Ep 329Where Businesses Are Getting Their Next CEOs From
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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Discover your purpose and align your actions and decisions with it. BEST MOMENTS "Life is tough. Business is tough. 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."

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."

Ep 325How To Get That Promotion
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."

Ep 322Daniel Priestley - Helping Businesses, Showbiz Stars & Entrepreneurs be BRAVE, FUN & DENT
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.

Ep 321De-Clutter To Spark Inspiration And Creativity
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.

Ep 320Oliver Winter CEO A&O Hostels - Breaking Down Borders to Create a Green Empire
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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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.

Ep 318David Robinson Travel Industry Legend - Creating a Bridge Between Travel & Charity
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. To survive in the charity sector, the lessons of business must be applied. This requires resilience, and a focus upon the right kind of fundraising and marketing. The charity sector needs support in learning how to survive in the long term. The cost of living crisis has meant that people are less inclined to give freely - combatting this mindset will decide how charities survive going forward. BEST MOMENTS 'I've always loved travel, and ever since I was a child I wanted to work in that industry' 'The basis upon which we achieved that was through the changing culture and values' 'It's been a really interesting journey' '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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS TTG has been through several different iterations since its inception, but from 2019, the business went through an exhilarating change, by talking to many people about what it means to be a modern business for the future.

By taking a more diverse approach, we not only make ourselves more attractive to clients, but simply put, we do better business.

Jeannette talks to Tim Hentschel the Co-Founder and CEO of HotelPlanner - a leading travel technology company and hotel booking platform - about the company's origins, why and how technology is revolutionising every business sector, and the unique ways in which HotelPlanner has created a revolutionary type of business niche.

Ep 313Have You Got The Guts To Fail?
Have you got the guts to fail? Are you failing big, or not at all? In this episode, Jeannette talks about why failure can be the most liberating, and most exciting thing that you could possibly do. KEY TAKEAWAYS The way we think of failure is always in negative terms, and it's about time that we reframed things, so that we see failure as a way to learn. Every single person has greatness within them, but it's not always easy to unlock. It's the fear of failing that stops us from even trying. Become very clear on what it is that you want. If your reason for trying is compelling enough, then you'll find strength in this. BEST MOMENTS 'If you're not failing, then you are in your comfort zone. You're not even trying' 'If you're not failing, then you're not learning, and that means you're not growing' 'You're going to get knocked back in life and business. That's just the way it is' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 312Claus Nehmzow, CEO Binex - How to Save Our Planet
An accomplished business architect with a wealth of experience spanning over 30 years, Claus Nehmzow is synonymous with innovative solutions, having served a diverse array of industries, from multinational conglomerates to emerging startups. His expertise centres on utilising transformative technologies such as AI, VR/AR, blockchain, quantum computing, and robotics to reimagine business landscapes. Claus joins Jeannette to talk about why the world of business is embracing technology as a way of enhancing its offering to the world, and the fascinating ways in which technology can aid us in hitherto undreamt of ways. KEY TAKEAWAYS The shipping industry is looking to replace its fleets with greener alternatives, which led Claus to Binex, and the solutions that it can offer. The shift to greener ways of working was always based upon cost savings, but now the initiatives seem to centre around a far more responsible outlook for the world. Tech means that outdated fossil fuels can be replaced with much more efficient new forms of fuelling that burn hotter, and allow older, more destructive means, such as coal, to be retired forever. Not only can the new technologies provide new sources of food and energy, but also income streams for marginalised communities who have seen their prosperity levels drop in recent generations. It's a global win win for humanity BEST MOMENTS 'At Binex we have the opportunity to use green energy using the latest tech possible' 'This allows us to replace coal in coal-fired plants!' 'We can offer a better approach to make energy and food' 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 311Change Your Identity To Achieve Results
Jeannette explains why, if you wish to get life-changing results, you may need to consider changing your identity, and what that process entails. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are multiple differing ways to achieve success in life, but we tend to focus on the wrong things. If you want to up your game and create sustainable results, instead of focussing on the outcomes, look at the inner you. You can focus on the output, the strategy, and your identity. When change is required, people focus on outcomes or strategy. The best way is to change your identity first. BEST MOMENTS 'You've got to change who you see yourself as in order to achieve lasting change' 'Each and every one of you has greatness within' 'The stories that we tell ourselves really creates a lasting impact' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 307Adversity - Break On Through To The Other Side
Jeannette talks you through the all-important "breakthrough" moment - the moment in time when everything changes, and when you push through barriers towards the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are times when it can feel as though you're being held back from achieving that elusive goal. The breakthrough moment is when that barrier finally crumbles and you move on to where you need to be. The three areas you need to focus on in order to create a breakthrough are: State, Story and Strategy. You can control your state by looking towards exercise, sleep and a healthy diet. Changes such as these all contribute towards enhancing the state you're in. Your story matters when it comes to success. If you don't believe in the story you've made for yourself, how will others believe it? BEST MOMENTS 'It's when the impossible, all of a sudden, becomes possible' 'Breakthroughs don't just happen. You have to make sure you're in the best place possible' 'Creating a breakthrough can create a huge difference to every aspect of your life' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Yeah, it was quite tough, actually." - "in my opinion, it should always be the best person for the job." - "Women, we need to hold our hand, put our hand up and keep our bloody hand up.

