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

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.

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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to stop wasting time and energy when making decisions. She explains how to stop procrastinating and become someone who can make sound decisions, quickly and with confidence.The strategies she shares in this episode are all relatively simple to implement. They can be used by anyone and effectively deployed in your personal as well as your business life.KEY TAKEAWAYS You only have one life, so the last thing you need is to waste time dithering and worrying about every decision you make.

Being clear about your purpose and your reason why is a key component of the decision-making process. Don’t let the fear of getting it wrong get in your way. Get someone in your life that can guide you through things. Be ready to make the best decision you can, with imperfect information. BEST MOMENTS‘Decisive decision-making makes a huge difference to the results that you can achieve. ´‘Persistence is critical … if you make a decision and it doesn’t quite go your way. That’s alright, learn from it.’‘To be effective at making decisions, it is a lot easier if you have a clear plan.’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 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. We can always learn.’ 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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. Whether it is what people want to hear or not. I am not programmed to lie.’ ‘Your version of brave, bold, brilliant could be completely different to somebody else´s.’ 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 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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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.

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.

On completion of his study in psychological strategies to deliver personal change, Michael set out with one aim…to change millions of lives for the better. Kicking off his career in developing and achieving peak performance with scientific method and technique at its core, Michael’s first client came in the form of ‘The Whirlwind’, Jimmy White, at a time when he was battling several demons and needed serious help to not only excel in his snooker career and be the best he could be, but to live. The partnership was an incredible success, and as news of Jimmy’s own personal ‘motivator’ spread through the sporting world, Michael found himself quickly in demand from sports stars from around the world. He realised that the principles he had studied for many years to develop leaders and business people to be their best and achieve peak performance, also applied in sport, and soon found himself heavily involved in a successful 7 years at Everton FC, coaching Darren Clarke to win The Open championship in 2011, working behind the scenes with the team and Roberto Martinez when Wigan Athletic triumphed over football giant Manchester City and many more fantastic partnerships including Freddie Flintoff, Phil Neville, the India Cricket Team, the South Africa Cricket Team, South Sydney Rabbitohs and Bolton Wanderers. In business, Michael has worked internationally for 27 years developing and transforming companies of all shapes and sizes to achieve their goals. A regular feature at many client conferences, Michael has travelled the world speaking to thousands of people with Travel Counsellors, Vodafone, HSBC, Natwest, The British Army, The Police, our incredible NHS and many more, to divulge the science behind our behaviours and how his experience and the techniques used in ‘winning’ with elite sportspeople and teams, can be easily translated into ‘winning’ in the business world. From goal achievement, leadership, vision, mission, values, to endless inspirational and empowering stories from Michael’s partnerships over the years, audiences leave a session with him feeling like they can take on the world. And do! The change seen in behaviours, attitudes and performance after a sess

