Jeannette tackles the often daunting topic of public speaking, exploring the common fears and blockers that many individuals face when it comes to sharing their message with the world, and emphasising the importance of mindset and preparation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your mindset is crucial when it comes to public speaking. Believing in your ability to deliver a message can significantly impact your performance. Remember the quote: "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right."
Being organised and well-prepared is essential. This includes knowing your topic, practicing your speech, and ensuring all technical aspects (like audio and slides) are in order before you take the stage.
Consistent practice helps build confidence. It's important to rehearse your speech multiple times, ideally in front of a mirror or with a trusted friend, to become comfortable with the material and delivery.
Perfection is not the goal; being authentic and human can resonate more with your audience. Accept that nerves are normal and can be channeled positively to enhance your delivery.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you actually do put yourself out to the world and you have a message to share, you can do so much good."

"Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right."

"If you have a message to share with the world, then there is no better way to do that than to actually put yourself out there."

"Recognise the fact you stood up there on a stage, you delivered a message, that in itself is a huge achievement."

"Feedback is the breakfast of champions. That's how we improve. It's how we grow."

Jeannette talks to the marvellous Suzy Welch, a renowned professor of management at NYU School of Business and a celebrated author, to delve into the complexities of personal and professional reinvention.

Suzy shares her unique journey from a creative upbringing in a family of artists to her successful career in business journalism and consulting, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped her path. She also candidly discusses the challenges of resilience, particularly in the face of loss, and emphasises the importance of forgiveness as a crucial step towards recovery

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life often involves unexpected twists and turns, and what may seem like survival in the moment can later be recognised as a process of reinvention and growth.
Resilience is not about having grit when you're down; it's about forgiveness—both of yourself and others. True resilience comes from a place of strength, and it requires inner work to move past feelings of weakness and shame.
Open and honest communication is crucial in both personal and professional relationships. Speaking the truth, even when it's difficult, fosters respect and can lead to stronger connections.
Identifying your values, aptitudes, and interests is essential for discovering your purpose. The intersection of these elements can guide you toward a fulfilling life and help you make decisions that align with your true self.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think there's no straight lines in most people's lives. I grew up in a family... business was just not part of our life at all."

"Resilience is something we have when we're strong. We're at the top of our game... but when you're on your back, all you feel is weak."

"It's an act of respect and love to tell the truth. Everyone always prefers the hard truth to a soft lie."

"I had to learn that when you're really suffering and really weak, the only way you can get resilience in yourself is to start with a step that I think is just always left out, which is forgiveness."

Jeannette talks about the essential balance of leading with both authority and empathy, emphasising the importance of creating a positive work environment where teams feel engaged and motivated to drive business results. Jeannette uses the metaphor of a helicopter to illustrate the need for leaders to navigate between strategic oversight and hands-on involvement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Effective leadership requires a combination of authority and empathy. Leaders should be able to make strategic decisions while also being approachable and understanding of their team's needs.
Authority comes from having the necessary experience, knowledge, and clarity of purpose. Leaders should ensure their teams understand their roles and responsibilities, and set clear objectives and KPIs to measure success.
Authentic leadership involves showing vulnerability and being open about not having all the answers. Sharing personal experiences can foster a more relatable and empathetic leadership style.
Understanding and connecting with team members on an emotional level is crucial. Leaders should seek feedback to improve their emotional intelligence and ensure they are listening and responding to their team's needs.

BEST MOMENTS

"As a leader, you want to get the most out of your teams. You want them to feel happy to come to work, engage with what you're doing, drive the results of the business."

"Being vulnerable also means showing a part of yourself that shows you're human. That really encourages the empathy side of things."

"When you lead with authority, you do not shy away from decisions. You make the decisions."

"Thinking the best of someone first, not thinking the worst, is empathetic. You're giving people a chance."

Jeannette talks to Mike “C-Roc” Ciorrocco, founder of That One Agency and host of the podcast What Are You Made Of. Mike shares his inspiring journey from a challenging childhood marked by brokenness and adversity to becoming a successful entrepreneur with a massive social media following. He also discusses the importance of networking, self-belief, and the power of intention in achieving success

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Setting a clear intention in life directs your attention towards achieving your goals. By focusing on positive outcomes, you can create a reality that aligns with your aspirations.
Building a strong network is crucial for success. Engaging with others and forming genuine connections can lead to opportunities and collaborations that enhance personal and professional growth.
Sharing personal stories and experiences, including struggles and setbacks, can foster deeper connections with others and inspire them to overcome their own challenges.
Practicing gratitude and being present in the moment can shift your focus from what you lack to appreciating what you have, leading to a more fulfilling life.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you're telling yourself that you have to be this way, which is a negative thing, and then you live it out, you probably could do it the other way too."

"When things happen in your life, you are causing and creating those things with your thoughts, words, actions, emotions, the people you keep around you."

"I think sometimes we push too much. And actually, if we just stop and let things come to us, we can attract things."

"You can be in chase mode or attraction mode. My whole life, I was chasing... I don't want to chase anymore."

Jeannette shares her insights on the journey of quitting a corporate job to become your own boss. Drawing from her extensive experience as a CEO in the global travel industry, she discusses the allure and challenges of entrepreneurship, and outlines three approaches to making the leap: having a clear plan, responding to unexpected circumstances, or starting a side hustle

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are three main ways to transition from a corporate job to entrepreneurship: having a clear plan with a deadline, responding to unexpected circumstances like redundancy, or starting a side hustle to test the waters.
Before making the leap, assess your personal finances to ensure you have enough savings to cover your essential expenses for at least six months. This will allow you to focus on building your business without the stress of immediate financial pressure.
Surround yourself with supportive individuals, including mentors or coaches who have experience in entrepreneurship. Their guidance can be invaluable during challenging times.
Entrepreneurship involves risks and potential failures. It's crucial to develop a thick skin and be prepared for setbacks, as they are a natural part of the journey.

BEST MOMENTS

"It sounds incredibly glamorous to quit your job, become your own boss, but it isn’t for everyone."

"You are not going to be making profit normally straight away. If you are, I mean, amazing, fantastic. But be prepared for that."

"You need to make sure that you’ve got something there, you’ve got a bit of a rainy day fund in the event that it takes a while for this business to get off the ground."

"Entrepreneurs fail all the time. They take risks, and setting up your own business involves taking risks."

"If this isn’t a dream that you’ve had to leave your job and become your own boss, give it a go."

This episode incorporates the inspiring speech that Jeannette delivered as a key note at the recent Balance the Board annual conference in London, along with insights from Holly Addison Co-Founder of Balance the Board and interviews with Paul Holbrook Founder of Diary Detox, Juliett Cattermole Chief People Officer at David Lloyd Leisure and Ann-marie Murphy Group Chief People Officer at SSP Group.

It's all about focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion to accelerate change and make the world of business a better place with opportunities for all. This combined with Jeannette's framework of Brave Bold Brilliant makes for an inspiring listen.

Balance the Board was created by two of the founders of Plan B Mentoring – a not-for -profit mentoring platform launched in 2017 to help women progress to senior leadership and board level. Its aim was simple; to encourage women to believe in themselves and their ability to contribute at the most senior levels, to the success of their organisations, through advice and support from objective mentors.

Balance the Board goes beyond gender diversity, supporting and embracing all under-represented communities, encouraging greater balance on boards and championing more inclusive cultures.

Today, Balance the Board runs a number of mentoring programs, hosts regular events and webinars with the mission to equip talented individuals from all dimensions of diversity to be the best they can be, through empowerment, learning and challenge, by creating a network that will mentor and support the next generation of inclusive leaders.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The framework emphasises the importance of self-leadership (brave), leading the business with clarity and purpose (bold), and fostering strong, inclusive teams (brilliant) to drive success and create a positive impact.
Achieving true inclusion requires more than good intentions; it demands action, commitment, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. Organisations should focus on creating diverse teams that reflect the communities they serve.
Being authentic and bringing your full self to work is crucial for effective leadership. This authenticity helps in building diverse and inclusive teams where everyone feels valued and empowered.
Continuous training and open, honest conversations about diversity and inclusion are essential for fostering a culture of belonging. Organisations should not rely solely on initiatives but engage in meaningful dialogue to address DEI challenges.

BEST MOMENTS

"It's through using my Brave Bold Brilliant framework that helps these businesses scale up and be the best in the industry."

"I think a lot of organisations try and create change programs, but it should be more about hiring the right people who have love at their core."

"We are setting up inclusion resource groups, which have been hugely successful already for us."

"It's about showing people earlier on in their career that this is possible and helping them again to have the confidence to develop their aspirations."

"It is by being brave and bold that you're going to unlock your brilliant."

Jeannette shares invaluable insights for those stepping into their first board position or aspiring to do so in the near future. Drawing from personal experiences as a former CEO and executive director, she discusses the importance of adopting a dual perspective—managing both individual responsibilities and the broader organisational strategy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

As a board member, you must balance running your specific area of the business while also contributing to the overall strategy and growth of the organization. This requires a shift in perspective to a more holistic view.
Transitioning to an executive role involves engaging with a different set of stakeholders, including board members, external investors, and regulatory bodies. Understanding these relationships is crucial for effective networking and representation.
Directors have legal obligations and must ensure proper governance practices are in place. This includes managing risks and ensuring that all stakeholders are fairly represented.
Successful executive leadership involves balancing purpose, profit, people, and planet. This holistic approach is essential for aligning business strategies with sustainability and social responsibility, particularly in the context of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you become a board member, it's really important to remember that you almost start to wear two hats."

"Governance becomes a much bigger piece, that robustness, that clarity, essentially ensuring that all those stakeholders are fairly represented."

"The four P's—purpose, profit, people, and planet—working in harmony is really what makes a great business."

"These big corporate roles are stressful. Executive burnout and stress come partly with the territory."

Jeannette talks to the fabulous Captain Sandy Yawn, renowned for her leadership on super yachts and her role on the reality show "Below Deck."

Sandy shares her remarkable journey from a troubled childhood marked by addiction to becoming a trusted yacht captain, emphasising the importance of personal growth and accountability. She discusses the evolution of the super yacht industry, the challenges of maintaining a high-performing crew under pressure, and the significance of mental health and self-care

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The journey from a troubled past to a successful career in yachting highlights the importance of personal transformation. Embracing change and being open to new opportunities can lead to unexpected and rewarding paths.
Building trust is crucial in leadership roles. Being entrusted with significant responsibilities, such as managing a yacht, can be a powerful motivator for personal growth and accountability.
Prioritising mental health through practices like music, gratitude, and affirmations is essential. Taking time off and setting boundaries helps maintain balance and prevents burnout.
Effective leadership involves treating team members with respect and kindness. Creating an environment where individuals feel valued and understood fosters loyalty and high performance.

BEST MOMENTS

"When I was asked a question, I told the truth. If I didn't know anything about it, I heard an old boss of mine that he said, I don't know, take 15 minutes and educate me."

"Pressure makes us better. And I use this analogy, if you're playing pool, and you play someone who's your equal, will you get better and improve your game? Probably not."

"I always say to Bravo, you cast here, my expectations here. I can't bring them here, but I can bring them here."

Jeannette looks at the importance of starting your day with intention and purpose, introducing the concept of a "Miracle Morning." Drawing inspiration from Hal Elrod's book, she shares a personalised morning routine encapsulated in the acronym SAVERS: Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

How you start your morning sets the tone for the entire day, influencing your energy, mindset, and overall results.
SAVERS Acronym: A structured morning routine can be built around the acronym SAVERS, which stands for Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing. Each component contributes to personal growth and well-being.
It's essential to find a morning routine that works for you personally, as everyone's energy levels and preferences differ. Tailor the routine to fit your lifestyle and commitments.
Incorporating exercise into your morning routine is crucial for both physical and mental health, helping to boost energy levels and reduce stress.

BEST MOMENTS

"So win the morning, win the day, and when you win the day... You win the week, and when you win the week, you win the month, and when you win the month, you win the year."

"Routine equals results. So, if you are consistent and you have great habits... then you're going to achieve better results overall."

"It's very difficult to be upset and negative and feel grateful at the same time. So immediately you're in that mindset of joy and happiness."

"When you say things out loud, it feels real. And when you're actually doing that, it becomes almost like a mantra."

"It would be a crime to live a life less than you're capable of. And every single one of you has got greatness in you."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Jeannette talks to industry legend, Steve Barrass, the CEO of Vibe Travel Systems, who shares insights from his extensive 30-plus year career in the travel sector.

They focus on the importance of personal and professional values, the challenges of maintaining integrity in the corporate world, and the impact of family support on career success. Steve reflects on pivotal moments in his career, including a significant decision to uphold his values during a job loss and the lessons learned from navigating the challenges of the pandemic.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Upholding personal values such as honesty, integrity, and hard work is crucial in both personal and professional settings. Compromising these values can lead to regret and dissatisfaction.
The pandemic highlighted the need for resilience in business. Leaders must adapt quickly, maintain clarity, and support their teams through challenging times, ensuring open communication and motivation even when employees are furloughed.
Both successes and failures provide valuable lessons. Observing how others handle situations—whether well or poorly—can inform one's own leadership style and decision-making processes.
Building strong relationships with colleagues, suppliers, and stakeholders is essential. These connections can provide crucial support during difficult times and contribute to a collaborative work environment.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think it's very, very important that people don't compromise on those personal values. Because you just let yourself down, I think."

"I often think that when we are doing these big jobs, we don't really give our partners credit as much externally."

"I think their identity is so wrapped up into the role and the title, and the bells and the whistles, and the ego."

"I've learned more about how to do things by seeing people not do them very well."

Jeannette talks to Julia Simpson, the president and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Julia shares her unique journey to her current role, highlighting her extensive experience in both government and the corporate sector, including her time as an advisor to former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

They also talk about the importance of understanding the interplay between government and business, especially in the volatile travel and tourism industry.

Together in Travel Pre-registration form: https://form.typeform.com/to/eVF3u89X

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Resilience is crucial in both government and corporate sectors, as leaders often face numerous challenges and setbacks. Embracing failures and learning from them can lead to stronger leadership.
Understanding the dynamics between government and the private sector is essential for effective advocacy in travel and tourism. Leaders must navigate the differing timeframes and priorities of both sectors to create meaningful partnerships.
The travel and tourism industry must leverage data and AI to enhance operations and customer experiences. Leaders should take ownership of AI initiatives to drive innovation and efficiency within their organisations.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are vital to the travel and tourism sector, representing 80% of the industry. Initiatives like "Together in Travel" aim to amplify their voices and provide resources for growth and resilience.
As the travel and tourism sector grows, it is essential to prioritise sustainability and responsible growth. Leaders should advocate for practices that protect the environment and support local communities, ensuring a positive impact on society.

BEST MOMENTS

"You have to make your luck, you have to push a lot of doors, but then suddenly one will flip open and it's not always the one you're expecting."

"I think one of my expertise is, if you like, is dealing with crisis... you never quite know how you're going to deal with crisis until you're in it for the first time."

"Travel and tourism represents one in 10 jobs that are created on this planet... we're also one of the biggest employers of women."

"It's really important that the big boys and girls really support that, and it's also where a lot of the young innovations are coming from."

Jeannette shares a powerful formula for success that applies to various aspects of life, including business, career, and personal relationships. The formula consists of three key components: belief, purpose, and action, which together lead to meaningful results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Success is achieved through the formula: Belief + Purpose + Action = Results. Each component is essential for achieving desired outcomes in business and personal life.
Self-belief is crucial. If you don't believe in yourself and your capabilities, it will be challenging for others to believe in you. Regularly remind yourself of your achievements to strengthen your self-belief.
Having a clear purpose and understanding your "why" is vital for staying on track. Take time to reflect on your goals and the legacy you want to leave, as this clarity will guide your actions.
Massive action is necessary to achieve results. Incremental improvements and consistent efforts, even if they don't always lead to immediate results, contribute to long-term success.
Regularly evaluate your belief, purpose, and actions. If you're not achieving the results you want, check if your belief is strong enough, if your purpose is clear, and if you're taking the right actions aligned with your goals

BEST MOMENTS

"Belief plus purpose plus action equals results. Let me say it again. Belief plus purpose plus action equals results."

"If we don't believe in ourselves, if we don't believe in what we're doing, then how can anyone else believe in you?"

"Having a clear vision for where you wanna go, knowing your reason why, is absolutely critical because it will keep you on track."

"There is no point in playing small in this life. Live a life that you have got the capability to do, not less."

Authenticity is crucial for successful leadership. Being true to oneself and leading in a way that aligns with personal values fosters trust and engagement within teams.

"I never thought that 10 men in the boardroom is equal as bad as 10 women in the boardroom."

"Profit is not a dirty word. If we don't make profit, we don't have a business and we don't have people employed."

Jeannette talks to Amanda Teale, the CEO and founder of Minerva Private Travel and Lifestyle Management. They delve into Amanda's inspiring journey from her early fascination with travel to establishing a successful luxury travel business.

Amanda shares her unique approach to client service, emphasising the importance of personalised experiences and seamless journeys, which set her apart in the competitive travel industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Minerva Private Travel emphasises a highly personalised service, focusing on the entire journey of the client, from pre-departure communication to seamless transitions at airports.
The business model relies on referrals and recommendations rather than traditional advertising, which has proven to be a successful long-term strategy for building a loyal client base.
Challenges such as the aftermath of 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the volatility of the travel industry. Adapting to these challenges, including diversifying services and maintaining a positive mindset, is crucial for survival and growth.
Building a strong team and delegating tasks is essential for efficiency. Investing in the right people allows for a focus on core business activities, leading to better overall performance.

BEST MOMENTS

"What I do differently is I actually put quite a lot of emphasis on the journey. Our drivers message them 48 hours before they leave home; that's where their journey starts for us."

"The travel industry is the most volatile industry in the world... It only takes one person to say something, and they're like, 'Oh, I'm going now, cancel.'"

"The term luxury is an interesting one. I think it's overused, in my opinion."

"You have to be humble in hard times... If things got bad again, I'd have to do the same. And I would be prepared to do that."

Jeannette talks about the debate surrounding the optimal working week schedule, comparing the recent introduction of a six-day working week in Greece to the trend of trialling four-day working weeks in various countries. Jeannette explores the reasons behind Greece's decision to implement a six-day working week, citing economic challenges and ambitions for increased productivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The debate between a four-day working week and a six-day working week is a hot topic globally, with different countries and companies experimenting with various schedules.
Greece recently introduced a voluntary six-day working week, offering a 40% increase in salary for the extra day worked, aiming to boost economic productivity.
The introduction of the six-day working week in Greece has sparked controversy, with concerns about employee well-being, consultation, and potential impact on productivity.
On the other hand, many countries have been trialling four-day working weeks, with some companies making it a permanent change due to benefits like improved work-life balance and productivity gains.

BEST MOMENTS

"Greece has actually announced that they are introducing a six-day working week which is quite controversial given that this is quite a different approach to a lot of the other countries that we see around the world."

"So financially, there is clearly a benefit to the employees that take up the six-day working week."

"Some of the benefits of the four-day working week are that it allows for a better life work balance for employees."

"Life has changed since COVID, right? And that forced us to work more creatively in a very different way than we ever have done before."

Jeannette is joined by the legend himself, Alan Curtis MBE, former Wales international football player, and current honorary club president of Swansea, to discuss insights into receiving an MBE, his early days in football, experiences at various clubs like Swansea, Leeds, Southampton, and Cardiff, and the changes in football over the years.

Alan also reflects on the challenges and highlights of his career, including injuries, club transitions, and the psychological aspects of sports, as well as the life lessons he's taken from the beautiful game, and on into all corners of life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Alan had a stellar football career, playing for various clubs and experiencing the changes in the game over the years.
The transition from playing for Leeds to Cardiff was challenging due to the intense rivalry between the two clubs, leading to a mixed reception from fans.
The importance of mindset and mental health in sports was evident, with players facing self-doubts and pressure before games.
The story of Alan's uncle, Roy Paul, winning the FA Cup with Manchester City in 1956 after losing in 1955, showcases the determination and prediction of a victory.
The evolution of football tactics and the emphasis on possession in modern football contrast with the more straightforward and aggressive style of play in the past.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the players certainly are much more tactically aware as well now... It's much more tactical. It's almost like a game of chess now."

"I think everybody, every player goes through a doubt just before they go out... all the self-doubts that he had, and, oh, I've got a little bit of a niggle there now."

"I think sometimes I always feel that somebody's looking down and looking after me in key moments... I think that probably would have all disappeared."

"I remember the first time I played for Cardiff... I got booed by both sets of supporters. Wow. Talking about character building!"

ABOUT THE GUEST

Alan Thomas Curtis MBE (born 16 April 1954) is a former Wales international footballer, who played as a forward; he is currently the honorary club president of Swansea City.

He began his career with Swansea City in 1972, and spent the next seven years with the "Swans", winning promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1977–78 and out of the Third Division in 1978–79. He was then sold on to Leeds United, but struggled in the First Division and was sold back to Swansea in 1980. He helped Swansea to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1980–81, but a period of decline for the club followed and he moved on to Southampton in November 1983. He played on loan at Stoke City towards the end of the 1985–86 season, before he joined Cardiff City in the summer. He helped the "Bluebirds" to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1987–88 and to also win the Welsh Cup in 1988. He made another return to Swansea during the 1989–90 campaign, and later ended his career with Barry Town, winning the Welsh Cup in 1994.

During his career he also represented Wales, scoring six goals in 35 international games. After retiring as a player he spent many years on the backroom staff at Swansea City, and has had several spells as a caretaker-manager.

Jeannette talks about the concept of "quiet vacationing," a trend that has emerged as a subtle way for individuals to take time off without formally booking annual leave.

She explores the pros and cons of quiet vacationing, discussing how it can be a beneficial approach to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but also highlighting the potential drawbacks of not fully disconnecting from work

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Quiet vacationing is a growing trend where individuals take time off without formally booking annual leave.
Pros and cons of quiet vacationing include the ability to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but the risk of not fully recuperating if work continues during the time off.
Leaders should ensure clear communication of holiday entitlements, encourage unplugging, monitor workload issues, and prioritise employee wellness.
Consistency in allowing time off and adhering to legal obligations is crucial for fostering a healthy work environment.
Setting the tone as a leader by practicing what you preach regarding taking breaks and promoting work-life balance is essential for the team's well-being.

BEST MOMENTS

"Taking that approach can be a great way to just recharge, take a little bit of time, you know, etc."

"But the reality is, if you're not taking a break, then you're at risk of burnout, right?"

"So be flexible. Very often, people want more flexibility these days."

"I think a focus on wellness is absolutely critical for your teams."

Jeannette discusses the concept of "quiet quitting," where employees disengage and perform only the minimum requirements for their job. She discusses the characteristics and causes of quiet quitting, citing statistics from a Gallup poll on employee engagement, and what we can do about it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Quiet quitting refers to employees who are only doing the bare minimum required for their job, lacking enthusiasm and engagement.
Quiet quitting can lead to decreased productivity, poor team dynamics, and ultimately affect the overall success of the business.
Factors such as burnout, lack of recognition, unclear expectations, and poor management can contribute to quiet quitting among employees.
Implementing an engaging work culture, clarifying expectations, offering fair compensation, and creating an employee engagement strategy can help combat quiet quitting.
Leaders should assess their own leadership style and make necessary adjustments to inspire and empower their teams effectively.

BEST MOMENTS

"Only 10% of employees feel engaged. So that therefore means that a staggering 90% of employees are therefore not engaged."

"40% of employees in the UK were found to be experiencing daily stress, 27% reported feeling daily sadness, 20% reported feeling daily anger."

"Gen Z's quiet quitting. 47% of Gen Z's said that they were coasting along in their career, and 40% said they're thriving."

"Leadership is really around inspiring your teams, providing the vision, the focus, making those difficult investment choices, setting the strategy, and really empowering your teams to excel in whatever their roles are."

Jeannette discusses the importance of creating a culture of collaboration within large organisations, outlining eight key ways to build a collaborative culture, ranging from executive support and creating the right environment, to modelling collaborative behaviour and fostering a sense of community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Creating a culture of collaboration is crucial for maximising skills, resources, and experience within an organisation.
As organisations grow larger, collaboration becomes more challenging due to scale, diversity, virtual teams, and highly skilled individuals.
Eight ways to build a culture of collaboration include executive support, creating the right environment, modelling collaborative behaviour, fostering a gift culture, implementing HR practices, ensuring requisite skills, supporting a sense of community, and having the right team leaders and structure.
Executive support sets the tone for collaboration throughout the organisation.
HR practices should include rewarding and recognizing collaborative efforts to encourage teamwork.

BEST MOMENTS

"A culture of collaboration is absolutely critical because when people collaborate, then they bring their best to the team and you're able to really maximise the skills, the resources and the experience that you have."

"Those are the four characteristics that make a large organisation successful, but also they're the four reasons why collaboration can be harder."

"Are you demonstrating collaboration in the way that you are conducting yourself at work? So, you know, very often all eyes are on the boss."

"So as organisations grow, as they get bigger, become more diverse, maybe more virtual, different offices, etc. This can become harder."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Darrell Wade

A backpacker with a vision, Darrell co-founded Intrepid with his mate Geoff ‘Manch’ Manchester in 1989. Their vision was simple: to offer a new style of low-impact travel that connected travellers with communities. Today, Darrell is regarded as one of travel’s most influential leaders and he plays an instrumental role in advancing the industry's sustainability agenda through his activism and philanthropy, and also serves as Chair of the Intrepid Foundation. He is the former vice chair of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) and former chair of Travalyst, an initiative established by the Duke of Sussex to increase travel industry sustainability. He is best known, however, for being “the tall guy with the big laugh.”

Darrell's favourite Intrepid trip is Jakarta to Ubud, which was inspired by his very own overland route taken while backpacking from Australia to England.

For the dyslexic thinkers who are having a positive impact on the world.

Jeannette talks once more to Jamie Waller, a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, who's here to discuss his new book, "The Dyslexic Edge," which challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research to demonstrate quite the opposite.

The book is inspired by Jamie's conversation with Richard Branson on Necker Island. It explores the experiences of dyslexic individuals in various industries, featuring Cliff Weitzman (Speechify), Sir Charles Dunstone (Carphone Warehouse And Five Guys Europe), Paul Orfalea (Kinko Print), Kelly Hoppen (Kelly Hoppen Design), Wilfred Emmanual-Jones (The Black Farmer), Edward Keelan (Octopus Investments), Matt Kennedy (Fussy), Nigel Cabourn (The Army Gym), Phillipa Armitage-Mattin (Chefphlli), Theo Paphitis (Ryman'S), Richard White (Pickles), Duncan Bannatyne (Bannatyne'S Health Clubs), Kate Griggs (Made By Dyslexia)

In this episode, Jamie shares personal anecdotes and insights from his interviews with inspiring business leaders, including Sir Richard Branson. He also talks about the misconceptions surrounding dyslexia, highlighting the unique strengths and challenges faced by dyslexic individuals

Jamie's book will be released on the 12th of September. You can pre-order now from this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dyslexic-Edge-Unleash-Thinking-Differently/dp/1916797423

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The book "The Dyslexic Edge" was inspired by a conversation with Richard Branson about dyslexia and the need for case study-led material on the subject.
Dyslexia is not just a disability but a trait of being an explorer, with unique ways of learning and thinking that can be beneficial in various aspects of life.
The book features personal anecdotes and stories from individuals with dyslexia, showcasing the challenges and triumphs they have experienced.
It's important to change the narrative around dyslexia from being seen as a deficit to being accepted as a norm in society.
Embracing dyslexia and being open about it can lead to greater self-acceptance and understanding, allowing individuals to thrive in their unique ways of thinking and learning.

BEST MOMENTS

"I was born not too far from where we're sat today in East London, in Bethnal Green. I'd like to say I was born with dyslexia, ADHD, colorblind, and poor."

"I don't see work as a chore."

"I want every dyslexic that is born to understand that they are not born with a disability."

Jeannette talks to Jesse Tayler, an inventor, lifelong startup entrepreneur and founder of TruAnon, about his experience with creating the App Store and pitching it to Steve Jobs.

Jesse reflects on the challenges faced during the early days of electronic distribution and the importance of perseverance in the face of scepticism. He delves into the impact of AI on businesses, sharing practical advice on integrating language models into software development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The importance of timing is crucial, as well as the need to adapt and evolve ideas over time to fit changing circumstances.
We must listen to one's inner self and trust one's instincts as a valuable tool in decision-making and pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours.
The concept of failure as a learning opportunity shouldn’t be discounted. In Jesse’s case they have contributed to his growth and success.
The lasting impact of Jesse’s inventions, such as the App Store, is acknowledged, showcasing how even perceived failures can lead to significant contributions to the tech industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the critical driver is really a desire to change the world in a way that matters. And it doesn't have to be an idea that comes from me."

“The capacity of that language model to help you create, perhaps not to give you any intention, to perhaps not to give you advice, you know, that makes sense in the larger application design."

"I don't know where the passion comes from, but without it, you're not going to be able to get that over the hump. It is too scary and it is too difficult."

"Well, it was a failure, but it wasn't a failure because now all these years later, what you started back then is now part and parcel of everyday life."

Jeannette talks to Tricia Brouk, an award-winning director, author, producer, and founder of the Big Talk Academy. Tricia shares valuable insights on public speaking, personal branding, and utilising social media effectively. She emphasises the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and consistency in building a personal brand, with her invaluable insights being grounded in her experience of helping thought leaders and speakers find their voice and share their stories authentically.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Tricia highlights the five-part structure for crafting a compelling speech: identifying a problem, introducing new ideas, painting a picture, telling a story, and providing a solution with a call to action. This structure helps speakers engage their audience effectively.
By gradually increasing pressure levels, individuals can learn to coexist with their physiological responses and deliver impactful speeches.
Speakers need to share from a place of authenticity and vulnerability, allowing for deeper connections and impactful storytelling.
By staying consistent, aligned with values, and offering value consistently, speakers can shape a strong personal brand that resonates with their audience.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you are listening to this and you're on the fence about social media, just be yourself and be consistent and you will attract the right people."

"Personal brand is, like you said, extremely important. And when it comes to shaping a personal brand, in my experience, it means being consistent."

"It's all about trusting yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else."

“Today is the day, tomorrow might never come. And if you show up in love, then you can trust that all is right with how you lived your life."

Jeannette talks to Ric Moylan, a leading performance coach, about his journey from a passion for sports to becoming a performance coach, working with both elite athletes and everyday individuals.

