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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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 Tech means that outdated fossil fuels can be replaced with much more efficient new forms of fuelling that burn hotter, and allow older, more destructive means, such as coal, to be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.

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.

Jeannette is joined by Bryan Kramer, Proud Father of Human-to-Human: H2H. Executive Coach, Keynote Speaker, Investor, Virtual & In-Person Global Keynote Speaker, CEO of 2 Companies, and TEDTalker, for a discussion about how he achieved the success he's found. They discuss creating a more human brand, focusing on impact before why, the impact of AI and how to improve your public speaking.

Replace it with who you really are. BEST MOMENTS 'Create the most human brand' 'The thing that we buy the most of is emotion' 'Put the person first' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

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 about the value of saying "Yes", and how by opening ourselves up to opportunities in a positive way, we can also open ourselves up to hitherto unexplored avenues of growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS If you love what you do, then even if you aren't the most successful, it still means that you'll enjoy the 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.

Having over 10 years experience in running businesses, including Bars, Gyms and eCommerce she now has a property development business with her business partner and Mum, Paula. She helps others be more confident and successful in health, wealth & happiness so they can live the life they dream of.

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.

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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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. If you have a disengaged team, then you cannot hope to achieve the best results for your business. If your people are not with you, then they won't be buying into the vision and values that you are working to build. BEST MOMENTS 'A huge 87% are not engaged!'

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.

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.

Jeannette talks to Steve Bolton, the founder and managing partner of Bolt Angels, an investment fund making waves in the industry. 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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The touch macro-economic situation in the UK right now is making it difficult for a lot of businesses out there. Forecasts say we will have negative growth this year. We need to take control and do what we can to help. Take a good look at your financial statements and identify where the main issues are when it comes to revenue, outgoings and costs. Your team must be fully focussed and aligned with the situation you are in, so that they can gather around you and come together to provide the win. A team wins together or not at all. Take a look at your bad debt. You might have suppliers or customers who have not paid you. Can you call the debt in, or is it something that you are being forced to write off?

Ep 288Saja Fendél , Founder The Thought Dojo - From Near Death to Unconditional Happiness
Saja Fendel is the founder of The Thought Dojo, dedicated to showing people how to use thinking to recognise their essence, find peace, and share their wisdom. 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. When we pass through pain, we take a number of lessons that we can use for other people - to inspire them to feel as though their struggles are hopeful ones. The journey of life constantly evolves. As long as we are having an experience, there is evolution to be found. BEST MOMENTS 'These were the two things that changed my life' 'There was no sense of failure in what I did' 'If we depend on our purpose for happiness, we have then depend on the needs or suffering of others' 'There is no such thing as a perfect human being' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

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.

Ep 286Richie Jones, MD & Founder vvast - Making Global Brands Digital
Richie Jones is the MD and Founder of vvast, which specialises in encouraging two way conversations between businesses and their customer through eCommerce, branding and industry-leading marketing. 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. BEST MOMENTS 'It's been a varied journey with lots of learnings, for sure' 'We're a genuine extension of how the brand operates' 'Digital has a reputation for being a black art' 'They to being brave, bold and brilliant, is being centred in that moment' 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.

Having spent the majority of his career to date being just in front of the curve, he is now in the sweet spot having found his niche. Launching vvast has allowed Richie to blend his agency experience and brand expertise to deliver an innovative, low-capital entry to market for brands BUT crucially plugging them into a relentless R&D roadmap to accelerate revenue. He is passionate about the concept of creative destruction and feels genuinely privileged to have seen the inception and gradual impact of ‘the internet’ on society and brands. Richie builds teams with a shared love of brand; a stoke for surfing, mountain biking and music; and a drive to deliver epic work. Having embarked on our B Corp journey in 2021, Richie has discovered how aligned it is with his purpose for vvast. It is so much more than environmental impact – it’s about considering our contribution to the wider community and understanding the way we do business through an ethical lens.

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.