Ep 304Julie-Ann Haines CEO Principality Building Society - Leading with Integrity
Jeannette is joined by Julie-Ann Haines, the CEO of Principality Building Society, for a discussion about how she achieved the success she's found, why it's okay to let go of things sometimes in order to bloom in your career, and how to best empower your teams to do their very best. KEY TAKEAWAYS Career paths don't always move in a straight line. It's fine to test things out and find out about yourself along the way. You have to let go to grow sometimes. Holding on to the same things can stunt your development, so know when to hand things off and look for a new challenge. If you're empowering a team, then go all in on it. Teams can't gain a sense of trust unless they're allowed to shine in their own way. Stakeholders are always in search of confidence. It's up to us as leaders to best define what that looks like and deliver wherever possible. BEST MOMENTS 'I'm a proponent of squiggly careers' 'You have to let go to grow' 'That's where the trust with your team is so important' 'What all stakeholders need is confidence' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to Louise O'Shea, the Chair of InsurTech UK's Advisory Panel and the former CEO of Confused.com. Under Louise's stewardship, Confused's revenue doubled and profits tripled, results that Louise puts down to her impactful, disruptive style of leadership. In this episode, Louise talks about her success, the value of diversity and inclusion, and why we should never be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to our business journey.

We have "sliding door" moments in life that can send us off into all new directions, but these areas are where the real opportunity resides. Be brave enough to consider these pivot points. You have to have a purpose greater than yourself, and be part of a team that motivates you, in order to ensure that we gain true job satisfaction. Just because one chapter closes doesn't mean that more exciting chapters aren't ahead of you. See a closing door as the opportunity for an opening one. BEST MOMENTS 'I've always been driven by "love what you do"' 'You've got to understand where you've come from if you want to know where you are' 'If you're clear on what your purpose and where you're heading, it's a lot easier to get there' 'There are opportunities everywhere' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 299Optimising LinkedIn To Create Meaningful Relationships
Jeannette talks you through the best ways in which you can improve your experience on LinkedIn, use this fantastic tool to make meaningful connections, and increase the leads you can generate for your business as a result. KEY TAKEAWAYS Often with social media we are not as intentional as we should or could be. We scroll aimlessly without any specific purpose in mind. Using LinkedIn proactively and purposefully will create real impact for you and your business. LinkedIn - above other social media forms - is best for business as it's centred around that endeavour. Think about your profile and represents what you're about - focus on the first line beneath your name and design it to show what you can do for people.

Ep 298Natalie Bailey – from Party Girl to Confident Kick-Ass Business Woman
Jeannette is joined by entrepreneur, kick ass woman, and host and creator of Confidence Mastery - Natalie Bailey - one of the brightest business minds in the world! Natalie talks to Jeannette about where she found the inspiration to begin her empowering journey into business, one that involved a complete re-evaluation of what life means, and how she fought her way to the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS You never move in life, or grow as a person, unless you stray outside of your comfort zone from time to time. That's where real growth lies. Making a legacy is one thing, but we create real change and impact when we give back to those who are less fortunate. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonesome path to take, and so we should look for ways to involve others whenever possible. Mastering confidence is all about learning to say no when someone tries to keep your natural self suppressed. It is the art of recognising what makes you unique. BEST MOMENTS 'The lightbulb for me went on' 'The entrepreneurial road can be very lonely' 'In school they teach you to be silent and not heard. All of that disruptive behaviour are what makes us unique' 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.