Ric has coached 10 World Champion athletes in all aspects of their physical development and mindset performance. Household names including boxing legend Ricky Hatton, W.B.A World Super Bantamweight Champion Scott Quigg, ATP Tennis star Liam Broady and many more have all turned to Ric for guidance in their professional careers.

Ric shares insights on mindset, the transition from sports to business, and the importance of setting goals and fundraising for a cause. He emphasises the principles of high performance in sports and how they can be applied to business leadership

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The principle of doing the basics well, as mentioned by the speaker, is crucial for success in both sports and business.
Setting goals and having a purpose, such as training for an event or fundraising for a cause, can provide motivation and drive to achieve success.
Having someone to talk to and hold you accountable, like a coach, can help in managing stress, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome.
Acknowledging that personal growth is a journey with no ceiling and requires constant work on oneself.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think having that ability is one of the key characteristics of high performance, being able to really focus on what it is they wanted to achieve. Then when they achieved it, they would quickly move on to the next target, the next goal."

"One of the biggest principles I talk about is this principle of what I call the lonely walk. Whilst the challenges of sport are very, very different, the physiology, the principles, the feelings are all the same."

"The situation is different, but the feelings are the same. So the way we train a high-performance athlete to be at their best in terms of delivering at that crucial moment, whether that's a penalty kick or whether that's a pitch for new business, it is exactly the same."

Jeannette discusses the concept of "balcony time" for leaders, emphasising the importance of stepping back from day-to-day operations to gain a strategic perspective. Drawing an analogy between being on the dance floor and standing on the balcony, she discusses the need for leaders to balance involvement in daily tasks with strategic thinking.

Technical vs. Adaptive Challenges: It's crucial for leaders to distinguish between technical challenges with known solutions and adaptive challenges that require more radical changes.
Leaders should understand where their team members, stakeholders, and customers are to effectively address challenges and opportunities.
Leaders need to interpret the underlying messages and emotions behind what is being communicated to make informed decisions.

BEST MOMENTS

"Being a leader is about making those difficult decisions, about seeing the bigger picture."

"You need to be constantly adjusting, on the dance floor dealing with day-to-day challenges, but also on the balcony observing from a macro perspective."

"You have to proactively create balcony time in your diary to have that deep thinking time, to have that observation, so that you're not always in the weeds."

ABOUT THE GUEST

At 49 years old, Grenade’s® Co- Founder and former Chief Marketing Officer, Juliet Barratt has had a fascinating career which has spanned education, charity and training, before succeeding in the world of marketing and sports nutrition, with the launch of market leading sports performance and active nutrition brand, Grenade®.

She decided to follow her passion for health and fitness and join her business partner Alan, to work in a sports nutrition distribution business. Juliet and Alan worked tirelessly importing and distributing a range of sports nutrition supplements on behalf of other people, until being inspired to create their own Sports Nutrition Brand. This was always the plan as from 2006, Grenade® had been trademarked and the following years were spent working on packaging, positioning, tooling before launching Grenade® into the UK in February 2010. Grenade® was intended to be a hobby after selling the distribution business but soon turned into an obsession.

Selling in over 80 countries in all major supermarkets and online, Juliet has vast experience in global marketing as well as scaling growth. Juliet also has experience of working for Equity backed companies having had investment into Grenade® from GrovePoint Capital in 2014 and Lion Capital in 2017. Grenade® sold to Mondelez in early 2021 for £200 million. Juliet fully exited the business at this point.

Juliet still prioritises education and spends a lot of her spare time mentoring young entrepreneurs and assisting them with start-ups. She loves business and is hugely proud of Grenade’s® growth and position in the market. Juliet talks at various events about Founding Grenade® and the entrepreneurial journey and supports a number of charities. Juliet now works with FMCG businesses on their growth journey in NED / Chairperson roles. Companies include a plant based chocolate brand, gut health drinks brand and a free from snacking brand. Her no nonsense, straight talking and very practical viewpoint is refreshing along with determination and unrivalled work ethic.

Jeannette discusses the crucial topic of the underrepresentation of female CEOs in the business world. Drawing from her extensive experience as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur, she highlights the progress made in gender diversity but emphasises the need for further action. The episode explores the reasons behind the lack of female CEOs, including cultural norms, biases, and outdated organisational policies

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gender diversity, equity, and inclusion are crucial for business success, with diverse teams and boards showing higher growth, profitability, innovation, and better decision-making.
Cultural norms, biases, and lack of strategic focus contribute to the underrepresentation of female CEOs in top organisations.
Organisations must prioritise gender diversity from the top down, hold leaders accountable, and implement inclusive policies and initiatives to support female talent.
Challenging biases, providing mentorship, coaching, and role models, and encouraging women to push past self-limiting beliefs are essential for career progression.
Embracing creativity, flexibility in policies, and reshaping traditional roles can create a more inclusive environment where women can thrive and reach leadership positions.

BEST MOMENTS

"The case is absolutely clear. Quite frankly, diverse teams, diverse boards make more money, have a better position in the market, attract more people to the organisation."

"There are some preconceptions around as well, right? Around women can't do an engineering job, or women don't make good mechanics, or women don't make great pilots, etc."

"And of course, what I would say as well, for all of us women out there, we need to help ourselves as well. We need to help each other."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Rebecca Openshaw-Rowe

From playing international sport to working in typically male dominated environments Bex knows no boundaries when it comes to gender stereotyping and reaching success. She has rowed for Great Britain, competed in the Rugby World Cup and Six Nations for Wales and has won numerous world championships in ‘surf life saving‘ and has even broken world records in this event. In November 2017 her sporting career was cut short due to a multiple ligament rupture in her knee after playing a game for Harlequins.

At the age of 37 she became a firefighter, fulfilling a lifelong ambition after leaving her previous job as a PE teacher. Changing her career so late in life was a huge risk but her guts and determination to persevere means it has been the best decision she ever could have made.

Georgina Gilbert

George has been a firefighter for 26 years and currently serves with South Wales Fire and Rescue service. George is an ambassador for gender equality and has an ambition to see more women striving to do whatever job they want to do in life; always ensuring she is visible as a role model for women wanting to embark on a career that doesn’t fit society’s stereotypes.

She loves competing at high level and qualified to represent Great Britain’s Age Group Triathlon Team and also has scaled mountains such as Elbrus and Kilimanjaro. George has also recently been nominated for ‘Most Influential LGBT and individual in the Fire Service’ by Excellence in Fire and Emergency two years running.

Jeannette talks to the fabulous Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Vice Chairman, External Affairs for the Royal Caribbean Group and author of “Making Waves: A Woman’s Rise to the Top Using Smarts, Heart and Courage". Lisa joins the show to talk about her fascinating business background, how she conquered the world of business, and what's coming in her future.

Lisa talks about what makes a great leader, why women deserve a more prominent role in all aspects of life, and how the power of courage can transform your path through life. She also discusses her book, and talks about how it is built upon the transferrable lessons from her own life in business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People are drawn to leadership and magnetic power of those who steer the ships. True leaders are those we can lean on during the stormier times.
Learning is not just about seeing the things we aspire to. It's about recognising what doesn't work, and calculating that into our life plan, too.
Everyone has an ego, but the problems arise when we are led solely by it, instead of using it as an accelerating force.
Many who enter business near the top don't arrive with the smarts and the skills that you can only gain by climbing the ladder progressively.

BEST MOMENTS

"I learned that a great leader is a great leader. And that's what people are looking for. Captains aren't looking for someone who was a captain to be their leader at the end of the day."

"I always find it serendipitous that I ended up in the cruise business, hospitality on the ocean. And it's like this. My life came full circle and it was through no plan."

"I was a woman who did it. And, you know, the subtitle of Making Waves is a woman's rise to the top using smart and courage."

"I've had to be very conscious of that. You know, when I was my first promotion was going from a salesperson to a regional sales manager, which meant that I went from an individual contributor."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Lisa Lutoff-Perlo is Vice Chairman, External Affairs for the Royal Caribbean Group, where she works on broad strategic initiatives with industry organizations and key external stakeholders. Prior to that, she served as President and CEO of Celebrity Cruises from 2014 to 2023, the first woman to take the helm of a Royal Caribbean Group brand and one of the few women then leading a multi-billion dollar brand.

Lutoff-Perlo is a recognized trailblazer in the global hospitality industry. She was the driving force behind transforming and re-defining today’s relaxed luxury cruise experience with a bold, innovative approach to ship design and service for both the industry and the Celebrity Cruises brand. Launching Celebrity’s Edge Series in 2018, the ships were immediately hailed as game-changing for the industry and recognized on TIME Magazine’s annual “World’s Greatest Places” list. She also led the Celebrity brand through a digital transformation, tapping into new market opportunities, customer trends, a robust digital marketing focus and increasing guest loyalty.

In the years leading up to the global pandemic, Lutoff-Perlo led Celebrity Cruises to historic financial performance. She then led the industry back into service on June 26, 2021, when Celebrity Edge was the first ship to sail from a U.S. port and went on to return the brand’s business performance to historical ranges in the first full year post-pandemic. In 2023, Celebrity Cruises’ ships were the first in the world to earn the coveted star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, further solidifying the brand’s relaxed luxury resorts at sea brand positioning.

A purpose-driven leader, Lutoff-Perlo also catalyzed cultural progress in the 200-year-old cruise industry by appointing the first American female Captain and the first West-African woman to work on the bridge of a cruise ship; making history with the first all-female bridge and leadership sailing in 2020; and, ultimately, increasing Celebrity’s percentage of women on the bridge to 32%, far exceeding the maritime industry average of 2%.

She has been recognized with numerous awards for business transformation, outstanding leadership, diversity and inclusion, and her numerous philanthropic efforts., and is a member of the Board of Directors of Fortune 500 company AutoNation (NYSE: AN) actively lending her expertise to numerous nonprofit boards.

Lutoff-Perlo shares her powerful career stories and lessons learned in her leadership book, “Making Waves: A Woman’s Rise to the Top Using Smarts, Heart and Courage,” available in February 2024.

Jeannette talks to Navead Yousaf, the founder and managing partner of Burgh Thorpe Solicitors. Navead shares his journey of setting up his own law firm and the challenges he faced along the way. He also discusses the current state of the property market, including the impact of the stamp duty holiday and the future outlook.

Navead additionally provides valuable advice for first-time buyers and investors, emphasising the importance of choosing the right solicitor and building strong relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The conveyancing process can be protracted and old-fashioned, with wet ink signatures and slow land registration.
The property market is experiencing mixed trends, with the first-time buyer market affected by the removal of the help to buy scheme.
As a business owner, it is important to juggle between being in the weeds and taking a macro perspective, and to be willing to adapt and learn in order to succeed.

BEST MOMENTS

"You either go for it, because if it failed, you know, and there's no guarantee any business will be a success. But you want to tell yourself you tried, and you gave everything."

"Recommendations is always the best, isn't it? And or if not try to find somebody localish to someone that you know you can pick up the phone and they can guide you."

"I'm enjoying it. I'm learning. you know, and taking it on board. But in 12 months time, or 12 to 18 months time, you know, I'm expecting to start to delegate a lot of these tasks out and kind of then just oversee."

"The best advice I received was, despite the challenges in the early days, you know, the advice I received was to go and set it up on your own. And that's exactly what I did."

Jeannette discusses the importance of effective communication during times of great change in organisations. Drawing from her 30 years of experience in business, she shares six key tips for navigating through change and ensuring clear and empathetic communication with teams.

She focusses on the need to explain the reasons behind the change, create space for individuals to process and ask questions, demonstrate through actions and words, encourage dialogue and provide answers, build engagement through accomplishments, and actively manage oneself as a leader

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Communication is crucial during times of change in an organisation.
Explaining the reasons behind the change is important, both on a macro and micro level.
Providing space for individuals to process the change and ask questions is essential.
Leaders should be mindful of their behaviours and body language, as they are being closely observed during times of change.
Encouraging dialogue and actively managing oneself as a leader are key to navigating through change successfully.

BEST MOMENTS

"Explain why. Why is the change happening, whether that's a reorganisation structure, whether it's a change in direction, whether it's an exit from a business, buying a new business, introducing a new product line, maybe closing certain offices within an organisation, whatever the change is."

"Encourage dialogue. Don't shy away from the tough conversations, the fierce conversations that you might need to have, but at the same time, make sure that it doesn't spiral into sort of, you know, a pool of negativity necessarily."

"Change is not always bad. Change is often very, very positive. And actually, when you get through the change, if you ever do, because you're always changing and growing, actually, you can find that coming out the other side, you know, people that are still part of that future”

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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Harry highlights the significance of having strong controls and processes in place, especially in the early stages of a business.
Our upbringing and experiences shape our entrepreneurial mindset. We should use the lessons of the past to shape the outlook for our futures.
There have been major setbacks in the travel industry, including thin margins and global shocks, which is why there’s a great need for resilience in navigating these challenges.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think that if we look at my childhood and we go up to when I was 18, 19 years old, both my parents were creatives. So they're both playwrights and they never had full-time jobs."

"You know your children better than anybody, any doctor, any expert, any specialist, anyone that gives you advice, you know them better than anybody else and have confidence and belief in what you know."

"Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment."

Jeannette shares four key steps that can completely transform one's life. Drawing inspiration from renowned life coach Tony Robbins, she focusses on the importance of identifying one's current emotional state and choosing to practice a new, empowering emotion.

Join Jeannette as she highlights the power of conditioning the mind through new routines and habits to create a positive shift in life, business, and relationships, encouraging you to reflect on your emotions, identify the antidote to negative emotions, and implement new behaviours to achieve your desired emotional state.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The first step in transforming your life is to identify where you currently live emotionally. Take a moment to reflect on your emotions and determine if you are feeling angry, upset, fearful, joyful, or excited about the future.
Once you have identified your current emotions, think about the opposite emotions that you would like to feel. For example, if you are feeling fearful, the antidote could be bravery or courage. Identify the emotions you want to replace the negative ones with.
Although it may not be easy to switch from a negative emotion to a positive one, it is important to practice the new emotion. Train your brain to focus on the positive and consciously work towards feeling the desired emotion.
Conditioning involves implementing new routines, habits, and behaviours that support the desired emotion. Identify the behaviours that lead to negative emotions and replace them with actions that promote positive emotions.

BEST MOMENTS

"I really believe when we learn something great, we should share."

"The brain is incredibly powerful. And how we train our brain, what we actually concentrate on, training our subconscious mind is often really half-hearted."

"Remember, there are no limits to your growth, only the limits that you place on yourself."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Carolin-Marie Roth, a former TV producer and presenter, has practised yoga for nearly 50 years and has been a British Wheel of Yoga teacher for more than 2 decades. Carolin’s extensive experience means that she is lucky enough to have met, interviewed and taught many amazing and fascinating people. Her passion for living well through yoga is sincere and her classes are filled with laughter.

Carolin’s first ever interaction with yoga was around 1973, in the USA, where she lived with her uncle and his family. Carolin watched ‘Lilias Yoga and You’, a television show hosted by Lilias Folan, North America’s ‘First Lady of Yoga’. Her simple yoga routines, which Carolin practised religiously day and night, gave her structure, stability and comfort.

Her early yoga days back in Düsseldorf, Germany, came during Carolin’s university years. Students had to meet in private houses as there were no yoga studios. Carolin’s fellow yogis at the time were the musicians Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider-Esleben, best known as the founding members of the electronic band Kraftwerk. Another yoga friend was one of the producers of Electric Music and Rheingold, Lothar Manteuffel. There seemed to be a special connection between music, yoga and Germans searching for a better life.

Before Carolin became a British Wheel of Yoga teacher 20 years ago, she used to work as a TV presenter and producer for RTL in Luxemburg and Germany. Throughout her TV career, Carolin met and interviewed all kinds of famous and interesting people, but behind the glittery TV world she always craved for a family of her own and a life in London.

When Carolin and her husband Jörg sold their London-based TV production company, they used some of the profits to found and run an award-winning charity, My Life Films, training young filmmakers to produce personalised films for people living with dementia. Today, they are still trustees of this charity and have since overseen the launch of the world’s first streaming platform for people with cognitive needs, My Life TV – a kind of ‘Netflix for Dementia’ – all non-profit.

Carolin likes to keep busy and is lucky enough to live in leafy Richmond upon-Thames on the outskirts of London, enjoying the beauty of her neighbourhood with her husband, 3 grown-up daughters, 2 baby granddaughters and labradoodle, Bowie.

Carolin's book is now available on Amazon. You can order your copies on the link below.

Jeannette discusses the power of reframing and how it can transform our thoughts, actions, and ultimately, our results. By reframing our perspective on challenging situations, disappointments, and setbacks, we can change how we respond and find opportunities for growth and positive outcomes. Jeannette shares personal examples, such as not getting a promotion and dealing with a knee injury, to illustrate the effectiveness of reframing, and stresses the importance of recognising negative emotions, looking at situations from a different angle, taking proactive actions, and ultimately, taking control of our own lives

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Reframing is a powerful tool that can transform how we think, process, and respond to situations, ultimately affecting the results we get.
When faced with a negative situation, it is important to notice and recognise what is happening, and then reframe it by asking ourselves what good could come from it.
Taking action is crucial in turning a negative situation into a positive one. By taking small steps, we can create momentum and set ourselves on a different path.
Surrounding ourselves with the right people can also be helpful in maintaining a positive mindset and overcoming challenges.

BEST MOMENTS

"We're able to influence that. We're able to make different choices. So, this is for you. If you find that you're maybe in a little bit of a difficult position right now, you might be going through some change in terms of your business or career."

"Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right. You've probably heard that before. It's so true. It is so true. Our perspective is absolutely critical."

"So if you're feeling in a bit of a fog, you're feeling a bit pissed off, something's happened, you're feeling like the victim, take control back. Reframe and then take positive action."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette discusses the three ways that individuals can leave their jobs. Whether it's a voluntary decision, being made redundant, or feeling the need to make a sudden leap, Jeannette provides insights and strategies for each scenario, highlighting the importance of emotional well-being and mindset during these transitions, as well as the need to proactively network, update resumes and LinkedIn profiles, and set clear goals for the future

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are three ways to leave a job: being made redundant, planning an exit while still employed, or making a spontaneous decision to leave without a plan.
The emotional response and strategy will vary depending on the scenario.
Money and flexibility are the two main reasons people leave their jobs.
It is important to take control of your career and navigate it proactively, as no one else will do it for you.
Networking, updating your CV and LinkedIn profile, and setting clear goals are essential steps in leaving a job and finding a new opportunity.

BEST MOMENTS

"There are three ways that you can leave your job but how you actually feel about the situation emotionally and also the strategy that you will deploy will be different depending on which one of those three scenarios you find yourself in."

"There are 70% of people are going to be looking to change jobs this year... So it's a really hot topic”

"It's perfectly normal in a scenario where you're being exited from a role, especially if you've been in an organisation for quite some time, that shock it can really be very difficult."

"So whatever it is you want, take control. If you're not in control in terms of the original catalyst for leaving a job, i.e. you're being made redundant, or the role has been made redundant, take control back, right?"

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 explores the thought-provoking question of whether one would buy their own business. By shifting the perspective to that of an investor or potential acquirer, she encourages business owners and leaders to assess their businesses objectively.

The episode delves into various aspects of due diligence, including finance, legal, tax, commercial, IT and digital, and HR. By examining each area through the eyes of an investor, you’ll gain valuable insights into the health of your businesses and identify areas for improvement or further development

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Shifting your perspective and asking yourself if you would buy your own business can provide valuable insights and a fresh perspective.
Putting yourself in the mindset of an investor or acquirer allows you to see your business from a different angle and identify areas for improvement or opportunities you may have missed.
Conducting a detailed due diligence of your business in areas such as finance, legal, tax, commercial, IT and digital, and HR can help you assess the health of your business and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Evaluating the financial health of your business, including historic performance, current performance, and future growth potential, is crucial for potential investors or acquirers.

BEST MOMENTS

"So changing that perspective, putting yourself on the other side of the table is refreshing. I recommend you do this at least once a year, or twice a year if you can."

"So to actually go through each of those areas, is our product and service offering differentiated enough? Or is it actually the same as a competitor, and therefore, we're in a weak position?"

"Have I got visibility of my succession planning for my team? Who is the caretaker in the event that I need to fill a role very quickly? Who is the successor within 1 year or within 2 to 3 years?"

"Ask yourself the question, would you buy your own business? We are looking for a definitive yes here, a yes with confidence."

Jeannette shares a formula for success to kick off the new year in the best way possible. The formula is belief plus purpose plus action equals results. She focusses upon the importance of believing in oneself and surrounding oneself with supportive people.

Jeannette also talks about the significance of having a clear purpose and reason why, and provide a model called the Vision Cascade to help listeners define their goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The formula for success in 2024 is belief plus purpose plus action equals results.
Belief starts with oneself and involves doing things that make you feel good, visualizing your future, and surrounding yourself with supportive people.
Purpose is about knowing your reason why and what you genuinely want from life. It involves getting clear on your vision and breaking it down into focus areas.
Action is essential in achieving success. It requires having a plan and taking steps towards your goals, whether it's starting with the end and working backwards or simply taking action today.
Regularly checking in on your self-belief, purpose, and action can help you stay on track and achieve your dreams in 2024.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you don't believe in yourself how can you expect other people to believe in you."

"What mark do you want to leave on this world? What's your reason why?"

"But have a plan and take the action. Because when you do that, that's when stuff starts to happen."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Richard Parker, the CEO of Diomo.com and an expert in buying and selling businesses. Richard shares his journey of becoming an entrepreneur and offers valuable insights into the process of buying a business.

From being featured in Forbes, to advising Ray Dalio’s son, Richard has helped thousands of people realise their dreams of becoming business owners. His book ‘How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price’ program has sold over 100,000 copies in more than 80 countries.

He emphasises the importance of acquiring the right knowledge, understanding what type of business is right for you, and being prepared for the challenges and imperfections that come with buying an existing business. Richard also discusses the benefits of buying versus starting a business and provides tips for business owners who are considering selling their businesses, such as maintaining flawless books and records, addressing major problems, and ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When buying a business, it is important to acquire the necessary knowledge and information to make informed decisions throughout the process. This includes understanding the considerations, organising the search, and ruling out prospects that are not the right fit.
It is crucial to identify what type of business is right for you and align your skills and expertise with the business you choose. This ensures a better chance of success and a smoother transition into ownership.
Buying an existing business is often a more stable and secure option compared to starting a business from scratch. Existing businesses have established processes, infrastructure, and cash flow, making it easier to hit the ground running.
When selling a business, it is important to run the business as if you were going to sell it. This includes maintaining flawless books and records, addressing major problems, and ensuring a smooth transition for the new owner.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you do it properly, buying an existing business is a step up from a startup."

"Run your business like you have to sell it. Keep flawless books and records, address major problems, and have a transition plan in place."

"The pain that they've gone through is just excruciating. But the experience of working together was an unbelievable few years."

"Businesses are made up of people and their families. Relationships are everything."

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 interviews orthopaedic surgeon Neil Jain, who shares his journey from growing up in Barrow in Furness to becoming a top-notch orthopaedic surgeon.

He discusses the qualities that make a great surgeon, emphasising the importance of patient selection and thoroughness in surgery. Neil also talks about the significance of building a strong doctor-patient relationship and the impact of interpersonal skills in his practice. He shares personal anecdotes, including his first surgical experience and the influence of role models in his career.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Becoming a great orthopaedic surgeon requires a combination of factors and skills, including patient selection, thoroughness in surgery, and effective communication with patients.
Interpersonal skills and building a strong relationship with patients are crucial for a successful surgeon. Making patients feel comfortable, listening to their needs, and explaining procedures in simple terms are important aspects of patient care.
Role models play a significant role in shaping a surgeon's career. Learning from experienced surgeons and picking the best qualities from each mentor can contribute to personal and professional growth.
The experience of operating on elite athletes or high-profile individuals is not significantly different from operating on average patients. The core principles of providing quality care and achieving positive outcomes remain the same, although the demands and expectations may vary

BEST MOMENTS

"I always wanted to do something in sport, whether that was play, be involved in media."

"You're reliant upon information from your patient because you want to help them."

"Remember, it might be the millionth time you've done it, but it's the first time for that person. Make it special."

"I always remember as a student looking at the surgical registrar or the orthopedic registrar thinking, God, they must know so much."

Jeannette discusses the important topic of exiting a business, whether as a CEO of a large corporate organisation or as a business owner.

Drawing from her 30 years of experience in both roles, she shares valuable insights and tips on how to effectively plan and execute an exit strategy, covering five key areas: learning the exit process, starting early, scoping out options, establishing operational foundations, and considering the impact on people

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is recommended to start planning for an exit or transition early on. By having a clear vision of what the next phase looks like and working backwards from there, individuals can take the necessary actions and avoid feeling rushed or unprepared.
Depending on whether one is a corporate CEO or a business owner, there are different exit options to consider. For corporate CEOs, it may involve engaging with headhunters or networking for the next CEO role. For business owners, options may include selling to a competitor, private equity investor, or considering a management buyout.
Before exiting a role or selling a business, it is crucial to ensure that all systems, processes, and documentation are in place. This includes having the necessary information for due diligence and ensuring that the business can run smoothly without the individual's direct involvement.
Managing the impact on people is critical during an exit or transition. This includes considering the anxiety and uncertainty it may cause for the team and stakeholders. For business owners, it may involve maintaining confidentiality among a close-knit team during the selling process

BEST MOMENTS

"I think it's amazing to ask as many people as possible what their opinions are, what their experience has been, because that is going to give you a great suite of information that you can digest “

"The exit and having the people front and foremost in your mind is critical."

"Once you have exited and sold your business, what's the message externally? What's the message to your suppliers, to your customers, making sure the handover of whoever you have sold the business to, you know, is done smoothly, it's done respectfully?"

"So let's do it in an elegant way. Let's do it in a respectful way. Let's make sure that when you move on, the business will continue to thrive."

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 interviews Kate Howell, former Communications and Engagement Director for Borough Market in London. They discuss leadership during times of crisis, specifically focusing on Kate's experience managing communications after the 2017 attack on Borough Market.

Kate shares valuable insights on leading with empathy, the importance of self-care, and the power of networking and building personal brand. She also reflects on her career journey, transitioning from a corporate role to a plural career, and the impact of community and food in her work

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Personal branding is about how people perceive you when they think of you. It's important to understand your values and how you want to be perceived in the professional space.
Don't be afraid to ask others for their perception of you. This feedback can help you understand how others see you and align your personal brand with your values.
Personal branding is not about being big-headed or showing off. It's about confidently talking about your achievements, experiences, and interests in a way that resonates with others.
Building a personal brand involves connecting with people who share your values and interests. Networking and engaging with others in your industry can lead to valuable connections and opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Brand is not colouring in. Communications isn't colouring in. It's a strategic function."

"If you get a no right now, maybe it's a no, not at the moment, but might be in the future."

"Be kind, treat people as you want to be treated, and if you are in a privileged position, you have to go through that journey to understand yourself."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Kate Howell

For more than 10 years, I have been part of the senior leadership team at Borough Market, initially leading on communications, but gradually broadening my remit to cover all forms of stakeholder engagement. As part of the Market’s four-person executive, I am working closely with the board to help shape the strategic direction of the Market at what is a pivotal period in the evolution of this historic institution. Following a lengthy period of consultation with stakeholders and external experts, we have recently published our 2030 Strategy and the Market’s first ever Food Policy.

When I arrived in my post, Borough Market was widely known, but its brand was under- developed and its reputation had been battered by a series of damaging press stories and disruptive construction projects. I have been highly successful in building Borough Market’s brand and increasing engagement through our many direct channels. Our digital presence is now vast, incorporating a popular website, social media channels with hundreds of thousands of followers, an e-newsletter, digital publications, and a regular podcast series. Our customer magazine has won numerous awards, we have published two critically and commercially successful books, and our in-person events are always heavily attended.

I have also ensured that the thoughts of the institution and its traders on topics related to food politics and sustainability are regularly heard through the national media. I helped shape our strategic response to some extremely challenging circumstances, including the 2017 terrorist attack, Brexit and the COVID pandemic, as well as driving positive coverage of the Market’s many amazing people and activities. I have frequently appeared on TV and radio and have worked closely with colleagues to prepare them to do the same.

Jeannette discusses the five big things that people often overlook when they make the decision to leave their job and become their own boss. Drawing from her own experience as a former corporate CEO turned entrepreneur, she shares valuable insights and advice for those considering or already on this journey.

The episode covers topics such as the loneliness that can come with being your own boss, the need for structure and discipline, the different mindset when investing your own money, the importance of personal branding, and the value of building and nurturing a strong network.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Making the decision to become your own boss can be a lonely experience. When you leave a job and start your own business, you may find yourself without the support and camaraderie of a team. It's important to find ways to connect with like-minded individuals and build a network of support.
Despite seeking freedom, choice, and flexibility, many entrepreneurs find themselves missing the structure that a job provided. Creating a new structure for your day and setting clear goals and priorities can help you stay focused and productive.
When you're investing your own money in your business, it feels different than when you were managing a budget for a company. You become more cautious and rigorous in your spending, as every dollar or pound is your own hard-earned cash. It's important to have the right financial support and skills on your team to optimize your investments.
Personal brand becomes crucial when you start your own business. In the corporate world, your job title and the reputation of the company you work for may open doors for you. However, as an entrepreneur, your personal brand and reputation are everything.

BEST MOMENTS

"When you make the decision to jump out of a job and become your own boss, people don't tell you how lonely it is."

"Ironically, when I jumped out of corporate, I realized I missed the structure that I had in my job."

"When you're investing your own money, it feels very different. You pay much more attention and don't waste money."

"Your personal brand becomes a thing when you start your own business. Your reputation is everything."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette is joined by the fabulous Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, to engage in a lively conversation about her role as the First Lady and her passion for gender diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Eliza shares her journey of moving to Iceland for love and how she has used her platform to advocate for positive change. They discuss Iceland's progress in gender equality, the importance of tourism to the country's economy, and the need for sustainable practices. Eliza also opens up about her experiences as a working mom and offers valuable insights on finding balance and being present in the moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Iceland has made significant progress in gender equality, with nearly 50% of MPs being women and being ranked as the best country in the world for women by the World Economic Forum.
The journey towards gender equality in Iceland has been a combination of top-down approaches, such as government legislation and quotas, and grassroots efforts to advocate for change and amplify underrepresented voices.
Tourism is a vital sector for Iceland's economy, with the country offering a diverse range of attractions, including natural wonders, cultural festivals, and culinary experiences.
Iceland has worked towards making tourism more sustainable by investing in infrastructure, encouraging year-round travel, and promoting ethical practices in the industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"Just because we're the closest doesn't mean we're there yet. We still have a lot of inequalities that we need to be tackling."

