Lead with value and leave the world a nicer place. The results will come back to you tenfold BEST MOMENTS 'Having a new year is like having a blank sheet of paper' 'If you don't know what you want, how will you get there?'

Don't wait to set your goals - now is the perfect time for you to set your goals for the year ahead! In this episode, Jeannette talks you through the hacks and techniques that you can use to make sure your goals are effective and impactful in order to help you feel more productive and better equipped for the challenges that lay ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you don't know where you're heading, how will you get there? Get clear on what you want, why you want it, and what does successful look like? How can you measure your progress? Reflection is an important tool. It allows us to see how progress has been made, and at what rate we can achieve our goals. Don't just think about what you want to achieve - focus on the person you want to be. Think about which version of yourself you're trying to reach. We often don't give ourselves enough credit for the skills we're best at. Celebrate the talents that come to us naturally and don't hide your light under a bushel. BEST MOMENTS 'Do not wait - get on with this now!' 'You can be far more effective with your time and be far more excited about the future' 'You cannot drive a car by looking through the rear view mirror' 'Think about your broader goals.

James Mitchell is one of the most respected property developers in the country, with a huge portfolio and an assured track record of success. In this episode, James talks about his inspiring story and how he achieved the heights of success through hard work, dedication, and being bold and brilliant when it counted the most! KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes our business journey seems haphazard, but when we find our place in the world, we suddenly realise that every moment has provided its own lesson. Never be afraid of relying on your own skills and talents. You can get far further by believing in yourself, even if the challenges sting at the time. Advice and guidance are just that. Never let the words of others totally dissuade you from your path - simply take the advice as a different perspective. Everyone has their own front, their own surface, that they are happy to put on display. Never assume that the picture tells the whole story, and most importantly, never base your idea of success on what others have. Your version of success is entirely exclusive to you. BEST MOMENTS 'I have a lot more value. I don't need to work with others to feel my own worth' 'There is never just one route to success' 'We have to be clear on what's important to each of us' 'The world of social media presents a version of the world that isn't always necessarily reflected in reality' 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 new year is the perfect time of year to reflect upon what has gone before. In this episode, Jeannette talks about the lessons she has learned from the year gone by, the goals we should try to focus on in 2023, and how we can use the events of 2022 in order to ensure our success in the year ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes we can be so busy chasing the next thing and moving forward, that we miss the chance to reflect upon what we've gained and lost, and take the teachings from both. We could never have anticipated that the economy would be as unstable and damaged as it was. There was initial growth, but some decisions have left us even worse off. If you're relying on a single source of income, then it might be time to think about diversifying now in order to fortify your financial prospects in 2023. It doesn't matter how tough things get, there will always be the chance to find opportunities. Even when markets are bad, it means good things for someone. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the perfect time to reflect' 'Risk can leave you in a vulnerable position' 'My aim is to help as many people as possible to be the best versions of themselves' 'Opportunities are everywhere' 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.

Mark Harvey is the founder of the Real Life Brand which encompasses businesses operations in Education, Property, Construction, Facilities Management, Sales and even a Charity. Starting from nothing Mark Harvey has gone from growing up on a council estate struggling to make ends meet to achieving financial freedom for himself and many of the Real Life Community. In this episode, Mark talks about the mission behind his incredible business ventures, the value of practice when it comes to being the best, and his fascinating vision for the ultimate environment - one that will bring out the best in people worldwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you practice at something, and devote yourself to being better at it, you gain a sense of autonomy that gives you muscle memory for that task. Practice makes perfect, but it also makes permanent. Background is never a limiting factor when it comes to success. If you have the right mindset and are willing to work hard, you can take your self to any point in business and life, no matter where you come from. When we are allowed to relax sufficiently, we enable ourselves to work far more efficiently. Creating an environment where we can rest, work and play, is the best way to get the most from people. The value of knowledge is exponentially increased when it is shared. Those who have knowledge empower others by sharing and encouraging others to do the same. BEST MOMENTS 'Practice makes permanent' 'If you push yourself out of your comfort zone, you really can achieve anything' 'I want every being on the planet to be free - financially, physically, and emotionally' 'Selling is serving!' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks about focus, and how by nurturing and developing this crucial business sense, we can achieve so much more than we believed possible. KEY TAKEAWAYS Take concentrated action and develop clarity of thinking in order to maximise the things you're capable of. A good acronym for FOCUS is Follow One Course Until Success. We need to focus more, but it's easier said than done, but if achieved, we will reach success. Get clear on what it is that you want. Without working out this fundamental aim, you can't hope to set your focus correctly. When you're in the moment and things are moving around you, the best way to set focus is to remove all unnecessary distractions. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about focussing in order to get results' 'If you don't know what you want, how will you be able to focus on it?' '70-20-10 allows you to focus proportionally, and explore other opportunities' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Rick Jones is a hospitality and leisure sector leader as well as corporate finance partner, who specialises in working with business owners and management teams on acquisitions, disposals and raising finance. Rick joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating route through business life, and for a wide-ranging discussion on all things finance, acquisitions and business! KEY TAKEAWAYS Mergers and acquisitions make up the art of advising people on how to best buy and sell businesses, ensuring win-win situations for all involved. It's always best to consider your objectives when coming to the sale of your business. Make sure you know what the aim of the sale is, as it'll help to guide you to the best result. People can successfully sell business without an advisor, but these people are in the minority. It's a very emotional and complicated process and having an expert at your side can be crucial. Even if the economy and the market is tough, there are still hopeful things in the acquisition world. No matter what the landscape looks like, there are always opportunities and deals to be had. You just need to look harder at times. BEST MOMENTS 'I help people navigate the process and find the best way to help them fulfil their ambitions' 'It's good that today there are more routes into professional services' 'What success looks like is something that people should really spend some time with' 'There's no such thing as an A to Z on how to sell your 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.

How do you sell your business and maximise its value? This issue can seem daunting and confusing to many, and so seeking the best advice possible is essential. In this episode, Jeannette takes you through some tips, tricks and things to bear in mind, so that you can make the most from your merger, acquisition or sale. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get really clear on what it is you want from your sale. Look at your desired result and how it will affect your life. If you do wish to sell, take your time to get to that conclusion for the right reasons. Rushing into it will put all the power into the buyer's hands. Showcase your business when you put it on the market. Explain why it has a healthy future, and make sure potential buyers can see that systems and processes are in place in order to keep the running smooth during and after the handover. Think about the people you're leaving in the business, and consider whether or not an NDA might be useful, along with some form of remuneration. BEST MOMENTS 'You might want to use the capital in order to start another business' 'If you can do that at the start, it'll really help you' 'What you don't want to do is rush at this' 'Show what the potential value of the business can be' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette talks to TEDs Speaker, entrepreneur, public speaking coach and self-professed "igniter" of ideas and motivations - Dan Ram - a man responsible for global startups, and hosting events featuring the likes of Barack Obama, Sir Richard Branson and Reid Hoffman. Dan discusses the power of immersing yourself within the uncertain from time to time, why curiosity is the key to unlocking potential, and how to reframe setbacks as lessons so as to unlock learning potential at all times. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all need to step outside of our comfort zones and enter uncertainty in order to push ourselves to see what's possible. You can't embrace opportunity if you wait for it to come to you. It's useful to adopt the mindset of a child from time to time, in that we need to embrace the power of exploration, and say yes to things that might lead us in new directions. Be curious! Failure is never the end of any endeavour. It merely teaches us about the right way to succeed at something. Reframe failure as a lesson, and your success rate with increase exponentially. Everything in life can be seen either as a hindrance or an ignition. The key to framing them in a positive way is you. BEST MOMENTS 'You need to receive and give. You need to immerse yourself in what's uncertain' 'Adapting and reinventing is an important part of being brave and bold and brilliant' 'There's nothing you can say that would scare or intimidate me.

