It’s vital to seek advice and support from experienced individuals and peer groups in the business journey. It’s crucial to keep an eye on self-care and personal growth as a business owner, including therapy and taking time for oneself. We must have relatable role models and foster the need for more diverse representation in entrepreneurship. BEST MOMENTS "I think the important thing is, is having someone who can support you, not just on good days, in bad days." "I think it's really important to notice that each and every one has transferable skills. You've just got to pick it out and actually write it down." "I've got to be so aware for me mentally. It's just some people are more susceptible to it than others, and I get that." "Transferable skills are the most underrated thing. That is the most important thing." 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 shares a formula for success to kick off the new year in the best way possible. The formula is belief plus purpose plus action equals results. She focusses upon the importance of believing in oneself and surrounding oneself with supportive people. Jeannette also talks about the significance of having a clear purpose and reason why, and provide a model called the Vision Cascade to help listeners define their goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS The formula for success in 2024 is belief plus purpose plus action equals results. Belief starts with oneself and involves doing things that make you feel good, visualizing your future, and surrounding yourself with supportive people. Purpose is about knowing your reason why and what you genuinely want from life. It involves getting clear on your vision and breaking it down into focus areas. Action is essential in achieving success. It requires having a plan and taking steps towards your goals, whether it's starting with the end and working backwards or simply taking action today. 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?" "But have a plan and take the action. Because when you do that, that's when stuff starts to happen." 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.

His book ‘How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price’ program has sold over 100,000 copies in more than 80 countries. He emphasises the importance of acquiring the right knowledge, understanding what type of business is right for you, and being prepared for the challenges and imperfections that come with buying an existing business. Richard also discusses the benefits of buying versus starting a business and provides tips for business owners who are considering selling their businesses, such as maintaining flawless books and records, addressing major problems, and ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner. KEY TAKEAWAYS When buying a business, it is important to acquire the necessary knowledge and information to make informed decisions throughout the process. 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."

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."

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."

Jeannette discusses the topic of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and aims to demystify the process for listeners, focussing on the benefits of M&A for business growth and provides practical tips for a successful merger or acquisition. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in business and involvement in numerous M&A deals, Jeannette shares insights on the importance of understanding the reason for the deal, the length of the process, the significance of due diligence, the prioritisation of people, and the need for a dedicated deal team KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand the reason for the merger or acquisition and the importance of negotiation. Be prepared for the process to take longer than anticipated. Conduct thorough due diligence to fully understand the business and its value. Prioritise the people involved, including succession planning and cultural integration. Assemble a dedicated deal team with the right expertise and resources. BEST MOMENTS "Mergers and acquisitions can be a great way to scale up fast, to grow very, very fast." "Due diligence is everything. You must do a very thorough job here on both sides of the table."

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." 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.

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.

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.

Jeannette is joined by Aisling Connaughton, the founder and owner of Cyd Connects, a sustainability consultancy. Aisling shares her journey from a career in the beauty industry to becoming a champion for sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices. She discusses the importance of values and how they have influenced her business and personal life. Aisling also highlights the need for diverse thinking and the role of mentorship in driving positive change KEY TAKEAWAYS Aisling's journey into sustainability began during her corporate career in the beauty industry, where she worked for companies like L'Oreal and Estée Lauder.