"It's levelling the playing field for everyone. It's giving greater opportunities to people of all genders."

"You can't just say, well, we've written a policy now. So we have a policy that things are going to be equal. And it's not really our fault if women aren't applying for the jobs or whatever it is."

"I think it's fantastic because so often we will focus on the same old, same old destinations, you know. But we also want to be able to travel widely and have a rich experience."

Jeannette shares her appearance on the incredible Beyond The Fail podcast, hosted by Jeremy Wood, in which she shares her journey from a young ambitious graduate to leading major companies like Emerging Markets at TUI and Travel Division of Saga PLC.

She discusses her biggest business failures, including a challenging business deal in Moscow surrounded by gun violence and the consequences of choosing the wrong location for her new business. Jeannette's story highlights the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and finding a balance between ambition and enjoying the journey

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Imposter syndrome is a common challenge that many leaders and entrepreneurs face. It’s vital to instil positive self-talk and surround oneself with supportive individuals.
While Jeannette achieved significant milestones in her career, she acknowledges that she could have taken more time to appreciate the experiences and environments she was in.
The lack of diversity in leadership positions, particularly in the corporate world, remains a significant issue. There is a need for more female role models and advocates for greater diversity and inclusion across all aspects of business.
Even experienced entrepreneurs face challenges and unexpected obstacles. It is important to adapt and adjust strategies when faced with adversity and to reassess goals and priorities when necessary.

BEST MOMENTS

"Failure is an essential part of the business journey, as well as being the key to success."

"I was the only one to go to university in my family... I knew that my life was not going to be just to stay in Manchester."

"I always knew I wanted to be the boss and running a big business... Why not be the boss? Why not me?"

"I used to suffer a hell of a lot with imposter syndrome... I've had to constantly work on my internal dialogue."

Jeannette discusses the concept of going backwards in order to go forwards in life and business. She shares personal examples from her career and life where she had to take a step back or sideways in order to ultimately move forward.

From struggling to find a job after graduating to making a sideways move to a different industry, she emphasises the importance of embracing change and learning from setbacks

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes in life and business, it is necessary to go backwards in order to go forwards. This means that setbacks or taking a step back can actually lead to future progress and growth.
Life is not always a straight path, and there can be many different routes and choices to make. It is important to keep it real and share our journeys authentically, as success is not always linear.
Going backwards or sideways can provide an opportunity for reflection and gaining clarity. It allows us to reassess our goals and identify alternative options that may lead to greater success.
Embracing setbacks, rejections, and failures as learning experiences is crucial. These moments can provide valuable lessons and pave the way for future opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life isn't always a straight path... we might have a perfect plan, but then it doesn't quite work out that way”

"I had to go backwards in order to go forward... I graduated with a first, but then had to take any job I could get."

"Not everything is rosy in the garden, you're going to get knockbacks, you're going to get rejections, you're going to fail loads, just accept it, embrace it, take it as learning."

"Do not worry if you need to go backwards to go forward... the worst thing you can do is sit in a situation which you're not happy with, you're not progressing, you're not getting the results that you want."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Chris Marsh, an analytical hypnotherapist and shamanic healer, who shares his fascinating journey from a career in IT to becoming a shaman, discussing his experiences with spiritual healing, past lives, and ancestral trauma.

Chris explains the concept of shamanic healing and how it combines various modalities such as Reiki, mediumship, and plant medicine, and focusses upon the importance of self-awareness and self-love in the healing process, offering practical advice for those interested in embarking on their own journey of self-discovery.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Self-awareness is a crucial starting point for personal growth and self-discovery. By becoming aware of our reactions and behaviours, we can better understand ourselves and identify triggers that may be holding us back.
Taking time for self-love and self-care is essential. It is not selfish to prioritise our own well-being and give ourselves the time and space we need to recharge and nurture our own needs.
Finding the right therapist or healing modality is important. Building trust and rapport with a therapist who aligns with our beliefs and values can greatly enhance the healing process.
The mind-body connection is powerful. Our mental well-being can have a significant impact on our physical health. Stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical ailments, highlighting the importance of addressing our mental and emotional well-being.

BEST MOMENTS

"The word actually comes from Siberia originally, and the Siberian shamans migrated across to the US and the Americas."

"Everybody can do the healing work. Everybody's got that connection to spirit and to enable you to get that connection and reconnect to it."

"Everybody comes with a spiritual purpose, I believe. So I think it's a combination."

"I think we're all born with a certain physiology of how our minds work, like a blueprint."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Chris Marsh is an Analytical Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Healer and Reiki Master working with individuals and businesses. Helping people become brilliant by helping them take back control of their lives and find true fulfilment. Using a number of healing tools to resolve the root cause traumas and situations that resulted in the fears and blocks that hold them back in life.

Chris spent 23 years in the IT industry, from software developer, to project manager, to head of software development for a market leading healthcare company managing 65 software professionals. My passion for supporting others with their mental health came from years of coping with his own extremities of anxiety, stress, depression IBS and migraines that left him exhausted, burnt out and regularly ill. Always determined to avoid medication and taking long term time away from work, and feeling abandoned by mainstream healthcare, Chris spent over ten years in search of a solution. Devouring countless books and online resources, then discovering mindfulness and alternative healthcare, which took him through Yoga, Acupuncture, meditation, and Reiki. Ultimately finding Analytical Hypnotherapy enabled him to let go of the core negative beliefs and behaviours that were creating his symptoms and holding him back.

Immediately Chris started learning the same therapy process and within 12 months had quite the IT industry all together and was running his business full time. Since then Chris has expanded his spiritual growth and healing learning Shamanic practice, having completed three 12 months programmes is working with his partner Tasha to heal and teach others the shamanic way with 1 on 1 healing and shamanic retreats.

Jeannette shares valuable insights on how to create good habits in order to achieve desired results, drawing inspiration from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.

Jeannette breaks down the process into four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. By making habits obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, you can learn how to implement and maintain positive habits in your lives

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Creating good habits involves four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. These stages are essential for establishing and maintaining habits.
Making the cue obvious is crucial for starting a good habit. This can be done by creating a habit scorecard and implementing specific intentions.
Habit stacking is a useful technique where a new habit is added onto an existing, well-established habit. This makes it easier to incorporate the new habit into daily routines.
Designing your environment to support your desired habits can reduce friction and make it easier to follow through. This can include removing temptations and setting up specific spaces for different tasks

BEST MOMENTS

"It takes time to get fit. It takes time to lose weight and it isn't immediate."

"Never miss twice because if you miss twice and then you miss a third time, then you miss a fourth time, that good habit is going to be much harder to start and it may, you may never get it back."

"What started out as being very difficult for me to start the podcast now is much more seamless."

"There are no limits to what you can achieve. But by having these good habits in your daily routine, your weekly routine, your monthly routine, whatever it is, it is going to allow you to unlock that true potential in yourself."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

"We are an authentic company. We share the same values, the same principles, same morals, and that makes life a lot easier."

Jeannette discusses the power of words and how they can greatly impact our lives. She challenges the old saying that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," stating that words do have the power to hurt or uplift us.

Jeannette delves into four key areas where words play a significant role: the inner dialogue we have with ourselves, the words we use when communicating with others, the tone of our language and body language, and the importance of word replacement to shift from negative to positive thinking

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Jeannette encourages being conscious of the words we use when communicating with others. Use motivational, supportive, and encouraging words instead of aggressive or negative ones.
Our body language and tone of voice can convey more than the words themselves. Jeannette stresses the importance of projecting positivity, energy, and confidence through body language and tone.
Replace negative words like "but" with more positive alternatives like "and" or "so." Replace phrases like "I have to" with "I get to" to shift from a negative to a positive mindset.
Believe in yourself and create the life you deserve. Jeannette encourages retraining our brains to believe in our abilities and potential

BEST MOMENTS

"Words are like verbal bullets. They can shred you."

"The stories that you tell yourself are really important. You need to train your inner brain."

"Choosing those words is really important. It can uplift, motivate, guide, support, or it can really crush people."

"I am entrepreneurial. I am an entrepreneur. I am a great corporate CEO, but I am also an amazing entrepreneur."

Jeannette welcomes Adele Nicoll, an elite athlete and multi-sport competitor, to discuss Adele's journey into athletics, her natural talent and passion for sports, and her dedication to training and competing in shot put, discus, and bobsleigh.

Adele shares her experiences of overcoming challenges, including the financial struggles of being a self-funded athlete, and the importance of having supportive relationships and role models. She also highlights the need for greater visibility and investment in women's sports, emphasising the value that individual athletes can bring to businesses and the wider community

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Adele acknowledges that she had natural athletic ability from a young age, but she also emphasises the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success. Talent may open doors, but it is the effort that takes you to the top.
Pushing through emotions and fulfilling your commitments, helps to demonstrate resilience and determination.
There is a need for more female role models in sports, particularly in individual sports like athletics. Adele believes that visibility and support from businesses are crucial in promoting women in sports and creating equal opportunities.
Adele encourages businesses to consider investing in individual athletes and not just team sports. She suggests that athletes can offer valuable skills and insights to businesses, such as motivation, inspiration, and resilience, which can benefit employees and contribute to better results

BEST MOMENTS

"I think there is a balance of obviously recovery is huge in what I do and I have to make sure I'm sleeping and I'm getting rest and I think I have this year become better at recognising when I'm getting run down because that's when you have to say I need a day off."

"I think that to see change, there needs to be a merge between investment into sport, to see it not just as sport. Because I think that's sometimes the hesitancy with a lot of, I guess, businesses, they think, well, sport doesn't align with what we do. Sport aligns with everything that businesses do."

"I think we really need to make it clear that it's never about males versus females. I think that it's always about females standing on their own on the same level as males, not to fight against males or to compete against males. It's about having the equal opportunity, the equal visibility."

Jeannette discusses the topic of body confidence and its impact on mindset and overall well-being. She acknowledges the pressure created by social media and societal expectations to look a certain way, but emphasises the importance of embracing one's authentic self.

Jeannette also shares personal experiences and interviews with two successful business owners who promote feeling good about oneself, providing tips for building self-confidence, such as establishing a well-being routine, seeking out positive role models, being mindful of social media influences, treating oneself, and valuing time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Embrace your authentic self, and learn to get comfortable with who you are and embracing your unique qualities and attributes.
Establishing a routine that focuses on both physical and mental well-being can have a significant impact on how you feel about yourself. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, and visualisation.
Seek out role models who inspire you and help you become a better version of yourself. These role models can be found in various areas of life, including media, friends, family, and colleagues.
While social media can have positive aspects, it's important to be aware that the images and content presented may not always reflect reality. Avoid comparing yourself to unrealistic standards and be cautious about the content you consume.
Be kind to yourself and reward yourself for your accomplishments, no matter how big or small. Additionally, recognize the value of time and use it wisely, focusing on activities and relationships that contribute to your personal growth and happiness

BEST MOMENTS

"There's so much pressure out there in terms of images on social media, maybe sometimes we think that we need to look a certain way, behave a certain way and that can really impact how we come across, how we feel about ourselves and also just our general mental well-being."

"But if we can enhance that and make you feel good about that, then that's an amazing thing to do."

"So, you know, to take a collagen supplement, it's not all about wrinkles on your face, but in general around your joints, kind of your muscle health, etc."

"We all have different parts of our body that we don't like, we're not happy with. We've got wobbly bits, right? But if you let that infiltrate your brain too much, it can really affect how you feel about yourself, your confidence, and essentially how you put yourself out into the world."

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.

Jeanette interviews Barbara Muckermann, the President and CEO of Silversea Cruises. Barbara shares her illustrious career journey, from her early exposure to different cultures and languages to her various roles in the travel and luxury industries.

She discusses the importance of sisterhood and supporting women in business, as well as the power of being true to oneself. Barbara also highlights the unique aspects of Silversea Cruises, including their focus on luxury experiences in remote destinations and their commitment to sustainability, sharing insights into the company's newest ship, Silver Nova, and the combination of Silversea's heritage with the resources and support of Royal Caribbean Group

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The company places a strong emphasis on its crew, considering them to be its biggest asset. The crew's empathy and training are key in delivering exceptional service and anticipating guests' needs.
Silversea's acquisition by Royal Caribbean Group has provided the brand with the necessary resources and support to grow and innovate while maintaining its distinct identity.
Silversea's newest ship, Silver Nova, showcases the combination of Silversea's heritage and Royal Caribbean's engineering capabilities. It features an asymmetrical design, allowing for more glass and natural light, as well as an open pool deck that offers unobstructed views of the destination.
The company is committed to sustainability and has built Silver Nova to be the most sustainable ship in its class, reducing greenhouse emissions by 40% compared to previous ships. The partnership with Royal Caribbean Group has enabled Silversea to invest in sustainable practices and technologies.

BEST MOMENTS

"Success is a very dangerous teacher, because the day we believe we got it all, that's when, first of all, I think we stop enjoying because part of working for me is also learning new things every day."

"I always consider my biggest strength the fact that I was born blonde with blue eyes, because many stupid men, they think you're stupid. And so they treat you like a blonde."

"The strength about an asymmetric ship is really the consumer benefits that come out of it. So the whole structure of the ship is inside, which allows the whole ship to be built in glass. So the first thing, which is difficult to explain on a podcast, but this is really the ship of light."

"So sometimes, as much as we were talking before about just open yourself to the universe and be out there, but also, don't be afraid of saying no if it doesn't feel right, because it's much harder to say no than yes."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

44% reveal that the pandemic has caused a long-term negative impact on their stress levels
While over half (55%) of Wales’ young people report experiencing a mental health problem
46% say the pandemic has made their mental health worse, and
28% of young people in Wales surveyed feel like they will fail in life

Our programmes have been developed in response to society’s changing needs, give young people the support they need to overcome hardship and lead full and successful lives.

BEST MOMENTS

"The most important thing I can do is set up an organization which really believes that's the most important thing."

"I think a lot of time in leadership, it's the questions you ask, which have the biggest multiplier effect, rather than anything else you do on flashy presentations and that sort of stuff."

"I genuinely believe I've been really, really lucky in life. And I look at the background, what I've just described my back from a really poor background East End."

"I think over the years, I think I've definitely learned that the best type of leader I can be is being the best me."

Jeannette is joined by Caitlin Williams, a young entrepreneur and founder of Wobbly Bits. Caitlin shares her journey of starting her business as an artist and how her passion for feminism and body positivity has shaped her work. She discusses the importance of accepting oneself and promoting confidence and inclusivity, and also talks about her experience with the Prince's Trust and NatWest, highlighting the support and mentorship she’s received. She shares valuable insights on running a business, overcoming self-doubt, and finding inspiration.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Caitlin is thankful for the support she received from her family, including her parents and grandparents, as well as her partner. Having a strong support system can provide encouragement and motivation in pursuing your business goals.
Social media has been a valuable platform for showcasing her artwork, attracting clients, and debunking false information.
The Prince's Trust, which provides many young entrepreneurs with mentorship, workshops, and grants to help start and grow businesses, has become a valued institution. Their many incentives can help boost confidence and improve pitching skills.
Caitlin acknowledges that she has experienced moments of self-doubt and imposter syndrome throughout her journey. However, she emphasises the importance of pushing through and not giving up, reminding herself that she is capable and deserving of success

BEST MOMENTS

"Surround yourself with the right people. Having a mentor like Lucy has been amazing. She throws me into opportunities and pushes me out of my comfort zone."

"I always thought it was like getting young people into some sort of opportunity, but I wasn't really sure what. But a girl I was in university with told me about the Prince's Trust and how they support young entrepreneurs."

"I've had moments of imposter syndrome, thinking, 'Am I really at a place in my career where I can talk to other people about business?' But you just have to keep pushing and not give up."

"Not everyone is going to like your work, and that's okay. Once you let go of trying to please everyone, you can have fun and create for yourself and your audience."

Jeannette is joined by Anita Mendiratta, a strategic advisor, renowned diplomat, and author of the upcoming book "The Call to Leadership: Unlocking the Leader Within in Times of Crisis."

Anita shares her insights on what makes a great leader during a crisis, emphasising the importance of a leader's wiring and their ability to interpret their role in the moment. She discusses her career journey and the catalyst for writing her book, which explores the experiences and lessons of influential leaders during the global pandemic.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Great leaders have a clear understanding of their purpose and the motivation behind their actions. They lead with a focus on something bigger than themselves, whether it's protecting their team, their organisation, or their community.
Leaders need to have clarity on what aspects of a crisis they can control and take action on. By understanding this, they can make informed decisions and create a sense of stability amidst uncertainty.
Leaders should be able to articulate and visualise the potential negative impacts of a crisis. By doing so, they can better prepare and develop strategies to mitigate those risks.
Effective leaders think beyond the immediate challenges and consider the future. They focus on how to navigate through the crisis and create opportunities for growth and recovery.

BEST MOMENTS

"I fundamentally believe that if we waste that time, if we spend all of that time having all of these great conversations about what we're not going to do again to make sure that we course correct and we forget those, we have wasted one of the best opportunities we've had as a bonding agent for our industry."

"No one ever stopped and said, Paul, how are you? No one had ever asked these leaders how they were. They were asking about the businesses."

"It's when decisions are made in a vacuum and during a crisis like we found with COVID, information was emerging in different ways, different times, different forms, and also different truths. People need information. It's food when there's a state of crisis."

"My point of view is always this, it's very easy to criticise and look backwards when we're in our comfort zone. But when we reflect back to those moments… we did not know. We did not have the blessing of information. We did not have any meaningful understanding. So we relied on people."

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

THE CHALLENGE WE FACE IN WALES

Wales continues to experience a variety of entrenched social and economic challenges. Workless households, significant health inequalities and high youth unemployment in some areas are the main issues that continue to prevail.

It’s widely recognised that growing up in poverty can have an unjust and detrimental impact on young people, placing barriers on future opportunities.

24% of young people in Wales agree they will never recover from the emotional impact of the pandemic
More than half (56%) of young people in Wales agree that the pandemic has left them feeling “burnt out” and
44% reveal that the pandemic has caused a long-term negative impact on their stress levels
While over half (55%) of Wales’ young people report experiencing a mental health problem
46% say the pandemic has made their mental health worse, and
28% of young people in Wales surveyed feel like they will fail in life

Jeannette is joined by Nick Thorpe to reflect upon the highs and lows of his journey as a property investor and business coach.

Nick shares his background in the military and how it shaped his discipline and communication skills. He discusses his transition into the world of business, starting with property investments and eventually expanding into multiple businesses, and also opens up about his experiences with mental health and the importance of self-care.

Selecting a supportive and compatible partner is crucial for personal and professional success

BEST MOMENTS

"I was more bothered that the things I'd seen and been involved in never really came up in anything that I talked about."

"Health would always be there, income and life can fluctuate up and down."

Jeannette is interviewed by Lucy Ingram of the Riding High Movement, and shares her journey from starting out as a government economist to becoming her own boss. Jeannette discusses the challenges she faced in transitioning to entrepreneurship, including the shock of having to manage everything on her own and the need for structure and discipline.

The interview is a set of inspiring lessons and practical advice for anyone looking to make a bold career change and pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Having a clear purpose and knowing why you do what you do is crucial for staying motivated and focused. It helps you navigate challenges and make decisions aligned with your values and goals.
Surrounding yourself with talented individuals who share your vision and values is key to success. Great teams are essential for achieving your goals and driving your business forward.
Always prioritise the needs and satisfaction of your customers. Stay connected to them, understand their wants and needs, and make decisions that align with providing the best possible experience for them.
Challenges and failures are opportunities for growth and learning. Embrace them as part of the journey and use them to improve and evolve. Don't be afraid to take risks and learn from your mistakes.

BEST MOMENTS

"You're only ever as good as the people around you. Smart leaders recognise they don't have to know everything, but they have to bring amazing people on the journey with them."

"The irony is that the freedom and choice you seek as an entrepreneur can be overwhelming. Going from having all the resources to just you, your phone, and your laptop can be scary."

"If it's not in my diary, it's just not going to happen. I have to be super disciplined with my time and schedule to manage three businesses and a podcast."

"We made a big decision to relocate and invest in property, but it didn't go as planned. Instead of sitting and moaning, we up-sticked again and moved to a new location."

Jeannette discusses the importance of having a mentor to scale up one's career, business, and life. Drawing from personal experience as both a mentee and a mentor, she shares ten invaluable tips on finding the perfect mentor, including committing to the mentorship journey, identifying the desired experience and values in a mentor, conducting thorough due diligence, arranging face-to-face meetings, and speaking directly to the mentor's previous mentees.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Before seeking a mentor, make sure you are fully committed and ready to invest the necessary time, finances, and emotional energy into the mentorship.
When looking for a mentor, consider their experience in your specific industry or sector, as well as their values, behaviours, and style to ensure a good fit.
Conduct thorough due diligence on potential mentors, including checking their social media presence, conducting online searches, and speaking to their current or past mentees.
Once you have identified potential mentors, arrange face-to-face meetings to get to know them better and ask about the results they have achieved for their mentees. Additionally, speak directly to their mentees to gain insights into their mentoring style and effectiveness.

BEST MOMENTS

"I'm a massive believer in mentors, in coaches. I have had mentors and coaches throughout my entire career, always at pivotal moments where I have either had a promotion, I've been setting up a business or I have been, you know, kind of shifting from one world to the next."

"I'm a big believer in you have to have direct experience before you can talk on any topic."

"The trust in the relationship between a mentor and a mentee is paramount."

"We only have one life, make it count."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette shares her biggest inspiration and her own formula for success with the amazing Iain Drudy on his show, Fearless Inspiration.

Jeannette talks about the importance of running a business with a heart, prioritising people and customers over profits, and her journey from a corporate career in the travel industry to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her passion for empowering women in the boardroom.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It’s crucial to put customers and people first in business, rather than solely focusing on financial gains. By prioritising customer satisfaction and creating a value-driven business, financial success will naturally follow.
All forms of diversity, including gender, LGBTQ, and social diversity, are important. Creating an inclusive environment not only benefits society but also leads to better financial results and customer experiences.
It’s important to take responsibility, learn from failures, and maintain a positive mindset to move forward and achieve success.
Leaders have a responsibility to inspire their teams, customers, and stakeholders. Leading by example, being authentic, and treating everyone with respect are key aspects of inspiring leadership.
There are 3 S's we can use to break through barriers and turn inspiration into action. State refers to mindset and energy levels, story involves the beliefs and narratives we tell ourselves, and strategy focuses on taking action and implementing plans. By addressing these three aspects, individuals can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you put your customer and your people first, and you do the right thing with a great idea that's unique and different, then the money will follow."

"Everyone has skills and contributions that they can make, but you have to really create an environment where proactively you're encouraging those opportunities for all."

"Don't lose hope when bad things happen, but own it, take responsibility, don't blame others."

"Change your state, change your energy, go to the gym, get a positive endorphin rush, and then the world seems more open to possibilities."

"Fundamentally, every person has good in them. I like to think most people are good."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Are you looking to get the top job? To become the CEO, an MD? If the answer is yes, then Jeannette’s here to explain to you exactly where the best businesses are finding their CEOs and leaders.

Armed with this invaluable information, you’ll find it much easier to step up when it counts and grab that job of your dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

During COVID, there was a huge shift in terms of CEO turnover – leaving organisations and joining new ones. The number departing for new jobs fell by 10% in 2020, to just 8.9% in 2021.
More women were appointed as CEOs in 2023, but women are still massively under-represented in terms of the global numbers. 87% of new CEOs were men.
It’s not always ideal to move externally in order to get your dream role. If you wish to ascend internally, then start engaging with key decision makers and stakeholders – let them know how valuable you are.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you’re ambitious and you really want to step up, then what do you need to be aware of?’

‘That turnover figure actually went back up in 2022’

‘You’re going to need to dig in, raise your profile, get networking like mad and really engage’

Jeannette talks to Alayna Francis, a senior communications leader and philanthropist about her diverse career journey - from working in book publicity to crisis communications and branding. Alayna shares her insights on effective crisis communication strategies, emphasizing the importance of taking ownership and addressing issues in a timely manner. She also highlights the significance of personal branding and adapting to cultural differences when working internationally.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Communication is crucial in any organization, especially during a crisis. It is important to respond promptly and effectively, addressing the issue and providing accurate information to alleviate confusion or misinformation.
Personal brand is important in career development. Being authentic and true to oneself while also adapting to cultural differences and respecting others' boundaries can help build strong relationships and make a positive impact.
Philanthropy and giving back to society are important values. Supporting disadvantaged individuals and groups, promoting equity, and leveling the playing field in areas such as sports and nutrition can have a significant impact on people's lives.
Cultural awareness and adaptability are essential when working internationally. Understanding and respecting different cultural nuances, communication styles, and approaches to business can lead to successful collaborations and relationships.

BEST MOMENTS

"Communication is kind of like air. You don't realize how important it is until you don't have any."

"Even if a company may be guilty of malfeasance, if they take ownership and address it in a meaningful way, that always mutes what the situation is."

"You have to get into the core of what the issue is. The most crucial point is how you respond and the amount and timing of your response."

"You have to be your authentic self, but then also soften enough or sculpt your approach and who you are in order to make people feel comfortable around you."

In this podcast episode, Jeannette shares valuable insights on how to secure that next big promotion. Drawing from her extensive experience in recruiting and promoting individuals, as well as her own successful career progression, Jeannette provides practical advice on six key areas.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Get clear on what you want: Before pursuing a promotion, it's important to have a clear understanding of your next ideal move, whether it's within your current organization or externally. Consider the role, organization, and potential career progression.
Polish your CV and LinkedIn profile: Ensure that your CV and LinkedIn profile are up-to-date and showcase your achievements and skills. Even for internal promotions, having a well-crafted CV is important to demonstrate your accomplishments and readiness for the next step.
Raise your profile: Take steps to raise your profile both internally and externally. This can include attending conferences, volunteering for projects, becoming an authority in your field, and actively networking. Being visible and known for your expertise can increase your chances of being considered for promotions.
Have proactive career discussions: Don't assume that others know about your career aspirations. Have proactive conversations with your boss and other relevant stakeholders to express your goals and seek feedback on what you need to do to be considered for a promotion. This will help you create a plan and demonstrate your commitment to growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"You cannot assume that people know what your next move is going to be."

"Networking should just be part and parcel of what you do. Put yourself out into the world, not give to receive, just give."

"Do more than you are paid to do. Volunteer for projects, volunteer to speak, volunteer to put your hand up as much as you possibly can."

"Your network is your net worth."

This week, Jeannette is in the hot seat as she appears on the Real Life Game Changers to discuss her own business journey, how she applies the experience and passion she's built to the world of business, and how she is personally inspiring a generation of entrepreneurs to take their own careers to the next level.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is important to have clarity on what you are trying to achieve in your career or business. Set clear goals and have a plan in place to move forward.
Surround yourself with the right people and build a strong team. No one can be good at everything, so it is important to have experts in different areas to fill the gaps in your knowledge or experience.
Structure and discipline are key to success. Have a clear plan and set goals, but also be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances.
Training and personal development are essential for growth and success. Continuously educate yourself and stay curious. Invest in your own development and seek out opportunities to learn and improve.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you don't know, just brainstorm all the things that you want in life. Get it out of your head, get it down on paper, and then from there, you will start to form a bit of a plan."

"You can educate yourself, you can surround yourself with really smart people, and don't be afraid of doing that."

"You've got to be able to treat people as individuals and offer options to people in a way that's still going to get the results."

This time, Jeannette is joined by author, speaker, entrepreneurial mastermind, and founder of Dent Global, Daniel Priestley!

Daniel joins Jeanette for an empowering conversation about where he finds his entrepreneurial spark, how to become a key person of influence, why success is even sweeter when it comes as the result of hard work, why the accepted wisdom about authenticity might be wrong, and how to strike the best balance between business and life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Authenticity isn't always the best way to keep your brand afloat. It's often best used as a spice rather than an ingredient. People came to you for a reason, and you should always keep that in mind.
Key persons of influence raise their profile, create amazing products, and form partnerships that generate life-changing results.
Business requires work, dedication and sacrifice if the heights of success are being sought, but we must never discount the value in reflection, fun, and making sure that the right culture is instilled.
Struggle is sometimes a matter of perspective. We can often describe challenge as hardship, but compared to the issues facing some people in the world, our challenges can seem minor.

BEST MOMENTS

'This is what the best of the best do'

'Authenticity means different things to different people'

'Here's an idea - shut up and work!'

'Sales as a profession should be treated as a profession'

'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette discusses the "fertile void", a concept that describes how, if we find ourselves in a creative void for a time, then it can spark unprecedented levels of creativity and productivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We're currently going through much in the way of change and unpredictability. We're in a void situation, as the norm has essentially disappeared, which can feel uncomfortable.
If you are able to stay in a position of being "comfortably uncomfortable" with not knowing what the next step might be, then you can spark creativity.
When we hit downtime, rather than panic and try to fill that space with other things, pause - just give yourself some time.

BEST MOMENTS

'You need to be able to rest in order for your mind to come up with creativeness'

'Things can come to you that would not have appeared to you before'

'Try and stay in that place where it is uncertain and it is uncomfortable'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Oliver Winter is the CEO and co-founder of a&o hostels, having founded the company 20 years ago with Michael Kluge. Since then it has gone on to become one of the most successful hostel chains in the world, with annual turnover in the nine-figure range.

Oliver joins Jeannette to talk about how he founded a global brand, and the differing skill sets he has acquired along the way, including becoming a prolific property investor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Hostels provide a sense of community, where people can come together in ways not possible in the hotel world.
Almost half of the business relies on groups for bookings, and hostels prove extraordinarily popular with the likes of students, who seek low-cost accommodation that allows them to remain together as a group.
Maintaining hostels requires not just a sense of business, but investment. Oliver has, along the way, become a property investor, and is now responsible for many units.
If you have a good business idea, then be brave enough to put it out there into the world, and be disruptive enough to see it through. Stick to your idea and stick to your way of doing things.

BEST MOMENTS

'You have to understand your target group'

'I always was focussed on operations, but to control a property has some charm'

'Our early lives influence our lives as adults'

'Be brave, be disruptive'

'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money'

ABOUT THE GUEST

Oliver Winter is the CEO and co-founder of a&o hostels, having founded the company 20 years ago with Michael Kluge.