Ep 284Jessie Marsh - Opening the Lid on Endometriosis
Jessie Marsh is an entrepreneur, business founder and property investor who's leveraged the power of investing to create financial freedom and achieve the life she always wanted. In this episode, Jessie talks about her amazing journey in business, how she reached the heights of success despite debilitating medical setbacks, and the ways in which she's now giving back to the world through "feelgood" investing - giving back to communities through philanthropic investing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Property investing allows us to break free of the corporate and social expectations when it comes to a career. it allows us to build the life our dreams independently and achieve true freedom. Despite crippling medical setbacks due to her condition, Jessie is a shining example of how perseverance and resilience are the keys to winning in life. When we go through experiences that might defeat us, it's valuable to share them with others, so that they know what to be aware of, and also to know that they are not alone Intuition is always your best friend.

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.

Ep 282Fiona Jeffery OBE, Founder & CEO Just a Drop - Saving Lives One Drop at a Time!
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.

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.

Ep 279The Power Of Women
To mark International Women's Day 2023, Jeannette is here with a vital reminder to remember that, no matter what field we work in, we should always strive towards building diverse teams, and why doing so is so critical to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being more diverse is not about being better or worse. It's about recognising differences, celebrating differences, and noting the wonderful similarities we all share. Research has proven that diverse teams and boards perform better than non-diverse. The more you diversify, the more you represent your multi-varied customer base. Once you identify where your organisation is, you can better recognise where you wish to be in the future. In order to make significant progress, diversity should always be at the top of the business agenda. If you don't have this buy-in from the top, it's very difficult to drive change. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about diversity in all its wonderful shapes and forms' 'What can we do to make sure we have a far more inclusive and diverse leadership?' 'Diverse teams in general achieve better results' 'Tap into the pool of talent from all diverse backgrounds' 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 278Nick Balzan Chief Commercial Officer Mangia's Resorts - Putting Sicily on the Map
Nick Balzan is the Chief Commercial Officer of Mangias Resorts and Clubs, and one of the most experienced business creatives in the world of travel and hospitality. Nick joins Jeannette to talk about his inspiring business journey, the most insightful lessons he's learned during his swift ascent to success, the best ways to embrace the varied cultures and wonders of the world around you, and why you should always listen to your heart when it comes to chasing your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS We have to push ourselves to leave our comfort zones if we want to find true growth. Sometimes that means leaving the places we know and feel comfortable in, but the growth you experience by being more adventurous is invaluable. When you find yourself in a new place and in the middle of a new culture, it's always best to embrace it as fully as possible. Be humble and be yourself, listen, learn and adapt. To break away from one's past in pursuit of your dreams can be a tough call, but we need to remember that the life we're given is ours to live. Never be afraid to follow the voice of your heart when it tells you to hit the road in pursuit of your dreams. Making changes in business should always be a team effort. You have to lead from the top, but never discount the voices of your team, and keep them involved whenever you can. BEST MOMENTS 'I decided that I needed to make a change in my life' 'Be humble. Listen, learn and adapt' 'It was something I felt I had to do. It's something that he would be proud of' 'Surround yourself with the right people and learn from them as much as possible' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 277Building Brilliant Teams
Jeannette tells you everything you need to know about how to build brilliant teams, from attracting the right talent in the first place, to crafting the right environment to ensure that the teams you build perform at their very best. KEY TAKEAWAYS Business is all about people. You are only one person. Create the right team, then work to your best strengths while your team works to theirs. This is the key to success. Having a high-performing team environment is critical, particularly if your team is working remotely. Make sure you all share a common purpose, and that your goals are in the same direction. Make sure everyone knows what the mission is for the organisation. Every single person needs to have a clear set of roles and responsibilities. Everyone needs to know what they are doing and how they are doing it. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s always about the quality of the team’ ‘You’ve got to get the right people on the bus in the first place, then make sure they’re sitting in the right seats and facing in the right direction’ ‘Think about where you are on that pyramid’ ‘The easiest person to lie to is yourself’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Emmie talks to Jeannette about her incredible story in business, how to make the most out of a business partnership, and how embracing and igniting the spirit of entrepreneurship in her own life has led her to the pinnacle of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Business partnerships work best wen your skill sets compliment each other. Your strengths can make up for weaknesses in another and vice versa. If you want to get going in business then don’t overthink things. Just get going! Stop putting off what you do straight away. Have a plan in place, but don’t hesitate when you’re ready to start. Confidence is one of the most useful tools for an entrepreneur. It allows a sense of visualisation and resilience that can help you to overcome challenges that would defeat others. Never be afraid to laud your achievements and proclaim your successes. You earned them, and you worked hard to do so. BEST MOMENTS ‘I always had an eye on the money and what was going on there’ ‘Be clear about what each of you brings to the party’ ‘Why don’t you tell everyone about all the amazing things that you’ve done?’ ‘I now know that I’m amazing at what I do’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 275Exercising Your Strategic Muscle
Following on from how to build, Jeannette talks about exercising your strategic muscle - how to put your strategies into place, why we need a broad perspective, and how to deliver on the strategies that will lead to your mission's end. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are busy and occupied, we focus upon the short term thinking, and fail to think longer term. But it's worth taking time to reflect on the future while also making the most of the present. Consider your "what". This is your mission. Your vision is the roadmap that will take you to that mission's end. A strategy is your "how" - how you get from your starting point to the mission's conclusion. Look at the bird's eye view and break it down into smaller, more actionable elements. BEST MOMENTS 'You do need to have that longer-term view - where you're heading' 'Think of your "what" and your "why". These are the starting points for any good strategy' 'Within that overall strategic plan there are subsections' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 274Clair Preston-Beer, MD Greene King Pubs - Disruptor & Change Maker