Jeannette is joined by Neil Fillbrook, one of the most experienced and renowned international bankers in the sector, and a man with over two decades of experience, having worked with such respected names as Royal Sun Alliance and HSBC, and now acts as President and CEO of Bankbrokers Consultancy Group. Neil joins Jeannette to talk about his fascinating career, and what has changed and evolved in the banking industry across the span of his journey, the best advice for companies looking to survive and thrive through tough times, and why we should always look at opportunities with a sense of bravery. KEY TAKEAWAYS When opportunity arises, it's only natural to feel cautious, but we shouldn't let this caution override the positives. All in the incredible paths that open up to us begin with a brave, bold step. Even if you fall flat on your face, you'll still have learned something from the experience. There are no such things as failures - only lessons. A client values trust and support more than anything else. If you can make a client feel as though you are there for them when times get tough, then loyalty will follow. In order to ensure your survival during tougher times, it's necessary to hunker down and cut costs where possible. But we must never over indulge in this practice, and make sure we keep a "helicopter view" of areas in which we should grow or acquire. BEST MOMENTS 'I'll say yes to anything' 'Just think about what if?' 'It's a simple proposition. We're on your side, helping you, and I think clients really like that' 'Don't hunker down too much. Look for the opportunities' 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.

John Lewis have recently announced their intention to diversify their business model, and start investing in property. They plan to spend £500m on building over a thousand rental homes over the forthcoming year. But what will this mean for your own property investing portfolio? In this episode, Jeanette unpacks the story and talks about the impact of such a fascinating new foray for one of the country's most respected business names. KEY TAKEAWAYS The sites at which John Leis are building the rentals are mainly in London - Bromley and West Ealing - but Reading's vacant warehousing may also be part of the plan. Sustainability is a big part of John Lewis's ethos, and they have committed to a net zero pledge by 2035. It will be interesting to see how this stretches into their property plans. John Lewis will now have a retail arm, but also an asset branch that appreciates over time, and brings in cash each month. This demonstrates the value of having a diversified portfolio of investments, as it proves to de-risk other arms of income, and relieves pressure all round. BEST MOMENTS 'There's a commitment to affordable housing, which is very much aligned with John Lewis's values' 'You've got to remember that there's a shortage of 75,000 properties just in London alone' 'It helps you think about your own income stream in context to what's going on in the market' 'They are de-risking their core retail business' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Steven Daines who is the Chief Talent & Culture Officer and a member of Accor’s Executive Committee. He trained as a banker but decided to take a different direction and joined Carnival Cruise Lines which gave him the travel and hospitality bug. They discuss diversity in-depth. How it benefits companies and the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve true diversity. As well as talking about managing a range of hotels that cover the entire spectrum from budget to luxury and the future of the industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS From the start, Accor decentralised, recruited locally, and empowered those people. Because of recruiting locally, the Accor group has always had good diversity. But has had to work harder on gender diversity. Decision-making is of a higher quality if you represent the diversity of your customers. Cultural differences still present challenges, but it is a learning curve. Social mobility is a big part of true diversity. Achieving true diversity means different things in different places. Companies need to learn to provide services that work for a far more diverse demographic. Any industry that needs people to work unsociable hours is struggling to attract staff. You learn fastest when you are challenged. If you are given an opportunity, take it. Accor values experience and passion combined with empathy with guests. BEST MOMENTS ‘It is still ridiculous that there should be less than half of the leaders of any company anywhere who are ladies. ´ ‘What I would like, really, is for Accor to be known within the next five years as the most culturally diverse company on Earth.’ ‘I think all of us want to experience professional service, but we don't want it to be stiff. We don't want it to be passively formal, it suddenly feels very 19th-century.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

He graduated in Economics and holds an MBA in Hospitality Management from ESSEC. Steven Daines started his career in Florida as a Purser on cruise ships before joining Accor in 1994.

Steven then switched to the Hotel Business and held several positions in regional hotel operations, in France and South America. In 2012, he was appointed General Manager for Formule 1 and ibis Budget for France. He was appointed at the Executive Committee in 2014, as Regional CEO in charge of Northern Europe and Russia. He was afterwards in charge of Middle East and Africa and of the New Businesses division until end of 2017, joining then Affidea, the European leader in the operation of Diagnostic Centers, in the healthcare business. In November 2019, he was appointed Chief Talent & Culture Officer and member of Accor’s Executive Committee.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about creating a recession-proof business using Burberry as an example of how to do it. In terms of year-end results, Burberry generated revenues of £1.35 billion despite trading in today´s difficult economic climate. So, what does that mean for your business or the department you run for someone else? What can you learn from Burberry? Jeannette has done the analysis and shares what she has learned from her review of Burberry´s success. Including explaining how anyone can apply those lessons to their own business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite the poor economic climate, Burberry´s revenues and profits are still up by 11% year on year. With an amazing year-end profit of £1.35 billion. The luxury market is resilient compared to other markets. Having a strong brand helps. Is your business product desirable and/or unique enough? Being able to diversify where you sell and what you sell is especially important in tough economic times. BEST MOMENTS ‘Having a strong, powerful brand can really make a difference in terms of customers staying with you and being loyal to your product or service. ´ ‘They (Burberry) were also able to diversify their earnings within their sector.’ ‘How are you treating your customers? Do you know them well enough?’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