Winter intended to begin his career in teaching, but while on a study break travelling the world in the mid-1990s, he was inspired to come up with a new hostel concept. Oliver wanted to give people, especially students or young people, the opportunity to stay in professionally managed, affordable and centrally located accommodation, with no youth hostel card fee.

After several initial attempts at getting the company off the ground, Winter was approached by his experienced, entrepreneurial landlord, who deemed the idea a ‘winning’ concept. The two of them collaborated, and together in 2000 they opened their first a&o hostel, a 164-room property in Berlin.

Since launching the brand, Winter has successfully expanded the company having been responsible for its strategic growth, with a&o operating 39 hostels in 25 cities and nine European countries. A 40th property is planned for spring 2024 with a&o Florence.

In 2022 a&o recorded its most successful year to date. Welcoming more than 5.55 million overnight stays and a turnover of more than 172 million Euros, the hostel chain surpassed results from the pre-COVID year 2019 (around 150 million) and experienced a turnover increase of more than 100 million Euros compared to 2021 – almost 150 percent more.

Jeannette talks to world-renowned business leader and travel industry specialist, David Robinson, about his fascinating career - one that has taken him to the heights of the corporate world as well as the upper echelons of the charity sector – how the lessons of business can amplify the charity business as a whole, and why values matter so much when it comes to establishing business brands and creating powerful messaging.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

David has found success in the charity sector by applying the rules of business, but keeping the element of care and the human factor at the forefront.
Bringing people along on the journey of change is challenging, especially for long time workers. But the world is changing, and we must, too.
To survive in the charity sector, the lessons of business must be applied. This requires resilience, and a focus upon the right kind of fundraising and marketing.
The charity sector needs support in learning how to survive in the long term. The cost of living crisis has meant that people are less inclined to give freely - combatting this mindset will decide how charities survive going forward.

BEST MOMENTS

'I've always loved travel, and ever since I was a child I wanted to work in that industry'

'The basis upon which we achieved that was through the changing culture and values'

'It's been a really interesting journey'

'The priority was to bring. commercial culture to the people who raise the money'

ABOUT THE GUEST

David Robinson had a successful career in the travel industry for more than 30 years from being the driving force behind a flight specialist in the early 90’s, taking it from start-up to major player with over £100m turnover in just a few years. He was involved in the acquisition process of the business to Thomas Cook Plc and ultimately was a Board Director of Thomas Cook Scheduled Businesses responsible for the airline, hotel and ground product portfolio of over £500m.

After taking a short break he looked at using his skills for more charitable purposes.

Initially, taking a role as a Trustee David moved, taking the role as Chief Executive of a children’s hospice which needed a thorough review of the culture, values and strategy. When he took over the reins the charity held a ‘requires improvement’ rating from the regulator. Using his skills for business, strategic planning, culture and values he transformed the charity attaining a rating of ‘Outstanding’ within two years with the regular citing the significant shift in culture, values and governance as overwhelming and inspiring.

He has also been an active member of several advisory councils in the charity sector with the most significant being Together for Short Lives, a nationally recognised organisation.

David stepped down from the CEO role at the end of last year and is now providing consultancy in business, strategy, culture and values to both the commercial and charity sector.

Dan Pearce is the CEO of TTG Media, and a fierce defender of smarter, better, fairer travel. Dan joins Jeannette to talk about the ever-increasing role of TTG Media and its crucial purpose, how he has transformed the company and what that process involved, and how discovering your own "why" can laser your focus and ensure that you remain relevant as a business in the future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

TTG has been through several different iterations since its inception, but from 2019, the business went through an exhilarating change, by talking to many people about what it means to be a modern business for the future.
Finding your "why" is crucial. If your why is to simply make money, you may find that it isn't quite enough of a purpose.
Fairer travel is all about promoting an industry that is both fairer to the environment through issues around sustainability, and fairer to the people who work within.
By taking a more diverse approach, we not only make ourselves more attractive to clients, but simply put, we do better business.

BEST MOMENTS

'This is a great time to talk about our purpose as a business'

'You have to find your why'

'We talk a lot about diversity and inclusion, and help businesses to improve in that area'

'Ultimately, this is good for business'

ABOUT THE GUEST

Daniel Pearce is CEO and owner of TTG Media. After joining the Travel Trade Gazette as editor in 2010, he moved to brand director in 2012 before mounting a management buy-out in 2013 and setting up TTG Media as a wholly independent business. Since then TTG Media has gone from strength to strength, launching a string of new initiatives including the TTG Top 50 Travel Agencies, TTG LGBT events, the ttgluxury Travel Awards, the ttgluxury Travel Summit, the TTG Diversity & Inclusion in Travel conference and most recently TTG+.

In April 2019 the business saw a rebrand under a new vision for a ‘Smarter, Better, Fairer’ travel industry – and new investment in print publishing, with TTG magazine, now monthly, still at the heart of the industry 67 years after its first edition.

Have you got the guts to fail? Are you failing big, or not at all?

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why failure can be the most liberating, and most exciting thing that you could possibly do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The way we think of failure is always in negative terms, and it's about time that we reframed things, so that we see failure as a way to learn.
Every single person has greatness within them, but it's not always easy to unlock. It's the fear of failing that stops us from even trying.
Become very clear on what it is that you want. If your reason for trying is compelling enough, then you'll find strength in this.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you're not failing, then you are in your comfort zone. You're not even trying'

'If you're not failing, then you're not learning, and that means you're not growing'

'You're going to get knocked back in life and business. That's just the way it is'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The shift to greener ways of working was always based upon cost savings, but now the initiatives seem to centre around a far more responsible outlook for the world.

Jeannette explains why, if you wish to get life-changing results, you may need to consider changing your identity, and what that process entails.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are multiple differing ways to achieve success in life, but we tend to focus on the wrong things. If you want to up your game and create sustainable results, instead of focussing on the outcomes, look at the inner you.
You can focus on the output, the strategy, and your identity. When change is required, people focus on outcomes or strategy. The best way is to change your identity first.

BEST MOMENTS

'You've got to change who you see yourself as in order to achieve lasting change'

'Each and every one of you has greatness within'

'The stories that we tell ourselves really creates a lasting impact'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks you through the all-important "breakthrough" moment - the moment in time when everything changes, and when you push through barriers towards the heights of success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are times when it can feel as though you're being held back from achieving that elusive goal. The breakthrough moment is when that barrier finally crumbles and you move on to where you need to be.
The three areas you need to focus on in order to create a breakthrough are: State, Story and Strategy.
You can control your state by looking towards exercise, sleep and a healthy diet. Changes such as these all contribute towards enhancing the state you're in.
Your story matters when it comes to success. If you don't believe in the story you've made for yourself, how will others believe it?

BEST MOMENTS

'It's when the impossible, all of a sudden, becomes possible'

'Breakthroughs don't just happen. You have to make sure you're in the best place possible'

'Creating a breakthrough can create a huge difference to every aspect of your life'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

- "Belief plus purpose plus action equals results."
- "I think the ten most dangerous words are 'what will other people think' and 'what will other people say?'"
- "Transformation is not necessarily about trying to become someone different. It's actually trying to let go of the things that are not really you."
- "But, yeah, I was often always the only woman in the boardroom with a P&L. Yeah, it was quite tough, actually."
- "in my opinion, it should always be the best person for the job."

Jeannette is joined by Julie-Ann Haines, the CEO of Principality Building Society, for a discussion about how she achieved the success she's found, why it's okay to let go of things sometimes in order to bloom in your career, and how to best empower your teams to do their very best.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Career paths don't always move in a straight line. It's fine to test things out and find out about yourself along the way.
You have to let go to grow sometimes. Holding on to the same things can stunt your development, so know when to hand things off and look for a new challenge.
If you're empowering a team, then go all in on it. Teams can't gain a sense of trust unless they're allowed to shine in their own way.
Stakeholders are always in search of confidence. It's up to us as leaders to best define what that looks like and deliver wherever possible.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm a proponent of squiggly careers'

'You have to let go to grow'

'That's where the trust with your team is so important'

'What all stakeholders need is confidence'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Julie-Ann Haines

I was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in September 2020. I joined the Society in 2007 to build and develop our award winning e-commerce business and was appointed the Society’s Customer Director in 2012. In May 2016 I was appointed to the Board with responsibility for strategy, marketing, distribution and leading the Society’s transformation programme as Executive Business Sponsor.

I am passionate about Principality, ensuring we build on our mutual ethos and values to build an organisation that is rooted in its communities, its fantastic customer experience and in meeting customer needs. My role is to ensure that we continue to build an organisation that is as relevant in the future as it is today, helping members to prosper in their homes.

Prior to Principality, I held a number of senior roles in sales, marketing and technology, working in leading customer centric businesses including Sainsbury’s, Reckitt Benckiser and HBOS. I was born and educated in Scotland, but Cardiff has been my home since 1999. I’m married to a Welshman and have two daughters. Outside of work I love cooking, walking and watching rugby and I’m a fan of all types of music.

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In life we often close down opportunities too soon by putting up barriers before we've begun. We need to stop, think, and agree more if possible.
When you find that you're saying no before yes, stop in the moment and recognise it's happening. it can be helpful to have a trigger to remind you of this.

BEST MOMENTS

'How can you retrain your subconscious, so that we say yes before no'

'The reality is that we only have one life, and there are opportunities everywhere'

Speaking directly from a diving trip in Australia, Jeannette talks about the value we gain when we step outside of our comfort zone, and dive into uncharted waters in search of new ways to grow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life is all about taking chances. The worst possible outcome would be to reach the end of life and feel a sense of regret about the things we could have done, but didn't.
Before you're able to dive, qualification is essential, and it's the same in life. if some new endeavour requires training, then learn the ropes.
Diving is usually done int he company of a master or mentor. If you want to achieve the best results in life, then find yourself a mentor - one who has walked the path before you, and who can show you the most effective ways to succeed.

BEST MOMENTS

'We only have one life and we want to make it count'

'Don't let life pass you by'

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you love what you do, then even if you aren't the most successful, it still means that you'll enjoy the journey.
We have "sliding door" moments in life that can send us off into all new directions, but these areas are where the real opportunity resides. Be brave enough to consider these pivot points.
You have to have a purpose greater than yourself, and be part of a team that motivates you, in order to ensure that we gain true job satisfaction.
Just because one chapter closes doesn't mean that more exciting chapters aren't ahead of you. See a closing door as the opportunity for an opening one.

BEST MOMENTS

'I've always been driven by "love what you do"'

'You've got to understand where you've come from if you want to know where you are'

'If you're clear on what your purpose and where you're heading, it's a lot easier to get there'

'There are opportunities everywhere'

Jeannette talks you through the best ways in which you can improve your experience on LinkedIn, use this fantastic tool to make meaningful connections, and increase the leads you can generate for your business as a result.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Often with social media we are not as intentional as we should or could be. We scroll aimlessly without any specific purpose in mind.
Using LinkedIn proactively and purposefully will create real impact for you and your business. LinkedIn - above other social media forms - is best for business as it's centred around that endeavour.
Think about your profile and represents what you're about - focus on the first line beneath your name and design it to show what you can do for people.

BEST MOMENTS

'LinkedIn is not people showing pictures of their kids'

'It can often be as simple as five minutes every morning'

'Social media is social!'

Jeannette is joined by entrepreneur, kick ass woman, and host and creator of Confidence Mastery - Natalie Bailey - one of the brightest business minds in the world!

Natalie talks to Jeannette about where she found the inspiration to begin her empowering journey into business, one that involved a complete re-evaluation of what life means, and how she fought her way to the heights of success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You never move in life, or grow as a person, unless you stray outside of your comfort zone from time to time. That's where real growth lies.
Making a legacy is one thing, but we create real change and impact when we give back to those who are less fortunate.
Being an entrepreneur can be a lonesome path to take, and so we should look for ways to involve others whenever possible.
Mastering confidence is all about learning to say no when someone tries to keep your natural self suppressed. It is the art of recognising what makes you unique.

BEST MOMENTS

'The lightbulb for me went on'

'The entrepreneurial road can be very lonely'

'In school they teach you to be silent and not heard. All of that disruptive behaviour are what makes us unique'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST

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

On a mission to help combat loneliness with the Better Together message, she helps busy, lost and stuck entrepreneurs to truly connect with themselves with the Confident Entrepreneurs Club, her Mastermind groups and Retreats. Living between Mallorca and London, she embodies everything she teaches. With a background in Personal Training, health and fitness is high on the agenda, with wealth creation and happiness going hand in hand to create a confident and successful life.

As a successful entrepreneur, podcast host and mentor she has learnt a lot over the past decade. She pulled herself back from nearly losing it all. She was the life and soul of the party scene in Magaluf, where she’d escaped to from an unfilled life and job in London, in a bid to build a new life.

Getting caught up with the wrong crowd ; partying every night to mask the loneliness, low self-esteem and depression she had.

When a lot of her friends got arrested she realised that she needed to change otherwise she’d end up in prison, or even worse, dead.

Throwing herself into understanding behaviour and what was triggering this wild lifestyle that she had changed her life, the people in it and fast-forward to today and she is a property developer working with her Mum, Paula on £MM projects, and a confidence coach, working with entrepreneurs and business owners to better prepare them for the highs and lows of running a business.

The host of 2.5% globally ranked podcast “Confidence Mastery” she also hosts a Mastermind and Retreats, helping other entrepreneurs to come to together and be successful in their health, wealth and happiness which brings her great joy seeing others succeed. A far cry from the life she used to live.

As a successful podcaster, Jeannette talks about the power of podcasting, what it can do for your business in terms of spreading your message, and how to start and scale a show of you own.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There's something intensely personal about hearing the voice of someone you follow. It's a direct connection between you and the listener.
Understand why you want to make a podcast in the first place. If you are clear on your "why" and it aligns with your values, you will be much more successful.
Pick a subject that you are passionate about. If you aren't in love with your subject matter then you will fall out of love with the process.
Consistency is key, Make sure you treat it seriously and commit to it as though it was a job. You don't want to come out quickly at the beginning and then find you can't keep up with the pace.

BEST MOMENTS

'I had no idea where it was going to lead'

'I love my podcast - I'm passionate about it'

'When you connect with someone through a podcast, you become a part of their life and routine'

'It'a very personal and special relationship between you and your listener'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to renowned theatre director, Luke Kernaghan, on the ways in which he has harnessed the power of his creativity to unlock success, the value of connections and how networking has accelerated his journey of growth, and why following your passions is the key to lifelong happiness when it comes to your career choice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There is no substitute for authenticity, and you cannot truly be yourself until you've asked the internal questions required.
Sometimes the forces that drive us are difficult to identify, and manifest themselves through instinct. We should always listen to our inner voice.
If we are able to identify our passions, and forge a career in that sector, then working becomes a privilege, and fulfilment is far easier to achieve.
Theatre in particular, thrives upon community. Those who are in the field, raise each other up and encourage support from all sides.

BEST MOMENTS

'Your energy is incredible. You clearly love what you do'

'My journey was not linear'

'You don't go into theatre to make money!'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Surveys have shown that only a fraction of people are happy and engaged with their jobs, but why is this so important? In this episode, Jeannette discusses the power of engagement, and how you can dramatically increase your workers' happiness levels and productivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Only 13% of people at work are happy with their jobs, and are fully engaged with their role and their organisation.
If you have a disengaged team, then you cannot hope to achieve the best results for your business.
If your people are not with you, then they won't be buying into the vision and values that you are working to build.

BEST MOMENTS

'A huge 87% are not engaged!'

'24% will actively sabotage the company they work for'

Rob Stewart is the leader of Swansea Council, and has spent the last two decades forging a highly successful career in politics and business.

In this episode, Rob joins Jeannette to talk about what it means to represent people in the political arena, why mindset matters so much when it comes to leadership, and the practical business lessons both learned and implemented that have turned him into a leader to be admired.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The ones who get things done and place themselves as effective leaders, are those who always have a "can do" attitude. If you're negative about your prospects, you're doomed to fail.
The pervasive image in the business world is that politicians do not understand their concerns. Coming from a business background himself has given Rob a real advantage.
Planning requires something of a reform. Swansea is spearheading this shift in order to allow more businesses to put their mark on the city.
Never discount the value that private enterprise can bring to an environment. Most companies are eager to improve their surroundings, which returns vitality for everyone.

BEST MOMENTS

'We've taken the hard yards. Now we need to do it at scale'

'I've tried to bring a can-do attitude'

'This isn't something you do lightly'

'Difficulty comes from inconsistency in thinking'

In this episode, Jeannette explains why taking smaller steps towards your goals might be the key to unlocking broader wins in the long term, and how you can stay focussed on the larger purpose behind your business aims.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We often become too obsessed with achieving the biggest results as fast as possible, but the smaller gains, made persistently, are the wins that truly turn the dial.
In 2003, the British cycling team had not won the Tour De France for over a hundred years, but a new coach took charge and applied a philosophy that required a holistic view of all elements of the team, improving them all in slight, small ways. This turned around the fortunes of the team in no time.
Your outcomes will lag behind your habits. Tiny changes don't show up immediately, but keep pushing and the results will follow.

BEST MOMENTS

'Just one percent can really make the difference between success and failure'

'Incremental gains is where you get incredible results'

'Unlock your greatness by being brave, bold and brilliant'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Steve Bolton, the founder and managing partner of Bolt Angels, an investment fund making waves in the industry. He is also a successful serial entrepreneur, professional mentor, and advisory board leader with over two decades' experience.

Steve joins Jeannette to talk about business, investing, how to make the most effective impact in life and your career, the magic word that changed his life, and how he turned his entrepreneurial journey around from the heights of success to failure and all the way back up again.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes it takes a fall to make us work for the rise. Just because you're down doesn't mean that you're out for good.
There is no substitute for the empowerment of a good mentor. If someone has walked the path before you, then it can help you to visualise your own route to success.
Having the gift of the money mindset can't be discounted. True entrepreneurs who understand the magic of making money are almost set for life as they will constantly see the ways to monetise.
Striking the right life balance is key to making sure your purpose keeps you driven. If you immerse yourself too much in one side, you'll forget the value of the other.

BEST MOMENTS

'I discovered a lifelong passion for coaching and mentoring'

'I was in an the deep end'

'I had an entrepreneurial seizure in my mid-twenties'

'He said the magic word that changed my life'

Jeannette talks about B-corp status in the wake of Elemis achieving this - including what it means, why it matters, the criteria involved, and what potential benefits it could provide for you as a business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Standing out from the crowd in the world of business is vital when you['re a business owner and leader.
Having a B-corporation accreditation, means that your business has been recognised as having world-leading environmental and social performance, transparency and accountability.
6000 companies in the world have B-corporation status - the process to achieving it is rigorous, and involves two hundred questions and areas in which you must meet criteria - winning a score of over 80+.
Customers and employees are becoming far more choosy about the products and services they buy, and the places they work with. Achieving this kind of accreditation is only ever a good thing in terms of attracting people to your business.

BEST MOMENTS

'As a business owner and leader, we're always trying to innovate'

'It's a very rigorous assessment!'

'If you have a clear purpose and a really clear reason why, it can allow you to stand out'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks about B-corp status in the wake of Elemis achieving this - including what it means, why it matters, the criteria involved, and what potential benefits it could provide for you as a business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Customers and employees are becoming far more choosy about the products and services they buy, and the places they work with. Achieving this kind of accreditation is only ever a good thing in terms of attracting people to your business.

BEST MOMENTS

'As a business owner and leader, we're always trying to innovate'

'It's a very rigorous assessment!'

'If you have a clear purpose and a really clear reason why, it can allow you to stand out'

Jeannette discusses the concept of rocks, pebbles and sand when it comes to a full life, and explains why it's always wise to get the fundamentals in place first before we fill our lives with the smaller elements, and better manage our time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The rocks stand for the important things in life. The pebbles are still important, but are more malleable. The sand represents all the other "stuff" - the noise and chaos.
If your jar is full of sand - the minutiae and rubbish - then you won't be able to fit any rocks. The sand should always fit around the rocks, not the other way around.

BEST MOMENTS

'We need to make sure that we spend our time on the right things'

'Make sure the rocks go into your jar first, the pebbles in afterwards, and the sand last'

Richie Jones is the MD and Founder of vvast, which specialises in encouraging two way conversations between businesses and their customer through eCommerce, branding and industry-leading marketing.

Richie joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating business journey, the path he's taken combining innovative technology and a glaring gap in the agency market, and how he ensures that his passions always combine with his profession to ensure happy, long term business impact.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

vvast was born from identifying the many weaknesses of the agency model, combined with a huge skills gap that exist within brands themselves.
The key to igniting long term engagement and loyalty, is to create tribes of clients who align perfectly with who you are and what you do.
The best way to make sure you're always at the forefront of innovation, is to imagine any challenge from the perspective of the consumer, and look for a solution that provides a frictionless outcome.
If you understand your "why", and if you are a purpose-led brand where people follow you religiously, you have to rely less on manipulations such as discounts and sales.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's been a varied journey with lots of learnings, for sure'

'We're a genuine extension of how the brand operates'

'Digital has a reputation for being a black art'

'They to being brave, bold and brilliant, is being centred in that moment'

ABOUT THE GUEST

Richie Jones has experienced both client side and agency life across multiple sectors. Having spent the majority of his career to date being just in front of the curve, he is now in the sweet spot having found his niche. Launching vvast has allowed Richie to blend his agency experience and brand expertise to deliver an innovative, low-capital entry to market for brands BUT crucially plugging them into a relentless R&D roadmap to accelerate revenue.

He is passionate about the concept of creative destruction and feels genuinely privileged to have seen the inception and gradual impact of ‘the internet’ on society and brands. Richie builds teams with a shared love of brand; a stoke for surfing, mountain biking and music; and a drive to deliver epic work.

Having embarked on our B Corp journey in 2021, Richie has discovered how aligned it is with his purpose for vvast. It is so much more than environmental impact – it’s about considering our contribution to the wider community and understanding the way we do business through an ethical lens.

Jeannette talks about quitting - whether it's always such a bad thing, and when there may be times or cases when it's more appropriate to quit and move on than to remain

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Quitting is often framed as something negative. It carries connotations of losing or failing at something, but there are also times when it makes positive sense to move on.
Many of us are striving for something - some purpose. We can hit roadblocks and challenges that hold us up on this journey.
If you are being blocked by a certain challenge, and it's derailing your path to success, then it's okay to reframe things. See the setback as a block between you and your purpose.
Never be afraid to take a different route towards your ultimate goal. You only have one life, so live it with your purpose in mind at all times.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's never always black and white'

'When do you actually need to pivot and change?'

'Your situation is unique to you. Your goals are unique to you'

'Make sure your dreams are bigger than your memories'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Fiona Jeffery has had a long and accomplished career working in the travel industry, responsible for World Travel Market (WTM) from 1986-2013 both as Managing Director and ultimately as Chairman.

Fiona joins Jeannette to discuss her incredible business journey, the most invaluable lessons learned along her rise to the top of her business sector, how it feels to have been awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth, and her impactful charity work in bringing safe water to communities across Asia, Africa and Latin America.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you set your goals towards helping other people, it requires a certain strength. Sometimes you're called upon to look at the tougher side of life.
When you work in a small team, it can be very rewarding. However, to truly make an impact, you need to think bigger.
Ideas are not always a hit from the off. Sometimes you need vision and patience in order to make them work.
Every decision we make needs to be taken with the future in mind. Consider the legacy that you're leaving behind and ask if the future would be proud of you.

BEST MOMENTS

'That background really shaped my life'

'I grew as the industry grew'

'How do we really make a positive contribution'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Jeannette explains the ways in which you can deliver long term growth and the strategies you've decided on as a business, at the same time as delivering the short term wins in your business and life without becoming overwhelmed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life isn't just about delivering on business aims - it's also about delivering on our personal concerns and striking a healthy balance between business and the fulfilment of our personal lives.
If all you do is focus upon today, then you will only ever deliver short term results. If you focus on the future and growth, you will potentially never get there because you're ignoring the short term.
Consider what is important and unimportant, as well as what is urgent and what is non-urgent. By adhering to this practice and prioritising tasks, we can ensure that we're always moving forward.

BEST MOMENTS

'Make sure you don't lose sight of the long term'

'The reality is that you have to do both'

'You need to learn to flip in and out, depending on where we are'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This week, it's Jeannette's turn to take the spotlight, as she appeared recently on the Mission Maker's Podcast, where she discussed her personal business tory as well as such empowering topics as building a business, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and how to ensure cohesion in the workplace between mentors, coaches, managers and the people who keep our organisations flowing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Having a purpose is the most important component in business, especially at the outset. it provides a beacon by which all decisions are made.
Even if we do not achieve the things we hope to, the very process of taking action can teach us valuable lessons about business and ourselves.
The teams you build, and the people you take along with you on your journey, are ultimately what will allow you, and them, to be successful.
If you are a leader, always strive for authenticity. Accept that you cannot possibly know everything, and use it as a strength. bring talent in and do not shy away from who you are. People buy into leaders that display vulnerability.

BEST MOMENTS

'You have to be really clear on what your reason why is'

'I'm fundamentally a good person who's trying to do the best for others'

'If you don't try, you'll never know'

'If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

To mark Internationals Women's Day 2023, Jeannette is here with a vital reminder to remember that, no matter what field we work in, we should always strive towards building diverse teams, and why doing so is so critical to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Being more diverse is not about being better or worse. It's about recognising differences, celebrating differences, and noting the wonderful similarities we all share.
Research has proven that diverse teams and boards perform better than non-diverse. The more you diversify, the more you represent your multi-varied customer base.
Once you identify where your organisation is, you can better recognise where you wish to be in the future.
In order to make significant progress, diversity should always be at the top of the business agenda. If you don't have this buy-in from the top, it's very difficult to drive change.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's about diversity in all its wonderful shapes and forms'

'What can we do to make sure we have a far more inclusive and diverse leadership?'

'Diverse teams in general achieve better results'

'Tap into the pool of talent from all diverse backgrounds'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Nick Balzan is the Chief Commercial Officer of Mangias Resorts and Clubs, and one of the most experienced business creatives in the world of travel and hospitality.

Nick joins Jeannette to talk about his inspiring business journey, the most insightful lessons he's learned during his swift ascent to success, the best ways to embrace the varied cultures and wonders of the world around you, and why you should always listen to your heart when it comes to chasing your dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We have to push ourselves to leave our comfort zones if we want to find true growth. Sometimes that means leaving the places we know and feel comfortable in, but the growth you experience by being more adventurous is invaluable.
When you find yourself in a new place and in the middle of a new culture, it's always best to embrace it as fully as possible. Be humble and be yourself, listen, learn and adapt.
To break away from one's past in pursuit of your dreams can be a tough call, but we need to remember that the life we're given is ours to live. Never be afraid to follow the voice of your heart when it tells you to hit the road in pursuit of your dreams.
Making changes in business should always be a team effort. You have to lead from the top, but never discount the voices of your team, and keep them involved whenever you can.

BEST MOMENTS

'I decided that I needed to make a change in my life'

'Be humble. Listen, learn and adapt'

'It was something I felt I had to do. It's something that he would be proud of'

Following on from how to build, Jeannette talks about exercising your strategic muscle - how to put your strategies into place, why we need a broad perspective, and how to deliver on the strategies that will lead to your mission's end.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we are busy and occupied, we focus upon the short term thinking, and fail to think longer term. But it's worth taking time to reflect on the future while also making the most of the present.
Consider your "what". This is your mission. Your vision is the roadmap that will take you to that mission's end.
A strategy is your "how" - how you get from your starting point to the mission's conclusion. Look at the bird's eye view and break it down into smaller, more actionable elements.

BEST MOMENTS

'You do need to have that longer-term view - where you're heading'

'Think of your "what" and your "why". These are the starting points for any good strategy'

'Within that overall strategic plan there are subsections'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Clair Preston- Beer who is a managing director at Greene King pubs sits down with Jeannette to talk about all things career, business, mindset, and navigating demerging and restructuring. They cover how Claire got to be a Greene King MD and how the pub industry is responding to the trials, tribulations, challenges, and opportunities that the current economic and social climate is creating. As well as discussing the importance of diversity in the sector.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Be the best version of yourself and be confident about who you are. Everyone has something special to offer.
During any restructuring, good communication while restructuring is even more important. You need to be clear about the reasons for changing things and create space in the business to implement the change.
You need to be present for whatever you are doing. Including for your family. Children, in particular, need you to be there for them and fully focused on them, during family time.
In today's digital world, pubs are one of the last places people come together and connect. Many communities still value them and have a sense of ownership, which is a good thing, but it can also make it hard to change things.
Keeping in touch and understanding your grassroots customers is essential. Analysing your data is important, but talking directly to your teams and customers is also vital.

BEST MOMENTS

'I wanted to go and find a business where people were at the heart of the customer experience.'

'When you are quite disciplined and organised, it can mean you actually get better about balance.'

'I’m also very passionate about making the hospitality spaces really accessible places.'

'Make sure the change is worthwhile'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE. If you’d like to jump on a free mentoring session just DM Jeannette at info@jeannettelinfootassociates.com

Jeannette explains why building your strategic muscle is vital, why looking forward is as important as the day-to-day running of a business, and the things you must do early on in order to get those plans up and running at the right time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you are a leader, it's important to be able to think strategically as well as operationally. Delivering day-to-day is crucial, but we must also look forward.
We should remember that our businesses do not operate in a bubble. They are connected to an external world of business and influence, which affect the initiatives we want to achieve.
Take a look at your macroeconomic environment. Look at what is going on in the external world - interest rates, inflation, unemployment, customer bases and market trends.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It's great to be able to brainstorm each of these factors as they play a part in your strategy going forward.

BEST MOMENTS

'In order to be able to grow and scale up, it's really important to think strategically'

'Thinking strategically is really around the big picture'

'We have to set the context for our strategic planning'

'Before you get into the detail, let's talk about what the context is that you need to pay attention to'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Sasha Covington is the COO for the valuation advisory team and Head of Diversity & Inclusion for JLL’s UK Valuation Advisory team, a position she's achieved after over three decades in the property industry.

Sasha isa real example of how hard work and dedication can result in life-changing career paths, and in this episode Sasha talks about her upbringing and what drove her all the way to the heights of success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The formal education system is something we all have to go through, but the more entrepreneurial minded are not ever put off by grades or assessments. You don't have to have straight As to make it in life.
The power of association is far more effective than we may realise. By associating with those we aspire to, it helps us to solidify ambition.
The gender roles in the workplace are improving, but there is still an inherent bias against the skills and talents of women.
When it comes to diversity, the question should always be who is the best person who can carry out the task required. We should look past cultural heritage and recognise those who can make our businesses better.