Living between Mallorca and London, she embodies everything she teaches. With a background in Personal Training, health and fitness is high on the agenda, with wealth creation and happiness going hand in hand to create a confident and successful life. As a successful entrepreneur, podcast host and mentor she has learnt a lot over the past decade. She pulled herself back from nearly losing it all. She was the life and soul of the party scene in Magaluf, where she’d escaped to from an unfilled life and job in London, in a bid to build a new life. Getting caught up with the wrong crowd ; partying every night to mask the loneliness, low self-esteem and depression she had. When a lot of her friends got arrested she realised that she needed to change otherwise she’d end up in prison, or even worse, dead. Throwing herself into understanding behaviour and what was triggering this wild lifestyle that she had changed her life, the people in it and fast-forward to today and she is a property developer working with her Mum, Paula on £MM projects, and a confidence coach, working with entrepreneurs and business owners to better prepare them for the highs and lows of running a business. The host of 2.5% globally ranked podcast “Confidence Mastery” she also hosts a Mastermind and Retreats, helping other entrepreneurs to come to together and be successful in their health, wealth and happiness which brings her great joy seeing others succeed.

Ep 297How To Start And Scale Your Podcast
As a successful podcaster, Jeannette talks about the power of podcasting, what it can do for your business in terms of spreading your message, and how to start and scale a show of you own. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's something intensely personal about hearing the voice of someone you follow. It's a direct connection between you and the listener. Understand why you want to make a podcast in the first place. If you are clear on your "why" and it aligns with your values, you will be much more successful. Pick a subject that you are passionate about. If you aren't in love with your subject matter then you will fall out of love with the process. Consistency is key, Make sure you treat it seriously and commit to it as though it was a job. You don't want to come out quickly at the beginning and then find you can't keep up with the pace. BEST MOMENTS 'I had no idea where it was going to lead' 'I love my podcast - I'm passionate about it' 'When you connect with someone through a podcast, you become a part of their life and routine' 'It'a very personal and special relationship between you and your listener' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 296Luke Kernaghan, Theatre Director - Leading with Passion & Panache
Jeannette talks to renowned theatre director, Luke Kernaghan, on the ways in which he has harnessed the power of his creativity to unlock success, the value of connections and how networking has accelerated his journey of growth, and why following your passions is the key to lifelong happiness when it comes to your career choice. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is no substitute for authenticity, and you cannot truly be yourself until you've asked the internal questions required. Sometimes the forces that drive us are difficult to identify, and manifest themselves through instinct. We should always listen to our inner voice. If we are able to identify our passions, and forge a career in that sector, then working becomes a privilege, and fulfilment is far easier to achieve. Theatre in particular, thrives upon community. Those who are in the field, raise each other up and encourage support from all sides. BEST MOMENTS 'Your energy is incredible. You clearly love what you do' 'My journey was not linear' 'You don't go into theatre to make 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.

Ep 295The Power Of Engagement
Surveys have shown that only a fraction of people are happy and engaged with their jobs, but why is this so important? In this episode, Jeannette discusses the power of engagement, and how you can dramatically increase your teams' happiness levels and productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Only 13% of people at work are happy with their jobs, and are fully engaged with their role and their organisation.

Ep 294Rob Stewart, The Leader Swansea Council – How to Transform a City!!
Rob Stewart is the leader of Swansea Council, and has spent the last two decades forging a highly successful career in politics and business. In this episode, Rob joins Jeannette to talk about what it means to represent people in the political arena, why mindset matters so much when it comes to leadership, and the practical business lessons both learned and implemented that have turned him into a leader to be admired. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ones who get things done and place themselves as effective leaders, are those who always have a "can do" attitude. If you're negative about your prospects, you're doomed to fail. The pervasive image in the business world is that politicians do not understand their concerns. Coming from a business background himself has given Rob a real advantage. Planning requires something of a reform. Swansea is spearheading this shift in order to allow more businesses to put their mark on the city. Never discount the value that private enterprise can bring to an environment. Most companies are eager to improve their surroundings, which returns vitality for everyone. BEST MOMENTS 'We've taken the hard yards. Now we need to do it at scale' 'I've tried to bring a can-do attitude' 'This isn't something you do lightly' 'Difficulty comes from inconsistency in thinking' 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 293Incremental Gains To Transform Your Results
In this episode, Jeannette explains why taking smaller steps towards your goals might be the key to unlocking broader wins in the long term, and how you can stay focussed on the larger purpose behind your business aims. KEY TAKEAWAYS We often become too obsessed with achieving the biggest results as fast as possible, but the smaller gains, made persistently, are the wins that truly turn the dial. In 2003, the British cycling team had not won the Tour De France for over a hundred years, but a new coach took charge and applied a philosophy that required a holistic view of all elements of the team, improving them all in slight, small ways. This turned around the fortunes of the team in no time. Your outcomes will lag behind your habits. Tiny changes don't show up immediately, but keep pushing and the results will follow. BEST MOMENTS 'Just one percent can really make the difference between success and failure' 'Incremental gains is where you get incredible results' 'Unlock your greatness by being brave, bold and brilliant' 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.