She also runs the Brave Bold, Brilliant podcast when she somehow finds the time and rocks out to ACDC, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Foo Fighters. In this enlightening episode, David talks to her about her own journey and purpose, how she discovered it and how she goes about implementing it with some very simple tips. KEY TAKEAWAYS The easiest person to lie to is yourself so when you’re making a significant decision you have to be brutally honest. When you're making a big change just be careful of the naysayers. Make sure you’re surrounded by the right people. Be yourself, Everyone else is taken. Life is an inside job - look after your mental health and your physical health to be the best you you can be to realise your full potential If you’re driven and have a clear purpose and aren’t afraid of the hard work, whatever your background, there’s a world out there for the taking. BEST MOMENTS ‘Work hard, play hard!’ ‘What do you really want that’s true to you? If you can get that out of your head and down on paper. Even if it’s a jumble and it’s literally thinking about everything you want, it helps you then to start to get clarity.’ ‘I have my year plan; I have my twelve week year. For me, what gets measured gets done.’ ‘ I’m here to make a difference to other people so it’s a wider legacy for me.’ ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no-one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell and this show is where these stories come to life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about turning your accent into your superpower. She explains how, at one stage, she felt self-conscious about her own accent and how she came to understand that having a distinctive accent was in fact an advantage. Something she could leverage and benefit from, which is exactly what you can do with your own accent using the tips Jeannette shares. KEY TAKEAWAYS Regardless of what you do people are going to judge you because of your accent. You can´t stop people from judging you. However, you can decide whether you are going to let what they may be thinking hold you back. An accent is one way to stand out from the crowd. Never be afraid to be yourself. Be proud of where you are from, and your background. It is part of what makes you unique and therefore valuable. BEST MOMENTS ‘You are going to be judged anyway regardless, so when it comes to accent, it's time to embrace it. ´ ‘If you change your approach and say, no, actually, I'm proud of where I'm from, I'm proud of my background, I am who I am, then straight away, you are immediately on a winning track.’ EPISODE RESOURCES Speaking Up survey that looks at the impact your accent has in the workplace - https://www.suttontrust.com/our-research/speaking-up-accents-social-mobility/ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mark Wright who went from arriving in the UK with only £172 in his pocket to winning The Apprentice, in 2014. He applied for the show because he was desperate to secure finance for a business idea. Several banks had already turned him down. It worked! Lord Sugar initially invested £250k before becoming a 50% shareholder as well as Mark´s business partner and mentor. He has sold that business, Climb Online, to XSNA for 7 figures, money that Mark plans to invest in other businesses. Mark and his fiancée are awaiting the arrival of their first baby and are getting married at the end of 2023. During this podcast, Mark shares some fascinating insights into what it is like to be a contestant on The Apprentice and have Lord Sugar as a mentor and business partner. He explains how travel helped to prepare him for The Apprentice and life as an entrepreneur. Mark shares some key pieces of advice that anyone can use to become successful. KEY TAKEAWAYS It does not matter where you start - you can achieve considerable success. Mark arrived in the UK as a backpacker with only £172 in his pocket. When things are not going well, remember that nothing lasts forever, you always come out the other side and enjoy better times. Travel pushes you to try new things, learn from others and become more adaptable. It is a fantastic way to transform yourself. CoVid has pushed businesses to go online. Helping Climb Online to make a profit in the first year and become self-funded in under 6 years. When it comes to funding, be incredibly careful about whom you partner with and how much equity/control you give away. Don’t make the mistake of pushing your body too far. You need to look after yourself physically to stay productive. Consistency is the key to success. The key to high performance is self-esteem. When you believe in yourself you can achieve anything. You need to have a thick skin to be in business. To go all the way, you have got to be tough and not afraid to tell it like it is. BEST MOMENTS‘Lord Sugar is scary on TV, and he is 10 times scarier in real life... he is a tough, tough guy.’‘Make sure you take on the right levels of money and the right levels of people and advice into your business because if you let too many cooks in the kitchen, you'll end up breaking the business’‘I don't think there's ever been a better time to be an entrepreneur and start a business This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about quitting your job and becoming your own boss. Whether this is something you've been thinking about for a while, or you've just started on that journey yourself, this episode is for you. In it, Jeannette shares an 8-step process you can use to determine if working for yourself is likely to be the right choice, then if you decide it is, put together a plan to get you there.The advice she shares is current and highly effective because becoming her own boss is something that Jeannette has recently done herself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Becoming and being your own boss is not easy and is not for everyone. If you are stuck in a day job you don’t like or feel is not helping you to progress, becoming your own boss is worth investigating. Before you do anything, decide what you want to get out of being your own boss. Do your research – is it financially viable? What have you got to offer that is different from your competitors? Understand how much money you will need to get started and work out where to get it and how much it will cost. Make sure you have some cash reserves to live on that will take you through the initial start-up phase. Consider testing out your business idea as a side hustle. If you don't particularly enjoy your job, but it's a means to an end, as long as you're enjoying what that allows you to do that is OK too. BEST MOMENTS‘If this is something that you've been thinking about and you want to do, then, you know, do it, give it a go. ´‘Ask yourself what type of business you want to start. Is it a lifestyle business? maybe it's actually as simple as being a consultant, or a solopreneur.’‘Everyone's situation is different but think about your risk appetite.’ 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.

For this episode, Jeannette is joined by Ian Price, who is the director of the Confederation of British Industry here in Wales. They talk about all things business. Including starting companies, scaling them and how the CBI can help. As well as discussing some of the trends and pressures that many people are feeling at the moment. Ian also talks about his career journey. He also explains what the CBI does, in particular, how they lobby on behalf of businesses. As well as discussing diversity, levelling up, hybrid working, mental health and more subjects that impact business owners, with Jeannette. KEY TAKEAWAYS Honesty is important in business. If you are not honest about things, you never uncover problems and deal with them effectively. The CBI lobbies parliament and helps them to understand the impact their regulatory changes are likely to have. They act as a bridge between the two groups. Most people unconsciously recruit people who look and sound like them. It is something every business needs to be aware of and actively combat. In some areas, recruiting a diverse workforce is difficult because certain kinds of people are still not applying for certain jobs because they wrongly assume that they can’t do the work. Changing attitudes at the primary school level is key to ensuring you get a diverse pool of candidates. Having one mobile for work and one for your personal life helps you to switch off properly. Take advantage of any grants, courses, workshops, and organisations that are there to help your business. If you are honest, present your real self and treat people as you would like to be treated yourself others warm to you, and buy. BEST MOMENTS ‘I actually say, from all of my years in business, that the CBI has been a key part of engagement. ´ ‘I think sometimes keeping your body healthy is as important as keeping your mind healthy.’ ‘The zoom way of working is efficient but isn't always effective.’ 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.

In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Michael Jackson’s bodyguard, Matt Fiddes. He asks her about leading some of the world’s biggest travel firms, before leaving the industry to become an entrepreneur and setting up her mentoring, business advisory service and property companies.They talk about the various property business models. Discussing the pros and cons. In particular, about serviced accommodation and staycations. Moving on to discussing the current economic climate and how it is likely to impact interest rates, house prices and the type of property people want to stay or live in. As well as discussing the current state of the travel industry and how it is likely to evolve. Finishing up by talking about the power of social media, how it is changing and how to leverage it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Staycations are here to stay, which is an opportunity for serviced accommodation. Regulations and tax breaks are likely to change, so the serviced accommodation model may not be as easy. Multi-generational family holidays are a growing trend. The travel industry is dealing with multiple challenges, which is why there have been cancellations. But things are getting better. Which property business is right for you depends a lot on what your financial and lifestyle aims are. HMOs are once again in high demand, but they are challenging. Matt and Jeannette discuss the pros and cons of this business model. Your personal brand is critical, but you really must be yourself. Most skills are transferable. When you leverage them, you can achieve a huge amount. BEST MOMENTS‘I'm a working-class girl that's kind of worked her way up from scratch to becoming a corporate CEO and now an entrepreneur. So that's me in a nutshell. ´‘People want experiences, whether that's overseas or domestically, and what I'm seeing is a lot of intergenerational travel.’‘I think there'll be more stock coming on the market, I think prices will come down. As to whether there'll be a massive crash, like in 2007-2008, I'm not sure.’‘If you're thinking about a change in your career. Just give yourself a bit of headspace, you know and do what's right for you, don't worry about what other people think.’This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Matthew Campbell Laurenza the co-founder and CEO of MCL Design. He is a sculptor, artist, designer, lecturer, and philanthropist. Matthew creates beautiful jewellery, which is worn by some of the biggest celebrities in the world. Pieces that people can display as art, as well as wear and use as a form of personal expression. He talks about how thinking outside the box has helped him quickly reach a global market and secure many famous clients. Including, Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Alicia Keys, to name a few. Matthew explains why despite his work being in such high demand he keeps the price of his pieces accessible, so ordinary people can wear them too. He also tells Jeannette about some of the artists that inspire him and shares details of some of his upcoming exhibitions and appearances. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matthew´s work is heavily influenced by living and working in various parts of the world. Travel really does expand the mind. He believes in using high-quality materials that will last and look beautiful for many years to come. The fact that consumers are becoming more socially conscientious means they want to be sure that the people who create what they buy are well-paid and cared for. How people feel about a designer or brand has a significant impact on whether they buy or not. Being clear and honest with your staff helps to ensure that they do an excellent job and work efficiently. Trust your gut, but don´t be afraid to pay for advice from people that you know have the right expertise. Don’t be afraid to showcase what you can do, and your ideas. Dare to be different. Not being afraid to create something different has helped Matthew to secure big clients, like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Rosie, Taylor Swift, and Alicia Keys. BEST MOMENTS ‘So, when it's not in use as a piece of jewellery, it could be in use as a sculpture or a picture frame or a clock or something else. ´ ‘Luxury isn't necessarily about how much you pay for something.’ ‘For me, everything is produced by hand, we don't use computers, we don't use automated systems.’ ‘I think on the creative side, never be afraid to make something that you have a strong feeling about. It will turn out beautiful.’ ’The idea that somebody actually went out and bought a piece and is enjoying it is equally as satisfying to me as seeing somebody super famous wearing it.’ 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.