BEST MOMENTS

'There was a real lack of diversity in terms of gender'

'I've always stayed authentic to me'

'I did fit in, it's just that I was in a really weird environment'

'I make sure the right people are in the right seat with the right tools'

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the concept of the business chameleon - someone who moves from one situation to another, and how to effectively recognise the similarities between where we are now and where we want to be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we're currently in a position that we don't favour, it's important to think about where we want to be next. But often, we focus on new scenarios and see them as something separate.
You can't navigate the future by looking at the past. However, we can take the lessons from before and use them to guide our way.
Identify all the transferrable skills, contacts, lessons that you can take from one world to another. There will be far more than you may initially think.

BEST MOMENTS

'Where you are isn't really where you want to be, going forward'

'You can't drive a car by looking through the rear view mirror'

'We're being a chameleon. We're changing, but we're also protecting and retaining all the great stuff'

Jeannette meets Founder and CEO of Artist Collective, Evan Price, who has been working in and around the music industry since the age of fourteen, in artist management, digital marketing and coaching.

Evan talks about the way sin which he helps and nurtures artists and musicians, and how to bridge the gap between creativity and business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The best thing about any sector, creative or not, is that there is always an opportunity to add the business element to the creative element.
With the rise of technology and innovation, there is always the opportunity for growth and development. It takes a entrepreneurial perspective and a little bravery.
Learning business sense isn't something you can impart within a day or two. It takes mentorship and guidance - the following of someone else's example.
Focus upon one or two big things that really accelerate your path, and once you have, you can then break those things down into smaller, incremental steps.

BEST MOMENTS

'I slowly realised that this was the path for me - the business side of things'

'The challenge is to find a way to make the money'

'You've almost got polar extremes - creativity and business'

'Entrepreneurs are also creative problem solvers in business'

ABOUT THE GUEST

As Founder & CEO of Artist Collective, Evan Price has worn countless hats in the music industry. At the age of fourteen, he started a booking agency that promoted more than +100 shows, igniting his passion for the business. He then became involved in artist management with several Chicago acts, licensing, booking, digital marketing, and coaching. As a graduate of Columbia College, he used his Bachelor’s Degree in Arts & Entertainment Media Management in Music Business to build his own vision.

His mission is to transform artists into what he calls “artistpreneurs” and finally get them out of the 9-5s they hate and back to the music. By using the “M.C.S. Method” or ‘monetizable creative skillset’ Evan and his team can help creatives build a profitable business around the one thing they are the most passionate about. Who says your hobby can’t be your business? Drawing inspiration from the likes of Steve Jobs, Gary Vaynerchuck, and Donald Miller, he discovered the key to a successful brand: an outrageously compelling story. This drove Evan to teach musicians the art of clever storytelling to unlock their success through authentic vulnerability.

He has built a very engaged social media following reminding creatives to be self aware, empathetic to their audience, and unwavering in their pursuit of building their music business. His company Artist Collective was given the nod by Billboard magazine as one of the best resources for musicians during the COVID-19 Pandemic and he’s been featured on such programs as The Jam Tv show, Chance the Rapper’s SocialWorks, KissFM, Medium, and more.

Musicians and creatives interested in services can apply for the Artistpreneur Accelerator - a program designed to build, launch, and scale your creative business in 90 days! More information here http://www.artistcollect.com/apply

What are you doing to make sure that your business and teams are as diverse as possible?

In this episode, Jeannette tells you why diversity and inclusion are so important, and how you can begin the process of opening the doors to inclusion in your own business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's always worth asking, at each point in your business dealings, if the teams we assemble and nurture are as diverse as they can be.
Creating initiatives within our businesses in order to ensure that we get the best person for the job, allows the creation of a pipeline of talent.
It is constantly proven and upheld, that diverse teams, boards and businesses actually achieve better financial results. They also represent your customer base.

BEST MOMENTS

'You should have the best person for the job, but the reality is that sometimes we limit our potential'

'It's important because it's the right thing to do'

'You probably have a very diverse set of customers. Your teams should reflect that'

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.

Resh joins Jeannette to talk about her illustrious career so far, as well as what has driven her to not just thrive in the business world, but stake her unique claim in a sector built on her personal passions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Building a career for yourself on the things you're passionate about, always ensures that the fire in your belly stays hot enough to push you through the challenges you face.
Working int he corporate sector can be rewarding, but it can also take its toll on mental health. Always make sure you put yourself and your wellbeing first.
Expectations of others can often derail the true passions that light us up. Remember that your life is your own, and your path will be completely dissimilar to anyone else's - and that's okay!
In business, you always need to be looking towards the next step. If you aren't scaling, then you're in trouble. Growth is everything.

BEST MOMENTS

'The food thing was really nibbling at me'

The Chapati Club - https://www.chapaticlub.co.uk/about

ABOUT THE GUEST

Resh Sonchhatla and Heena Varambia are the couple behind chapati club, the cult west London Indian restaurant which celebrated its fourth birthday in April 2021. The business recently expanded into south London, with the launch of a delivery service based in
Bermondsey.
A couple for eleven years, neither Resh nor Heena had experience of running a restaurant when they took the lease on the site at 117 The Vale, in Acton, London W3. Resh had been working in the banking sector for seven years, which she found unfulfilling, while Heena was enjoying a successful career as an experience designer. Planning to start a family, they also wanted to bring more balance to their working lives.

Both women shared a lifelong passion for food, instilled in them from childhood by their large families, and having grown up in nearby Hounslow, Heena was a fan of the diverse, creative Acton area. The embryonic idea of opening a “non-traditional” restaurant serving “the food we grew up on” quickly became a reality when an ideal site became available; they put an offer in, which was accepted, and opened chapati club on 7th April 2017.For the menu, Resh and Heena looked to favourite recipes from their shared Indian-Kenyan heritage, including many handed down by their families. ‘Chicken G Dad’s Way’, for example, is Heena’s dad’s recipe, a dish so popular within her family that any time it’s made it leads to a large impromptu gathering. The ‘61’ in ‘Chicken 61’ meanwhile refers to Resh’s aunt’s house number, where she would go if she wanted to eat chicken, which her vegetarian mother wouldn’t cook.
Heena created chapati club’s modern, pared-back branding and visual identity, and oversees the creative side of the business, while Resh is responsible for the day-to-day running of the restaurant and is a familiar presence at almost every service. Both of their personalities are present in the music, another shared passion, putting together their own playlists which contribute to the restaurant’s lively, celebratory atmosphere.
As gay women of colour, Resh and Heena were initially wary of being an ‘out and proud’ LGBTQ+ business, but quickly found that this was a strength, with peers, suppliers and most importantly, customers, all embracing them. In its four years in business, chapati club has attracted a loyal, diverse clientele of regular ‘clubbers’ who value the inclusivity of the restaurant, whether they are dining with family, friends or indeed alone.
Resh and Heena strive to repay their community’s support by giving back to it where they can. Throughout lockdown, chapati club provided free meals for NHS frontline staff, and they have hosted fundraising and community events, including music and comedy nights, at the restaurant. They champion other local businesses, serving wines chosen for the restaurant by Vindinista, Acton’s boutique wine shop, and gelato from Duci in Chiswick.
While the business has grown with the expansion into south London, chapati club remains a very personal project for Resh and Heena. They are committed to offering an honest, consistent experience to all their customers, whether they are eating in the restaurant or at home. “Somehow,” they say, “we have attracted the most wonderful humans in west London, and we feel very lucky for that.”
Resh and Heena live in Windsor with their two children, a girl and a boy.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why networking is so crucial to success in your career, work, and personal life. She shares details of how you can make sure that you become an effective networker. Including how to get the most out of conferences and other events. All of the 10 tips she shares are easy to implement, yet extremely effective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Whether you realise it or not, you are already networking all the time. We are all constantly putting ourselves out there.
Before attending an event make a list of people you want to connect with and arrange a few meetings.
Put any documents that could prove useful on Google Drive, e.g., your pitch or anything that could enable you to close a deal. That way you can share it immediately.
Business cards are still handy, but you should also have a QR code people can use to pick up your contact details using their phone.
If you say you are going to do something for someone or follow up with them, make sure you do so,

BEST MOMENTS

‘We are all networking all of the time, whether you realise it or not. ´

‘Be very intentional, what is it you're trying to get out of the conference? Or the event that you're attending.’

‘Often the most effective business is done in a social environment,’

Bernard Ward is the Group Managing Director of Acorn Recruitment, one of the top 1% of recruitment agencies in the UK, and who passionately believe that "there’s more to recruitment than just filling vacancies".

Bernard talks to Jeannette about the importance of placing people at the centre of the equation when it comes to recruitment, the value of legacy when it comes to building relationships that last, and the best ways of attracting the best talent to your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we leave a company, it's important to leave on good terms. We never know what might happen in the future, or how poor decision making will impact a future aim or goal.
The sectors we're drawn to often evolve and change. The key is to always keep up with what's important, enhance your knowledge where possible, and apply yourself to becoming the best in your field.
There has always been a huge demand for the best people, but with the advent of the high cost of living, demand has certainly increased for higher salaries, regardless of the sector.
Your onboarding process is absolutely key. You must ensure that your training and development at the outset supplies people with the skills they need to do the job.

BEST MOMENTS

'Your legacy is what people judge you on'

'It's come along a hell of a road over the last 25 years'

'There are always economies of scale'

'There's always been a war on talent'

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette shares ten incredible, empowering tips to make sure your year starts with a bang, and keeps you accelerated throughout so that you can defeat challenge, push through obstacles and hit your goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You need to gain crystal clear clarity about what your goals are and cut the waffle that will bring on resistance. Remove distractions and write down what it is you want to achieve.
Now is the best time to declutter and remove the flotsam and jetsam that you just don't need any more. A clear space leads to a clear mind.
Don't let other people weigh you down or hold you back. If people are baggage then think about freeing yourself. People who hold you back are preventing you from achieving more.
Random acts of kindness are the key to creating a better world around you. 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?'

'Make space for the new growth to come'

'If you can lead with value, that will come back to you tenfold'

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 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.

'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'

Put any documents that could prove useful on Google Drive, e.g., your pitch or anything that could enable you to close a deal. That way you can share it immediately.

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'

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!'

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'

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

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. I'm all curiosity'

'Don't be afraid to try, because it's okay to fail'

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'

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'

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.’

Jeannette Linfoot, who from humble beginnings in Manchester, is now a business coach and mentor with a wealth of experience in travel, leisure, and hospitality and runs her own property business. 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.’

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

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.’

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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

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?’

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.

Laurence Newman is the founder and CEO of CurrentBody. The first company to recognise one of the fastest-growing trends in the world of beauty.

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

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

ABOUT THE GUEST

Amanda Matthews got into travel from an early age. 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.

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

ABOUT THE GUEST

Paul Thorburn was born to Welsh parents in West Germany in 1962 where his father was serving in the Royal Air Force. 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 Union as a Special Projects Manager, a role which included working on the pre-event preparations for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and assisting the Official Hosts, France in delivering the event. As well as overusing the Commercial programme for the Welsh Rugby Union, securing sponsorship for International events, as well sponsorship for the domestic rugby programme in Wales, also securing and managing the Licensing programme – merchandise etc.

In 2006, John was appointed Strategic Development Manager for the Ospreys, one of the professional rugby clubs in Wales. In essence, he oversaw the commercial programme for the club, securing sponsorship, and all other income generation activities.

In 2010, John left the world of rugby, setting up his own Business Development consultancy, where he works alongside a handful of diverse organisations, assisting them in securing contracts with private and/or public sector clients, working in the construction, financial services, telecoms, and recruitment arenas.

John is also the Secretary of Cardiff Business Club, one of the longest established clubs in the UK, which has HRH The Prince of Wales as its patron.

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

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?’

View Details

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.’

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.

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.

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).’

Genuinely, being there for your customers builds strong relationships with them and creates loyalty.

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

JAMES COLE

Founder & Managing Director, Panache Cruises

James Cole is one of the UK’s best-known and respected cruise retailers and began his career in cruise more than 23 years ago when he worked as Product & Commercial Manager with Airtours Sun Cruises.

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.

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.

‘If you can navigate the bad times, the good times usually look after themselves.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Mark Homer is an experienced property investor, developer, business owner and Co-Founder of Progressive Property. 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 Income.

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.’

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.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Leading motivational speaker, author and coach Michael Finnigan has been transforming businesses, sporting teams and individuals since 1992, after several years of studying and mentorship under the late, great W Clement Stone and his ‘people genius’. 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 session with Michael and i2i is phenomenal and the results achieved after applying the knowledge gained speak to his effectiveness.

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

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

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.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you know that there's more for you, then this session is going to be perfect for you. ´

‘What are you doing for your personal development?’

‘I have to work on my mindset, my self-belief, every single day.’

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 Miracle Morning: The 6 Habits That Will Transform Your Life Before 8AM

View Details

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Lord John Bird – Biography

Today, I'm The Lord Bird MBE. 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. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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

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

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

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. 1

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.’

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.’

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.’

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.’

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.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Gerald Ratner was born in London and based his philosophy of business on his experiences as a boy in Petticoat Lane Market. 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.

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. ´

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.’

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.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Dr. Nancy Allen became a GP in 2002 and climbed the ranks to become a partner and GP educator. 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.’

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.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the need to network, and show people what you have to offer. She explains how to get over the fear of putting yourself out there. Covering how to navigate a room, bolster your confidence and make the most of every opportunity.

Jeannette shares a simple five-step process anyone can use to get started, or restarted, with networking.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Putting yourself out there, with confidence, is a vital part of networking. Set your mind in the right way. Be positive, expect to succeed and you will. Have a voice, speak out. Never worry about getting everything right. Imperfection is a sign of authenticity. Think about how you can help the other person. Hold your hand up until you get attention. Network outside of your organisation as well as internally. Never take a break from networking, always be renewing those relationships. Set yourself some measurable goals to improve your networking efforts.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Your network is your net worth. ´

‘Never think that you don't have something important to contribute because you so so do.’

‘You do not want to be the best-kept secret in the world…. Just give it a go.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Nick Irving, the Director, and Head of Aviation Practice at Howgate Sable. He explains how they are expanding the business and entering new international markets.

They discuss how CoVid has changed the industry and why it has become harder to recruit aviation executives. Nick also talks about how the industry managed during the pandemic. In particular, how they changed the way people worked very quickly and dealt with having to suddenly let a lot of employees go. Nick also shares several tips that anyone who wants to maximize their potential and advance their career can use.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding where the business is and what direction they are moving in is an important part of executive recruitment. Sometimes you have to tell a company that they do not pay enough to attract the right types of candidates. The aviation industry is rebounding faster than expected, after CoVid. A lot of talent has left the aviation industry as a result of CoVid. It forced people to re-evaluate how they were living and working. There are lots of jobs out there, but it is really hard to fill those roles with good people. Networking is the key to being noticed and approached when important positions open up. Treat people with the same respect when they leave as you do when you welcome them to your business. To be a good leader you do not have to be academically bright, but you do need to be streetwise. Network, look for opportunities, and accept help from mentors. Know yourself and be true to what you are good at.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We will whittle that list down to a shortlist of three or four and present it formally to our customer. ´

‘If you focus on performance, the results will always come.’

‘I´ve had mentors all the way through. Sometimes without me even knowing 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.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mike Batcup who is a designer, architect, and the director of Batcup Architecture. He provides an insight into the role an architect plays in helping clients to create new buildings or transform existing ones. Including providing an overview of the main pitfalls involved in this process. Mike shares advice about managing the planning process, budgeting, dealing with the party wall act and several other subjects.

He and Jeannette also discuss why investing in property is still worth considering. Including talking about the current state of the UK housing market and what is likely to happen in the near future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Architects guide their clients so that they end up with the building they wanted. The more you tell an architect about what you want to achieve the better the result will be. You need to be flexible when building or reforming a property. Cost analysis and planning are critical. Always slightly overestimate the costs. Never try to shortcut the planning process. Doing so always turns out badly, in the end. The party wall act is there to resolve disputes between neighbours and protects both parties when work needs to be done. The act requires you to notify neighbours of work, but they cannot stop you from doing it. If you invest in property. Over the long term, you will normally make a profit. At some point, the UK property market is likely to slow. In London, the value is not in the bricks and mortar, it is in the land. It is not unusual for people in London to buy property, and then knock it down. Be careful about what you get involved in. Pause regularly and review what you are doing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Part of our job is to show the client that they can actually achieve more than perhaps they were thinking of. ´

‘Do it properly. Do not try to cut corners.’

‘Your future will be what you make it.’

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to 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 Jo Balfour, managing director of The Cambridge Rare Disease Network (CRDN). She explains how she went from being a teacher to setting up and running a charity that provides support for the thousands of people with, often untreatable, rare diseases. She and Jeannette cover a wide range of subjects. They discuss how Jo learned to push herself well beyond her comfort zone to grow her skill set and achieve more within her work life.

They talk about, why rare diseases impact far more people than we realise. They discuss the work CRDN, HealX and others do to help people impacted by rare diseases to get their voices heard. An approach that is proving to be highly effective. One that is leading to change. Including better facilities for the disabled, faster diagnosis, more targeted research, new drug, and treatment options. All of this is achieved through rare disease communities that are made up of people who support each other.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There are around 8,000 rare diseases. Only 5% can be effectively treated. With rare diseases, data is powerful. If you think something is not quite right health or development-wise, keep a diary of issues. Find your tribe. Seek out others in a similar situation. They will provide highly targeted guidance and support. Get involved, and share. Charities need the experience and voices of the people they are there to help. Eighty percent of rare diseases are genetic, so genome sequencing is proving to be an important diagnostic tool. When running a charity that helps people it is vital to listen to those you are trying to help. When working with large groups of people with quite different needs, find the common threads, the core challenges. When you address and find effective solutions for the core challenges you help everyone. Don´t be afraid to take risks and apply for jobs you are not 100% ready for. Learn on the job. Work collaboratively. Recognise and welcome other people´s skills and experience. If you have a passion that drives you, everything will eventually fall into place. Cash donations and fundraising are great. But giving your time and sharing your skills is also a powerful way to help a charity. Big problems get solved step by step. Take that first step. Start with the basics.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I can´t believe I was that brave person who thought I was really ready for those jobs. ´

‘If you have a passion, the passion will drive your desire to learn.’

‘Just take a risk, learn on the job. You can almost create a role for yourself.’

‘Find your community. You are not alone. There are lots of people out there in the same boat as you.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why when it comes to networking, sometimes tapping into the power of the old relationships you have is better than building new ones. She shares several easy and relatively quick ways to reconnect with people. Or to connect in different ways with people you are already regularly in contact.

´An approach that has yielded exceptionally good results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We all expend a lot of energy chasing new followers and making new connections while neglecting the connections we already have. Go through old business cards, emails, and your phone to get a list of people to reconnect with. Tap into the power of social media. Think about how you can help the people when you reconnect with them. Reach out in a meaningful way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Go back through your phone and reconnect with those old contacts. ´

‘Have a think about how you can help those refreshed contacts.’

‘I am a huge believer in the law of reciprocity. I think what goes around comes around’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to David Lopez, the Managing Director of Iberostar Group. He spent 15 years working in the hotel industry. During that time, he has worked in several countries, including Colombia, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. He worked his way through the ranks to become a managing director, which means he has direct experience of most hotel-related jobs.

David explains to Jeannette how the hotel business adapts according to the seasons, the nationality of his guests, local customs, and economic factors. They discuss how to manage this level of change. As well as how to manage a diverse workforce to get the best out of them.

KEY TAKEAWAY The hotel business is in a constant state of flux. Every nationality of guest has a different set of requirements and expectations, which need to be accommodated. It is essential to speak to guests and to stand back and observe. This enables you to notice issues as they are developing. Don´t be closed-minded. Ask your staff for their input, listen carefully, and implement any good ideas. If you have members of staff that have experience that you don't have and be particularly open to their ideas. Working in the hotel industry is a great way to learn new skills and do so quickly. When you face challenges and difficulties, remind yourself that it is making you stronger.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about raising finance to fund growth. How to do so with confidence, so that you quickly source the funds you need at the best rates.

She starts by looking at the different reasons businesses need finance. Understanding what you want to achieve plays a big role in how you approach the task of doing so. As does whether you want to borrow for the short or long term. How to weigh all of this up and make the right decision is explained, in this episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Even small business may need to borrow. For example, to cover start-up costs. At some stage, you may need finance to help you with your running costs. Most businesses need extra funds during growth stages. Start with the end in mind. Be crystal clear about what you want to achieve, how you will do it and the costs. Avoid raising too much and wasting money on debt you don´t actually need. Be clear whether you need short or long-term financing. Investors can contribute more than cash to your business. But you have to be extra careful when choosing one. Always know your numbers.

BEST MOMENTS

‘To expand your product, your offering geographically often requires finance. ´

‘Start with the end in mind, be clear about what you want the money for.’

‘Ask yourself, what is it you´re looking for from an investor, over and above just the money.’

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Allan Kleynhans who has been described as a Lexicon of human development and potential. He has studied psychology, philosophy, the behavioural sciences, and consciousness for 33 years. Now, he is an international motivational speaker and coach.

Allan talks about how growing up in apartheid South Africa and his time in the military affected him and led him to working to help others. He explains how he learned to turn what were awful experiences into something beneficial. Including how he faced up to the things he had done and witnessed and learned from them. In the process, becoming a force for good. Allan also speaks about becoming a sought-after public speaker.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all have significant emotional events that shape us as human beings. Hard times teach us a lot, but they also leave a mark. We all need to learn how to look for the gift in the challenge. Turn adversity into a benefit. Remember everyone is going through their own battles. Be kind to yourself and others. Often, just smiling at someone is enough to give them a lift. Even if you are terrified of public speaking, do it. You will grow in confidence and transform your life. When you reach the point where you are comfortable with who you are the world opens up to you. Stop worrying about what people think. They are going to judge you anyway, so just be the best version of yourself. Learning to engage with other people is one of the most powerful things you can do. Get rid of the idea you should not speak to strangers. You have to connect with others to get things done. Everything is energetically connected, so there is always some sort of benefit to whatever we do. Reading is a great way to learn, inspire yourself, and help you to cope with bad times. Be brave enough to be yourself and let your light shine.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Growing up in that kind of environment, on the street, is very brutal. ´

‘I believe, with conviction, ... that every single adversity has within it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.’

‘One of the most powerful things you can do is to learn to speak in public.’

‘Stop fighting against yourself all the time.’

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.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Grow-Rich-Napoleon-Hill/dp/1973930994/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2CHO9NQXZNYQF

ABOUT THE GUEST

Allan Kleynhans is a walking lexicon of human development and potential, having studied psychology, philosophy, the behavioural sciences, and consciousness for 33 years and counting. His vast knowledge and expertise as a passionate and highly skilled facilitator on the subjects of human behaviour, communication, self-mastery, conscious leadership, and spiritual psychology have helped many thousands of people to make significant personal and professional breakthroughs. He loves helping people transcend the limiting mental constructs of their human psyche to create lives of true fulfilment, outrageous success, and authentic self-expression.

Inspired at a young age by Napoleon Hill’s classic work, ‘Think and Grow Rich,’ Allan’s search for answers was driven by his own significant problems. When he discovered the book, he was suffering from severe post-traumatic stress caused by his time serving as a soldier in the Angolan war. His PTSD led to other problems, including emotional distress, severe anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. His quest for knowledge and understanding led him to many different modalities for transformation. He has studied and worked with the biggest names in the self-improvement industry.

Allan created his own workshop, 'AWAKEN', which allows participants to deeply explore the principles of human potential, spiritual psychology, and personal transformation. The workshop helps people to understand their true spiritual nature, which allows them to transcend their limiting mental paradigms, transform their problems into opportunities and find their true purpose here on earth.

He is a master facilitator and has been teaching and facilitating workshops for 20 years. He is also in high demand globally as a keynote speaker and has shared stages with Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuk. As a Master Coach, he has coached and worked with large, medium, and small organisations including major banks, large retail brands, CEOs, small business owners and entrepreneurs, military, and police personnel, and professional sports personalities, including members of the South African Springbok Rugby and Netball teams. In 2004 he worked with the Natal Sharks Rugby team in South Africa, helping them to a winning season.

Allan is direct, transparent, and thought-provoking – his intense, authentic style on the platform keeps his audiences riveted and has earned him rave reviews globally. He has been described as ‘brilliant, and articulate, a moving and inspiring speaker with a passion for people and a real desire to make a difference.’

Drawing from his own life experience and personal transformation, he is guaranteed to bring your conference or meeting to life with his dynamically entertaining and unconventional style. His passion, expertise, and deep knowledge of his subject matter ensure he will add massive long-term value to your audience. More than just ‘rah-rah,’ Allan leaves his audiences with real take-home value and practical tools that help expand this value through time.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to James Muse who is a successful property entrepreneur and investor. He started his working life as an electrician. Then, branched out into installing solar panels and renewable energy systems. They talk about the sacrifices you have to make to be successful in business, being brave enough to make big changes, and how to adapt to moving in different social and work circles.

James and Jeannette discuss running a business with your life partner. Including dealing with differences of opinion and enabling each person to play to their strengths. James also talks about the pros and cons of the various property business models he and Laura are currently involved in.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is easy to let running your business swallow up all of your time. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to change your life for the better, in the long run. Once you decide something is right for you, don´t give up. Don´t be put off by what others say. The people you associate with have a big impact. They can facilitate what you are trying to achieve or stand in your way. Putting in place processes makes any business far more efficient. Periodically, pause and track where your time is going. That helps you to work more efficiently and keep your life in balance.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I thought to myself, I need a business that can earn money without me being at the centre of it. ´

‘We traced where our time went in a week and the results were shocking.’

‘Make sure that you enjoy the journey.’

‘Be prepared to do the things others won´t.’

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 about evaluating and grabbing opportunities. This dovetails nicely into a previous episode where she explained the various ways you can grow a business. Using the information she provides here, will enable you to be able to quickly determine which options and opportunities are the right ones for you and your business.

This is especially important, because, often, we cannot see the wood for the trees. A state of mind that leads to inaction, stagnation, and ultimately failure. Putting what Jeannette shares into action, will ensure that is no longer an issue for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Very often we can´t see the wood for the trees. We can´t identify the right path, so end up doing nothing or making snap choices. Regardless of the size or type of business, you are running the principles Jeannette shares in this podcast are the same. Identify the inorganic and organic options for growth. Jeannette shares examples and explains how to capture them. Score each opportunity against a list of criteria e.g., setup cost and risk. Give yourself headspace when doing this. The assessment method shared in this episode can also be used to make decisions about which opportunities to pursue in your personal life.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When you start opening your eyes and ears, you raise your vibration and suddenly there´s a myriad of opportunities. ´

‘It´s about scaling up with confidence having done a proper assessment of the different options available to you.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Jeremy Jacobs who has founded, run, and successfully sold 10 companies, in just 15-years. Before this, he created and managed multi-million-pound marketing campaigns for some of the world´s biggest brands.

He explains how to shut out the voices and make decisions that are right for you. Something Jeremy did when he closed his multi-million-pound business and walked away. They discuss the role failure plays in improving your life and how to turn it into a positive. Jeremy also talks about living with ADHD, depression, and dealing with addiction. He also shares details of his new podcast which will help people to live the life they really want and set up businesses that fit in with that lifestyle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You need to focus on what works for you. Give yourself permission to stop. Don´t be afraid to ditch a toxic lifestyle. Your business or career is just one aspect of who you are. More people are pushing back against the idea that success should be measured primarily in terms of your material possessions. Build your business around your life. Not your life around your business. You have to select your thoughts in the same way you select what you wear, every day. Seek out people you can trust and openly discuss your personal issues with them. Understand and practice self-love and self-care. Weigh things up, but don´t forget to listen to and trust your gut feeling.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is really difficult to shut out all those voices and make a decision for you. ´

‘Give yourself permission to stop and change.’

‘I´m going to build a business around my life. Not a life around my 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.

In this episode, Jeannette covers the subject of scaling a business or a department you run for a large organisation. The advice she shares is from personal experience. She has successfully done both of these, many times throughout her 29-year corporate career. Jeannette has set up, grown, and is currently running three six-figure businesses. She has also supported many of her mentees through the process of massively scaling their businesses. So, you can be sure that the advice in this episode works and is highly practical.

She walks you through the options. The different approaches you can use to scale a business. Then, she explains how to choose the ones that will work best for you and the type of company you run.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Regardless of the size of a business, the approaches that can be used to scale them are the same. How you can apply them is what determines which approaches should be used and in what order. Making your existing business work harder is organic growth. In the podcast, Jeannette shares 12 of the approaches she has used, including examples. Adding a new form of distribution, e.g., in-store pick-up or selling online enables you to reach new types of customers. Increasing prices to make a higher profit, but doing so without losing customers. Segmenting your customer base improves your understanding of them, then improves your ability to target them effectively. Improving cash flow makes it possible to scale faster. Mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures are examples of inorganic growth. All of which Jeannette has done many times. Make sure your values are aligned before merging with another company. It´s not all about the finances. Acquiring a competitor is an extremely fast way to grow your market share.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Regardless of the size of your business, the (scaling) options are pretty much the same. ´

‘I have personally done a lot of mergers and acquisitions …. Some with values of £600 million.’

‘Review your supplier base and the commercial terms you have with that supplier.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Lindsay Garvey-Jones and Julie Nunes. Two inspiring leaders from the travel sector. They talk about, the often-taboo subject of menopause. Something that impacts society as a whole as well as the women who are suffering from the, often debilitating, symptoms of menopause.