Jeannette is joined by the fabulous Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, to engage in a lively conversation about her role as the First Lady and her passion for gender diversity, equity, and inclusion. Eliza shares her journey of moving to Iceland for love and how she has used her platform to advocate for positive change. They discuss Iceland's progress in gender equality, the importance of tourism to the country's economy, and the need for sustainable practices. Eliza also opens up about her experiences as a working mom and offers valuable insights on finding balance and being present in the moment. KEY TAKEAWAYS Iceland has made significant progress in gender equality, with nearly 50% of MPs being women and being ranked as the best country in the world for women by the World Economic Forum. The journey towards gender equality in Iceland has been a combination of top-down approaches, such as government legislation and quotas, and grassroots efforts to advocate for change and amplify underrepresented voices. Tourism is a vital sector for Iceland's economy, with the country offering a diverse range of attractions, including natural wonders, cultural festivals, and culinary experiences. Iceland has worked towards making tourism more sustainable by investing in infrastructure, encouraging year-round travel, and promoting ethical practices in the industry. BEST MOMENTS "Just because we're the closest doesn't mean we're there yet. We still have a lot of inequalities that we need to be tackling." "It's levelling the playing field for everyone. 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 shares her appearance on the incredible Beyond The Fail podcast, hosted by Jeremy Wood, in which she shares her journey from a young ambitious graduate to leading major companies like Emerging Markets at TUI and Travel Division of Saga PLC. She discusses her biggest business failures, including a challenging business deal in Moscow surrounded by gun violence and the consequences of choosing the wrong location for her new business. 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’s vital to instil positive self-talk and surround oneself with supportive individuals. While Jeannette achieved significant milestones in her career, she acknowledges that she could have taken more time to appreciate the experiences and environments she was in. The lack of diversity in leadership positions, particularly in the corporate world, remains a significant issue. There is a need for more female role models and advocates for greater diversity and inclusion across all aspects of business. Even experienced entrepreneurs face challenges and unexpected obstacles. 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?"

The city quickly implemented measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents and visitors, while also maintaining communication and engagement through innovative campaigns.

Dubai aims to be a leader in sustainable tourism and is committed to achieving its net-zero goals by 2050. BEST MOMENTS "We were blessed by not having oil or gas to rely on.

"We want people to be able to afford to come to Dubai regardless of their budget. Even three-star hotels in Dubai can compete with many five stars around the world."

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."

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." 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.

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.

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." 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 Maxine Laceby, the founder and former CEO of Absolute Collagen, who discusses her journey of self-discovery and entrepreneurship. Maxine shares her personal story of starting her business from her kitchen table and the challenges she faced along the way. She talks about the importance of authenticity and being true to oneself, as well as the power of emotional intelligence in building a successful brand. 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. It’s crucial to have authenticity and be true to oneself in business. Maxine believes in building a brand that reflects her values and principles, and she encourages others to do the same. Absolute Collagen is committed to doing the right thing and has pursued B Corporation status, which recognises businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. BEST MOMENTS "I had that revelation that I no longer needed to put that hat on. I no longer needed to show up as what people want me to be." "I just wanted to be Maxine and nothing else, nothing more, nothing less. And that's what I believe our brand stands for." "We are an authentic company. We share the same values, the same principles, same morals, and that makes life a lot easier." "We want her to be seen, to be heard.

Absolute Collagen was named 4th in The Sunday Times Hundred and Maxine has been awarded a Natwest Everywomen award amongst others. Integrity and giving back in all areas are inherent to Maxine personally and professionally, and why she became a patron of the Prince's Trust in 2021.

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."

"It’s really just a case of not necessarily managing micromanaging, but the big game changer has been hiring people with experience” "If you want to be able to step back or focus on what you should do.

BEST MOMENTS "I think it's so important that we spend time on ourselves and really thinking about what's going to give us joy, what's going to give us fulfilment." "Money can help other people, whether you want to set up a charity or donate. So I think there's a naivety around money, which I think is not healthy." "I think people sometimes don't admit that they want money. Everyone wants money. Who doesn't want money? I'm sorry, I think that's absolute, they're kind of lying to themselves really." "I'm a huge advocate for collaboration and networks and connecting the dots between people. What connections can they bring to you? Any connection, any human interaction, whether it's virtual or in person, it's got to be a good thing."