Clair Preston- Beer who is a managing director at Greene King pubs sits down with Jeannette to talk about all things career, business, mindset, and navigating demerging and restructuring. They cover how Claire got to be a Greene King MD and how the pub industry is responding to the trials, tribulations, challenges, and opportunities that the current economic and social climate is creating. As well as discussing the importance of diversity in the sector. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be the best version of yourself and be confident about who you are. Everyone has something special to offer. During any restructuring, good communication while restructuring is even more important. You need to be clear about the reasons for changing things and create space in the business to implement the change. You need to be present for whatever you are doing. Including for your family. Children, in particular, need you to be there for them and fully focused on them, during family time. In today's digital world, pubs are one of the last places people come together and connect. Many communities still value them and have a sense of ownership, which is a good thing, but it can also make it hard to change things. Keeping in touch and understanding your grassroots customers is essential. Analysing your data is important, but talking directly to your teams and customers is also vital. BEST MOMENTS 'I wanted to go and find a business where people were at the heart of the customer experience.' 'When you are quite disciplined and organised, it can mean you actually get better about balance.' 'I’m also very passionate about making the hospitality spaces really accessible places.' 'Make sure the change is worthwhile' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 273Building Your Strategic Muscle
Jeannette explains why building your strategic muscle is vital, why looking forward is as important as the day-to-day running of a business, and the things you must do early on in order to get those plans up and running at the right time. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are a leader, it's important to be able to think strategically as well as operationally. Delivering day-to-day is crucial, but we must also look forward. We should remember that our businesses do not operate in a bubble. They are connected to an external world of business and influence, which affect the initiatives we want to achieve. Take a look at your macroeconomic environment. Look at what is going on in the external world - interest rates, inflation, unemployment, customer bases and market trends. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It's great to be able to brainstorm each of these factors as they play a part in your strategy going forward. BEST MOMENTS 'In order to be able to grow and scale up, it's really important to think strategically' 'Thinking strategically is really around the big picture' 'We have to set the context for our strategic planning' 'Before you get into the detail, let's talk about what the context is that you need to pay attention to' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 272Sasha Covington COO Jones Lang LaSalle - Leading the way on Diversity & Inclusion
Sasha Covington is the COO for the valuation advisory team and Head of Diversity & Inclusion for JLL’s UK Valuation Advisory team, a position she's achieved after over three decades in the property industry. Sasha is a real example of how hard work and dedication can result in life-changing career paths, and in this episode Sasha talks about her upbringing and what drove her all the way to the heights of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS The formal education system is something we all have to go through, but the more entrepreneurial minded are not ever put off by grades or assessments. You don't have to have straight As to make it in life. The power of association is far more effective than we may realise. By associating with those we aspire to, it helps us to solidify ambition. The gender roles in the workplace are improving, but there is still an inherent bias against the skills and talents of women. When it comes to diversity, the question should always be who is the best person who can carry out the task required. We should look past cultural heritage and recognise those who can make our businesses better. BEST MOMENTS 'There was a real lack of diversity in terms of gender' 'I've always stayed authentic to me' 'I did fit in, it's just that I was in a really weird environment' 'I make sure the right people are in the right seat with the right tools' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 271Are You A Chameleon? Bridging The Gap From Old To New
In this episode, Jeannette talks about the concept of the business chameleon - someone who moves from one situation to another, and how to effectively recognise the similarities between where we are now and where we want to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we're currently in a position that we don't favour, it's important to think about where we want to be next. But often, we focus on new scenarios and see them as something separate. You can't navigate the future by looking at the past. However, we can take the lessons from before and use them to guide our way. Identify all the transferrable skills, contacts, lessons that you can take from one world to another. There will be far more than you may initially think. BEST MOMENTS 'Where you are isn't really where you want to be, going forward' 'You can't drive a car by looking through the rear view mirror' 'We're being a chameleon. We're changing, but we're also protecting and retaining all the great stuff' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 270Evan Price Founder Artist Collective - Transforming Artists into ‘Artistpreneurs’
Jeannette meets Founder and CEO of Artist Collective, Evan Price, who has been working in and around the music industry since the age of fourteen, in artist management, digital marketing and coaching. Evan talks about the ways in which he helps and nurtures artists and musicians, and how to bridge the gap between creativity and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The best thing about any sector, creative or not, is that there is always an opportunity to add the business element to the creative element. With the rise of technology and innovation, there is always the opportunity for growth and development. It takes a entrepreneurial perspective and a little bravery. Learning business sense isn't something you can impart within a day or two. It takes mentorship and guidance - the following of someone else's example. Focus upon one or two big things that really accelerate your path, and once you have, you can then break those things down into smaller, incremental steps. BEST MOMENTS 'I slowly realised that this was the path for me - the business side of things' 'The challenge is to find a way to make the money' 'You've almost got polar extremes - creativity and business' 'Entrepreneurs are also creative problem solvers in business' 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.