They do this partly by sharing their own experiences and what is helping them. Including how the menopause has impacted them physically, mentally, and emotionally. In the process of doing that, they discuss, sex during menopause, HRT, herbal remedies, diet, exercise, and sleep. Including talking about the things anyone can do to support themselves while their body adapts. They also discuss how business owners can make, often small changes, to support their employees better. Making it easier for women to continue to work despite their menopausal symptoms.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The menopause is not a female-only topic. It affects everyone. Including the family, friends, and colleagues of women who are going through it. There are 35 symptoms of menopause. Being self-aware will help you and your doctor to manage your symptoms. Seek out a GP that understands the menopause. Not all of them do. Mental health is a big issue. Yet, often, the wrong treatment is prescribed. Invest in yourself. You have one body to carry you through life so need to be kind to it. Don´t ignore or just live with vaginal dryness. Doing so can lead to problems with your urinary tract. Speak to your partner about sex and be open to exploring new ways of enjoying sex together. In the UK, 900,000 women have left the workforce due to menopause symptoms. With a little support, many of them could have continued to work and contribute. Currently, most workplaces do not provide support. But this is set to change. How, is discussed in the podcast. There are lots of free things businesses can do to make things easier. Men need support too. Why that is and how they can be supported is discussed in the podcast.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The symptoms of the menopause can actually last for up to 20 years. ´

‘Every single GP practice, in the UK, should have a practitioner that is dedicated to the menopause.’

‘Men really suffer as well and sometimes feel a bit ashamed that they haven´t supported their partners.’

In this episode, Jeannette walks you through how to change your thinking to maximise your results. She explains how you can go from thinking that things are impossible to realising that, with the right approach, most things are actually highly attainable.

A change in mindset will enable you to grow and get positive results in your work and personal life. What Jeannette shares in this episode, is the approach she has used to change her own mindset and achieve amazing results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Have a growth mindset instead of a scarcity mindset. Believing that there are no limits for you is an effective way to maximise your potential. When you come up with an idea or goal, don´t immediately try to work out the nitty-gritty of how you will make it happen. If you do that you will quickly feel overwhelmed and give up. Use visualisation to boost your confidence to the point where you understand that you can achieve big positive changes. Armed with that confidence, the steps you need to take will begin to become clear to you. The only limits that exist are the ones we put on ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can go from impossible to possible, and ultimately generate results, by creating a growth mindset. ´

‘The art of possibility becomes so compelling that you almost can´t do anything but take action.’

‘You go from impossible, to possible, to probable and then you just keep pushing 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 Dan Hulbert, a property entrepreneur, and investor who has been involved in the industry for more than 20 years. During which time, he and his partners have built and run many different kinds of property portfolios.

Dan and Jeannette talk about how property networking led to him building his own portfolio. Something he started out by doing, using other people´s money. Dan explains how working on your personal development, knowing yourself, understanding your skillset, and sticking to your values enables you to build a solid business. He also shares several tips that property investors can use to create and seal profitable deals,

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is possible to start investing in property, by using other people’s money To be successful in property you need good communication skills because there are a lot of individuals involved in getting a property ready for rent or sale. Work on yourself, regardless of what is going on around you. Don´t be afraid to employ people to do the work for you. Your profits will be lower, but it is better than trying to do it all yourself and failing. The bigger your business gets, the more important it is to have good planning skills. Only work with people that share your values. Don´t be afraid to say no, even to big projects that are not a good fit for you. Always pause and calmly assess each opportunity. But be careful not to overthink. Words are powerful. They make or break deals. Dan shares several examples of how slightly changing what you say makes a positive difference. Understand what the other person wants from the deal you are offering. If you can´t provide it, don´t be afraid to move on to someone else. When hiring builders use recommendations. But still do your due diligence.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Networking has always been part of my life. So, I started connecting people, as a business. ´

‘Working on myself and personal development, for me, is a never-ending pursuit.’

‘Just make sure that you know what they want and that fits with what you’re offering.’

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Dan Hulbert is a property investor and developer with over 20 years of practical experience in construction and property. He has built a portfolio by himself and with other business partners which now stands at over 1,800 properties across the UK that they either managed, controlled, or owned.

Dan started ‘on the tools’ in construction, to then become a hands-on landlord building his own portfolio. He now utilises his and his business partners' complementary skill sets and experience to invest and develop together nationwide.

In this episode, Jeannette explains the difference between strategy, vision, mission, purpose, and values. Helping you work out where to start when it comes to strategic planning and what to focus on to have the most impact.

She does this by sharing a very simple way of thinking about how everything hangs together.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is all too easy to get bogged down by strategy planning and implementation. The what is what you are trying to achieve. Your mission and goals. Identifying who is responsible for achieving each goal and how they will do it, is essential. The how, is a roadmap. How you are going to get from point A to point B. A strategy does not have to be complicated. You need an overarching strategy. In addition, you may need to create individual strategies for each area of your business e.g., sales, distribution, etc.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We´re talking about the what, why, who, and how of a strategic framework. ´

‘A good strategy allows people to make decisions and allocate resources to achieve key objectives.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Roger Flynn who is an investor and Non-Executive Director for a combination of media, technology, and travel businesses. Before this, he enjoyed a long career as an executive for several leading international firms like British Airways, the BBC, and Prudential. Including working for Richard Bransom, from whom he learned a huge amount.

They talk extensively about how to make the transition between CEO, chair, and non-exec. Including looking at the differences between the roles. They also discuss the three main things Roger looks for when deciding which businesses to invest in. He also explains how business owners can make their company look more attractive to potential investors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Don´t waste time and energy trying to be something you are not. Know yourself and stick to your values. Do what you are really interested in, when you do you will stay engaged and do well. You cannot afford to surround yourself only with people who think like you. If you do, it is impossible to make balanced decisions. Potential investment businesses must be operating in markets that have positive characteristics. Before investing, look at the management team and ask yourself whether they have the necessary skills to step up when the business takes off. Starting with the end goal in mind will help you to make good decisions. When seeking investment, make sure that the way you and your investors work is aligned. Don´t be afraid of failure or of managing radical change. If you trust people to do amazing things, they will never let you down.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Be yourself. If you try to be something different you are just going to trip over yourself. ´

‘If you surround yourself with people like you… you´re not going to make the best decisions.’

‘Aim for the moon because you might just get there.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Justine Nunn, whose partner Alex Flynn recently passed away, from altitude sickness, just after he had summited Mira Peak, in Nepal. Alex had Parkinson´s, but he did not let that stop him from living his life to the full and helping others. He worked tirelessly to raise awareness and provide practical support to those living with Parkinson´s. Justine was with him every step of the way. She is now working to carry Alex´s legacy forward.

Jeannette and Justine talk about how Alex found the strength to run through Jungles, across America, London, Rome, and ultra-marathons, despite his disease. They talk about the symptoms of this extremely common disease and what to look out for. Justine also explains how she, Alex, and their boys adapted to the impact Parkinson´s had on their family lives. Justine also talks about how society treats people with the disease and how things need to change.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One in 15 people will be diagnosed with Parkinson´s and the numbers are growing. Parkinson´s affects people of all ages. It is not an old person´s disease. It cannot be cured. But it can be managed through diet and exercise. Parkinson´s is a personal journey. It is different for everyone. People with Parkinson´s can be fully productive members of staff. Often, with only minor adaptations. For Alex, a qualified lawyer, getting a job was impossible. This is often the case for people with Parkinson´s. Often, it is little tweaks in the way things are done that make a big difference to how easy it is for people with Parkinson´s to live their lives.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There was no challenge that wasn´t big enough for him (Alex) to go for. ´

‘Parkinson´s is not an old person´s disease.’

‘People need to understand… inclusion needs to be there.’

‘Businesses need to see the person as opposed to the disease.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks through the different reasons a business may need finance. Then explains when to raise those funds, how to do it, and how to ensure that it is spent as intended.

KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of businesses are not clear enough about why they want to raise finance. Good liquidity is important. Jeannette shares six examples of how it enables companies to grow. You need to understand how you are going to deploy the funds before borrowing. This impacts what type of finance you raise. If you are giving away equity to raise funds, be particularly careful. Don´t give too much equity away, too soon. Look at the ROI, before borrowing. When seeking out investors, look for ones that can enhance your business in other ways.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Start with the end in mind. ´

‘If you are going to be giving away some equity in your business to raise funds…know what you are going to be using the money for.’

‘What are the other qualities you are looking for from an investor?’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Amy Rowlinson who is a leader in purpose and fulfilment, whose Focus on WHY podcast is listened to in 102 countries. She is the owner of multiple businesses and a sought-after public speaker as well as being a life purpose and business coach.

Amy and Jeannette discuss, identifying your why, building confidence, and becoming a better communicator. They also share several life purpose, podcasting, and public speaking tips during this episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Often, identifying what works for you is an evolutionary process rather than a light bulb moment. Understanding what you really want out of life - your why, is vital. There are several ways to identify your why, which Amy and Jeannette discuss in the podcast. Personal development is essential, prioritise it. Do it in tandem with other forms of learning. Journaling is extremely powerful. Understand your audience and think about what they need. Slow down and incorporate pauses, this settles your nerves while increasing impact. Prepare your voice before speaking publicly. Amy explains how to do that. Be open to opportunity. Improvement does not mean constantly learning new things. Getting better at what you do is just as important.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s not the goals… it’s the deeper legacy that you want to leave behind.’

‘I want people to listen, to take action, and then make a difference in their own world.’

‘Focus on plan A, don´t have a plan B. If you have a plan B you are not going to be committed to Plan A.’

In this episode, Jeannette explains how relatively little changes can make a huge difference in how effective you are. They really can maximise your results, enabling you to get stand-out results. Taking you from struggling to get by to securing financial freedom and achieving other important life goals.

Jeannette shares the three-part system she has used to achieve this for herself. An approach she now uses to help the people she mentors to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Financial freedom provides you with choice and flexibility. You need to genuinely believe in yourself and what you are doing. Your brain is a muscle that had to be trained. Prioritise personal development. Where you focus generates energy. Celebrate the wins, stop, and enjoy them. It fuels and energises you. Stop floundering, become clear about your purpose. Set firm measurable goals and define the actions you need to take to achieve them. Prepare yourself for change. This will stop you from self-sabotaging. Understand and be aware of where you are within the 5-stage change cycle everyone goes through.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Belief plus purpose plus action equals results. ´

‘Put personal development at the top of your agenda.’

‘Create a physical reminder of what you´re aiming for.’

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 Julia Lo Bue-Said who is the CEO of the Advantage Travel Centres group. She became a leading voice and effective advocate for the travel industry, during the CoVid pandemic. Julia has also won multiple travel business awards. Including, The Travel Legend Award, in October 2021.

They discuss Julia´s 25-year career. Including, how to overcome some of the challenges women in the workplace still face and handling the transition from an operational role to being CEO. As well as how to deal with the media, learning to speak out and doing so in a way that leads to positive change. Julia also explains how she copes with being in the public eye. Including how she has learned not to let the added scrutiny affect her judgment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Moving from an operational role to one that requires you to take a helicopter view is tricky. In the podcast, Julia shares how she managed that transition. Focus on having the right people in place for the business. You want people who want your job and can fill any gaps. We all need to call out sexism and racism to make sure that it is not normalised. Be yourself and recognise that nobody can be perfect. Be clear about where your focus needs to be. In the podcast, Julia shares some tips to help you to do this. Never be afraid to admit you don´t know how to do something and ask for advice. Don’t be afraid of being honest. Regular, honest, and open communication has been crucial for navigating the pandemic. Do your research before speaking to the press. You must know your subject. Check the news stream before an interview to pick up on shifts and anticipate what you may be asked during an interview. Not being afraid to fail creates opportunities that would not otherwise be available to you. Go for it, because if you don´t someone else will come along and take your spot.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I have no issue at all around saying to people, I have no idea what to do here and taking advice.’

‘Think about those things that you can actually make an impact with and what you can control.’

‘Don´t be afraid to fail.’

‘Out of all of those challenges, there is always opportunity.’

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 speaks about turning adversity into opportunities, which is something many people were surprised to find was possible during the CoVid pandemic. Jeannette takes a look at some of the main issues most businesses faced and shares how some were able to find solutions, which gave them a competitive edge.

In the podcast, Jeannette demonstrates how some of her mentor clients have done that. Then goes on to share the details of her new Business Discovery Session she is running to help others to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

During the pandemic, some business sectors were decimated. But others thrived. You cannot ignore the challenges you face. But you also need to look for opportunities in every situation. Businesses have learned to sell in different ways. New business models have emerged or been created. Being forced to review the cost of overheads and finding ways to reduce them has created better cash flow and more resilient businesses. Anyone can learn how to spot the opportunities that business challenges create and take advantage of them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are more millionaires and billionaires made during a recession than there are during the good times. ´

‘They are coming out of this crisis much leaner than they ever would have been.’

‘If you have cash, there has never been a better time to supercharge your business.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Billy Schwer, the Former British, Commonwealth, European, and World Boxing champion. He explains how he reached the top and what he learned along the way. Lessons that he is now sharing with others through his motivational speaking and his new book Man Up – The World Champion Way. They also discuss his personal performance coaching and his 12-week coaching program.

Billy speaks about the difficulties of his boxing journey. As well as how he became a success in business and an author despite ADHD and dyslexia. They talk about how the urge to win, led to him being unfeeling, selfish, and inconsiderate. Something that he has since been able to change and is now helping others to do too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You´ve got to be powerful in the face of adversity. That means letting go of things that go wrong and moving on. Having a strong team around will help you to succeed. Surround yourself with the right people. Life-changing decisions are hard to make. Billy explains why he decided to stop boxing and the struggle he had reinventing himself. Take courses that suit your learning style. For Billy was conversational rather than written content. If something does not feel right, work to change it. Feel good about the journey, not just about hitting the goal. Enjoy the ride. Consistency is what gets the results. If you keep yo-yo-ing, your why is not strong enough. When you find inspiration, you will automatically be motivated. Look after yourself. If you don´t you can´t look after anyone else. Keep your hands up. Protect yourself at all times, be aware of what you are reading, listening to, and who you are associating with. You are accountable for your own life and how you respond. You are not a victim.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’ve been on a transformational journey.’

‘Consistency is the key to success.’

‘People talk about being motivated. I am talking about being inspired.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about a mistake that she made, many years ago, which led to her losing out on 7 figures. On the surface, it looks like a small mistake, but Jeannette digs a little deeper and shares what was really behind that error.

In the process highlighting things that we all need to think about to make sure that we are not prone to doing something similar. As well as how she rectified that mistake. In the process, she transformed her work and personal life and within a short space of time set up several successful businesses. Doing so in a way that generates truly passive income.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Because of inflation, money in the bank that is not earning interest is losing value. Don´t focus all of your efforts on making money for other people. Everyone needs to think about the long-term. Don´t beat yourself up about the mistake. Instead, take action to ensure your decisions and actions are better moving forwards. Jeannette explains how she did exactly that.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Now, that sounds like just one mistake, but actually, there were several parts within it. ´

‘I was too short-termist. I was very much in the here and now.’

‘You need different mentors and coaches for different aspects of your business, your life, and your career.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to the journalist, author, and leading expert on British regional national affairs - Brian Groom. He shares what led him to become a journalist and how he progressed his career and ended up as the assistant editor and the political editor for The Financial Times.

They discuss how he overcame imposter syndrome and educated himself so that he could understand and report on several different sectors. This episode provides a fascinating insight into how the UK paper industry and the FT used to work. They talk about how media has changed in the UK and where it is likely to go in the future. Brian also provides an insight into his book - Northerners: A History from the Ice Age to the Present Day and shares the process he used to write it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Staying neutral helps you to keep an open mind and see more of the picture. Don´t let people label you and put you in a box. You don’t want to be restricted like that. If someone is blanking you, learn how to reach them. Brian explains how he did this with Peter Mandelson and managed to build a good working relationship with him. Recognise the fact that people have multi-layered identities. Don´t become obsessed with data. It really is all about people. Regional newspapers have had a boost recently. Brian explains why in the podcast. Our democracies have become very fragile, partly because of social media. Break big tasks down into manageable chunks and set a time target for each part. Everyone suffers setbacks. Often, that is where the best opportunities come from. Help others on the way up.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I tried to keep the politics of mine well out of it. ´

‘Local press ...has had a boost. People looked to their local papers for trusted coverage of the pandemic’

‘There´s always an opportunity in any adversity.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Ed McIntyre who is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Ed explains how he got into developing apartment buildings and used Airbnb to leverage some of his property assets. He tells us how he has managed to bounce back after failures and not let them negatively affect his personality and personal life.

This episode contains details of simple techniques anyone can use to greatly improve their lives and those of the people around them. Ed explains why he tells everyone “what you think about and what you thank about you bring about.” Sharing how that mindset has enabled him to succeed in and enjoy all aspects of his life, including being married for 43 years. During the episode, he and Jeannette demonstrate several simple techniques anyone can use to improve their mindset, find peace, and treat others better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You do not have to be trying to achieve big goals to be able to benefit from taking steps to improve your mental and emotional health. Mindset is crucial. Ed shares examples of how it has helped him and is helping his clients to enjoy a better life. Including succeeding in business. Our thoughts create our feelings and govern how we behave. Good thoughts lead to good things. Positive self-talk and meditation are effective, and they are both really easy for anyone to use. You can keep your life on track or recover from any disaster by prioritizing the right things and focusing on them. Don´t internalise trauma. It creates a tragic lifestyle. Don´t dismiss tapping. It is incredibly powerful and effective. Especially for dealing with fear. Jeannette shares an example of how it helped her. Don’t be afraid of failure. Monitor your businesses and be ready to pivot if things change and the business model no longer works. When things go wrong maintain a positive attitude. Make sure you have enough time for play as well as sleep, exercise, and work. Focus on being the best you can be… the best spouse, friend, and sibling. Don´t be judgemental. Do what you should be doing and let others live their lives as they want.

BEST MOMENTS

‘By focusing on the right things and taking things in priority, life can be a joy.’

‘Just give yourself two or three minutes of downtime.’

‘The greatest risk is no risk.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to smash it in 2022 and make it the year you transform every aspect of your life. She explains why New Year resolutions do not work and provides you with an alternative approach that does. One that she has used herself and with her mentees, who work across a range of different industries, to become hugely successful. It is a 12-step process that can be implemented quickly and by anyone, regardless of the type of life they lead.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 80% of New Year´s resolutions are not achieved. Those who think they can and those who think they can´t are usually both right. You need to believe you can achieve your change. Use the storytelling method to put yourself in the right mindset. Jeanette explains what this method is and how to use it. Support efforts by looking after yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Be very clear about your why. Your vision of where you want to be. Set SMART goals. Jeannette explains what that means, in the podcast. Create new routines that will become healthy habits. Keep it simple – keep it focused. You only have one life. Make it count and achieve what you want.

BEST MOMENTS

‘80% of New Year´s resolutions are not achieved. That means only 20% of people are actually achieving what they want. ´

‘Change takes hard graft. The harsh reality is if you want change then you have to change.’

‘Connect your big picture vision with the very practical goals, targets, and aspirations you have for 2022.’

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 Joel White who is the group managing director of Ramsay and White Estate Agents. A UK agency that specialises in helping property investors from across the UK and beyond to get started and scale-up. They arrange finance for commercial property, holiday lets, residential, conversions, and more. Joel and his team are also property investors and developers.

Jeannette asks Joel to share his personal story and explain how he was able to use adversity as a driver to turn him into a successful business owner. He also shares numerous tips on how to build a strong business and get started with making money from property. As well as his take on where the UK property market is going.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Getting advice from qualified professionals who are themselves investors and developers is invaluable. They know how things work in the real world. CoVid has transformed the property market. In the podcast, Joel explains how investors can continue to capitalise on this change. There will be growth in 2022, but it is not likely to be as strong. Create a robust portfolio, including some protection money to take you through the downs. If you are just getting started. Educate yourself and speak to other investors and property professionals. Speak to a mortgage advisor to see how much money you could potentially raise before you look at property. Understand the various company structure options. Where you start in life is not important. With the right mindset and a strong why you can achieve anything. Be prepared to develop your people, so that they become the team members you need. Always be moving forward, but don´t move too fast. Don´t run until you can walk. Don´t cut corners. Take full responsibility for your behaviour, then take action to change what you don´t like. Next year, Joel´s team will be launching a wealth management arm, as well as getting more involved in finding land for developers.

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 Steven Pardoe who is the managing director of DOMO Developments. They provide both investors and owners with safe, secure, and calculated property investment opportunities. He explains how he started in sales, then set up multiple successful international businesses before switching direction and getting involved in the property industry.

Steven explains why entrepreneurs need to become comfortable with selling – themselves, their ideas, their accommodation, or other product or service. They discuss many subjects, including, how to set up a strong business partnership, hire the right people, retain your staff, and recognize a sound investment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Property businesses have fewer overheads and are simpler than many other business models. We are all selling, all of the time. Even if it is just sharing our opinion. When you do that, you are selling your take on things to the listener. Selling is not sleazy. It is normal, get comfortable with it and learn to be good at it. Working in other countries or with international partners is a great way to expand your horizons, improve your communication skills and be able to work with anyone. Most property-related business models create positive cash flow. Once you are established it becomes easier to do big projects, which has many benefits that Steven explains in the podcast. Spend money at the start to start your business properly. When you fail, learn from it. Often, it is your failures that teach you the most. Most businesses plateau and you lose enthusiasm after 5 to 7 years. Plan to sell before that happens. Give your staff what they want. Don´t assume that is always more money, it could be flexible working so they can spend more time with their families. Know from day one what you and each partner is responsible for. Put in place formal legal agreements that also cover how things will be handled should things go wrong. Take time for your family. Be brave enough not to automatically listen to the opinions of others.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everyone sells, I just don´t think they really admit it. ´

‘Everything for us has always been about positive cash flow.’

‘One of my biggest mistakes has been staying in businesses too long and not having an exit.’

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 about facing your fears. Why it is really important to understand this natural reaction and learn how to stop your fears from holding you back.

She explains how to face your fears and choose a different response. One that will enable you to deal with problems positively and succeed regardless. It is an easy-to-follow five-step process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Fear elicits two responses. Typically, fight or flight. Fear can stop you from getting started or lead to you failing at the first hurdle. Anyone can learn to face their fears and choose a different response. The moment you feel panic setting in, pause and reset. Stop thinking about the potential negative impact of what you are about to do. Focus on the positive instead. Break things down into easy to achieve steps. Then, follow them one after another.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Fear is a really natural reaction…. but it can hold you back. ´

‘Focus on what you’ve got to gain, rather than on what you’ve got to lose.’

‘Failure is learning.’

When Jeannette interviewed her mum for episode 132 of the Brave Bold Brilliant podcast, she received many positive comments. So many, that they decided to do it again. In this episode, Doreen shares more details of her life. Painting a picture of how the way life was just after the war pushed people to have a positive mindset, to push on regardless, to cope with going without while building a strong future for their families.

They also talk about the world of work. How women coped with the lack of career opportunities. As well as how Doreen´s independent spirit led to her running two businesses and investing in a holiday cottage at a time when very few women did so. They discuss how to ensure that you do not hold yourself back, nor allow the way society is structured to do so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

After the war, rationing meant that people got used to going without. There were no real opportunities for women. At the time keeping a house took up a huge amount of time because there were no mod-cons. People got on with things even when times were tough, taking positive action regardless. Running a business without partners gives you the freedom to be in charge of your destiny. If you can afford to do so, go it alone when you set up your first business. It is less restrictive. Take lots of business advice but try to be the one that makes the decisions. Don´t over-stretch yourself financially when setting up your business, it just puts you under unnecessary pressure. Never use money that you cannot afford to do without. Don’t say anything about your plans until you have made up your mind. If necessary, take independent action to ensure nobody puts you off of following your plan.

BEST MOMENTS

‘After WWII … no matter how wealthy you were you really didn’t have anything because there was nothing to have. ´

‘I can´t understand why people moaned about kids, you weren´t angels but you were interesting.’

‘Employ people, but don´t have them as a business partner. It’s too restrictive.’

‘Nobody knows better than you…I think you’ve got to trust your instincts.’

Why being a strong network has been key to driving her corporate career, as well as enabling her to take her own businesses from zero to millions.

In this episode, Jeannette asks everyone a particularly important question – are you just surviving or thriving?

She explains how she ended up doing exactly that for a time. For example, despite having a first-class honours degree in economics she still spent time waiting tables and cleaning just to survive. Jeannette shares the tactics she used to get out of that situation. Ten simple things that have helped her through other issues, so that she has been able to thrive. All of which you can also easily implement.

KEY TAKEAWAYS If you know that you have more potential within, you can fulfil it. You can create wealth that enables you to live the life that you want. Be clear on what you want. Take a hard look at who you are spending time with, walk away from those who pull you down or who are toxic. Educating yourself is an investment. Mentors enable you to step up to the next level. Read and listen to podcasts to expand your mind. Embrace failure as learning. You have to put the time into personal development to be able to thrive. Everyone has greatness inside them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Be the best version of yourself. ´

‘If you want to thrive and not just survive you have to put the time in.’

‘It’s all about being brave and bold, when you do that, you unlock your brilliant.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Yulia Denisyuk who is an award-winning travel photographer and writer with a special interest in stories about artisan crafts and ancient traditions. She explains why despite having an MBA in marketing and strategy and a highly successful career working for large corporations, she gave it all up to put travel, her passion, at the centre of her life.

Yulia and Jeannette talk about how to find the courage to make transformative changes in your life. How to develop the resilience and tenacity to stop listening to the negative voices of others and to deal with imposter syndrome. So that you can switch to doing work that feeds you rather than drains you. Yulia talks about her Genius Women masterclass and the role mentors have played in her life. As well as providing advice to help anyone who wants to make a living from writing, photography, or their travels, to do so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We all tend to automatically follow the most clearly defined path – get good grades, take a corporate job, get a mortgage, etc. Social pressure plays a big role in pushing us to do what everyone else does. Everyone is different. For some people doing well at a corporate job is their passion. Don´t compare yourself to others – row your own boat. Not doing something that you are passionate about is soul-destroying. Role models and mentors help you to get to where you want far faster. Imposter syndrome can really hold you back. Don´t give up too early. Be consistent, stubborn, keep going and keep learning. Remember how you spend your days is how you spend your life. Travel writers need humility, curiosity, tenacity, and the ability to pursue the story. In the podcast, Yulia explains how to get started in the field. Believe in yourself, follow your why, and take action consistently. If you do not yet have a passion. Follow your curiosity instead. Everyone has something special to offer – jewels inside. Recognise them and share them with everyone.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I left my corporate life behind, and I dedicated all of my subsequent journey to figuring out how I can do the lifestyle where travel is at the centre of it. ´

‘When you try something new, it’s important not to get discouraged too soon.’

‘The only way to get that experience is to start doing.’

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 about how to create breakthroughs. She explains why we sometimes get stuck and how to break free of that state. Enabling you to either make a start on something important or get things moving again if your progress is slow or you have stalled.

What you will learn in this episode will enable you to make step changes in your life, instead of continuing to just nibble around the edges, or slide backward. This is something Jeannette has personally used to breakthrough, find success, and go from zero to millions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone occasionally gets stuck in life, e.g., they can´t secure a promotion. That includes highly successful people. Are you telling yourself the right story? In the podcast, Jeannette explains what that means and why it is so important. Most people are holding themselves back without realising they are doing so.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Raamon Newman the co-founder and CEO of New Mavericks, which is a global leadership development consultancy. He has led an eclectic life as a pro-level athlete, meditating monk, author, and business leader. During his 10 years as a monk, he learned how to still his mind, find fulfilment and help others to do the same. Before co-founding his consultancy.

Raamon and Jeannette discuss how learning to relax on a much deeper level, relieves emotional tension, which naturally leads to achievement. Something that Raamon has been teaching business leaders for many years. Including one CEO who took his business from 1 billion to 7 billion in just 7 years. Raamon explains how ordinary people can engage their leadership mind and shares details of the new App he is launching to help them to do exactly that.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of us chase achievement, hoping that we will feel fulfilled, which is the wrong way around. When you have inner fulfilment, achievement follows naturally. When your mind is settled, you experience very little emotional tension, which leads to calmness even when under great stress. Having a strong clear vision is a far more effective persuader than any verbal argument you present. Clarity of mind enables you to see opportunities sooner and know what steps you need to take. When you are who you really are at the deepest level, you spontaneously take the right action. Our vision and our purpose are really an extension of who we are. Everyone has a purpose, but that purpose is always evolving. When you make a decision make sure that you really believe in it yourself. In business, most decisions are made on how you feel. You rarely have all of the information, so you have to go with your gut. Too many of today´s business leaders are actually followers that don´t make empowering evolutionary decisions for themselves. They default too much to what they hear in the media. People now want to take care of their minds just as much as they do their bodies. If you see something that you like in life, be bold, and go grab it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Achievement comes and goes … the ultimate goal is fulfilment.’ ‘The more you can see something in yourself the more likely you can help others to see it too.’ ‘Follow your own innate nature.’

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 Wayne Smith the CEO of Olympia Boxing CIO, who is also a multiple business owner and entrepreneur. Wayne explains how boxing inspired him to transform himself from being a young man who used drinks and drugs and was not interested in school into becoming an England coach and community leader. A journey that led to him founding Olympia Boxing CIO, which is helping people of all ages to improve their lives too.

He explains what makes a good coach and how that skill set can be used to build a successful business. Wayne also talks about his Boxing for Parkinson´s sessions and the work he and his team do with schools. He and Jeannette also discuss how he is using his property business to create financial security for his family while providing affordable homes in the community. This podcast contains invaluable information that anyone can use to build a business and create security for their families.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Get out of your own way. Don´t hold yourself back – what´s the worst that can happen.... you fail and have to get a regular job? Ignore the doubters, especially the ones that have not even attempted what you are planning to do. There is always something new to learn, regardless of how experienced you are. Everything is constantly changing. Invest in yourself. It will take time and cost money, but always pays dividends. If you take a course or follow a business model and discover that it is not for you. Learn from it and use that for the next thing. Everyone employs personal trainers to get them fit. We all need mentors to do the same for us in business. Don´t compare yourself to others, stay focused on yourself and your goals. Set aside time for your family. Make that non-negotiable. For Parkinson’s intense exercise has been proven to delay the onset of symptoms, which is why Wayne runs boxing sessions for sufferers. If you want to invest in property, educate yourself first. A good coach will draw the best out of someone. When coaching someone you need to understand them and adapt your approach to what they need.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Anything is possible for anyone…they just have to get out of their own way and go for it.’

‘Anything can be rebuilt.’

‘Any amount of money that you invest in yourself, is money that is well invested.’

‘We all employ personal trainers to get us fit. We all need mentors to help us through business.’

In this packed episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Ellie McKay of the On a Mission podcast. Jeannette shares details of her early life, education and more. Explaining how despite getting a first from Leeds University she still suffered from imposter syndrome. She explains how she turned that, and class prejudice, on their head, and used them to drive her forward. Jeannette also talks about working at a high level in a male-dominated environment and how mentors helped her to make step changes in her career.