Adele shares her experiences of overcoming challenges, including the financial struggles of being a self-funded athlete, and the importance of having supportive relationships and role models. She also highlights the need for greater visibility and investment in women's sports, emphasising the value that individual athletes can bring to businesses and the wider community KEY TAKEAWAYS Adele acknowledges that she had natural athletic ability from a young age, but she also emphasises the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success. Talent may open doors, but it is the effort that takes you to the top. Pushing through emotions and fulfilling your commitments, helps to demonstrate resilience and determination. There is a need for more female role models in sports, particularly in individual sports like athletics. Adele believes that visibility and support from businesses are crucial in promoting women in sports and creating equal opportunities. Adele encourages businesses to consider investing in individual athletes and not just team sports. She suggests that athletes can offer valuable skills and insights to businesses, such as motivation, inspiration, and resilience, which can benefit employees and contribute to better results BEST MOMENTS "I think there is a balance of obviously recovery is huge in what I do and I have to make sure I'm sleeping and I'm getting rest and I think I have this year become better at recognising when I'm getting run down because that's when you have to say I need a day off." "I think that to see change, there needs to be a merge between investment into sport, to see it not just as sport. Because I think that's sometimes the hesitancy with a lot of, I guess, businesses, they think, well, sport doesn't align with what we do. Sport aligns with everything that businesses do." "I think we really need to make it clear that it's never about males versus females. I think that it's always about females standing on their own on the same level as males, not to fight against males or to compete against males. It's about having the equal opportunity, the equal visibility." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the topic of body confidence and its impact on mindset and overall well-being. She acknowledges the pressure created by social media and societal expectations to look a certain way, but emphasises the importance of embracing one's authentic self. Jeannette also shares personal experiences and interviews with two successful business owners who promote feeling good about oneself, providing tips for building self-confidence, such as establishing a well-being routine, seeking out positive role models, being mindful of social media influences, treating oneself, and valuing time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace your authentic self, and learn to get comfortable with who you are and embracing your unique qualities and attributes. Establishing a routine that focuses on both physical and mental well-being can have a significant impact on how you feel about yourself. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, and visualisation. Seek out role models who inspire you and help you become a better version of yourself. These role models can be found in various areas of life, including media, friends, family, and colleagues. While social media can have positive aspects, it's important to be aware that the images and content presented may not always reflect reality. Avoid comparing yourself to unrealistic standards and be cautious about the content you consume. Be kind to yourself and reward yourself for your accomplishments, no matter how big or small. Additionally, recognize the value of time and use it wisely, focusing on activities and relationships that contribute to your personal growth and happiness BEST MOMENTS "There's so much pressure out there in terms of images on social media, maybe sometimes we think that we need to look a certain way, behave a certain way and that can really impact how we come across, how we feel about ourselves and also just our general mental well-being." "But if we can enhance that and make you feel good about that, then that's an amazing thing to do." "So, you know, to take a collagen supplement, it's not all about wrinkles on your face, but in general around your joints, kind of your muscle health, etc." "We all have different parts of our body that we don't like, we're not happy with. We've got wobbly bits, right?

Barbara shares her illustrious career journey, from her early exposure to different cultures and languages to her various roles in the travel and luxury industries. She discusses the importance of sisterhood and supporting women in business, as well as the power of being true to oneself. Barbara also highlights the unique aspects of Silversea Cruises, including their focus on luxury experiences in remote destinations and their commitment to sustainability, sharing insights into the company's newest ship, Silver Nova, and the combination of Silversea's heritage with the resources and support of Royal Caribbean Group KEY TAKEAWAYS The company places a strong emphasis on its crew, considering them to be its biggest asset. The crew's empathy and training are key in delivering exceptional service and anticipating guests' needs. Silversea's acquisition by Royal Caribbean Group has provided the brand with the necessary resources and support to grow and innovate while maintaining its distinct identity. Silversea's newest ship, Silver Nova, showcases the combination of Silversea's heritage and Royal Caribbean's engineering capabilities. It features an asymmetrical design, allowing for more glass and natural light, as well as an open pool deck that offers unobstructed views of the destination. The company is committed to sustainability and has built Silver Nova to be the most sustainable ship in its class, reducing greenhouse emissions by 40% compared to previous ships. The partnership with Royal Caribbean Group has enabled Silversea to invest in sustainable practices and technologies. BEST MOMENTS "Success is a very dangerous teacher, because the day we believe we got it all, that's when, first of all, I think we stop enjoying because part of working for me is also learning new things every day." "I always consider my biggest strength the fact that I was born blonde with blue eyes, because many stupid men, they think you're stupid. And so they treat you like a blonde." "The strength about an asymmetric ship is really the consumer benefits that come out of it. So the whole structure of the ship is inside, which allows the whole ship to be built in glass. So the first thing, which is difficult to explain on a podcast, but this is really the ship of light." "So sometimes, as much as we were talking before about just open yourself to the universe and be out there, but also, don't be afraid of saying no if it doesn't feel right, because it's much harder to say no than yes." 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.