A Fine Arts graduate, his body of work, spanning over two decades, encompasses fine jewellery, objets d’arts, sculpture and painting, all reflective of his extensive and continuing travels. His pieces are held in private collections of the rich, the royal and the famous, and have been displayed in exhibitions worldwide, from Asia, Russia and the Middle East, to Europe and the US. The fluidity to Matthew’s designs maps his journeys across the planet, expresses his profound interest in history, culture and nature, and is a virtual library of his cumulative experience. A meticulous craftsmanship is one of the feature hallmarks of Matthew’s works, blended with precious and semi-precious stones, resulting in enviable and opulent articulations of his creative soul. Dedicated to the value, and therefore, the sustainability of authentic craft, Matthew insists on intricate handcrafting, by skilled artisans, compensated with fair wages. Sustainability permeates all of his work, recycling, reusing and repurposing, wherever possible, and ensuring ethical sourcing and production. Under his personal mantra ‘cherishable, not perishable’, Matthew creates timeless pieces, with a stringent quality of finish.

They are all methods that Jeannette has used herself, so you can be sure that they work. Including how to ditch things that are on your to-do list that really should not be there. KEY TAKEAWAYS Writing down exactly what you do with your time for 28 days is the starting point. Jeannette shares the precise technique she used to create her log. Stop task jumping.