He is also a successful serial entrepreneur, professional mentor, and advisory board leader with over two decades' experience. Steve joins Jeannette to talk about business, investing, how to make the most effective impact in life and your career, the magic word that changed his life, and how he turned his entrepreneurial journey around from the heights of success to failure and all the way back up again. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes it takes a fall to make us work for the rise. Just because you're down doesn't mean that you're out for good. There is no substitute for the empowerment of a good mentor. If someone has walked the path before you, then it can help you to visualise your own route to success. Having the gift of the money mindset can't be discounted. True entrepreneurs who understand the magic of making money are almost set for life as they will constantly see the ways to monetise. Striking the right life balance is key to making sure your purpose keeps you driven. If you immerse yourself too much in one side, you'll forget the value of the other. BEST MOMENTS 'I discovered a lifelong passion for coaching and mentoring' 'I was in an the deep end' 'I had an entrepreneurial seizure in my mid-twenties' 'He said the magic word that changed my life' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 291Elemis Achieves B-corp Status - What Does This Mean And Why Is It Important ?
Jeannette talks about B-corp status in the wake of Elemis achieving this - including what it means, why it matters, the criteria involved, and what potential benefits it could provide for you as a business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Standing out from the crowd in the world of business is vital when you['re a business owner and leader. Having a B-corporation accreditation, means that your business has been recognised as having world-leading environmental and social performance, transparency and accountability. 6000 companies in the world have B-corporation status - the process to achieving it is rigorous, and involves two hundred questions and areas in which you must meet criteria - winning a score of over 80+. Customers and employees are becoming far more choosy about the products and services they buy, and the places they work with. Achieving this kind of accreditation is only ever a good thing in terms of attracting people to your business. BEST MOMENTS 'As a business owner and leader, we're always trying to innovate' 'It's a very rigorous assessment!' 'If you have a clear purpose and a really clear reason why, it can allow you to stand out' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose of Communique is to help businesses to begin on their sustainability journey. We need to help businesses understand what sustainability means and why we should care so much about it. There is still much work to be done in raising up voices who are being left out of business. We must endeavour to help the invisible become visible. Purpose is everything in becoming bold. If you truly believe in something, you will always speak out in defence of that thing. In order to effect true change in business for women, we must fundamentally shift the mindset that prevails in society, reset expectations between the sexes, and call out poor behaviour when we see it.

Saja joins Jeannette to talk about the existential moment that changed his life and set him on the course that has taken him to the heights of success, and the incredible ways in which he turned his life from one of doubt and fear, to one of joy and happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS Through peeling back the layers of conditioning from the mind, our natural state of happiness is the ever-present background, our natural condition. It is accessible anywhere. To seek fulfilment through our work or service, no matter what it is, requires the need or suffering of others.

Ep 287Get the Rocks and Pebbles of Your Life in Place First
Jeannette discusses the concept of rocks, pebbles and sand when it comes to a full life, and explains why it's always wise to get the fundamentals in place first before we fill our lives with the smaller elements, and better manage our time. KEY TAKEAWAYS The rocks stand for the important things in life. The pebbles are still important, but are more malleable. The sand represents all the other "stuff" - the noise and chaos. If your jar is full of sand - the minutiae and rubbish - then you won't be able to fit any rocks. The sand should always fit around the rocks, not the other way around. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to make sure that we spend our time on the right things' 'Make sure the rocks go into your jar first, the pebbles in afterwards, and the sand last' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Richie joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating business journey, the path he's taken combining innovative technology and a glaring gap in the agency market, and how he ensures that his passions always combine with his profession to ensure happy, long term business impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS vvast was born from identifying the many weaknesses of the agency model, combined with a huge skills gap that exist within brands themselves. The key to igniting long term engagement and loyalty, is to create tribes of clients who align perfectly with who you are and what you do. The best way to make sure you're always at the forefront of innovation, is to imagine any challenge from the perspective of the consumer, and look for a solution that provides a frictionless outcome. If you understand your "why", and if you are a purpose-led brand where people follow you religiously, you have to rely less on manipulations such as discounts and sales.