Paul's upbringing and his uncle's Holocaust survival story have shaped his values and perspective on life.

BEST MOMENTS "The most important thing I can do is set up an organization which really believes that's the most important thing." "I think a lot of time in leadership, it's the questions you ask, which have the biggest multiplier effect, rather than anything else you do on flashy presentations and that sort of stuff." "I genuinely believe I've been really, really lucky in life. And I look at the background, what I've just described my back from a really poor background East End." "I think over the years, I think I've definitely learned that the best type of leader I can be is being the best me."

Social media has been a valuable platform for showcasing her artwork, attracting clients, and debunking false information. The Prince's Trust, which provides many young entrepreneurs with mentorship, workshops, and grants to help start and grow businesses, has become a valued institution. Their many incentives can help boost confidence and improve pitching skills. Caitlin acknowledges that she has experienced moments of self-doubt and imposter syndrome throughout her journey. However, she emphasises the importance of pushing through and not giving up, reminding herself that she is capable and deserving of success BEST MOMENTS "Surround yourself with the right people. Having a mentor like Lucy has been amazing. She throws me into opportunities and pushes me out of my comfort zone." "I always thought it was like getting young people into some sort of opportunity, but I wasn't really sure what. But a girl I was in university with told me about the Prince's Trust and how they support young entrepreneurs." "I've had moments of imposter syndrome, thinking, 'Am I really at a place in my career where I can talk to other people about business?' But you just have to keep pushing and not give up." "Not everyone is going to like your work, and that's okay. Once you let go of trying to please everyone, you can have fun and create for yourself and your audience."

Jeannette is joined by Anita Mendiratta, a strategic advisor, renowned diplomat, and author of the upcoming book "The Call to Leadership: Unlocking the Leader Within in Times of Crisis." Anita shares her insights on what makes a great leader during a crisis, emphasising the importance of a leader's wiring and their ability to interpret their role in the moment. She discusses her career journey and the catalyst for writing her book, which explores the experiences and lessons of influential leaders during the global pandemic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Great leaders have a clear understanding of their purpose and the motivation behind their actions. They lead with a focus on something bigger than themselves, whether it's protecting their team, their organisation, or their community. Leaders need to have clarity on what aspects of a crisis they can control and take action on. By understanding this, they can make informed decisions and create a sense of stability amidst uncertainty. Leaders should be able to articulate and visualise the potential negative impacts of a crisis. By doing so, they can better prepare and develop strategies to mitigate those risks. Effective leaders think beyond the immediate challenges and consider the future. They focus on how to navigate through the crisis and create opportunities for growth and recovery. BEST MOMENTS "I fundamentally believe that if we waste that time, if we spend all of that time having all of these great conversations about what we're not going to do again to make sure that we course correct and we forget those, we have wasted one of the best opportunities we've had as a bonding agent for our industry." "No one ever stopped and said, Paul, how are you? No one had ever asked these leaders how they were. They were asking about the businesses." "It's when decisions are made in a vacuum and during a crisis like we found with COVID, information was emerging in different ways, different times, different forms, and also different truths. People need information. It's food when there's a state of crisis." "My point of view is always this, it's very easy to criticise and look backwards when we're in our comfort zone. But when we reflect back to those moments… we did not know. We did not have the blessing of information. We did not have any meaningful understanding. So we relied on people."

