite work out that way” "I had to go backwards in order to go forward... I graduated with a first, but then had to take any job I could get." "Not everything is rosy in the garden, you're going to get knockbacks, you're going to get rejections, you're going to fail loads, just accept it, embrace it, take it as learning." "Do not worry if you need to go backwards to go forward... the worst thing you can do is sit in a situation which you're not happy with, you're not progressing, you're not getting the results that you want."

Ep 350Chris Marsh - Life & Loves of a Shaman
Jeannette talks to Chris Marsh, an analytical hypnotherapist and shamanic healer, who shares his fascinating journey from a career in IT to becoming a shaman, discussing his experiences with spiritual healing, past lives, and ancestral trauma. Chris explains the concept of shamanic healing and how it combines various modalities such as Reiki, mediumship, and plant medicine, and focusses upon the importance of self-awareness and self-love in the healing process, offering practical advice for those interested in embarking on their own journey of self-discovery. KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-awareness is a crucial starting point for personal growth and self-discovery. By becoming aware of our reactions and behaviours, we can better understand ourselves and identify triggers that may be holding us back. Taking time for self-love and self-care is essential. It is not selfish to prioritise our own well-being and give ourselves the time and space we need to recharge and nurture our own needs. Finding the right therapist or healing modality is important. Building trust and rapport with a therapist who aligns with our beliefs and values can greatly enhance the healing process. The mind-body connection is powerful. Our mental well-being can have a significant impact on our physical health. Stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical ailments, highlighting the importance of addressing our mental and emotional well-being. BEST MOMENTS "The word actually comes from Siberia originally, and the Siberian shamans migrated across to the US and the Americas." "Everybody can do the healing work. Everybody's got that connection to spirit and to enable you to get that connection and reconnect to it." "Everybody comes with a spiritual purpose, I believe. So I think it's a combination." "I think we're all born with a certain physiology of how our minds work, like a blueprint."

Helping people become brilliant by helping them take back control of their lives and find true fulfilment. Using a number of healing tools to resolve the root cause traumas and situations that resulted in the fears and blocks that hold them back in life. Chris spent 23 years in the IT industry, from software developer, to project manager, to head of software development for a market leading healthcare company managing 65 software professionals. My passion for supporting others with their mental health came from years of coping with his own extremities of anxiety, stress, depression IBS and migraines that left him exhausted, burnt out and regularly ill. Always determined to avoid medication and taking long term time away from work, and feeling abandoned by mainstream healthcare, Chris spent over ten years in search of a solution. Devouring countless books and online resources, then discovering mindfulness and alternative healthcare, which took him through Yoga, Acupuncture, meditation, and Reiki. Ultimately finding Analytical Hypnotherapy enabled him to let go of the core negative beliefs and behaviours that were creating his symptoms and holding him back. Immediately Chris started learning the same therapy process and within 12 months had quite the IT industry all together and was running his business full time. Since then Chris has expanded his spiritual growth and healing learning Shamanic practice, having completed three 12 months programmes is working with his partner Tasha to heal and teach others the shamanic way with 1 on 1 healing and shamanic retreats. www.developlink.com www.facebook.com/DevelopLink www.instagram.com/developlink_uk/ www.linkedin.com/company/developlink-uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

Ep 349How To Create Unstoppable Habits to Drive Success
Jeannette shares valuable insights on how to create good habits in order to achieve desired results, drawing inspiration from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Jeannette breaks down the process into four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. By making habits obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, you can learn how to implement and maintain positive habits in your lives KEY TAKEAWAYS Creating good habits involves four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. These stages are essential for establishing and maintaining habits. Making the cue obvious is crucial for starting a good habit. This can be done by creating a habit scorecard and implementing specific intentions. Habit stacking is a useful technique where a new habit is added onto an existing, well-established habit. This makes it easier to incorporate the new habit into daily routines. Designing your environment to support your desired habits can reduce friction and make it easier to follow through. This can include removing temptations and setting up specific spaces for different tasks BEST MOMENTS "It takes time to get fit. It takes time to lose weight and it isn't immediate." "Never miss twice because if you miss twice and then you miss a third time, then you miss a fourth time, that good habit is going to be much harder to start and it may, you may never get it back." "What started out as being very difficult for me to start the podcast now is much more seamless." "There are no limits to what you can achieve. But by having these good habits in your daily routine, your weekly routine, your monthly routine, whatever it is, it is going to allow you to unlock that true potential in yourself."

Maxine also delves into the benefits of collagen and how Absolute Collagen has become a go-to product for both men and women, promoting overall well-being and empowering individuals to embrace their true selves KEY TAKEAWAYS Absolute Collagen is a liquid collagen supplement that is designed to improve hair, skin, nails, and overall well-being. It is made from hydrolyzed marine collagen, which is highly absorbable and stimulates the production of collagen in the body. The product is suitable for both men and women, and its audience is getting younger as people recognise the importance of collagen for prevention and overall health.

Ep 347Words Have Power, Choose Them Wisely
Jeannette discusses the power of words and how they can greatly impact our lives. She challenges the old saying that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," stating that words do have the power to hurt or uplift us. Jeannette delves into four key areas where words play a significant role: the inner dialogue we have with ourselves, the words we use when communicating with others, the tone of our language and body language, and the importance of word replacement to shift from negative to positive thinking KEY TAKEAWAYS Jeannette encourages being conscious of the words we use when communicating with others. Use motivational, supportive, and encouraging words instead of aggressive or negative ones. Our body language and tone of voice can convey more than the words themselves. Jeannette stresses the importance of projecting positivity, energy, and confidence through body language and tone. Replace negative words like "but" with more positive alternatives like "and" or "so." Replace phrases like "I have to" with "I get to" to shift from a negative to a positive mindset. Believe in yourself and create the life you deserve. Jeannette encourages retraining our brains to believe in our abilities and potential BEST MOMENTS "Words are like verbal bullets. They can shred you." "The stories that you tell yourself are really important. You need to train your inner brain." "Choosing those words is really important. It can uplift, motivate, guide, support, or it can really crush people." "I am entrepreneurial. I am an entrepreneur. I am a great corporate CEO, but I am also an amazing entrepreneur." 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.