In this episode, Jeannette talks about becoming an amazing communicator. A skill that enables you to get the most out of people. Jeannette explains how you can use the 5QF model to quickly improve the way you communicate. Something Jeannette has used throughout her career and entrepreneurial life. During the episode, she shares several examples of how she has used it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective communication helps you to really understand what is going on behind the scenes in your company or organisation. People expect conversations to start from a negative angle. When you approach them from a positive direction, they respond well and open up. Ask what´s working to open the conversation up positively. Listen intently. Using the 5QF model enables you to quickly find solutions. BEST MOMENTS ‘This five-question framework is super simple. But it’s really powerful. ´ ‘When you apply this (positive) approach, it’s quite disarming. In a good way.’ ‘Ask what are the gaps between where we are and where we want to be.’ 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 Michael Heppell who is an author, speaker and coach who teaches people how to be brilliant. He talks about his journey including his work as a teacher, highly effective community fundraiser and entrepreneur. They talk about the power of networking, focus, not being afraid to fail, having a level-headed partner and more. Michael also explains how writing a book transformed him and his business. Including how anyone can do the same. He explains how to focus on the right things so that you can go from being good to being brilliant at what you do. KEY TAKEAWAYS Invest in yourself – What was the last course you went on that you paid for? When you have a mission, and everyone is on the same page it is amazing what you can achieve. Being clear on what you want to do and the positive impact you can have is a highly effective way to unlock your potential. Never be afraid of trying and failing. It is how you grow. Don´t let your ego take over. Writing a book is life-changing. It focuses you, makes you a better person and is the best business card you can ever have. Everyone has a story, something to contribute to the world. You achieve brilliance when you are not satisfied with being good. Being prepared to do the things others won't, leads to brilliance. Often, going that extra mile in just a few key areas of your life is enough to enable you to excel. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everyone´s passion needs to be found. But it's OK to fail on the way to finding it. ´ ‘Write a book. It’s the best business card you can ever have.’ ‘When opportunities show up, you say yes.’ 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 why 95% of people never fulfil their true potential. Yet, with the right approach, it really is possible to achieve more than you ever dreamed was possible. Jeannette explains, in an easy-to-understand and implement way, exactly how to be a winner and stop settling for average. What she shares, in this episode, is tried, tested and practical. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to understand what the signs of mediocrity are. Jeannette tells you how. You can learn lessons from the past. But must not be constantly looking back. A lack of purpose results in your wasting time and energy. Hang out with people who are a couple of steps ahead of you, winners. Confucius said – Those who think they can and those who think they can't are usually both right. The right mindset is vital. Elite athletes do not win gold medals by chance. They decide they want to be in the top 5%. Work on being the best, every day. Taking consistent action is critical. You don't have to be great to get started. But you have to start. Your journey is your journey. Don't compare yourself to others.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Lord John Bird who is a British social entrepreneur and life peer. He is the co-founder of The Big Issue magazine, which helps the homeless or vulnerably housed to make their own money and transform their lives. He is a passionate advocate for the homeless. Lord John Bird explains why he is on a mission to dismantle poverty. To get rid of it, instead of continuing to try to make the life of the poor slightly more comfortable as we are doing now. It is an approach that does not work for those living in poverty or for society as a whole. KEY TAKEAWAYS Poverty is poverty of spirit, poverty of opportunity, poverty of support, not just a lack of money. About 40% of our taxes is spent on dealing with the fallout from poverty. We are not doing enough to get people out of poverty. Too much is spent making poor people slightly more comfortable, which is an impossible task. They need a way out of poverty. We don’t spend money on skilling people in their jobs to move away from poverty. Homelessness is mainly a class issue. People raised in poverty or in chaotic conditions are far more likely to end up without a home. Everyone getting a good education is vital. Successful people rarely create opportunities, but they do take them when they see them. BEST MOMENTS ‘We need to dismantle poverty and not simply keep the poor slightly more comfortable.’ ‘I had an absolute passion and belief in myself from the first go. ´ ‘Poverty is the driving force behind social dislocation.’ ‘Let´s get in there and create preventing businesses, that can prevent poverty.’ 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.