At the age of fourteen, he started a booking agency that promoted more than +100 shows, igniting his passion for the business. He then became involved in artist management with several Chicago acts, licensing, booking, digital marketing, and coaching. As a graduate of Columbia College, he used his Bachelor’s Degree in Arts & Entertainment Media Management in Music Business to build his own vision. His mission is to transform artists into what he calls “artistpreneurs” and finally get them out of the 9-5s they hate and back to the music. By using the “M.C.S. Method” or ‘monetizable creative skillset’ Evan and his team can help creatives build a profitable business around the one thing they are the most passionate about. Who says your hobby can’t be your business? Drawing inspiration from the likes of Steve Jobs, Gary Vaynerchuck, and Donald Miller, he discovered the key to a successful brand: an outrageously compelling story. This drove Evan to teach musicians the art of clever storytelling to unlock their success through authentic vulnerability. He has built a very engaged social media following reminding creatives to be self aware, empathetic to their audience, and unwavering in their pursuit of building their music business. His company Artist Collective was given the nod by Billboard magazine as one of the best resources for musicians during the COVID-19 Pandemic and he’s been featured on such programs as The Jam Tv show, Chance the Rapper’s SocialWorks, KissFM, Medium, and more. Musicians and creatives interested in services can apply for the Artistpreneur Accelerator - a program designed to build, launch, and scale your creative business in 90 days!

Ep 268Resh Sonchhatla, Founder of Chapati Club - Bringing Her Authentic Self to Hospitality
Jeannette is joined by Resh Sonchhatla, whose remarkable business career began in accountancy and management, as well as the founding of The Chapati Club. Resh joins Jeannette to talk about her illustrious career so far, as well as what has driven her to not just thrive in the business world, but stake her unique claim in a sector built on her personal passions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Building a career for yourself on the things you're passionate about, always ensures that the fire in your belly stays hot enough to push you through the challenges you face. Working int he corporate sector can be rewarding, but it can also take its toll on mental health. Always make sure you put yourself and your wellbeing first. Expectations of others can often derail the true passions that light us up. Remember that your life is your own, and your path will be completely dissimilar to anyone else's - and that's okay! In business, you always need to be looking towards the next step. If you aren't scaling, then you're in trouble. Growth is everything. BEST MOMENTS 'The food thing was really nibbling at me' 'I really wanted to understand the variations of how Indian food is made' 'You have to stop thinking about the things that are absorbing you so much' 'If you aren't scaling then you're in trouble' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