At the end of the day, choose 3 things to prioritise. That will laser-focus you. Movement (exercise) is a powerful way to get clarity. BEST MOMENTS‘Do your most important tasks at a time of the day when you are at your most energised. ´‘As a woman, you will know that your 28-day cycle can also affect your productivity, your mood, and how you feel about things.’‘I find personally that I get my best ideas, I get my clarity of thinking when I am exercising.’This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to George Evans, who is an advocate for the trans community. He speaks openly about realising that he was a man despite being raised as a girl and his transition journey, which he started in his late teens. They discuss what being trans means and what it is like. George explains, what he did when he realised that the NHS was unable to help him to transition, how he met his girlfriend and how he felt while going through his transformation. As well as explaining the impact taking hormones had on his emotions, personality, and body. He also shares advice for others who find themselves in the same situation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone needs to be true to themselves. Life is better when you are yourself. There is still a lack of information for transexuals to access and still very little understanding in society as a whole. Don’t go through things alone connect to others who are on the same journey as you. Now, there are quite a few trans men groups on social media. Be 100% sure before transitioning physically. Hormones transform your brain too; you feel different and react differently to things. You never stop taking testosterone and it takes a long time for it to transform your body. Asking trans people about their surgeries is highly likely to make them feel very uncomfortable. It is an extremely intimate question. The kind of question you would not dream of asking anyone else. It is hard for people around you to adjust to a new name, pronouns and the gender change you have made. In some states in America, you can still get fired for being trans. BEST MOMENTS ‘Gender and sexuality are very different things. ´ ‘Find someone to connect with, talk to somebody who’s going through it. Don’t just sit there and think I am alone.’ ‘I always describe being trans today as like, as the equivalent of, being gay in the 70s.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about taking control of your life and your destiny, whatever that may be for you. She shares 10 simple steps anyone can take to do exactly that. Things Jeannette knows work because she has used them in her own life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Often, people feel out of control. Take note if you do feel that way. Your choices are your choices, and no one else’s. Knowing and accepting this will absolutely set you free. Stop blaming the economy or other people for your not being able to do things. Make some space for yourself to understand what you want. When you are clear about this you instantly become more in control. Write out a plan. It will change over time, but having one gives you a firm starting point. Invest in yourself, stay healthy, learn the skills you need and hire the people you need. Create new habits, it only takes 30 days to do so. Willpower only gets you so far, good habits drive you over the line. Taking shortcuts leads to long-term hardship in your life. BEST MOMENTS ‘Life happens for us, not to us. ´ ‘Taking accountability for your own life is liberating.’ ‘You get owt for nowt, you´ve got to take action.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Robin Hills about emotional intelligence, emotional quotient, and psychometric profiling. He explains what they are and how people can learn how to use them to become more successful. To understand themselves, and what makes them make poor decisions so that they can change that and start to get out of their own way. KEY TAKEAWAYS For entrepreneurs, psychological resilience is important. Everyone can be more intelligent Different organisational cultures have an impact on emotional intelligence in business. Emotional Quotients (EQ) are all measurable. Emotional Intelligence (EI) goes beyond EQ and looks at things that can´t necessarily be measured. Emotional Intelligence enables you to combine your thinking with your feelings to make good decisions. What you say and how you say it, has a massive impact. Take time to identify what it is that winds you up and stops you from making good decisions. Take time when you are under pressure to learn more about yourself. We are all emotional beings; we learn and make decisions based on our emotions. If you are angry all the time everyone around you, will be too. Don´t try to be something you are not. If you are not a good fit in an organisation, go elsewhere. BEST MOMENTS ‘EQ is the emotional quotient. So, these are measures of how we use certain aspects of emotional intelligence. ´ ‘Emotional intelligence is the way in which you combine your thinking, with your feelings in order to make good decisions.’ ‘What is it that stops you from making good decisions? What is it that you need to do in order to work better when these situations can occur?’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about understanding your why, your purpose. We are all taught to focus on what we do rather on why we are doing it. Jeannette explains how to turn things on their head and start with why. A simple change in thought process that is incredibly powerful. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are all programmed to focus on what we do and how. Very few of us think about why we are doing it. When we meet others, we naturally ask “what do you do for a living?” If you do not know why you are doing something, there is a good chance that you are focusing on the wrong things. People buy from you based on either manipulation or inspiration. If you focus on inspiration, you make an emotional connection with customers, which keeps them coming back. BEST MOMENTS ‘Very often we focus on what we do, instead of why we do it. ´ ‘You have much more of an emotional connection when you focus on your why.’ ‘If you have a strong connection to your why, to your purpose, it will help carry you through.’ 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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Steve Byrne who is the CEO of Travel Counsellors. They discuss the 3 evolutionary stages the business has gone through. A journey that resulted in double-digit growth every year to the point where turnover is now at £700 million. Steve explains how the company has benefitted from actively working to do the right thing for its customers and to be the best. They are a relationship-based business, so their people and trust are the glue that makes them strong. He explains that despite the pressures of CoVid they stuck to their values and how it enabled them to come through that crisis. He also talks about using sounding boards, making decisions, being resilient, staying in shape and how to expand overseas. KEY TAKEAWAYS We have looked at how we can grow by doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues. Too many travel firms expend all of their energy chasing new customers instead of looking after the ones that they already have. When you care more than anyone else, people notice the positive difference and come back to you repeatedly. Your career works in tandem with your personal life. You determine how they are blended. Surround yourself with the right people to act as a sounding board. When you have to make tough decisions, do it in the most caring way. Absorb headlines but don’t get overwhelmed by the details. You need to stay positive to be able to help. Most people want to be the best that they can be, so find ways to facilitate that. BEST MOMENTS ‘To keep it entrepreneurial you focus on growth and wanting to do better. ´ ‘Two-thirds of our business is repeat business… and the rest of it comes from referrals.’ ‘Build capacity within the team and create other leaders.’ ‘Learn not to worry about things that you cannot control.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about becoming a great leader. Providing advice that anyone who is in a leadership role can use to improve the way that they lead. The tips and strategies that she shares is highly relevant whether you have just been promoted and now lead a team or are a mature leader who wants to take the next step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Some people have natural attributes that help them to lead. But the vast majority of people can learn to become a good leader. Most people who get promoted into leadership roles are not provided with any targeted training to help them to lead effectively. Leaders need high emotional intelligence, the courage to make decisions, self-control and other that attributes Jeannette covers in the podcast. Good leaders do not micromanage. Being able to create win-win situations is important. Having a clear purpose, a place you want to get to and a plan to get there is essential. Have an eye for detail. It will help you to know when to dig in and when to ease off a little. Lead from the front and provide a good example. BEST MOMENTS ‘It is very different to lead than it is to follow. ´ ‘Leading can be really lonely… you need the courage of your conviction to be able to move forward.’ ‘Be authentic. People will absolutely see through fakes.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Richard Stone who has spent 30+ years working in construction and development. He is also a TEDx speaker and mentor. Richard is passionate about mental health issues and providing support to others who need help with this. Richard talks about his early life and his business journey and what he has learned along the way. He also speaks extensively about taking care of your mental health, overcoming trauma, grief, and other life challenges, while at the same time providing the right sort of support to help others to do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS Never leave things unsaid and always, always check in with people and make sure they are OK. The first step to effectively monitoring your mental health is regularly checking in with yourself and asking what am I feeling. How am I acting? Human beings are hardwired for connection. Even councillors have a supervisor to check in and make sure they are doing OK mentally. Everyone needs support with their mental health at some stage. There is a world of difference between mental illness and mental health issues. Being true to your values and genuine is the only way to be an effective leader. Treat your workers with respect. The people at the bottom of the pyramid are essential. Without them you are nothing. You won’t get innovation unless people feel that it is safe to share. Look at your team dynamics. Understanding how everyone fits together enables you to support your team and pick the right people for the tasks that need to be completed. Business owners need to learn to share the details of their failures as well as their successes. We can learn so much from each other. Running a small business is probably the loneliness place to be. There is no board of peers to support you and it is tough to secure finance. Connect with others for support. Don´t sweat the small stuff. How to stop doing that is explained in the podcast. BEST MOMENTS ‘I am a firm believer in our being where we are meant to be. ´ ‘Look at team dynamics and dynamics in meetings and dynamics when you are pitching all sorts of stuff.’ ‘For me, it is all about serving. It can be a lonely world out there, but it doesn´t need to be.’ ‘I don´t think we are really ever finished.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about overcoming the fear of public speaking that most of us suffer from. She explains how to become more confident and deliver your message in an impactful way. Doing so in a way that will also enable you to improve your daily communication, which will strengthen your relationships, job prospects and many other aspects of your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Public speaking is a fantastic way to improve your day-to-day communication. Invest in some training. Practice, there are some great clubs and groups out there that enable you to deliver a speech and receive constructive feedback. Use the pentagon technique Jeannette shares in the podcast to lay out your speech. Putting up a front is exhausting and impossible to keep up. It is better to be yourself. Use storytelling to bring your speeches to life. Tailor your speech to appeal to each audience you address. BEST MOMENTS‘Every single person has a valuable message to deliver. You need to realise and believe that. ´‘Unless you’ve got an absolutely amazing memory, you are not going to remember every aspect of your speech. But you can remember the structure.’‘Preparation. Do not just wing it.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Amanda Matthews who is something of a travel icon. She started working in the industry as a teenager and went on to climb the corporate ladder at Co-Op Travelcare, where she became the MD. Until she started her own company Designer Travel, which today, employs 105 home-based travel experts and a large support team. They provide high-quality yet affordable luxury holidays. Amanda explains how she used her passion to drive her success and her thirst for knowledge to enable her to excel in every role she took on. A way of working that took her to the top quickly at a time when very, very few women were offered senior roles. As well as sharing how she set up her business, ran it through Co-Vid, managed being a working mum and being treated for cancer. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you leave a big corporate job, you will find out who your faithful friends are. Employ people who have the same values as you. Going the extra mile will always create repeat customers. Your outlook on life affects everything. There are 2 ways to look at everything, always choose to look at things positively. Everyone has bad days. Learning how to get through them is key. CoVid was incredibly hard, but it made Amanda and her team stronger and enabled them to survive. Now, they are thriving. Honest communication is essential. Stay close to your team, understand them, and respond to their needs. Don´t stress about failing. Learn from it, but don´t dwell on it. If something´s wrong, own it, and face up to it right away. Whatever problem you have look at the worst-case scenario then work back from there. That prepares you to solve the problem come what may. BEST MOMENTS ‘I´ve always run the branch, the department, the company I was leading as if it was my own business. ´ ‘If you as the leader show that you can get through tough times, people will stay on the bus with you.’ ‘Always take the positive out of the negative.’ 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.