Jeannette delves into the topic of ESG (environment, social, and governance) and its significance in today's business landscape, beginning by explaining the meaning of ESG and its relevance to businesses of all sizes. Jeannette also talks about the fact that ESG is not just for large organisations, but also for small and medium-sized enterprises, highlighting the growing number of companies embracing ESG and the positive impact it has on customers, employees, profits, and investment. KEY TAKEAWAYS ESG is not limited to large organisations. 67% of private owned businesses and 79% of venture capital or private equity backed businesses have adopted an ESG agenda. Embracing ESG can have a positive impact on customers, employees, profits, and investment. 88% of consumers are more loyal to companies with a strong ESG focus, and companies with strong ESG policies have 14% higher employee satisfaction. Addressing climate change is crucial for businesses, as 80% of the world's largest companies report exposure to climate-related risks. Climate-related weather events are projected to cost businesses $1.3 trillion by 2026. ESG can affect operating profits by as much as 60%. By adopting ESG practices, businesses can unlock opportunities worth $12 trillion and generate 380 million jobs if the UN Sustainability Development Goals are achieved. BEST MOMENTS "88% of public listed businesses have an ESG agenda." "If you're not doing the right things in terms of environment, social and governance, that could have a negative impact on your profitability by up to 60%” "Those companies which adopt a strong ESG policy and procedures and best practice actually have 14% higher employee satisfaction than those that don't." "88% of consumers are more loyal to companies that have a strong ESG focus." 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 is joined by Nick Thorpe to reflect upon the highs and lows of his journey as a property investor and business coach. Nick shares his background in the military and how it shaped his discipline and communication skills. He discusses his transition into the world of business, starting with property investments and eventually expanding into multiple businesses, and also opens up about his experiences with mental health and the importance of self-care. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s vital to maintain physical and mental health. Nick believes that health should never be compromised and should always be a top priority. Following an essential morning routine, including drinking coffee, getting fresh air, and focusing on top tasks for the day will help you in planning your diary around energy levels rather than specific tasks. Try to match energy levels when working with others. By doing so, you can maintain your own energy and avoid feeling drained after coaching sessions or meetings. Nick encourages entrepreneurs to solve problems and make decisions without overthinking or getting caught up in the fear of failure. Selecting a supportive and compatible partner is crucial for personal and professional success BEST MOMENTS "You just keep going, you know, you just keep doing it." "I was more bothered that the things I'd seen and been involved in never really came up in anything that I talked about." "It's about being fully present, wherever here is right now." "Health would always be there, income and life can fluctuate up and down." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette presents a very special episode, in which she made a guest appearance at an exclusive, business-focussed seminar alongside famed business mind Gerald Ratner and powerhouse businesswoman Natalie Bailey, discussing her life, background and business journey, as well as answering some very testing questions about how to succeed in life and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace fear and take risks, as it is often through pushing ourselves that we achieve growth and success. Continuously improve yourself through learning, reading, and seeking new skills. This mindset helps to build confidence and self-belief. Failure is a natural part of the journey to success. Learn from your mistakes and use them as opportunities for growth and learning. Understand your why and what you want to achieve in life. Having a clear purpose helps to provide focus and motivation during challenging times. Build strong teams and surround yourself with individuals who support and inspire you. Choose to spend time with people who lift you up and energise you, rather than those who bring you down BEST MOMENTS "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right." "I think being bold is about the impact. Now, that just isn't always about money. It can be whatever is right for you in your life." "If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough” "You can't always win, but don't be afraid to fail." "Be yourself, everyone else is taken."

Jeannette is interviewed by Lucy Ingram of the Riding High Movement, and shares her journey from starting out as a government economist to becoming her own boss. Jeannette discusses the challenges she faced in transitioning to entrepreneurship, including the shock of having to manage everything on her own and the need for structure and discipline. The interview is a set of inspiring lessons and practical advice for anyone looking to make a bold career change and pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a clear purpose and knowing why you do what you do is crucial for staying motivated and focused. It helps you navigate challenges and make decisions aligned with your values and goals. Surrounding yourself with talented individuals who share your vision and values is key to success. Great teams are essential for achieving your goals and driving your business forward. Always prioritise the needs and satisfaction of your customers. Stay connected to them, understand their wants and needs, and make decisions that align with providing the best possible experience for them. Challenges and failures are opportunities for growth and learning. Embrace them as part of the journey and use them to improve and evolve. Don't be afraid to take risks and learn from your mistakes. BEST MOMENTS "You're only ever as good as the people around you. Smart leaders recognise they don't have to know everything, but they have to bring amazing people on the journey with them." "The irony is that the freedom and choice you seek as an entrepreneur can be overwhelming. Going from having all the resources to just you, your phone, and your laptop can be scary." "If it's not in my diary, it's just not going to happen. I have to be super disciplined with my time and schedule to manage three businesses and a podcast." "We made a big decision to relocate and invest in property, but it didn't go as planned. Instead of sitting and moaning, we up-sticked again and moved to a new location."