Ep 285The Two Sides Of Quitting
Jeannette talks about quitting - whether it's always such a bad thing, and when there may be times or cases when it's more appropriate to quit and move on than to remain KEY TAKEAWAYS Quitting is often framed as something negative. It carries connotations of losing or failing at something, but there are also times when it makes positive sense to move on. Many of us are striving for something - some purpose. We can hit roadblocks and challenges that hold us up on this journey. If you are being blocked by a certain challenge, and it's derailing your path to success, then it's okay to reframe things. See the setback as a block between you and your purpose. Never be afraid to take a different route towards your ultimate goal. You only have one life, so live it with your purpose in mind at all times. BEST MOMENTS 'It's never always black and white' 'When do you actually need to pivot and change?' 'Your situation is unique to you. Your goals are unique to you' 'Make sure your dreams are bigger than your memories' 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 283The Golden Circle Of Balance To Smash Your Results
Jeannette explains the concept of the Golden Circle Of Balance - a vital tool for any business that ensures you'll work at your best, break through barriers, and achieve life-changing results. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Golden Circle Of Balance begins with knowing your "why", because if you're not clear on your purpose then how can you hope to get there? Every single person has greatness within themselves. The key to unleashing that greatness is to find someone to unlock it by being brave, bold and brilliant. Around the why are three elements: clarity, discipline and consistency (CDC). Everyone is here for a reason no matter who they are. Clarity of thought on this is key. BEST MOMENTS 'If you want the best results for your business, this will be really helpful' 'It's a daily reminder why you exist' 'We are all here for a purpose' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Fiona Jeffery has had a long and accomplished career working in the travel industry, responsible for World Travel Market (WTM) from 1986-2013 both as Managing Director and ultimately as Chairman. Fiona joins Jeannette to discuss her incredible business journey, the most invaluable lessons learned along her rise to the top of her business sector, how it feels to have been awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth, and her impactful charity work in bringing safe water to communities across Asia, Africa and Latin America. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you set your goals towards helping other people, it requires a certain strength. Sometimes you're called upon to look at the tougher side of life. When you work in a small team, it can be very rewarding. However, to truly make an impact, you need to think bigger. Ideas are not always a hit from the off. Sometimes you need vision and patience in order to make them work. Every decision we make needs to be taken with the future in mind. Consider the legacy that you're leaving behind and ask if the future would be proud of you. BEST MOMENTS 'That background really shaped my life' 'I grew as the industry grew' 'How do we really make a positive contribution' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 281Delivering Long Term When Facing Day To Day Challenges - Juggling Both Worlds
In this episode, Jeannette explains the ways in which you can deliver long term growth and the strategies you've decided on as a business, at the same time as delivering the short term wins in your business and life without becoming overwhelmed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life isn't just about delivering on business aims - it's also about delivering on our personal concerns and striking a healthy balance between business and the fulfilment of our personal lives. If all you do is focus upon today, then you will only ever deliver short term results. If you focus on the future and growth, you will potentially never get there because you're ignoring the short term. Consider what is important and unimportant, as well as what is urgent and what is non-urgent. By adhering to this practice and prioritising tasks, we can ensure that we're always moving forward. BEST MOMENTS 'Make sure you don't lose sight of the long term' 'The reality is that you have to do both' 'You need to learn to flip in and out, depending on where we are' 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 280Jeannette As A Mission Maker
This week, it's Jeannette's turn to take the spotlight, as she appeared recently on the Mission Maker's Podcast, where she discussed her personal business story as well as such empowering topics as building a business, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and how to ensure cohesion in the workplace between mentors, coaches, managers and the people who keep our organisations flowing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a purpose is the most important component in business, especially at the outset. it provides a beacon by which all decisions are made. Even if we do not achieve the things we hope to, the very process of taking action can teach us valuable lessons about business and ourselves. The teams you build, and the people you take along with you on your journey, are ultimately what will allow you, and them, to be successful. If you are a leader, always strive for authenticity. Accept that you cannot possibly know everything, and use it as a strength. bring talent in and do not shy away from who you are. People buy into leaders that display vulnerability. BEST MOMENTS 'You have to be really clear on what your reason why is' 'I'm fundamentally a good person who's trying to do the best for others' 'If you don't try, you'll never know' 'If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together' 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.