She gained a Travel and Tourism diploma at college whilst working a full-time job at WH Smith Travel in Coventry. Then, moved to a different travel agency that very quickly got taken over by Coop Travelcare. There she became one of the youngest managers at 18. Throughout her 21 years of service with Coop Travelcare, she worked as a regional manager, and operations director before becoming the managing director. At the time, the business had over 500 retail shops and call centres. As well as selling online. In 2008, the two largest Co-operatives, The Co-operative Group and United Northwest merged. At this point, the travel, food, and funeral arms of the Co-Op also merged. Around that time, Amanda took a redundancy package to set up her own business, from scratch. That was when Designer Travel was born. Today, Designer Travel employs 105 home-based luxury travel experts, all of whom have travelled extensively themselves. They are supported and coordinated by the staff who work out of the company’s admin centre, in Ramsbottom. The business also has a physical retail outlet, a website, and several social media channels. All of these are dedicated to creating the perfect holiday for any traveller, in any part of the world. Recruiting the right experts and offering high levels of support has been a key driver for Designer Travel, which 100% has an amazing DREAMTEAM. Building solid relationships with clients and suppliers has led to the creation of a successful luxury travel business. Something that Designer Travel has and always will aim to be.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why persistence is such a vital skill. She explains how to build up your resilience and persistence so that you can achieve your personal, business and career goals. Sharing a simple 8-step process anyone can use to persevere, break through any roadblocks, and achieve anything they want. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is normal to have bumps in the road. So, you need to learn how to get through them and continue on your journey to success. Not recognising what you want is going to make it very hard to be persistent. If you compromise too much or are too risk-averse that is going to feed a lack of persistence. Looking for shortcuts wastes time and energy. As well as making you believe you do not have to persist to achieve something. Nine times out of ten there are no shortcuts. Be self-reliant and believe in your ability to learn and achieve. Do not guess, glean the right knowledge to enable you to plan and make progress towards achieving your goals. Take consistent action for 30 days to change yourself and develop positive habits that will propel you forwards. BEST MOMENTS‘I genuinely believe that every single one of you has got greatness within. ´‘Watch out for procrastination, it is an absolute killer.’‘The most dangerous words are what people think and what other people say.’‘Are you spending time with the right people?’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to the entrepreneur and rugby star Paul Thorburn, who played 300 matches for Neath and 37 international matches for Wales, 10 of them as captain. He holds the record for the longest successful kick in an international test match. He gained the record during the 1986 Five Nations Championship at Cardiff Arms Park against Scotland. His penalty kick measured exactly 64.2 metres. He explains the role that having a winning mindset had in his sporting success and how he has applied what he learned while playing rugby to the world of business. Paul shares the details of his journey through life, so far. Including, how despite initially failing his A levels he resat and passed them so that he could attend Swansea university. There he got access to high-level coaching, which enabled him to excel at the sport he loved. Paul also explains how he prepared himself to become a successful entrepreneur and business consultant once his sporting career was over. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being in the right place at the right time plays a role in a successful career. But you have to recognise and take the opportunities. Team sport benefits people in many ways. You form strong, long-lasting relationships with your teammates. Having a winning mindset only produces results if you are disciplined about your training and preparation. Analysing your performance is an essential component of personal growth. Put any personal differences with team members aside and respect them. Employing experts to take care of different aspects of your business is vital. If you have an aspiration, go for it. Be true to yourself and give people the respect you would like to receive yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘You make your own luck. ´ ‘Neath was the first (rugby) club to start having individual performance analysis.’ ‘I apply the same (business) principles, regardless of my clients sector. A business is a business.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

He spent his childhood in various RAF Stations across England and was educated in a boarding school. He went on to study Microbiology at Swansea University. At that stage in his life, his main focus was his rugby career. He played 300 matches for Neath and went on to play for the Welsh national team 37 times. Including captaining the Welsh team on 10 occasions. After graduating he started work with a security business, but within 18 months then moved into a sector to use my qualifications and I started working for Glaxo Pharmaceuticals in a business development role, promoting their range of pharmaceutical products to the GPs and Pharmacists in South Wales. In 1991, he joined the Welsh Development Agency (WDA). A Government funded quango, tasked with attracting investment projects into Wales. His role, as one of the Project Managers, was to assist in securing foreign direct investment into Wales – these organisations included automotive component manufacturers, consumer electronics manufacturers, biotechnology companies, service industries and financial institutions. After a 5-year career with the WDA, John was then appointed Tournament Director for the 1999 Rugby World Cup Tournament, my role here was to deliver the World’s largest International Rugby Tournament. This one was the first one to be staged following the decision to make rugby a professional sport. Wales was the official host Nation, but the 42 International matches were spread across Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, and France, with the Opening Ceremony, the Opening match and the Final taking place at the New Millennium Stadium. As Tournament Director, John´s role was to put the event together, delivering the venues, training grounds, the hotels for participants and all the Officials, the team, and the official logistics programme, including overseas travel for the Teams, Officials; the medical provision; the Ceremonies and Official functions during the 7-week event. This was a 4-year contract, which ended in March 2000, on completion of the Tournament reports and reconciliation of the Tournament finances and distribution of the monies to the hosting Unions. After 4 years working as an Executive Search and Selection Consultant, recruiting senior Execs into Public and Private sector roles, John returned to the professional world of rugby. He joined the Welsh Rugby

In this episode, Jeannette talks about kickstarting your creativity and getting those ideas flowing. To do this for your team as well as for yourself. Jeannette takes you through the 20-20 creative brainstorming model that she uses and teaches her mentees. A straightforward way to find time in what are often extremely busy days to come up with and capture ideas so that you are ready to act and turn them into reality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Not giving yourself and your team a chance to create innovative ideas leaves you with a stagnant business. Be clear about the target of each idea-generating session. Solving a specific business problem is a good goal. Ask your team to prepare in advance of each session. For example, familiarising themselves with the problem. In the episode, Jeannette explains how to do this in a way that does not stifle creativity. The 20/20 method means that you brainstorm for at least 20 minutes and produce 20 ideas. This provides momentum and flow, which ensures more unusual ideas surface too. Keep the energy levels in the room high. Remove duplicates, and then, as a group, prioritise the ideas that remain. For the best ideas, keep the momentum, and create a full implementation plan. Jeannette explains, in detail, how to do this. BEST MOMENTS ‘Great ideas come when we set the scene for those to be creative. ´ ‘Think about the environment… it is important to remove distractions.’ ‘It is important as a business leader that you commit to actually moving this forward.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Duncan O´Rourke who is the Chief Executive Officer of Northern Europe at Accor. He talks about his early life, living in South Africa, and then being educated in an English boarding school. How these things shaped the man he became and the career path he chose to follow. Duncan explains what it is like to run a brand that serves multiple sectors of the travel business. They also talk about how to build a strong team even though there is a severe shortage of talented people, at the moment. Dealing with the challenge of climbing the corporate ladder. As well as learning to switch gears and stop being the CEO when you are at home. KEY TAKEAWAYS What luxury is and means to people is constantly changing. Personalised service is a key component of what people expect from a luxury brand. You can't manage the IBIS brand the same way you manage the Raffles Hotel brand. But attention to detail is essential at all levels of the hotel industry. Climbing the corporate ladder is stressful. For every new role, you will have holes in your knowledge. Being honest about what you don't know is important. Stress is a part of respecting the challenge that you are facing. Surround yourself with people who are better than you. Employ self-starters who have sound values. There is a massive shortage of talented staff within the travel industry. Duncan estimates between 10 and 15%. During times of crisis, clear and regular communication is vital. Diversifying your team must not be about quotas. You just need to be genuinely open to hiring the right person for the job. BEST MOMENTS ‘For me, luxury is limited by definition, it is personalised. ´ ‘During those times when you have those sleepless nights, remind yourself what is going right.’ ‘Our clients are diverse, so we embrace diversity and think it's important.’ ‘Pretty good is not good enough. You always want to deliver your best.’ 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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks with Joel White of the Ramsay & White Podcast. She explains how despite having an economics degree and joining the government's economic service she ended up working at the CEO level within the travel industry. Before leaving to become an entrepreneur, property developer, mentor, podcaster, and board advisor. Jeannette talks about handling the stress of working for large corporations, at a senior level. Sharing details of how she built her teams and handled the pressure of being responsible for multi-million-dollar companies. Jeannette explains why she has had mentors and coaches throughout her career and how she got the most out of those relationships. As well as explaining how she reviews her client's businesses to help them to grow fast and, if they want to do so, sell them for a high price. KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to recruit people who are smarter than you. Set your team members up for success, let them fly, but have the right checks and balances in place. You need to protect your team, to sometimes act as a buffer. Using psychometric profiling tools can be highly beneficial. In the episode, Jeannette explains how she uses them. If you think that you might want to sell your business, at some stage, set it up with that in mind. If you want to exit your business, in the future, you need a formidable team in place to be able to do that. Publishing consistently is a big part of making a podcast successful. Be clear about what you want to do, work backwards to determine how to get there, set a timeframe and take the necessary action. Remember that work is not always the most important thing in their life. Be there to help them and form personal bonds with your team. People don't remember what you say, they remember how you make them feel. BEST MOMENTS ‘I really genuinely loved all of the roles that I have done. ´ ‘Having a coach at that point was really helpful for me, because... I was stepping up into a totally different world.’ ‘Be bold. I think what's the point of doing anything if you are not going to make the biggest impact?’ Check out Ramsay & White Podcast on YouTube or listen on Spotify!