But I was brought up in an orphanage and served time in a young offenders' institution. During turbulent times, I also slept rough as one of London's homeless. Thinking back, I was very much a part of the problem.Early on, I realised that the only way to get out of the destructive circles into which I'd grown up was to give myself a hand up, rather than wait for others to give me a hand-out. Settling down in my twenties, I held down jobs in factories and, eventually, as a skilled printer. But I never forgot the hardship of my youth and the ways in which deprivation afflicts thousands of others in similar positions at the fringes of society.Twenty-nine years ago, using my experience of the print industry, I founded (the now world-famous) magazine, The Big Issue. The weekly street paper achieves its mass circulation by being sold on the streets by vendors who are homeless or vulnerably accommodated. The deal is simple: proceeds of each copy sold are split equally between the vendor and the publisher.Reflecting my own philosophy, the deprived and underprivileged are given a hand up through earning their money, rather than waiting for a hand-out which may do little more than trap them in the poverty they crave to escape. The Big Issue, alongside 110 similar magazines, is now published in 35 countries across the world, and always with the aim of helping those struggling for a break in society.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the power of social media and explains how to use it in a way that grows your brand. Up until a few years ago, Jeannette was very quiet on social media. Now, it is the main way her mentoring clients find her. She quickly walks you through what Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have to offer. Explaining what type of people use each platform and how they use them. As well as providing you with lots of effective content ideas for each of them. KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of people are wary of or cynical about social media. Even Jeannette was until she started using it to grow her business. Facebook still has a lot of reach. Instagram is huge. There are 995 photos uploaded every second. 60% of Instagrammers go there to buy. LinkedIn has 722 million members. You need an engaged audience, so use the platform where the type of people you want to reach hang out. Analyse your posts to see which ones do better than others. Engage with the comments, to boost your rating and learn from your customers. Come from the point of giving. Provide free advice and help. Don´t worry about finding inspiration for content. Just produce things that will genuinely help your audience. You can run polls, ask questions, comment on current news and more, so will never run out of content ideas. BEST MOMENTS ‘Sixty-one per cent of brands are planning to increase their advertising budget for Instagram. ´ ‘Home on the platform where you feel your tribe is hanging out.’ ‘Analyse the engagement that you have.’ 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 Andrea T Edwards who is known as The Digital Conversationalist. She is an author, public speaker, podcaster and a communications expert that, over the years, has helped many companies, including Microsoft, to improve the way they communicate. They discuss how to develop cultural intelligence so you can get the best out of people regardless of where they are from or how they were raised. How communicating in the digital world differs and how to use social media to genuinely connect rather than to broadcast what you have done or think. Andrea also explains how to become more resilient and be ready for the radical changes that the world is facing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Be humble and listen. Pay attention to non-verbal forms of communication. Trust is key. When their leaders genuinely own something, it is easy for them to get their employees to do the same. Work out what your focus is and who your audience is. Don't let trolls stop you from using social media. There are more good people in the world than bad. If all of them spoke up they would soon change the narrative. Bad things happen because people stay silent. Honour who you are and what you need to be happy. Strength comes from being in control of your heart and mind. How you respond to things. BEST MOMENTS ‘To work out how to get the best out of the people that you work with from different cultures requires really deep empathy and sensitivity. ´ ‘In the English language, we use about 5,000 words regularly, yet there are about 700,000 aspects of body language.’ ‘We need to stop being scared. We need to step into our voices and get the world on track.’ 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 explains how building your personal brand benefits you and your business. She clarifies what that means and shares a simple 6 step process anyone can use to create and nurture their own personal brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your brand identity is the glue that holds everything together. When you are your authentic self you build credibility and trust. Even within a big business, your personal brand shows up. Your values and beliefs are a huge part of your personal brand. Think about the way you behave, regardless of what you are doing. Align your business with your personal brand. Stand out from the crowd but do so in an authentic way that is genuine to you. People will judge you anyway, so you may as well be judged for being yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘The way you do anything is the way you do everything. ´ ‘Be clear on what you stand for, what you want and where you are heading.’ ‘If you think Virgin, you think Branson.’ 