During a diverse 21 year career in the Royal Navy, Lucy has served all over the world including Iraq, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe, and has achieved a variety of accolades through many years of competitive military snowboarding at the highest level. During her 10 years as a Physical Training Instructor she learned how fitness and wellbeing drives success and how dedication to a goal can lead to awesome results. Lucy later trained to become an Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor and was privileged to work at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre. It was in this role she learned the value of a growth mindset, both through educational development and being inspired daily by the strength of the patients she rehabilitated back from catastrophic injuries. Lucy left the Royal Navy in 2022 to become a full-time property developer and business entrepreneur. Lucy’s experiences during her military career have enabled her to cultivate the techniques of building a bulletproof mindset including the power of resilience and personal growth; this has been pivotal in growing multiple businesses and a seven-figure portfolio.

Jeannette discusses the importance of having a mentor to scale up one's career, business, and life. Drawing from personal experience as both a mentee and a mentor, she shares ten invaluable tips on finding the perfect mentor, including committing to the mentorship journey, identifying the desired experience and values in a mentor, conducting thorough due diligence, arranging face-to-face meetings, and speaking directly to the mentor's previous mentees. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before seeking a mentor, make sure you are fully committed and ready to invest the necessary time, finances, and emotional energy into the mentorship. When looking for a mentor, consider their experience in your specific industry or sector, as well as their values, behaviours, and style to ensure a good fit. Conduct thorough due diligence on potential mentors, including checking their social media presence, conducting online searches, and speaking to their current or past mentees. Once you have identified potential mentors, arrange face-to-face meetings to get to know them better and ask about the results they have achieved for their mentees. Additionally, speak directly to their mentees to gain insights into their mentoring style and effectiveness. BEST MOMENTS "I'm a massive believer in mentors, in coaches. I have had mentors and coaches throughout my entire career, always at pivotal moments where I have either had a promotion, I've been setting up a business or I have been, you know, kind of shifting from one world to the next." "I'm a big believer in you have to have direct experience before you can talk on any topic." "The trust in the relationship between a mentor and a mentee is paramount." "We only have one life, make it count." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette shares her biggest inspiration and her own formula for success with the amazing Iain Drudy on his show, Fearless Inspiration. Jeannette talks about the importance of running a business with a heart, prioritising people and customers over profits, and her journey from a corporate career in the travel industry to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her passion for empowering women in the boardroom. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s crucial to put customers and people first in business, rather than solely focusing on financial gains. By prioritising customer satisfaction and creating a value-driven business, financial success will naturally follow. All forms of diversity, including gender, LGBTQ, and social diversity, are important. Creating an inclusive environment not only benefits society but also leads to better financial results and customer experiences. It’s important to take responsibility, learn from failures, and maintain a positive mindset to move forward and achieve success. Leaders have a responsibility to inspire their teams, customers, and stakeholders. Leading by example, being authentic, and treating everyone with respect are key aspects of inspiring leadership. There are 3 S's we can use to break through barriers and turn inspiration into action. State refers to mindset and energy levels, story involves the beliefs and narratives we tell ourselves, and strategy focuses on taking action and implementing plans. By addressing these three aspects, individuals can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. BEST MOMENTS "If you put your customer and your people first, and you do the right thing with a great idea that's unique and different, then the money will follow." "Everyone has skills and contributions that they can make, but you have to really create an environment where proactively you're encouraging those opportunities for all." "Don't lose hope when bad things happen, but own it, take responsibility, don't blame others." "Change your state, change your energy, go to the gym, get a positive endorphin rush, and then the world seems more open to possibilities." "Fundamentally, every person has good in them. I like to think most people are good." 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.