In this episode, Jeannette speaks with Alison Edgar MBE, a renowned public speaker, award-winning author, and entrepreneur who now teaches others how to use her out-of-the-box approach to transform their businesses. They talk about not letting imposter syndrome stop you. How to reframe the negatives, take ownership of your life and get over the fear of doing something new. Alison also shares the methods she uses to overcome a fear of public speaking, and to create and remember impactful speeches despite being dyslexic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Never underestimate the value of the skills you learn doing those first menial jobs. If you are not good at academia don´t worry it is not necessary for success. Learn to reframe negatives into positives. If you don´t you will hold yourself back. Focus on what you are good at but continue to learn and try new things. If something is not working, stop and try something else. With public speaking, timing is everything. Use breathing to control your nerves and help your words to have more impact. This works for conversations as well as for public speaking. Doing what you love, the thing you were born to do energises you. You are only on this planet for a short while, don’t waste your time looking back thinking about things you wish you had done. When you fail you will feel bad, but don't allow yourself to stay in that mindset. Surround yourself with people that energise you. BEST MOMENTS ‘Never let the voice (self-doubt) win. If you do, you´re never really going to be happy because you´re always going to be focusing on the wrong things. ´ ‘If you haven't brought your heart rate down, you will not be able to make that massive impact with your words.’ ‘I shoot from the hip, always tell the truth.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why age is a state of mind. She demonstrates how most people, both young and old, let their age hold them back from doing what they want to do. Then share some examples and tips to help you to break out of this negative mindset so that you can enjoy life to the max and fulfil your full potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all tend to think we are too old or too young to do something. The founder of KFC established the business when he was 62. Ray Kroc was 50 when he founded McDonald’s. Age is no barrier to success. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook at 19. You can control how you feel about your age. To achieve what you want you need to work on your self-belief. You´ve got to have a plan and take action. You only fail if you give up. Persist. It will get tough; things will go wrong…but persist. BEST MOMENTS ‘People say oh I am too old…or the converse – I’m too young I don't have the experience…age is a state of mind. ´ ‘Regardless of age, there are no barriers. They are only in your mind.’ ‘I work on myself every single day.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Vishal Sinha who she worked alongside at TUI. While there he learned one of his guiding principles from Jeannette – FIOFO, what that is might surprise you. He was the CEO of CWT and TUI, in India and filled several senior roles at BA. Vishal has just set up his own business – We The Chefs. A business he started almost by accident during the pandemic. With Jeannette he talks about leading a team through adversity, understanding customers, building confidence, staying positive, communicating effectively, and making decisions with limited information. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many home cooks want to be able to sell their food and make a living from their passion. We The Cooks take care of the marketing and distribution which enables the chefs to focus on the cooking. Your business needs to be compliant and sustainable. Setting up processes and keeping them up to date equips you to grow fast. Sometimes it is necessary to make decisions before you have all the relevant information to hand. Don’t be afraid of asking your team questions when you don’t understand something. Be honest with your team. If you don’t tell them the truth you erode the confidence they have in you. BEST MOMENTS ‘The idea was to bring people and cultural nuances closer. ´ ‘What we are saying is focus on the cooking, we take all of the admin work away.’ ‘For me, it was always about moving out of my comfort zone and trying out something new.’ ‘It is better to do something rather than just thinking about it. ´ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

English speakers typically use around 5,000 words to communicate but there are 700,000 aspects of body language. Humans instinctively pay more attention to how someone looks and moves than they do to what they are saying. So, mastering body language is important. Jeannette quickly explains the impact your posture, hand movements, gaze, how you take up space, facial expressions, and the way you hold your head has on how you are perceived. Then, share some simple things you can do to improve your body language. KEY TAKEAWAYS People pick up on your body language all the time and they are judging you based on it. If what you are saying does not match your body language, people will not trust you. Don´t be paranoid about your body language but do be aware of it. Your posture says a huge amount about you. Giving the right amount of eye contact is important. People tend to mirror the body language of others, if you exude positivity and energy, it can lift the mood of those around you. Your hands are very expressive. Respect the fact that people need their own physical space. BEST MOMENTS ‘There are 170,000 words in the English language, 5000 of which are commonly used, but when it comes to body language there are 700,000 aspects. ´ ‘There are 43 muscles in your face, each of those muscles could portray 1000 words.’ ‘Different cultures have different perceptions about territory (personal space).’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to James Cole who is a travel industry veteran and the founder and owner of Panache Cruises. They discuss how he was able to establish a successful cruise business just as the pandemic started and still grow it despite the fact there were no cruises for his team to sell. How he and his team used the pandemic to lay the foundations of the success they are experiencing today. KEY TAKEAWAYS Niching down in an industry that James knows well has helped his businesses to thrive. Genuinely, being there for your customers builds strong relationships with them and creates loyalty. Panache Cruises are bringing back old-fashioned one-on-one, in-person, customer service. Being there to answer questions and share information during the pandemic meant people came back to them when it was possible to book cruises. Planning long-term is healthy for a business. Looking after yourself physically and mentally is key to success. You must believe in yourself, keep going and have good people around you. Appreciate and celebrate success including the smaller ones, for example, when a new recruit secures their first booking. BEST MOMENTS ‘It started as a spreadsheet that looked at what the cash flow would be like. ´ ‘Our strapline is that nothing is too much trouble, and we genuinely live by that philosophy.’ ‘There's a cruise out there for everyone.’ 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.