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 Bryan Clayton, the CEO and cofounder of GreenPal, an app that connects property owners with local lawn care professionals. Bryan is also the founder of Peachtree Inc; one of the USA’s biggest landscaping firms. He shares the story behind his two hugely successful businesses. How having a big vision, while still being able to focus on getting the vital day to day tasks done enabled him to grow fast. Bryan also talks about why entrepreneurs need to pay attention to their personal wellbeing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think of each stage of your business as a level in a video game. Focus on conquering the challenges at that particular level. At level one of your business journey, don’t worry about things like your culture and brand, focus on getting customers. You have to have a big vision. But, at the same time be prepared to knuckle down and do the necessary small scale tasks. It is not possible to keep your life in perfect balance during the early days of a new business. If your business gets a bit stuck, push on. It is a lot harder to start all over again than it is to keep going. If you think you may want to sell your business, build your company in a way that makes it as easy as possible to do. All entrepreneurs experience low points. Celebrating the small wins will help you to get through those periods. Small wins compound and soon turn into big wins. Focus on one or two things at a time. BEST MOMENTS ‘Get on YouTube University. ´ ‘I am my business, my business is me.’ ‘Do fewer things that don’t matter.’ 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 the benefits of having true accountability built into your business and personal life. Something she has found to be extremely helpful. She talks about how to be accountable yourself as well as how to use accountability to build a high-performing team. Then, shares a tool you can use to do exactly that. KEY TAKEAWAYS Making yourself accountable is essential. It has a huge impact on your team. Without accountability it does not really matter if you don´t get things done. At least it appears that way. Accountability is a core part of having a high-performing team. In the episode, Jeannette explains how to use a RACI to identify who should be doing what on your team. Using a RACI clears the fog away. Ensuring there is no replication of effort. The RACI ensures that people do not waste time and energy meddling in things for which they are not actually responsible. Having a mentor is an excellent way to hold yourself to account. BEST MOMENTS ‘Accountability has been one of the areas that has helped me to achieve the results that I have. ´ ‘Without accountability, there isn´t that push, that drive to get things done.’ ‘Get a trusted person in your network, that can hold you to account.’ 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 Jose Ucar, a global TEDx speaker, NLP coach, international business, marketing specialist and founder of Finding Excellence. As well as being the host of Speak to Sell Yourself And Your Business Show. They talk about public speaking, business, cultural diversity and much more. Jose also talks about how he learned to deal with being incredibly angry, most of the time. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are comfortable in your own skin that is reflected in the way you communicate. Communicating as yourself sets you free. To find your authentic self, you have to put yourself out there. Confidence is a muscle that you build. Every single person has bad moments during each day. When you speak, appeal to all of your audience´s senses. Jose explains what that means. There are 700,000 aspects of body language, so your body language matters. Connect with your audience through story-telling. Don´t overwhelm. The mind can usually only take 7 to 9 pieces of information. BEST MOMENTS ‘Communication starts within. I am comfortable in my own skin. ´ ‘Appeal to all of the senses (of your audience) and use storytelling.’ ‘I am very happy to ask for help.’ ‘Hold yourself accountable, take action, be consistent.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

If you do not feel that your team is performing at the absolute optimum, or you are struggling to build an effective team, this episode is very much for you. Having the right people in place and equipping them to perform at their absolute best is key to running a highly successful business. Jeannette explains what characteristics high-performing teams have. As well as the small signs that could signify that your team needs tweaking. Then, provides you with a 12-step process you can use to make this happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is not uncommon for business owners to think they have a high-performing team only to discover when they look at things in-depth, that it is actually failing in some ways. Be self-aware as a leader and honest about where you are. Having a clear vision that everyone buys into is essential. Automation and effective processes equip your team for success. You only need one person not to be a team player to hold everyone back. The principles for running a small team are the same as they are for running a large one. Use the nine-box matrix to identify rising stars and those that need help. Review your culture and get feedback. You can´t have high performance if you don´t try new things. Quarterly reviews enable you to see where you are, tweak and improve. BEST MOMENTS ‘Our people are the most important aspect of our business. They are its lifeblood. ´ ‘The relationship between your team members has to be absolutely watertight, open, honest and respectful.’ ‘Is your team working in an environment that stimulates creativity, energy, passion, and drive?’ ‘Have a mission up on the wall. It should be on the back of the loo door.’ 