Are you looking to get the top job? To become the CEO, an MD? If the answer is yes, then Jeannette’s here to explain to you exactly where the best businesses are finding their CEOs and leaders. Armed with this invaluable information, you’ll find it much easier to step up when it counts and grab that job of your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS During COVID, there was a huge shift in terms of CEO turnover – leaving organisations and joining new ones. The number departing for new jobs fell by 10% in 2020, to just 8.9% in 2021. More women were appointed as CEOs in 2023, but women are still massively under-represented in terms of the global numbers. 87% of new CEOs were men. It’s not always ideal to move externally in order to get your dream role. If you wish to ascend internally, then start engaging with key decision makers and stakeholders – let them know how valuable you are. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you’re ambitious and you really want to step up, then what do you need to be aware of?’ ‘That turnover figure actually went back up in 2022’ ‘You’re going to need to dig in, raise your profile, get networking like mad and really engage’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Not everything goes well, but it's how we deal with it that's so important, isn't it?" "Don't be afraid of failure. Sometimes it's by really just embracing that and go, well, how bad can it be? Unless someone is going to die in this situation, anything else from that is upside." "Sometimes the stories that you tell yourself can be the most damaging and can really constrain you." "Find your purpose. What's your purpose? What's your reason? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? What legacy do you want to leave for your family, for your kids, for the people you care about?" 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 Alayna Francis, a senior communications leader and philanthropist about her diverse career journey - from working in book publicity to crisis communications and branding. Alayna shares her insights on effective crisis communication strategies, emphasizing the importance of taking ownership and addressing issues in a timely manner. She also highlights the significance of personal branding and adapting to cultural differences when working internationally. KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is crucial in any organization, especially during a crisis. It is important to respond promptly and effectively, addressing the issue and providing accurate information to alleviate confusion or misinformation. Personal brand is important in career development. Being authentic and true to oneself while also adapting to cultural differences and respecting others' boundaries can help build strong relationships and make a positive impact. Philanthropy and giving back to society are important values. Supporting disadvantaged individuals and groups, promoting equity, and leveling the playing field in areas such as sports and nutrition can have a significant impact on people's lives. Cultural awareness and adaptability are essential when working internationally. Understanding and respecting different cultural nuances, communication styles, and approaches to business can lead to successful collaborations and relationships. BEST MOMENTS "Communication is kind of like air. You don't realize how important it is until you don't have any." "Even if a company may be guilty of malfeasance, if they take ownership and address it in a meaningful way, that always mutes what the situation is." "You have to get into the core of what the issue is. The most crucial point is how you respond and the amount and timing of your response." "You have to be your authentic self, but then also soften enough or sculpt your approach and who you are in order to make people feel comfortable around you." 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 shares valuable insights on how to secure that next big promotion. Drawing from her extensive experience in recruiting and promoting individuals, as well as her own successful career progression, Jeannette provides practical advice on six key areas. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before pursuing a promotion, it's important to have a clear understanding of your next ideal move, whether it's within your current organization or externally. Consider the role, organization, and potential career progression. Even for internal promotions, having a well-crafted CV is important to demonstrate your accomplishments and readiness for the next step. Being visible and known for your expertise can increase your chances of being considered for promotions. Don't assume that others know about your career aspirations. Have proactive conversations with your boss and other relevant stakeholders to express your goals and seek feedback on what you need to do to be considered for a promotion. This will help you create a plan and demonstrate your commitment to growth. BEST MOMENTS "You cannot assume that people know what your next move is going to be." "Networking should just be part and parcel of what you do. Put yourself out into the world, not give to receive, just give." "Do more than you are paid to do. Volunteer for projects, volunteer to speak, volunteer to put your hand up as much as you possibly can." "Your network is your net worth."

Jeannette also explores the implications of this move for tour operators and other travel businesses in the UK KEY TAKEAWAYS Uber, known for disrupting the cab hailing market, is now expanding into the travel space, which could potentially impact travel businesses in the UK and other markets. After years of being a loss-making business, Uber has achieved profitability under the leadership of CEO Dara. In the period from April to June 2023, Uber announced profits of $326 million, compared to a loss of $713 million in the prior year. Uber has established a strong brand and a technology platform that has contributed to its success in disrupting the transportation industry. This combination of brand and technology gives Uber an advantage as it enters new markets. The success of Uber highlights the importance of disrupting traditional models, investing in innovation, and leveraging technology to create a competitive edge in the market.