She explains why she left the corporate world to work with her other half, Chris. Including, how they avoid friction, divide up the workload and maintain a good work/life balance. Jeannette and Ellie also discuss where the biggest business opportunities are likely to be over the coming decade.

KEY TAKEAWAYS When Jeanette started work, regional and class prejudices were still prevalent. As was sexism. Imposter syndrome is something most of us suffer from. In the podcast, Jeannette explains how she was able to largely overcome it. Being yourself is important, trying to play a role is exhausting and pointless because you always get found out. Be positive, if in your mind you are expecting problems you are almost setting yourself up for that to be the case. You don´t need to be an alpha female to be able to secure senior roles SAS software and those businesses that simplify and streamline tasks and processes are doing especially well. Demand for flexible office space is growing as people tweak the way they work remotely. Each time Jeannette has had a mentor it has enabled her to make a step-change in her career. Dividing the workload clearly and each person playing to their strengths makes it much easier to run a business with your life partner. Good communication enables you to solve anything. Believe in yourself, everything starts with the internal you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you walk into a room thinking there will be a problem, there probably will be. ´

‘How I start my day is really important. I am fiercely protective of my first hour of the day.’

‘I genuinely have found something that I love…with podcasts it was an unexpected love.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Michael Goldstrom who is the founder and CEO of GetMotivatedBuddies. He explains how his battle with ADHD and what he learned while working as an actor, narrator, and voice artist combined to inspire him to set up a new style of support network. One that is based on behavioural psychology and has already helped nearly 15,000 people to achieve difficult goals that many had failed to achieve previously.

Michael explains how acting taught him to look at and understand the motivation of the characters he played. A skill he was then able to use on himself to identify what was holding him back. He and Jennette discuss the methods he then employed to break bad habits and finally move forwards. If you have difficult goals that you are struggling to achieve this podcast will be helpful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We can all develop into the person we want to be. Explore ways of managing your life to find what works for you. Most people suffer from information overload. The way social media algorithms work is leading to people living a life that does not align with their core beliefs. Michael explains why that is in the podcast. Not being able to filter out things so you can focus on what is important leads to information overload and physical issues. As you progress towards your goals evaluate how you are feeling as well as how you are progressing. Having buddies to support you through change greatly improves your chances of succeeding in forming a new positive habit. View yourself holistically, often improving one thing will have a positive impact on multiple areas of your life. GetMotivatedBuddies is aligning people who want to help people, with those who are actively seeking that kind of support. The platform does much more than just provide accountability partners. It also challenges you and does so in a positive way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There are three steps – human belief, direction (a goal), and steps that take you there.’

‘The misalignment of our daily actions with our beliefs is precisely why people are lonelier.’

‘It´s very important to have a system in place to evaluate where we are at in life and check how we´re feeling.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about managing change. In particular, how to overcome some of the barriers we create for ourselves that make it harder for us to move forwards. Ways to stop yourself from getting in your own way.

She takes you through the 5-stage emotional curve most of us follow when dealing with change. Helping you to be aware of it, so that you are better equipped to manage change far better so that you can progress in your business and personal life far faster.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a 5-stage emotional curve that most people naturally follow when dealing with change. Jeannette explains what that curve looks like and the best way to navigate and harness those emotions to make things easier. Change is the only constant in our lives. In our personal and work lives things are in an almost constant state of flux. Equipping yourself to deal successfully with change is essential. We all move from feeling positive about something new to informed pessimism, then seeing the downside. Jeanette explains how not to give up at that stage. Returning to your comfort zone means you just have to start again, later.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is not that people don´t like change. I think it´s more that we're not always equipped with the tools to help us to cope. ´

‘Embrace change and benefit from it.’

‘Have a strong vision…it will help pull you through the tough times.’

The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks to John McEwan who has had an illustrious career across Thomas Cook, TUI, the Advantage Leisure Group. As well as working with the banking sector and being the chairman of ABTA and trustee of ABTA Lifeline. An organisation that was set up to help travel industry workers who are in need of help. He now does a huge amount of non-exec director work, as a portfolio executive.

He and Jeannette talk about his extremely varied career and the lessons he learned along the way. In particular, the ones that can be applied across all industries and at every level. As well as, how events in his early life, for example, his father going blind overnight, impacted his approach to his career. As well as how he navigated difficult events like 9/11 and managing taking millions out of a company to set it back on its financial feet.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People rarely understand the level of skills they have. Understand the value of consensus. Don’t let not having a degree hold you back. Block out time in your diary to spend time with your customers and frontline workers, even when you reach board level. Good communication is the most important aspect of leadership. No matter how big a business is you can always innovate, do better and offer something special. As a non-exec, a lot of what you are doing is about influencing people, rather than telling them what to do. Influencing starts with getting the other party to open their mind to the possibilities. Most of the time they almost lead themselves to the same conclusion as you. Unleashing the potential of your team, automatically unleashes the potential of your business. Find someone that can act as a mentor for you, even on an informal basis. Be brave. Be prepared to take some risks.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I made mistakes along the way, but I learnt from them. ´

‘If you’re not communicating well, then, it’s incredibly difficult to take the organisation with you.’

‘In order to unleash the potential in your business, you’ve got to unleash the potential in the team.’

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.

This episode is extra special. It’s with great regret that I have to let you all know that unfortunately Alex passed away recently whilst he was in Nepal. Alex was an incredible human being and a force for good in this world. His legacy in raising awareness for Parkinsons will continue through his family, friends, the charities that he supported and all those who’s lives he touched. For me it was a particular honour to be able to speak with Alex and help spread the word about Parkinsons which was so important to him. For that reason I wanted to re-release this episode that we recorded back in March this year, in Alex’s honour.

Please continue to support Alex and his family through his website and social media. Alex Flynn one of the bravest, boldest and most brilliant people I have had the privilege to know - rest in peace!

During the podcast, Alex explains how he achieved that mindset, to help others to do the same and overcome the challenges in their own lives. In 2022, he will be climbing Everest to “put Parkinson´s on top of the world”. Alex talks about how he plans to do that, and the role listeners can play in helping him to achieve that challenge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Parkinson´s affects far more people than you think (1 in 15). It is a debilitating neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to move and function. People with these conditions lose self-confidence, self-worth, and their position in society. Parkinson´s crushes you physically that can in turn lead to your being crushed spiritually. Despite Parkinson´s Alex has still completed many arduous physical challenges. For some Parkinson´s sufferers crossing their living room is their Everest. Setting and achieving smaller physical goals generates strength to carry on and achieve the much bigger physical challenges. Seize every opportunity and take it as far as you can go. Strength is not a physical thing. Strength is deciding to never give up and having the courage to take the next step.

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. If you’d like to join Jeannette’s FREE Mastermind just DM Jeannette on jl@jeannettelinfootassociates.com

BEST MOMENTS

‘One in 15 people will contract Parkinson´s during their lifetime. ´

‘I am excited, scared, energized and optimistic that I will summit the mountain (Everest) and put Parkinson´s on top of the world’

‘If you have a neurological disease – I want to tell you, you are not alone. There is a world of people out there with the same thing as you. ´

‘Strength is a state of mind, never, ever forget it. ´

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Shaa Wasmund MBE who is the multi-award-winning entrepreneur behind several 7-figure businesses and the PR genius who spent 5 years growing his brand when he was still working from his kitchen table. At 21, she became the youngest licensed female boxing manager and worked with Chris Eubank.

Shaa talks about how living in a hostel, then on a council estate, in a single-parent family shaped and inspired her. She shares numerous tips on shaping your life for success and happiness, a subject she has written about extensively. During the podcast, she explains how anyone can get a book published, including how to overcome writer´s block. They also discuss creating generational wealth, building a brand, and following your moral compass, no matter what.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The modern habit of only sharing the photoshopped version of our lives is very harmful. Create generational wealth by being savvy about what you do with your money. There is no one size fits all answer. Everyone has a book in them, and it is far far far easier than you think to get it written. Books position you as an expert in your field, which enables you to raise your profile and prices. It is possible to build a business without social, which is good because some demographics are turning their back on social media. Be clear about what your values are and stick to them. Be respectful of other opinions but don’t compromise yourself. If you don´t let people know what you stand for you are easily forgotten. Never give up. Do more of what you love to wake up a different person. Once you earn enough to be happy and comfortable, don´t keep putting yourself under pressure to accrue more money and possesions.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Equality and equity are really important to me. ´

‘I’m not perfect, but determination is something that I’ve got in droves.’

‘You can build a business however you want to.’

‘I’ve switched all of my Zoom calls to my phone. I am Zoomed out.’

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

Shaa Wasmund MBE has over 20 years of experience building seven figure businesses and works fiercely towards financial empowerment for all.

At 21 she was the youngest and only licensed female boxing manager in the world working with Super Middleweight Champion, Chris Eubank.

At 23, she set up her own PR agency and James Dyson (before he was a Sir) became her first client. Shaa helped him grow the Dyson brand from around his kitchen table (and he thanked her by writing her forward to her first book!)

Shaa went on to create and sell multiple online businesses as well as running an investment fund for tech start-ups. In 2015 Shaa was awarded an MBE from The Queen for “Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”. It was one of the proudest moments in her life; not for the medal, but the fact she was able to take her adored Nan with her to the Palace with her.

In the same year, Shaa quit her job and salary as CEO of her own successful business to pursue the path she had always wanted to follow. She went on to write four straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.

In 2017 she launched her thriving online community The 6 Figure Club as well as a suite of online courses to support entrepreneurs who want to increase their income and increase their impact. Her podcast, Building A Bigger Table, started in 2020 and is already listed in Apple’s Top Global Entrepreneurial Podcasts and in 2021 she launched her flagship program, Empowered. As someone who started in real poverty, Shaa is a passionate advocate of not just equality, but equity for all. Her mantra is, “If no one offers you a seat at the table, it’s time to build our own.”

Shaa has been named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how she identified what she genuinely wanted in life. Practical tips, hacks, and strategies that anyone can use to take control and start creating the life they want. Including the vision cascade method, she uses with her mentee clients.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We can´t have choices about every aspect of our lives. But there is a huge amount that we can control. If you have a dream, you do not want that to die with you. Once you are clear on where you are heading, it is much easier to get there. Brainstorming all of the things you want to help you to identify your why and where your focus should be. Be fully present. In the podcast, Jeannette explains how to do that. Recognise the joy in the moment and celebrate the little wins, not just the big ones. Stop discussing your dreams and what you are working on with people who are critical or put doubt into your minds. Every day, live a life that you really love.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We do have the ability to really focus on what we want in life. ´

‘Cut out all aspects of your career, your business and your life that do not serve your vision.’

‘Growth is absolutely critical to happiness.’

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 Anna McKay who went from being a globally recognised intellectual property lawyer to developing and launching the Zeez Sleep Pebble and Sleep Pad with Steve Walpole. These unobtrusive under the pillow devices use brainwave patterns to promote good sleep, right through the night.

Anna explains why she stepped away from the highly enjoyable but stressful work she was doing to develop this sleep product. From childhood, she has been a chronic insomniac. So, she knows from personal experience that their device works. She explains what the product is and how it works. As well as sharing her entrepreneurial journey and some of the lessons she and Steve have learned while launching and developing their product. They also discuss the approach Anna and Steve are planning to use to take the next step.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Zeez devices work by prompting the brain of the user to copy the neural patterns of a sound sleeper. Before using the device, only 38% of testers fell asleep within 15 minutes. After using the Zeez Sleep Pebble, that rose to 81%. 70% of testers woke during the night at least 3 times a week. While using the device only 35% did so. For the device to work fully users need to practice good sleep hygiene. For example, darkening the room properly. In the podcast, Ana goes through several good sleep hygiene habits. Explaining the science behind why they work and are necessary. Sunshine is an important component of sleep hygiene. It plays a role in triggering serotonin. What you eat at breakfast has an impact on whether you can stay asleep. Why that is explained in the podcast. Parents often have to wake for their children. But the quality of their sleep can still be greatly improved. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Don´t inadvertently put barriers in your way when developing a product. It is not a perfect process. Be authentic.

BEST MOMENTS

‘(Our device) is quantitively different from other (sleep) devices that work on the brain. ´

‘Our lifestyle has taken us away from the natural pattern of daylight.’

‘I was good at relaxing, but I couldn’t sleep.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Born in London, brought up in Zimbabwe and rural Nottinghamshire, Anna became a globally recognized intellectual property lawyer, litigating big cases involving medicines and science, usually against big multinationals. She was a chronic insomniac. Five hours of sleep was exceptional, and Anna often didn't sleep for several nights in a row. Acupuncture, massage, Shiatsu, and other therapies helped her to cope, but made little impact on her sleep. She loved her work – it was interesting, demanding, and very high energy: and that kept her awake, however, it was a dangerous lifestyle.

One day, a minor workplace irritation made her realise that she didn't want to be a partner in a law firm any longer. She began to work with inventors and gained more control over her life. This change enabled her to address her sleep differently. It became a mission.

Eventually, she set up Zeez Sleep with electronics engineer Steve Walpole. Steve and her measured brainwaves, tested and learnt how to encourage our brains to sleep well. They developed, patented, and now sell the Zeez Sleep Pebble. An under the pillow device which mimics the brain activities of relaxation and deep sleep to prompt poor sleepers to adopt a pattern of good sleep. It is a ground-breaking device, with the potential to change the way we sleep and transform lives. The kind of corporate culture in which she worked as a young lawyer, with all-night meetings fuelled by coffee and relaxation predicated on alcohol is unsatisfying and unproductive, but understandable if it seems as if there is no other way. Supporting good sleep is a way to get back balance and change our culture.

In this episode, Jeannette explains how to create a strategy for your business. One that will ensure that you and your team are focusing on the things that will grow and sustain your business. The process she outlines, in this episode, can also be used for your personal life and career development.

She starts by explaining some of the jargon, then breaks the process of setting up your strategy into easy to implement steps. Then goes on to lay out how to monitor progress and tweak your strategy so that it stays relevant and viable no matter how much things change.

KEY TAKEAWAYS A mission statement explains what your business is about – the what. Your vision statement outlines the why, what the purpose is. Only, once you have your mission and vision clearly defined can you create your strategy. (How you are going to get there) You need ideas from your team and stakeholders. Involving them will ensure that they buy into the strategy and deliver on it. Create a macro strategy. Then, micro strategies for each part of the business. Even solopreneurs should have a business strategy. In the podcast, Jeannette lists out what should be included. Every firm needs a marketing strategy that takes account of the economic environment and the state of its market. Knowing your customer, what your competitors are doing and how the market is evolving is vital. Include recruitment and development. Without the right people, you cannot grow. List out the options, then identify the ones that will fit in best with your objective and prioritise those. Delegate ownership and accountability for each part of the strategy. Review at least once a quarter. Having a comprehensive strategy document makes raising finance far easier.

BEST MOMENTS

‘A good business will have a mission statement that explains succinctly what your about as a business. ´

‘It doesn´t matter the size of the business, having a strategy is always a good thing.’

‘When you develop your strategy…I would definitely recommend that you bring the team with you, get their ideas.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to the DJ, motorsports entrepreneur, musician, and public speaker Farah Nanji. She explains how a passion for karting and playing Spanish guitar helped her to overcome bullying and dyspraxia which is a developmental coordination disorder.

An experience that inspired her to use those talents to help others to overcome adversity and find their way in life. Including helping companies to use sport to build, develop and inspire their teams. She explains how being diagnosed with dyspraxia affected her and the approach she took to minimise the negative impact it has on her.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Music can transport you to another place and have a healing effect. Sport is about communication, about teamwork, breaking through your limits and being on the edge the whole time. You really can rewire the brain via sport and music. Meditation and yoga are powerful tools that anyone can use. Pushing yourself to do the things that are hardest for you is a sure way to get better at them. Diversity is important, make sure you encourage it by opening the door for others. If you believe in something, do it. Life is too short not to. Don’t let fear stop you from starting. Every successful person will have experienced failures. Social media is powerful but getting out there and meeting your audience or customer is still vital. Be yourself, people are going to judge you regardless. You can be good at several things. But it is best to focus on building up expertise in one thing at a time.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The music that I select, and curate means something to people. It takes them to another place. ´

‘Taking care of your body and mind is so important.’

‘Value every single day. Just seize that day.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

When music is your yin and racing your yang, it's no surprise that London born Farah Nanji, known by her artist alias as NINJA, has had some of the world's wisest stages from Pacha Ibiza to Egg London spinning into transcendent circles for the last decade.

Fascinated with the ancient art of the warrior since she was a child, NINJA has spent her whole life honing her craft; from playing instruments at a young age, to being trained by the renowned Buddha Bar Group in her teenage years. All roads have led to her being globally recognised as a DJ and thought leader in her field today.

Inspired by ethnic roots from the Indian and African sub-continents, she paints her creative canvas through an extraordinary exploration of live sounds and enchanting frequencies, from the electric guitar to the sitar.

These sounds create hypnotic portals which are looped into pulsating waves of deep tech and techno, transporting listeners into the ultimate meditative zone.

She is currently writing her debut album, The 13th Code, a deep exploration of planetary frequencies with numerology.

Farah is passionate about driving change around the world through her own leadership and humanitarian initiatives while challenging the status quo.

Trained as a journalist with the Ibiza Paper in 2014, Farah has since interviewed some of the biggest change makers in the industry such as Pete Tong as well as warming up for prolific artists like Nicole Moudaber, Subb-An, Pete Tong, Fur Coat, Blond:ish, My Favourite Robot, Third Son, Roger Sanchez, Deadmau5, Karmon, HVOB, Stimming & more.

She is also a highly accomplished public speaker and is one of the few DJs in the world to deliver a TEDx talk, which took place in the Luxembourg Philharmonie in 2019.

In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Alex Chisnall from the Screw It Just Do It podcast. They discuss how to get your business ready to respond to any scenario or change in market conditions.

They also cover how to put the right protocols in place, test and adapt them as the way the world works changes. How to recognise opportunities and be ready to take advantage of them. As well as spotting changes that may make it harder for you to compete, so you can quickly adapt and maintain market share.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Taking stock is step one of managing a crisis. Stay calm, don´t spook your team and make a firm decision. Don’t procrastinate. Communication is key. Document protocols for all sorts of scenarios. Test and update them once a quarter. Market dynamics can change fast. Have processes in place to spot market shifts so that you are ready for trouble. Or, when that change is in your favour, to take advantage. When you see an opportunity, move fast. Get a minimal product out there. Then test, evaluate and learn. Prioritise innovations and opportunities then focus on them. In the podcast, Jeannette explains the 70/20/10 rule she uses to work out how to allocate resources. To be able to respond fast, you need to hire and develop the right people. Create the right culture for your team to perform at their best. Even solopreneurs can sit down once a month, create a bit of headspace to innovate and prioritise. Change is normal, so your business should be ready to cope with it. Often, the people who are dealing directly with your customers are the ones that have the best ideas.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Being a leader is all about making decisions with the information you have at the time, even if that´s imperfect information. ´

‘Have a sense of calm, have the right people around you, make a decision and have a clear action plan.’

‘Often, it´s about getting a minimal viable product out there. Then testing and tweaking it as you go.’

But realised that despite his great success that it didn´t “feed his soul”. A realisation that led to him radically changing his life, starting his own business, and fulfilling his dreams.

He shares tips and approaches anyone can use to do the same for themselves. Baiju also explains how he coaches corporate leaders. Providing an insight into some of the leadership and performance issues many of them have. As well as some of the solutions he teaches.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Don´t ignore that nagging feeling that you are not fulfilled. Take action to change that. Write down everything that is holding you back. The practical reasons as well as the intangible ones e.g., my family would not approve. Decide on what actions you need to take to solve them. Then physically take one or more of those actions. Mindset is vital. It really is possible to hold yourself back You have to adapt. Your goals can stay the same, but how you get there will almost certainly have to change and evolve. Identify something that you can easily change to make a positive difference and do it immediately. That will enable you to get started and gain momentum. If members of your team are regularly making the same mistakes, that is down to you as a leader. How you can break that negative cycle is explained in the episode. Before having difficult conversations, identify what your perfect outcome would be. Don´t have conversations about issues without having identified some sort of viable solution. If things are not working out for you, do something that is going to change your energy e.g., start exercising.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Take an action. It is only in that moment of action that an outcome occurs.’

‘Your level of success and affluence is not determined by your past; it is determined by your choices now.’

‘The difference between those who are good, great and highly excellent is the consistency and or persistence. ´

‘Don´t ask a question and answer it yourself. Just ask, stay silent and listen. ´

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 about networking effectively for your business particularly whilst working remotely. Most of her ten tips won´t take long to implement. Plus, many of them will still work well even if you revert to working out of an office or other type of business premises.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Don´t underestimate the power of networking. Make time for it. Regularly review who you have been in touch with over the past couple of months and who you haven´t spoken to in a while. Prioritise speaking to those people who are most important to your business. That could be clients, suppliers, mentors, or team members. Regularly check that you have invited everyone important to join you via social media. Remember that networking is reciprocal. Tap into new technologies. Create catalysts for conversation. This is a particularly good approach for remaking a connection that may have waned.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Come up with a hit list of people that you really do need to connect with. ´

‘Don´t give up on the networking and the communication.’

‘Remember that we all like human contact, we all really respond to that interaction.’

In this episode, Jeannette sits down to talk to the woman in her life that has inspired her the most - her mum Doreen. They talk about what life was like when she was growing up, in the 1930s and 40s. She shares some of the innovative ways people coped with living without most of the modern conveniences we have today. Including things like running hot water, bathrooms, washing machines, dryers, electric irons, and ovens.

Doreen explains how people still managed to look good despite not having much in the way of makeup and personal care products. They talk about how people entertained themselves and got away for holidays.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Realising how much harder things were years ago helps us to understand that we have a lot to be grateful for. Making the best possible use of what you have enables you to live a fulfilling and happy life, even if you have very little. Keeping a home clean and welcoming was a lot of hard physical work. In the 1930s and 40s, pierced ears were seen as old-fashioned. Doreen explains why in the podcast. The past can be a major source of inspiration. Some of what we think of as new innovations are simply things that were popular years ago.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We can learn so much from the past. ´

‘We never wasted a thing.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer of Virgin Atlantic. Juha has had a stellar career in the aviation industry over the past 3 decades. During that time, he has worked mainly in transformational roles, helping businesses to change direction and adopt new ways of working, so Juha is most certainly the epitome of Brave, Bold, Brilliant.

He and Jeannette discuss how Juha successfully led his teams through drastic changes, empowering them to overcome what were sometimes huge challenges. They talk particularly about how Virgin Atlantic weathered a massive restructuring in 2020 and navigated through the stormy skies during the CoVid pandemic. Juha also shares what it is like to be a gay man working in the travel industry and how he is a passionate champion for diversity and inclusion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People will push back at times of change, but this can be used in a positive way to energise you. Conflict and disagreements give you the chance to pause, re-look and re-plan when necessary. Having people working in a company who genuinely love the brand is of great benefit. In times of crisis, regular and honest communication is vital. Working 24/7 is not sustainable - you need to take time off so you can stay afloat and be there for your team. Crises also create opportunities. Manage your time and energy, for example, stop working early enough for it not to negatively impact your sleep. To be at your best, you need to be yourself. Bringing your whole self to work is paramount so that you don't feel you have to live a double life.

BEST MOMENTS

'I don’t get energy out of conflict, but it does give me the energy to go back, re-plan and redo'

'During a crisis, you can end up working 24/7, but you can´t do that. If you don´t stay afloat, nobody survives'

‘Never underestimate the importance of sleep and exercise'

'Be your true self'

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Chris Wilkins FCCA, who is a Chartered Certified Account and the founder of Wilkins Southworth. Chris has spent 30+ years working in the field. During that time, he has always sought out new challenges, which has enabled him to build up an incredible level of knowledge. As an example, he became the tax advisor for the largest landowner in Bucharest, Romania, has successfully represented many people at hearings with the General Commission and provided advice on worldwide trust structures.

Chris shares details that will be of particular interest to property owners and entrepreneurs who rent their property out in some way. He provides an overview of capital allowances. Including how you can take advantage of them to legally save yourself tens of thousands in tax payments. He also touches upon company structure, capital gains tax and shares his take on how the tax landscape is likely to change, over the next few years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A lot of accountants do not spend any time working out how their clients can take full advantage of any legislative or rule changes. Often, they give incomplete advice. Before starting a business or buying an asset speak to an experienced accountant about how to structure things. Any advice that has not looked at the long term and includes consideration of an exit strategy is not likely to be sound. Many businesses are not claiming capital allowances, which could potentially be offset against tax. The tax liabilities for commercial properties are very different to those for residential properties. The tax burden will likely rise, and many exemptions and reliefs will disappear. In the podcast, Chris looks at the impact wage inflation, labour shortages, potential tax changes and inflation will have. The best time to start a business is now. Build some comfort into your cash flow and have a contingency. Educate yourself. Once you have a good understanding you can obfuscate risk and move quickly to mitigate any negative situations.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you don’t consider it, because your thinking is too narrow, that is when issues arise.’

‘You´ve got to do the numbers on that exit calculation as compared to whether you want to suffer the income tax now.’

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 BRILLIANT.

In this episode, Jeannette explains how to create a multi-million £ business plan that will ensure that you develop your successful business in a way that improves your chances of success. A document that will act as a guide, enabling you to set the right goals and targets, which will keep you on track for success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Don´t be daunted by the idea of creating a business plan. It is far easier than you think. Every enterprise needs a business plan. In the podcast, Jeannette shares 12 good reasons for creating one. Creating and regularly reviewing your business plan, keeps you in touch with your market and forces you to assess your competition. A good business plan makes it far easier to raise finance. Your business plan is also a great messaging tool for your team. It shows them what you are about and where you are heading. Your exec summary should tell the reader what your business is about, how you are performing, where you are heading and what is unique about what you have to offer. In the podcast, Jeannette lists each of the sections you need to include. She explains, in detail, how to write each one. Include what your typical customer looks like, how they behave and what their potential financial value is. You need to identify each member of your leadership plan. Include your financial plan. Jeannette lists out the reports that need to be included in this section. Be sure to review your business plan at least once or twice a year.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Caroline Strachan, a real powerhouse of a woman, a champion for diversity & inclusion and a fantastic business woman, as the Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Business Travel & Meetings consultancy Festive Road.

Gender equality is top of Caroline’s list and believes this is not just a female issue as she covered in her TED X speech!!

She explains how she went from being an events manager for Amex to working in the travel industry. Where she took on leadership roles at Cisco, Yahoo, Amex, and several other multinational companies.

Caroline and Jeannette discuss the difference between the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds and dive deep into the subject of creating that elusive balance between work and home.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Often, people see your capabilities more clearly than you do. Even if you do not have all of the answers, still go ahead and do it. You will learn along the way. Be honest, be yourself and don´t be afraid to admit you have gaps in your skillset or knowledge that you are in the process of filling. Don´t be afraid to ask for help, especially if you are having mental health or emotional issues. Own your confidence. Believe in yourself. Society cannot afford to think of childcare as being the woman´s responsibility. Parents need the freedom to create a family life that works for them. Everyone has things they need to work on and strengths. It has nothing to do with what gender you are. To grow a sustainable business, you need a proper structure and to employ people with the right strengths. Some people you should listen to, others you need to ignore. Being able to recognise the difference is an important skill. Be the best version of yourself. Think about how you are affecting others and aim to have a positive impact on them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Treat others as you wish to be treated. ´

‘A big part of being able to be brave, bold and beautiful is working on yourself.’

‘We´ve all got stuff that we need to work on. It´s just so not about gender.’

‘If you don´t, get that confidence piece worked out, everything else is a bit irrelevant.’

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.

DESCRIPTION

In this episode, Jeannette and Amy Rowlinson discuss Jeanette´s career and personal development journeys. In particular, what motivates her. The why that drove her to continually push herself to take on new and challenging roles. Before becoming an entrepreneur and mentor with a focus on equipping women to break through and secure more senior roles.

Amy and Jeanette share details of some of the lessons they have learned throughout their diverse careers. Lessons that anyone can use to help them to identify their why and find ways to do more of what they love.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Doing work that brings joy to other people is extremely fulfilling. Being open to new experiences helps you to learn fast and have fun while doing it. Often, your why evolves over time. So, periodically pause and review what is important to you. Working for yourself gives you the chance to broaden your perspective. It takes time to understand yourself, but once you do you really start to make progress. Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone keeps you learning. Podcasts are a great way to leverage your time and take inspiration from a wide variety of sources.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I really wanted to take a different path. Not to move away from everything I had done, just to broaden my perspective.’

‘I really want to leave a lasting legacy for my nieces and nephews. I like the idea of my impact continuing for generations.’

‘I feel really passionate about progress and helping people.’

What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Jamie York. A property investor, speaker, and entrepreneur. He is the co-owner of Aspire Property Group which includes a number of property-based companies including We Sell BMV.

Jamie speaks about what drives him. How his ambitions have grown as he has met each of his goals, for example paying for African kids to go through school has turned into wanting to build schools to help more kids. Jamie explains how he builds and maintains momentum, quickly recognises opportunities and uses them to the full. He and Jeannette also discuss money mindset, the power of compounding,

KEY TAKEAWAYS Get yourself educated. Jamie has invested £100,00+ in doing this, but he has made that back many, many times. Personal development exposes what is available to you. That makes you grow. It is important to appreciate what you have at the same time as wanting more. For Jamie, having a purpose is what makes him happy. Every person is a conduit of energy and money. Earning more money means you can help more people. You are the average of the five people that you surround yourself with. We all naturally act like those we associate with. Raise your standards. Whatever you set your bar at is what you will get back. When things go wrong, don´t get upset. Just accept it has happened and add something to the process to make sure it does not happen again. Every low point is an opportunity to learn, refocus and experience big highs, as a result. Don’t underestimate the power of compounding. It works in all areas of your life. Not just in money related matters. Be self-aware of who you are. Then constantly act upon it no matter what external factors are thrown at you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You have to have a growth mindset.’

‘What you can achieve in life is genuinely unlimited.’

‘There is no such thing as a self-made millionaire. The money I make now is as a result of the incredible team I surround myself with.’

‘A huge percentage of your learning comes from your losses.’