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 Lyndsey Thomas who is an award-winning tourism marketing & comms expert, multi-business owner and entrepreneur. She established a female-focused travel brand just before Co-Vid struck. But Lyndsey persevered and today, the brand is growing fast. She and Jeannette discuss how Lyndsey pivoted and turned what should have been a disaster into an opportunity. Including how she pulled together with others to get things done. They also talk about how she coped with postnatal depression and several other challenges she has faced lately. KEY TAKEAWAYS When times are tough, you have to pivot and find a new way to get things done. Appreciate the strength of the people that you have around you. The right support is paramount. You can use negativity to fuel yourself. Working on your mindset is crucial, it creates the resilience you need for entrepreneurship. Understand you and focus on what works for you. Social media is extremely powerful, but you need to be careful with it. Lyndsey shares a cautionary tale, in the episode. BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to have tenacity; you have to have focus and vision. ´ ‘The people around you are what make your business flourish.’ ‘You have to ignore the haters.’ 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 what your purpose in life is. What it is that drives you to succeed, your why. Understanding your why enables you to be crystal clear on what you want out of life. Jeannette shares two simple models anyone can use to uncover their purpose. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most people rarely pause from their busy lives to think about their why. If you do not know what you want you don´t know where you are heading, so never actually get there. The vision cascade model is a top-down approach. Identifying your values is a critical part of understanding your why. Only have 3 to 5 focus areas. If you don´t know how to start, use Jeannette´s 2nd reason why model. Don´t worry if you can´t identify your reason why immediately. You will be able to do it, over time. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are so focused on managing the day to day that we don´t always think about our reason why. ´ ‘What do you want to be written on your gravestone?’ ‘You can get really clear on your vision, your reason why using the top-down and the bottom-up approach.’ 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 Gerald Ratner who is now a highly sought-after speaker, an author and entrepreneur. In the eighties, he transformed the UK jewellery industry and took the US by storm. In 1991, the Ratner´s Group netted profits of £125 million, which would equate to almost a £billion, today. They talk about that journey, including how he lost it all when he made a joke when speaking to the Institute of Directors at the Royal Albert Hall, in 1991. Gerald also explains how he went about building multiple brands under one umbrella, including top-end shops and why he prefers to use the acquisition model to grow a business. As well as speaking about the mental health issues he suffered from and what he did to solve them. KEY TAKEAWAYS For two years, Ratner Group shares were the fastest-growing on the FTSE100. What you say in a speech needs to be carefully tailored to fit your audience, the type of event and the venue. When things go wrong there is always a silver lining. Pre-selling membership is a great acid test for a business idea. Acquiring businesses rather than starting from scratch brings many benefits. It is much easier to face the problems rather than hide from them. Exercise every day it helps you to balance your life out. Look after your staff, it’s the right thing to do, it is good business and creates great loyalty. You are not going to achieve anything by being a wallflower. The key to success is making smart decisions. BEST MOMENTS ‘In 7 years, we went from losing £34,000 to being the world´s largest jewellery business. ´ ‘One the advantages of being sacked is that I´ve now become a much better husband and father.’ ‘Happiness actually is about giving things to people not just taking things.’ EPISODE RESOURCES Gerald Ratner: The Rise and Fall and Rise Again - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gerald-Ratner-Rise-Fall-Again/dp/B07732GQTG Reinvent Yourself - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Reinvent-Yourself-Reinventing-Your-Successful-Opportunity/dp/1909846570/ Gerald Ratner´s full 1991 speech - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj9BZz71yQE This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

He observed that “the people who shouted the loudest and appeared to give the best offers sold the most”. Ratner joined the family business in 1966 and built up an extremely successful chain of jewellers during the '80s, of which he was chief executive. The shops shocked the formerly staid jewellery industry by displaying fluorescent orange posters advertising cut-price bargains, and by offering low price ranges. The Ratners Group consisted of Ratners, H. Samuel, Ernest Jones, Leslie Davis, Watches of Switzerland and over 1,000 shops in the US including Kays. Ratners was one of the few British retailers to succeed in the US. Gerald Ratner was, until 1991, one of the UK's most successful and well-known businessmen. Unfortunately, he went down in history when, at a corporate speaking engagement for the Institute of Directors, he jokingly described one of his non-jewellery products as “total crap” and compared another to an M&S prawn sandwich; suggesting the sandwich would last longer. Gerald Ratner was, until 1991, one of the UK's most successful and well-known businessmen. Unfortunately, he went down in history when, at a corporate speaking engagement for the Institute of Directors, he jokingly described one of his products as “total crap” and compared another to an M&S prawn sandwich; suggesting the sandwich would last longer. This, now infamous speech, spelt disaster for both Gerald and his company, Ratner Group, the world's largest jewellery retail company which included H Samuel and Ernest Jones, of which he was the Chairman and Chief Executive, However, Gerald's story of how he dealt with the aftermath and returned over a decade later to become, once again, a major player in the online retail sector is a remarkable journey of perseverance, passion, resilience, entrepreneurial skill and a remarkable lesson in overcoming crisis and adversity.