This time, Jeannette is joined by author, speaker, entrepreneurial mastermind, and founder of Dent Global, Daniel Priestley! Daniel joins Jeanette for an empowering conversation about where he finds his entrepreneurial spark, how to become a key person of influence, why success is even sweeter when it comes as the result of hard work, why the accepted wisdom about authenticity might be wrong, and how to strike the best balance between business and life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity isn't always the best way to keep your brand afloat. It's often best used as a spice rather than an ingredient. People came to you for a reason, and you should always keep that in mind. Key persons of influence raise their profile, create amazing products, and form partnerships that generate life-changing results. Business requires work, dedication and sacrifice if the heights of success are being sought, but we must never discount the value in reflection, fun, and making sure that the right culture is instilled. Struggle is sometimes a matter of perspective. We can often describe challenge as hardship, but compared to the issues facing some people in the world, our challenges can seem minor. BEST MOMENTS 'This is what the best of the best do' 'Authenticity means different things to different people' 'Here's an idea - shut up and work!' 'Sales as a profession should be treated as a profession' 'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money' 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 discusses the "fertile void", a concept that describes how, if we find ourselves in a creative void for a time, then it can spark unprecedented levels of creativity and productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS We're currently going through much in the way of change and unpredictability. We're in a void situation, as the norm has essentially disappeared, which can feel uncomfortable. If you are able to stay in a position of being "comfortably uncomfortable" with not knowing what the next step might be, then you can spark creativity. When we hit downtime, rather than panic and try to fill that space with other things, pause - just give yourself some time. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to be able to rest in order for your mind to come up with creativeness' 'Things can come to you that would not have appeared to you before' 'Try and stay in that place where it is uncertain and it is uncomfortable' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Oliver Winter is the CEO and co-founder of a&o hostels, having founded the company 20 years ago with Michael Kluge. Since then it has gone on to become one of the most successful hostel chains in the world, with annual turnover in the nine-figure range. Oliver joins Jeannette to talk about how he founded a global brand, and the differing skill sets he has acquired along the way, including becoming a prolific property investor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hostels provide a sense of community, where people can come together in ways not possible in the hotel world. Almost half of the business relies on groups for bookings, and hostels prove extraordinarily popular with the likes of students, who seek low-cost accommodation that allows them to remain together as a group. Maintaining hostels requires not just a sense of business, but investment. Oliver has, along the way, become a property investor, and is now responsible for many units. If you have a good business idea, then be brave enough to put it out there into the world, and be disruptive enough to see it through. Stick to your idea and stick to your way of doing things. BEST MOMENTS 'You have to understand your target group' 'I always was focussed on operations, but to control a property has some charm' 'Our early lives influence our lives as adults' 'Be brave, be disruptive' 'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Winter intended to begin his career in teaching, but while on a study break travelling the world in the mid-1990s, he was inspired to come up with a new hostel concept. Oliver wanted to give people, especially students or young people, the opportunity to stay in professionally managed, affordable and centrally located accommodation, with no youth hostel card fee. After several initial attempts at getting the company off the ground, Winter was approached by his experienced, entrepreneurial landlord, who deemed the idea a ‘winning’ concept. The two of them collaborated, and together in 2000 they opened their first a&o hostel, a 164-room property in Berlin. Since launching the brand, Winter has successfully expanded the company having been responsible for its strategic growth, with a&o operating 39 hostels in 25 cities and nine European countries. A 40th property is planned for spring 2024 with a&o Florence. In 2022 a&o recorded its most successful year to date. Welcoming more than 5.55 million overnight stays and a turnover of more than 172 million Euros, the hostel chain surpassed results from the pre-COVID year 2019 (around 150 million) and experienced a turnover increase of more than 100 million Euros compared to 2021 – almost 150 percent more.

Jeannette talks to world-renowned business leader and travel industry specialist, David Robinson, about his fascinating career - one that has taken him to the heights of the corporate world as well as the upper echelons of the charity sector – how the lessons of business can amplify the charity business as a whole, and why values matter so much when it comes to establishing business brands and creating powerful messaging. KEY TAKEAWAYS David has found success in the charity sector by applying the rules of business, but keeping the element of care and the human factor at the forefront. Bringing people along on the journey of change is challenging, especially for long time workers. But the world is changing, and we must, too.