In his early career he helped set up The Cruise Store for MyTravel, a dedicated cruise retailer, which grew to £120m in sales in 3 years and, following the coming together of MyTravel and Thomas Cook in 2007, he then merged their two cruise businesses into a £300m entity which at the time was the UK’s largest cruise retailer. Since then James has been the driving force behind many of the UK’s largest cruise brands, including Cruise118, Six Star Cruises and River Voyages. During his highly entrepreneurial career, he has retailed over £1bn of cruise holidays. James launched Panache Cruises in July 2020 at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, using the period of lockdown to develop his business plans and establish the business. Initially employing a team of 15 in the North West, the business promises to offer an unrivalled level of personal service to those wishing to cruise in luxury, offering customers a 24/7 ‘nothing is too much trouble service.’ The company’s inventory of cruises offers over 7,000 itineraries, visiting over 1,000 ports of call with 20 of the world’s leading luxury cruise lines that specialise in Elite Ocean, River, Expedition, and Yacht-style cruising, including Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, Silversea, Seabourn, Crystal, Azamara, Celebrity, Scenic, Emerald, Uniworld, Hurtigruten, Aurora Expeditions, Riviera, Avalon and SeaDream Yacht Club. Since its launch Panache has reached over 1.25m luxury cruisers and built a database of over 30,000 contacts and growing. The business has also delivered a highly impressive performance during this time, generating £10 million in sales – against a backdrop of a global pandemic. The company posted a turnover of £5m in its first full year of operation and is already making a monthly EBITDA profit. It is currently on target to make an overall profit in its second full year of trading. Panache Cruises is seeking to employ a team of 100, be the largest seller of luxury and ultra-luxury cruises in the UK and achieve a turnover of £60m+ and EBITDA of £3m+ by 2027. James was born and continues to live in Bolton and was a former pupil of Parklands High School in Chorley and Runshaw College in Leyland. He later became an MBA graduate and Honorary Fellow of the University of Central Lancashire. In 2011 he was named the Travel Industry Hall of Fame’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and in August 2021 he was announced as the winner of the John Hays Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2021 at the Travel Industry Awards 2021 by TTG. James is married to Heather and has three children.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to successfully navigate these difficult financial times. She shares strategies that anyone can use to get through the upcoming recession and emerge stronger than you were before. Jeannette covers how to protect yourself from rising interest rates and identify ways to reduce your costs and improve cash flow. She also explains how to recognise and take advantage of the opportunities that always emerge at times like these. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don’t shy away from bad news about the economy. You need to know what is going on to be in a position to make the right decisions. The double digit inflation we are facing will impact people fast. Now is the time to prepare. The Bank of England’s 2% inflation target means that interest rates are likely to increase further. Adversity always brings opportunities, take advantage of them. Could you start a side hustle or offer new services or products? Look at where you can cut back, so you are ready to do so fast should you need to. Good cash flow is a huge asset for businesses, at times like this. Support each other. BEST MOMENTS ‘This is the sixth rise in interest rates. In the UK, they are now at the highest level since 2008. ´ ‘If you run a business, take a really hard look at your cost base.’ ‘Face it head on with courage, with calmness and don’t shy away from making those tough decisions.’ 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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mark Homer who is the co-founder of Progressive Property, Progressive Success, and several other ventures. Mark explains how being raised in different countries and attending boarding school positively shaped his life. They discuss how he ended up buying and selling 1,000 houses and converting 600,000 square feet of space into residential properties. He explains why he is planning to put solar panels on most of the homes his 360 tenants live in. As well as talking about the current financial climate, inflation, wage demands, rising power prices, crypto and interest rates. KEY TAKEAWAYS Travelling builds emotional intelligence. It teaches you that there is more than one “right way” to tackle things Who you mix with from an early age has a significant impact on what you learn and your outlook on life. Power bills are set to soar, so now is a good time to install solar. You need a mixture of cash, equity, and property to insulate yourself during tough economic times. Exercise, having a clean bedtime routine and being self-aware all help you to sleep well. Working with a business partner who is different from you brings benefits. Mark explains how to maximise them. As interest rates rise, demand and growth will fall. Financial unrest always results in opportunities. With a property business, it is important to focus on cash flow. If you can't pay your mortgage you are going to lose your property. BEST MOMENTS ‘You need to go and see the rest of the world. It provides you with tools to use for business and relationships. ´ ‘If you can navigate the bad times, the good times usually look after themselves.’ ‘Focus on making sure that income streams and the yield are really, really strong.’ 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.

Mark has developed in excess of 600,000 square foot of mainly pubs, offices and retail into mixed and residential uses – many of which were built in house by Progressive. Mark has sourced and developed in excess of 1,000 property units since 2003 and has held an equity share in portfolios he has developed within properties valued at over £80M. His personal property portfolio holds in excess of 360 residential and commercial tenancies with a property value in excess of £37 Million making him the largest Private Residential Landlord in the Peterborough area. Mark is also Co-Founder of Progressive Lets which manages around 1,100 tenants which represents over 4% of Peterborough’s private rented properties.[1] He has commented and been referenced in many major publications including Independent, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, BBC News, Sun, Metro, Guardian, Daily Mail, ITV, BBC Radio as well as authoring more than 7 books on Property and Business, some of which are internationally published and have reached best seller status. Mark also has a podcast called “Mark my Words”. Mark is a Helicopter pilot, has run 2 Marathons, loves skiing, shooting, Business, Finance, Politics and Economics. Mark broke the Guinness world record for the longest team speech marathon in 2015. Mark quit corporate life in 2005 where he saw a long road to quiet desperation, giving up a ‘good job’ that was actually dead end and monotonous. Mark has been an entrepreneur investor since the age of 15, setting up many small businesses through University, and continually saving, re-investing and compounding the money using laws of wealth that he now teaches to 10,000s of people. Often behind the scenes and reclusive, Mark just likes to buy property. He’d love to keep investing for another 50 years, doesn’t really like spending money and has a great eye for cost control. It is possibly the unique partnership of Rob and Mark that has scaled and sustained Progressive when others have come, gone and struggled. Two very different people but with a great friendship, both best-men at each others’ weddings, and similar vision for educated property investment for freedom, choice and profit. Since stepping back from training due to schedules, scale and demands on his time Mark has successfully trained many Progressive students to become trainers for Progressive. A large majority are “home grown”, all walking the walk practising what they teach, to help you build Multiple Streams of Property

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to make things happen. How to turn all that stuff that you are constantly learning and talking about into action. She shares how to go from passive learning to getting results and mastering new skills. Doing so by explaining what the learning pyramid is and how you can use what it teaches us to get stuff done. KEY TAKEAWAYS We get a lot of incoming information and are constantly learning. But putting that all into action overwhelms most of us. There’s a lot of noise out there, it is important that we actually focus so that we can achieve results. We all take in information in different ways. People only absorb 10% of what they read, but 90% of what they do is absorbed. The formula for success is belief, plus action. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can have so much information coming your way and get bombarded, which sometimes can be overwhelming. ´ ‘We are trying to get things done here, to be better versions of ourselves.’ ‘Physically doing it yourself is where you are going to get results.’ 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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Michael Finnigan. He is a motivational speaker, an author and an elite coach. Michael is the man that inspires greatness and empowers everyone. When he took a course to become an accredited psychometric profiler, he was stunned to learn that the founders of that business wanted to retire and pass it on to him. He and Jeannette talk about his work in the world of sports, with ex-prisoners, kids that are struggling academically and some of his many other types of clients. They also discuss networking, identifying your personality type, taking the right approach to failure, bringing a team together and why it is vital to dream big and keep that dream alive. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being curious and tenacious opens you up to new experiences and opportunities. Don't judge people, just get to know them. You will be surprised by where this approach leads. Keep your dream alive. Don't lower your expectations. You are going to work hard. Make sure you are working hard at something that is worth it. Don’t waste energy trying to be someone you are not. Instead, lean into who you are and work to maximise what you have to offer. There are 10 things you need to do to transform your life, which Michael explains briefly in the podcast. Be grateful for failure, it teaches you about what is missing, so you can correct that and succeed. We are culturally conditioned not to fail, not to risk anything or make mistakes. It's holding us back. Banter kills teams. If something bothers you it is not the thing itself. It’s the importance you attach to it. BEST MOMENTS ‘That is when I studied psychometric, psychological profiling and found out that Thunderbirds was a valid psychological model. ´ ‘You’ve got to keep the dream alive.’ ‘I won't work with someone who wants to change their Thunderbird.’ ‘The right thought is all it takes to bounce back from failure.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.