In this episode, Jeannette continues her talk with Fred Finn, the lawyer, entrepreneur, and public speaker that holds the Guinness World Record for being the person who travelled on Concorde the most. Unsurprisingly, he has many stories to tell about the plane and the many celebrities he travelled with on Concorde. Fred talks about Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and many others. He shares more travel tips. Including how to stop Delhi Belly in its tracks. In this episode, Fred also digs a little deeper into some of the life lessons he has learned during his long and adventurous life. He talks about the things that have helped him to weather adversity, stay cool in dangerous situations, recover from losing everything and enjoy several successful careers, working in different sectors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone takes wrong turns in life. But we can all recover from our mistakes and come back stronger. Even if you lose all of your worldly goods, you still have your skills, so you can still come back from that. Having the right attitude protects you from all sorts of stress and pain. Don´t let yourself be bullied. Talent shines through. You can tell when a waiter or receptionist is going to have a great career. Whenever you go can take a few moments to encourage others. The airline industry has got to overcome its greed. Fred explains what he means by that in the episode. Talking to your customers who actually use your service is critical. Fred explains how airlines like BA have tapped into his travel experience. BEST MOMENTS ‘The first time I met her (Dolly Parton)…. She told me naughty jokes for nine hours. ´ ‘If you make a wrong turn, you can make it a right turn. You can pick yourself up ‘You can make friends and relationships wherever you go.’ ‘Don´t let the bastards grind you down.’ 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 shares a really simple formula for success. One that you can apply to your life, your business, or your career. She starts by sharing the three simple things everyone needs for success. Then, provides several easy strategies you can use to follow that winning formula. KEY TAKEAWAYS Believing in yourself is essential. It is OK to have gaps in your knowledge. You can fill those gaps. Learn something every day. Get clear on your purpose, and what you want. Brainstorm to reveal to yourself what that is. If you don´t take action nothing is going to change. Write a plan. Then, work that plan. Sometimes moving backwards or sideways is OK. It happens to all of us. Taking action in the moment gives you momentum. BEST MOMENTS ‘The formula for success boils down to three aspects. ´ ‘Just brainstorm all of the things that you want in life.’ ‘If we don´t take action, every single day then we’re just kidding ourselves.’ 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 Nancy Allen who runs a 7-figure property portfolio, while also working part-time as a GP. In the episode, she explains how suddenly falling sick caused her to re-evaluate her life and decide to become a property entrepreneur. Nancy talks about how she built a serviced accommodation. Before, getting into property development. Nancy shares some of the lessons she learned on the way. Including, practical tips for entrepreneurs. As well as talking about how she now stays physically, mentally, and emotionally fit, which supercharges her ability to perform and get what she wants from life for her and her family. KEY TAKEAWAYS Always be learning. You can learn to do most things. Guard your credit rating. Being able to quickly raise affordable financing is invaluable. Don´t undervalue yourself or your services. There is nothing wrong with making a fair profit. If you offer something extra, shout about it in your marketing. If you have doubts, go with your gut feeling. Look after yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Actively switching off your body and mind really does reset you. It is important to have goals, but ones that fit in with true work/life balance. Accept change and embrace it. Hire the right professionals, they are part of your team. Without them, there is no success. Do your due diligence when hiring people and use recommendations when possible. There are only 24 hours, hire the right help, you can´t do everything yourself. Property development transforms lives, it builds communities. Start small, succeed, then set bigger goals, and take things to the next level. When buying property, visit it personally and do so at different times of the day. BEST MOMENTS ‘I thought, I have no recurring income. If I can´t work, I´m lost…all of my eggs were in one basket, my profession. ´ ‘Always guard your credit rating.’ ‘We all have the ability to create the life we want.’ ‘Employ the best people to get you to where you want to go.’ This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to achieve in your business, career, and life.