The business recently expanded into south London, with the launch of a delivery service based inBermondsey.A couple for eleven years, neither Resh nor Heena had experience of running a restaurant when they took the lease on the site at 117 The Vale, in Acton, London W3. Resh had been working in the banking sector for seven years, which she found unfulfilling, while Heena was enjoying a successful career as an experience designer. Planning to start a family, they also wanted to bring more balance to their working lives. Both women shared a lifelong passion for food, instilled in them from childhood by their large families, and having grown up in nearby Hounslow, Heena was a fan of the diverse, creative Acton area. The embryonic idea of opening a “non-traditional” restaurant serving “the food we grew up on” quickly became a reality when an ideal site became available; they put an offer in, which was accepted, and opened chapati club on 7th April 2017.For the menu, Resh and Heena looked to favourite recipes from their shared Indian-Kenyan heritage, including many handed down by their families. ‘Chicken G Dad’s Way’, for example, is Heena’s dad’s recipe, a dish so popular within her family that any time it’s made it leads to a large impromptu gathering. The ‘61’ in ‘Chicken 61’ meanwhile refers to Resh’s aunt’s house number, where she would go if she wanted to eat chicken, which her vegetarian mother wouldn’t cook.Heena created chapati club’s modern, pared-back branding and visual identity, and oversees the creative side of the business, while Resh is responsible for the day-to-day running of the restaurant and is a familiar presence at almost every service. Both of their personalities are present in the music, another shared passion, putting together their own playlists which contribute to the restaurant’s lively, celebratory atmosphere.As gay women of colour, Resh and Heena were initially wary of being an ‘out and proud’ LGBTQ+ business, but quickly found that this was a strength, with peers, suppliers and most importantly, customers, all embracing them. In its four years in business, chapati club has attracted a loyal, diverse clientele of regular ‘clubbers’ who value the inclusivity of the restaurant, whether they are dining with family, friends or indeed alone.Resh and Heena strive to repay their community’s support by giving back to it where they can. Throughout lockdown, chapati club provided free meals for NHS frontline staff, and they have hosted fundraising and community events, including music and comedy nights, at the restaurant. They champion other local businesses, serving wines chosen for the restaurant by Vindinista, Acton’s boutique wine shop, and gelato from Duci in Chiswick.While the business has grown with the expansion into south London, chapati club remains a very personal project for Resh and Heena. They are committed to offering

Ep 267Networking, Networking, Networking

She shares details of how you can make sure that you become an effective networker. Including how to get the most out of conferences and other events. All of the 10 tips she shares are easy to implement, yet extremely effective. KEY TAKEAWAYS Whether you realise it or not, you are already networking all the time. We are all constantly putting ourselves out there. Before attending an event make a list of people you want to connect with and arrange a few meetings. Put any documents that could prove useful on Google Drive, e.g., your pitch or anything that could enable you to close a deal. That way you can share it immediately. Business cards are still handy, but you should also have a QR code people can use to pick up your contact details using their phone. If you say you are going to do something for someone or follow up with them, make sure you do so, BEST MOMENTS ‘We are all networking all of the time, whether you realise it or not. ´ ‘Be very intentional, what is it you're trying to get out of the conference? Or the event that you're attending.’ ‘Often the most effective business is done in a social environment,’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Ep 266Winning the War on Talent with Bernard Ward, Group MD Acorn Recruitment
Bernard Ward is the Group Managing Director of Acorn Recruitment, one of the top 1% of recruitment agencies in the UK, and who passionately believe that "there’s more to recruitment than just filling vacancies". Bernard talks to Jeannette about the importance of placing people at the centre of the equation when it comes to recruitment, the value of legacy when it comes to building relationships that last, and the best ways of attracting the best talent to your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we leave a company, it's important to leave on good terms. We never know what might happen in the future, or how poor decision making will impact a future aim or goal. The sectors we're drawn to often evolve and change. The key is to always keep up with what's important, enhance your knowledge where possible, and apply yourself to becoming the best in your field. There has always been a huge demand for the best people, but with the advent of the high cost of living, demand has certainly increased for higher salaries, regardless of the sector. Your onboarding process is absolutely key. You must ensure that your training and development at the outset supplies people with the skills they need to do the job. BEST MOMENTS 'Your legacy is what people judge you on' 'It's come along a hell of a road over the last 25 years' 'There are always economies of scale' 'There's always been a war on talent' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.