At that stage of her life, she was working incredibly long hours, while looking after a young family. The stress eventually led to her burning out and ending up in a hospital bed. That shocking experience led to her recalibrating and becoming an entrepreneur. She taught herself how to make money from property. Starting out by using the Buy to Let (BTL) model. Nancy later added Serviced Accommodation (SA) to the mix. That business took off, but Nancy wanted a fresh challenge, so began developing and creating new homes. In under 5 years, Nancy went from zero to owning a 7-figure property portfolio. Today, she runs that business alongside her experienced team, which has freed her up to work as a GP once again.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why having financial clarity for your business is so important. She explains why you might need to raise finance, what you need to consider when doing it and how to go about doing so. Jeannette is not a financial advisor, but, over the years she has successfully secured finance for several of her businesses. The advice she gives is grounded in experience, practical, and quite easy to use. If you want to gain an insight into leveraging your assets, crowdsourcing, raising money through shares, investor capital, and much more, just listen to the episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most businesses need to raise capital at some stage. When you are scaling, day-to-day costs tend to accelerate. You may need cash to cover the cost or materials to fulfill an order for a new customer. Before you start to grow, think about how you are going to raise capital. Be clear about what you will use it for and how much you need. Think about how long you need the finance for. Be wary of giving away too much equity, too soon. Personal or business assets can be good sources of internal finance. Many people forget to consider using the overdraft facility on their business bank accounts. There are pros and cons of raising finance using shares. Jeannette covers some of them, in the podcast. Crowdfunding can be tricky, but it can also double up as a form of market research. BEST MOMENTS ‘In order to expand and grow, you might need finance to support the day-to-day running costs. ´ ‘Start with the end in mind.’ ‘Crowdsourcing involves a large number of people investing smaller amounts into 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 to Jamie Waller who is a serial entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, and much more. He talks about how he shook up the debt enforcement sector. Jamie and Jeannette speak about why and how he wrote his book Unsexy Business which celebrates under-rated businesses. Ones that are essential and successful, but not appreciated. They also discuss how to overcome the lack of social mobility in the UK. As well as how he managed being betrayed in business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The debt enforcement business model is sound, yet many people do not view it positively. In the UK, the debt enforcement business has changed drastically, yet its reputation has still not been transformed. There are lots of unsexy businesses out there that are essential and successful yet are not appreciated. A lack of social mobility is still an issue in the UK. The Princes Trust really works. It is a great place for young people to learn how to start a business. In the UK, people still react negatively when people are successful in business. Be honest with yourself and clear about what your purpose is. Your purpose evolves over time. Retiring at the wrong time in your life leaves you purposeless. Put your best self forward, at all times. BEST MOMENTS ‘There are businesses that are brilliant and just because they’re not shiny on the outside they are not respected.’ ‘Everybody has the right to be paid what they are owed, but not at any cost.’ ‘I’m not going to carry a grudge around.’ 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.