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

JAMIE YORK is a property investor, speaker, and entrepreneur. He is the co-owner of Aspire Property Group which includes a number of property-based companies including We Sell BMV, one of the largest deal sourcing companies in the UK. Jamie grew up in Kent and after some success in trading, purchased his first property at 19 years old with his now business partner: Dan Buchan. With little property experience, his first property purchase wasn't smooth sailing, and Jamie quickly realised he needed to get educated. After growing his property knowledge, Jamie then moved to Yorkshire and set up a Rent-to-Rent company, selling the company after about 4 years, and then forming Aspire Property Group which he has grown over the past 10 years to what it is today. A millionaire at 24 years old, Jamie has grown his property portfolio, and continues to invest and now trains others to enable them to have a firm understanding not only of business and property but also of the mindset that goes alongside being an entrepreneur.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Rob Slowen who owns several diverse businesses and has a property portfolio of 21 residential units. He has experience of taking start-ups from zero to generating millions in revenue.

Working as a pharmacist locum enabled him and his partner to travel, gain experience and explore various business models before setting up their own companies. Rob tells Jeannette about some of the issues they have faced as well as sharing details of their achievements. Including why buying abroad went badly wrong for them and how they got out of that situation. They talk about why Rob has decided to exit his business. Including, what he has done over the past few years to enable him to do so in the best way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting up businesses and multiple streams of income is hard work. But, in time, it provides you with a high level of freedom. Don´t be afraid to take calculated risks. Considering what would happen in the worst-case scenario will help you to make the right decision. Most of the time, you can go out and get a day job if something goes wrong. Side hustling is a good way of starting a business and hedging your bets. Ideal for the more risk-averse. Putting together a business plan will get you there sooner. It does not have to be a complicated document. Exiting a business is an emotional thing. It is also an event that needs to be planned carefully and in advance. Take the time to prepare everyone for your leaving and to find the right buyer. If there is something you want to do, provided it is realistic, you should do it. Be accountable when things are not going well.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You just know that you are going to run your own business. It´s in your DNA. ´

‘Take calculated risks.’

‘Never buy off-plan, there´s just too much that can go wrong.’

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Karen Gill and Maxine Benson. Two friends who created Everywoman. The first online community for women in business. An organisation that provides practical advice, support, and a strong voice for female entrepreneurs everywhere.

They explain why they set up the community and how they took it global. Delving deep into how and why they do things as they do. For example, why, initially, they ran women-only leadership workshops. They discuss how the work environment has changed, including the role men are playing in making it easier for women in the workplace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The world has finally woken up to the benefits of diversity, which is starting to help women in business. There are a lot of female entrepreneurs in places like India and North America. Most men now have the same aspirations for their daughters as they do for their sons - that wasn't always the case. Lots of men want cultural change and increasingly want to become effective advocates. Don’t focus on what the circumstances are, instead, focus on what you can do about them. Invest in yourself and get a mentor. Don’t leave yourself at the bottom of the list of priorities. Networking is a critical business skill that you should use internally as well as externally. Networking is a two-way thing. You will be helping the other person as well as yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We consciously surround ourselves with people that enable us to go out and serve the business.’

‘Most male CEOs have got the same aspirations for their daughter as for their sons.’

‘Utopia would be that there´s no need for diversity programmes.’

‘When you pour yourself into something, it does get personnel.’

In this episode, Jeannette walks you through the basics of setting up a property business. Her easy to follow 20 steps process is ideal for anyone who wants to get started in this sector or someone that has a small portfolio that they want to scale. She explains how to set yourself up for growth and do it in the right way.

Much of what she shares here is not widely spoken about. So, you are bound to learn something by listening. She covers practical things like how to get your business online as well as broader subjects. Such as mindset, financing, networking with agents, accounts and much, much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to set yourself up properly from day 1. You need to have a vision for yourself and your business. To know what you want to achieve. Work out what your strategy will be e.g., what part of the sector you want to be involved in. Understand the tax situation before you start. That way you will know whether to buy in your name or set up a Ltd business to buy under. Always seek advice from a financial advisor before setting up your business. Keep your business and personal finances completely separate. Look professional. Get business cards, a website, and a properly branded email address. Set up your social media profiles carefully. Jeannette shares some tips for this in the podcast. Get the right mindset. Telling others what you are doing will help you when it is time to find investors. You will need to use other professionals to get things done. Track down those people early, so that when you need them, they are there. Know your numbers. Understand what is profitable and what is not. Networking is vital. Estate agents and others will give you leads for great deals. Jeannette shares an easy way to make the personal connections you need. Have the information and documents that brokers will ask you for easily at hand. When seeking funds understand that you are providing that person with an opportunity, not just asking them for money.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Be clear on your vision, clear on your strategy and know where you´re going to invest.’

‘A lot in business is about mindset. You are what you tell yourself you are, so if you are a business investor, get it on your profile.’

‘Some estate agents are now asking for proof of funds before you can view a property.’

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.

Sarah also shares details of her mentoring service and business workshops.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Providing a great product for your clients is fulfilling and energising. Educate yourself properly, let go of the doubt, give it 100% and you will succeed. Things will go wrong. You just need to find a creative solution that will make your venture work. A different approach that adapts to the new circumstances. Building multiple options, fallback positions, into your plans creates a robust business. Don’t concentrate too much on the risks. Take account of them, draw up a way around them, then get on with things. Focus on offering something different and do it 100%. It is good to be in business with someone who has a different skillset from you so that you complement each other. If you run a business with your life partner, set aside time at home when you don´t talk about work. Mindset is vital in business. The more self-aware you are the easier it is to spot the triggers that lead you down the wrong path and creates unnecessary hurdles for you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Failure is not an option. Failure and doubt are two things that stop things from progressing. ´

‘Go through the risks. Lay them all out on the table. Make a plan for them. Then just get on with what you are doing.’

‘Put daily patterns or routines into your life that just bring the best out in you.’

‘Go bold or go home.’

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 Ann Marie Woodall – The High-Heeled Healer. She explains how she came to understand why she repeated negative behaviours and how she learned to break them. To make changes that greatly improved her life and inspired her to help others to do the same. They discuss how the belief systems you learn, often as a child, can hold you back if you let them. She shares how to examine them and decide which ones need to change to enable you to live a full life.

Anne Marie also talks about her cancer diagnosis and the alternative path she is using to live a full life despite the disease.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everyone is gifted. We each have something different and special to offer. Sharing your gifts helps others and enables you to grow, so share yours. Once you know that even bad things happen for a reason it is easier to recover and rebuild. Examine your belief systems to bring the power back to yourself. Are all of your belief systems true? Do they still work for you? Have you let one of your belief systems exert too much pressure and distort how you live? Regardless of the culture, you come from, everything still goes back to family and relationships. Abandonment, judgement, guilt, and pain zap your energy and make you smaller. Learning to let go and move on reverses that process. When you take the right approach, within 2 weeks things will change dramatically. Be receptive to help. There is always someone there with the right word and support. Fasting is powerful and has the potential to help you to heal. Don’t run away, just work on yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Everyone´s gifted. ´

‘I’m used to losing and starting. It doesn’t matter cuz you’re always learning something new.’

‘Everyone´s got different belief systems. Go back to that and ask is it true, does it work?’

‘Every day is a good day. Don’t ever give up.’

‘F.’

Secrets of a High-Heeled Healer : How to Find Purpose, Passion and Adventure

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why it is so important to pause sometimes to give yourself time to think. She then shares an easy to follow 5 step process anyone can use to create the time that you need to get clarity, capture creativity, and become far more effective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Giving yourself time to get clarity and capture your creativity will make you far more effective. When you are super busy it is all too easy to kid yourself that you are being productive. Often, the opposite is true. Most of us are so busy, that finding some thinking time seems impossible. You don't have to pause to ruminate for long to get good results - often 15 to 30 minutes is enough. Work out what time of the day your energy levels are at their peak. Ideally, that is the time you want to schedule time to think. Block out your thinking time in your diary. Remove all distractions. When you come up with an idea, pause and think about what the next step is for it. Are you going to delegate, do more research etc.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Sometimes we can be so busy doing stuff that we never give ourselves the space to think. ´

‘Block that time out in your diary.’

‘If nothing comes to you, that is also fine, that´s your brain taking a rest.’

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 Kev Orkian who is a top-notch comedian, actor, and multiple business owner. He is also the owner of The Jongulers Comedy Group. He has had a highly successful career, but he knew that many other performers were struggling. That was one of the reasons he now coaches and mentors as well as continuing to perform himself and run his other businesses. The stories of him and Priscilla Presley in panto and working with Dame Edna Everage are especially funny and provide an interesting lesson.

He explains how he coped with dyslexia and ADHD at a time when these conditions were not properly understood, nor accepted by his parents. Kev also provides insight into what it was like to be raised in an Armenian family by parents that were extremely strict and that disciplined using corporal punishment. He explains how that and the culture he was immersed in shaped him. In particular, how it and being bullied at school inspired him to be funny and turned him into someone that is not afraid of taking risks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is about believing that you can do it, then going out and doing it. Don´t let others around you put you off of following your dreams. The less you say to negative people about new ventures you are setting up the better. In this world if you need to take risks. Risks create opportunities and they create a life that you want. Tragedy and life problems can be used to build resilience. Always be in control of your own life. Don´t be afraid to say no to what looks like a big opportunity if there are too many strings attached. Everyone should have a FU account. Resources behind you that ensures you are never so desperate you have to say yes to something you don´t want to do. Open yourself up and be ready to receive positivity now. Use your positive voice to cancel out your negative voice. If you are given the chance to do a performance, say yes. Even if the pay is not great you never know who is watching and what could come from it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘For me, the battle was not my dream, it was fighting their (his parent´s) insecurities. ´

‘You need to hold yourself accountable, every single morning.’

‘Manifesting positivity is an incredible resource for you.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why 70% of people never fulfil their full potential. If you have a dream to become your own boss then you need to make that happen so that you make sure you live your dreams and don't let life pass you by. Jeannette shares how to work out whether working for yourself is right for you and the steps you will need to take to fulfil that dream.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Most people do not live their dreams or fulfil their full potential. Working for yourself can be a good way to find the freedom and flexibility you need to fulfil your potential. Be crystal clear about why you are doing it. What you want to achieve. You do not have to run a massive business to get what you want. Be clear about what your business idea is. At some point, you will need to hire people or outsource some tasks. Get your finances in order. Ideally, you want your bills to be covered, so you can focus on your energies on your business. You do not necessarily have to give up your day job to get started. Often, you can start it as a side hustle. Don´t procrastinate. Once you know being your own boss is right for you, get started.

BEST MOMENTS

‘70% of people never fulfil their potential. They don´t live their dreams´

‘Get clear on what your business idea is’

‘You only have one life…be brave, be bold, be brilliant'

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mark Wright who is famous for winning The Apprentice in 2010 and then subsequently becoming Lord Sugars’ business partner. Since then Mark has gone from strength to strength as a highly savvy businessman and entrepreneur as the Founder and CEO of Climb Online, a London-based results-driven digital marketing agency.

Mark reveals the behind the scenes secrets of being on the show, what it’s like to work with Lord Sugar and how his business experience has taken him from strength to strength. We also discuss how being out of kilter can be seriously damaging to your health and well-being, which is what happened when Mark came close to a breakdown.

They discuss financing a start-up, when to stop seeking private investment and how to succeed by getting your work-life balance right. As well as, how helping other people helps you and what business he would start if he suddenly lost everything.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Frequently, new experiences are what change your life for the better. Often, the best things happen after you have gone through a period of adversity. Spending time travelling and experiencing different cultures helps you massively in business. CoVid has pushed business owners to go online and get serious about digital marketing. There is a huge talent gap within the digital marketing industry. Work-life balance is vitally important. You will get sick if you push yourself too hard. Ignore the fake gurus. Be consistent. Don´t give up. Stick with what you are doing, and you will be successful. The more success you get the smaller your ego gets. You don´t need that validation anymore. The more you like and believe in yourself, the more you will achieve. The day you stop learning is the day you start dying. To be successful in business you’ve got to have rhinoceros’ skin. Be tough; ignore the critics and don’t take things personally.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Do everything 100%’

‘I started having a day off in the week. I felt great and was getting more done’

‘If you just work consistently on yourself, in all aspects, you will start doing better’

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.

ABOUT THE GUEST

After almost burning out in a high-powered corporate job as an Auditor and hitting one of the lowest points in her life, Vicky Martin wanted something that fulfilled the creative, people-focused, and entrepreneurial aspects of her personality. So, she became a Tattooist, specialising in the art of Micro-pigmentation. Every year she learns new styles and techniques and since 2012 she has been sharing her knowledge via her training school.

She is passionate about giving breast cancer survivors the absolute best medical tattooing results to finish their long, tough journey and leave them feeling whole again. So, fuelled by this passion and using her experience, blended with the global techniques she has learned, she created her method for tattooing the areola. Vicky now teaches her 3D Areola (VICKY MARTIN METHOD VMM®) to tattooists across the world.

Vicky also studied neuroscience. Her experiences have shown her that anyone can change their life through the way they think. That’s why her VMM® method is equally about the artwork and the mindset. She is also a qualified Neuro-Linguistic Programming, NLP practitioner and hypnotist.

She regularly speaks at events, around to world, on how to be UNSTOPPABLE. Vicky has created an online course and event called UNSTOPPABLE. She works to ensure that everyone can learn the skills they need to be able to live each day being the best possible version of themselves.

Her mission is to educate everyone she meets to live a fearless, happy life.

“What you do today can improve all your tomorrows, believe and stand tall”

BEST MOMENTS

‘You all have highs and lows…. we´re all human at the end of the day. ´

‘The more compelling your why is and clearer you are about it in your mind, the easier it will be when times are tough.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS At 17, Matt travelled to the USA so he could model his martial arts business on the way the multi-millionaire trainers ran things there. Matt learnt so much from his relationship with Michael Jackson that helped him grow as a person There are no limits, anyone can become successful in business. Matt could not write when he left school but that did not hold him back. Everybody has setbacks in their life no matter how successful they are. The more you put yourself out there, the more fans you have, but the more critics you have as well, which is something you have to learn to deal with positively. Educate yourself about finances - you need to know how to diversify and create long-term financial security for yourself. The people you associate with is critically important. Be especially careful about what and who you are exposed to via social media and your viewing habits. Take care of your health, make sure your body´s right. Money means nothing if you're not healthy. Be brave - take that first step - don´t procrastinate.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mal Barritt, the CEO of Traveltek Ltd. They discuss the impact living in Northern Ireland during the troubles had on him. Including, what happened when his father was nearly murdered.

Mal shares details of how he managed to get through these trying times and used them to build the resilience that led to his business success. He also shares how he used every opportunity to build his skills, how he sources the right people for the job and how he leverages tech and data to achieve fast results.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Living through troubling times builds resilience. You realise you can come through anything. Mal learned so much while working in customer-facing roles. The problem-solving and selling skills you learn during your early career are invaluable in senior roles. Succession planning is essential. Look after and develop your people. Investors want you to have skin in the game. If you have not put your own money in, why should they? There is a solution for every problem. Sometimes luck plays a role, but you won´t find it unless you actively look for it. Everyone can improve their circumstances. Surround yourself with positive people. When you do encounter negativity use it to galvanise yourself. To prove them wrong. Follow your dream and do it. You can always get another corporate job if things don´t work out. If you are bored, move on. Try something else. Working in a corporate environment enables you to build skills and experience that you can use to do your own thing later. Surrounding yourself with people who are better than you, provides your business with the best chance of success. Get yourself a mentor or a coach. Scalable tech enables you to go global and do it quickly. Using standard tech solutions that can be deployed in a modular fashion is flexible, resilient, and practical. Change your processes to work within the system rather than trying to get the system to work with your processes.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you can come through those sorts of challenges, then you can accomplish anything. ´

‘There´s always an opportunity to do better. Regardless of your circumstances.’

‘There´s always a solution for every problem. You´ve just got to dig deep to find it.’

‘Investors want you to have skin in the game.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Jan Mühlfeit, about his incredible career and life journey. He explains how he became the chairman of Microsoft Europe. Jan discusses how a life-changing bout of depression, which led to his being hospitalised, enabled him to eventually help other senior executives to achieve their full potential. Key to this is being aware of their mental faculties, understanding how to marshall them and use them in a healthy and effective way.

They also cover several other subjects including how to build strong teams, how to build success in emerging markets and how to move from the corporate world to working for yourself. Jan also runs seminars for children and parents that he and Katerina Novotna have developed to enable children to recognise and fully unlock their talents and potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Be brave - move outside of your comfort zone. Be bold – never lose the winner mindset. Remember, even if you are not paying attention, your subconscious mind is absorbing what you are seeing and hearing, which impacts your mindset, hugely. Enabling people to be themselves, but channelling their efforts is key to building a strong team. Continually learn and make it possible for those who work with you to do the same. Everyone needs to develop several skills and talents to make sure they always have options. You can’t be good at it all, so hire a good team. Everybody has something unique to offer. You can put yourself under stress for a while to achieve something, but you also need to give yourself time to rest and recover mentally, afterwards. Be aware of your emotions, act in line with your values and do something you love. Understand the power of networking and work on building your network every day.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Acute stress is fine provided you have enough recovery time.’

‘Whatever you put into the system is what you get back.’

‘I help people to understand who they are, so they can figure out who they can be.’

‘Aim to the moon - if you miss the moon, you are still among the stars.’

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Barbara Majeski who is a popular and recognized TV personality and lifestyle expert, in particular in the US. She has been featured on the TODAY show, Good Day New York, and many others. Barbara is now gaining a global following. Primarily by leveraging the power of social media. In particular, on new platforms like Clubhouse.

Barbara and Jeannette discuss her journey to success. Pulling out lessons everyone can use to achieve their personal and career goals, as they do so. Including how to shift your mindset, get through tough times, build resilience, and create win-wins that propel you forwards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Barbara launched her lifestyle career in her 40s, after battling stage 3 cancer. Taking care of her disabled brother, pushed Barbara to succeed and build resilience. It became her why. Helping others and giving back is energising and beneficial for you too. People are going to judge you anyway, so just do what you really want to do. Everyone has negative voices. Leave them on the bench and do it anyway. Reframing the narrative of the bad things you go through and enables you to connect with your higher calling. Often, your darkest moments are the ones that bring you the most clarity. The Law of Attraction works. Put what you want out in the universe. Then take action. Bounce back, when things go wrong, which they will occasionally. It builds resilience. It is OK to feel sorry for yourself, once in a while. But don´t allow yourself to think that way for long. When you are in a bad place, do something kind for someone else. That changes your mindset and provides the momentum to move on. Use the rocks other people throw at you to build yourself a castle. Clubhouse is a great way to really get to know people. Sharing how you have solved your issues helps others. Clubhouse is a particularly good place to do that.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Cancer didn´t just break me. It actually built me some new wheels to go for what I wanted. ´

‘Sometimes, we just have to change our narrative.’

‘Resilience is a muscle. It needs to be conditioned.’

‘You will be able to use all of the rocks that are thrown at you, at some point.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the fact that a lot of people never take action. She explains how you can avoid being one of them. How you can unlock your potential and achieve your dreams and have a lasting impact.

She explains the 7 reasons people settle for mediocrity, for second best. Then shares ways to ensure that you do not end up doing the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step is to accept the fact that 95% of people never fulfil their full potential. Make your mind up to be one of the 5% that does achieve. Understanding the underlying causes of why people settle for second best will help you not to do the same. Looking back at things and believing that things that went wrong in the past will happen again will hold you back. At any age, you can decide what you want to achieve and go for it. If you have accountability, you will absolutely take action. Spend your time with positive, go-getters. The people you surround yourself with impact who you become. You need a timeline to create urgency, which will push you to get going, keep going and get things done.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Understand the causes of mediocrity and why people settle for second best. ´

‘Understand your bigger picture.’

‘You have to work on your inner being. Your inner self before you get the external rewards.’

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 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Think Rich to Get Rich! New edition by T. Harv Eker (2007) Paperback

View Details

In Jeannette´s 100th Bold Brave and Brilliant podcast she speaks to Rob Moore, a serial entrepreneur, and the co-founder of Progressive Property. Despite Rob having been interviewed many times before, Jeannette uncovers some hidden gems in this interview. Including ideas and advice that Rob has never really shared before. As well as a deeper insight into his personal and entrepreneurial journey.

They discuss how his love of data, the creative process and not being afraid to be disruptive have contributed to his success. He explains how everyone can leverage what they know to help others and earn a great income. Rob also shares how he balances being a disruptive entrepreneur with family life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You have to measure how effective what you are doing is. Using solid, up-to-date data is essential. Tracking data takes away people covering their arse, conjecture, and wastage. It is not possible to plan everything. Sometimes when you see an opportunity you have to take action quickly. Having confidence, a solid team, and good skills already in place enables you to build fast. To be a creator you just need to know something others don´t and share that in a way that is useful to other people. The potential of the creator economy is huge. Social media is a necessary part of building your brand. You have to do it even if you don´t enjoy it. If you avoid the hard stuff or things, you don´t like doing you are never going to succeed in business. Be measured and considered, especially on social media. Use facts, not conjecture. Being able to make quick decisions, by tapping into your knowledge and intuition is a great skill to have. Be authentic, stop wasting energy trying to be something you are not. Recognise and use your strengths. Being brave is facing things that are scary to you and doing them anyway.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You cannot master what you do not measure. ´

‘build it as you go rather than build it before you go.’

‘Everything´s a business opportunity

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how turning your 'should dos' into 'must-dos' propels you forwards. This simple yet powerful mindset and action-taking change is something anyone can do. Jeannette quickly explains how in this podcast in 5 easy to understand steps.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all say that we should do things and don´t turn that into action. You don´t want to look back on your life and regret not having done things. Often, it is fear that stops people from doing their shoulds and turning their dreams into reality. Doing the hard stuff pays dividends and will do so for the rest of your life. Many successful people start with nothing. Despite this, they genuinely believe that they can achieve their dream and work hard to do so. Purpose can be about moving away from something. But sometimes it is about moving towards something. Every day take action to get to your goal. Even small actions add up to big change. See failure as growth. You never actually fail if you adapt and keep going.

BEST MOMENTS

‘So many of us don´t fulfill our dreams. ´

‘I know just how much potential is in each and every one of you.’

‘Just keep going because you will get there. You only ever fail if you give up.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mike Ruddock OBE, one of the most famous Welsh rugby union coaches of all time. What Mike doesn't know about rugby and creating high performing teams isn't worth knowing. Mike coached the Welsh national team to enormous success, as well as coaching Lansdowne FC, being the Director of Rugby at Worcester Warriors and today working with the Ospreys.

Just a few of Mike's accolades include Coaching Swansea RFC to two Welsh Championships and a Welsh Cup triumph in 1995, coaching Swansea RFC to a historic win over the Australian National team in 1992 as well as being Head Coach of the Welsh Rugby team that won the 6 Nations in 2005 (winning their first Welsh Grand Slam in 27 years).

He and Jeannette discuss his early life and how an industrial accident stopped his playing career at the age of 25, an event that led to his becoming a coach. He explains what that accident and working as a coach taught him about success and leading a happy life. They discuss what it takes to build a winning team and equip everyone to be able to fill other roles and progress throughout their life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all experience ups and downs. So, everyone needs to learn to be resilient. Telling the universe what you want to do and dreaming big, really does work. You have to work hard and take action to achieve your dream. But you can do it. Bloody hard work pays off. Reach out to the people you work with and listen to their feedback Don´t let your ego get in the way. Don´t be afraid to be vulnerable and ask for help. Value everyone´s opinions. There is no one right answer. Everyone needs to switch off for a while. Constant stress will break you eventually. Be self-aware, including recognising when you are going wrong, then doing something to fix it. Stay on top of things without being on top of things. Delegate, but don´t lose oversight. Know when it is time to hand the torch to the next generation and prepare everyone to be ready for that time. Put in place a talent pipeline. It future proofs your organisation. Take an interest in people´s lives to build strong relationships and keep the channels of communication open. You´ve got to fail to achieve.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Put it out there, tell the universe what you want to do. Dream big.’

‘Never underestimate contributions from the quieter members of your team.’

‘I underestimated the power of the mental gym.’

‘Be true to yourself and be self-aware.’

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 Nick James who is the founder and CEO of Expert Empires and The Elite Coaching Academy. He explains how he learned at an early age the importance of mindset and associating with positive and ambitious people, something he did when young, which inspired him to become an entrepreneur.

They discuss how Nick got started with coaching, leveraging his existing skills and knowledge to help others and make money while doing it. Nick shares his business philosophy and approach, explaining how it has enabled him to establish several successful companies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a lot of power in being surrounded by positive and ambitious people. If you have a business idea when you are young, take action sooner rather than later. The older you get the more responsibilities you have, the harder it is to take risks. For many entrepreneurs, their business becomes a big part of their identity. Building your self-worth around your business makes it extremely hard when you have to leave or sell it. Seek out ways to simplify what you do. When you have an idea, take action even if you only take a small step. Those small steps will take you towards something far bigger. Follow your gut instincts. Stand up for what you believe in. Remember to look after the customers you already have. Don´t fall into the trap of constantly chasing new leads. Make sure that your company is dynamic and daring.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Make decisions take action on those decisions. Follow your gut instincts. ´

‘My identity was linked to that business… so when I left, I lost all of my self-worth.’

‘How you make your money is far more important than how much money you make.’

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. If you’d like to learn more about mentoring with Jeannette email info@jeannettelinfootassociates.com

ABOUT THE GUEST

'Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

Within 12 months he was a top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.

He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!

Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.

He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.

Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme'

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Colin Nottage, the founder of a health and safety consultancy firm called Influential Management Group. After spending 25 years running several large health and safety departments, he has become a renowned expert in the field. Today, he is a podcaster, public speaker, and trainer.

Colin speaks about his unique approach, one which has helped him to stand out in his industry and secure excellent results. Later in the podcast, Colin talks candidly about his personal development journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If you are passionate about what you do, you will succeed. Don´t be afraid to walk away to do something positive that you believe in. Getting health and safety wrong changes lives for the worse. Everyone in an organisation needs to understand the business's health and safety goals. Firms that automatically blame the person who was injured stop learning and alienate their workforces. Health and safety failures have a hugely negative impact on brand reputation. Understanding how tasks are actually carried out is vital for putting in place robust and safe processes. Understanding your why is critical. Make positive decisions about your life and follow through. Identify things that you should be doing every single day to enable you to meet your goal and don´t miss a day of doing them. If something is important to you, you will find time to do it. Treat yourself as your most important customer. Make looking after your health a priority. Keep on reflecting, keep on challenging.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In life, you´ve got choices. You can either get frustrated and go with the flow or do something positive. ´

‘You´ve got these non-negotiable things that you´ve got to do every single day.’

‘If you can´t do anything about it, don´t worry.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do in business.’

This is the belief that Colin is passionate about and through his consultancy Influential Management Group (IMG) and his award-winning podcast The Interesting Health and Safety Podcast is able to spread into industry.

Colin works at a strategic level with company owners and board members. He helps business leaders establish and achieve their health and safety ambitions.

He has developed a number of leading competency improvement programmes that are delivered across industry and his strengths are his ability to take a practical approach to problem-solving and being able to liaise at all levels within an organisation.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to travel expert Ian Brooks. Ian has held several senior roles within the industry, including for Virgin and Eurostar. He is the co-founder of the innovative bed bank firm Medhotels.com and has been heavily involved with 8 other start-ups.

Ian takes Jeannette through his career journey, sharing details of what he learned along the way, including recognising good opportunities, how to turn negativity into something positive and why you should not be afraid of breaking the mould.

KEY TAKEAWAYS MedHotels grew from a standing start to £35 million in 3 years. Play the long game - often, if you stick with something it comes good in the end. Richard Branson is an incredibly positive person - he taught Ian to believe that the impossible is possible. At some point, you will fail in business. Don´t let it crush you, it is all a part of life. If you fail in a role, it does not mean you are a failure. Often, it just means the role or idea was not right. When you see an opportunity, take that leap, and take advantage of it. Find your edge, have something unique to offer. Be yourself, play to your strengths and hire others to cover for any weaknesses

BEST MOMENTS

‘Decisions made by committee are not great for business´

‘Your contacts, your network is so important in business. Never underestimate that’

‘Timing is quite important. If it’s the right time in your life, make that leap’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about transferable skills, which all of us have. She shares a simple 4-step process you can easily use to recognise what yours are and make the most of them.

Enabling you to be ready to grab any opportunities. As well as be ready to change roles or careers should that become desirable or necessary.

The advice Jeannette shares in this excellent podcast is for everybody. Regardless of their career path, stage, or age.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everyone has fantastic transferable skills that can be applied in a new environment. Even if you don´t realise it. Recognise yours and learn how to maximise and use them. It is especially important to do this now, at a time when being ready to quickly change roles is more likely. Recognising your skillset will help to ensure that you do not miss out on opportunities. Understanding what you are capable of will boost your confidence and encourage you to be bold and try new things. Sit down quietly and list out your skills and what you have to offer. Think outside the box and be creative when identifying your skills. Ask others that you trust what they think your skillset is. Identify any gaps you have. Then work to fill those gaps. Doing this is a great way to be ready for any opportunity or challenge you want to set yourself. Don´t get ready, be ready.

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. If you’d like to join Jeannette’s FREE Mastermind just DM Jeannette on jl@jeannettelinfootassociates.com

BEST MOMENTS

‘You all have fantastic transferable skills. Even if you don´t realise it. ´

‘Create a bit of space for yourself so that you can just sit quietly and think about all the transferable skills you have.’

‘Very often people will see things in you that you don´t see yourself.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Melissa Tilling CEO and founder of the social enterprise company Charitable Travel. Over her 34 years, she has filled many challenging, innovative, and often high-level roles within the industry. They talk in-depth about her long and varied career. Including her transitioning from a man to a woman, while she was the director of Funway. She shares the impact not being her true self had on her personal and work life, how she got help and successfully made her transition from male to female.

Melissa explains how social enterprise companies function and work to make a big difference in society. They also discuss the impact CoVid has had on the travel industry and the good it does, including what needs to be done to get large-scale tourism to developing countries restarted so that poverty-stricken families can once again earn a living.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is possible to make a social difference in your work life. Travel can be a huge force for good, particularly when it gives those in developing countries the chance to make a decent living. Social enterprise companies can be set up in a way that creates money for charities out of nothing. Charitable Travel works directly with 120 charities. The travel industry is ever-changing and working in it can be a very entrepreneurial experience. Be your true self - putting up a front is exhausting and counterproductive. People should be judged from a professional standpoint on how they conduct themselves and what they can achieve. Being prepared to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously is good for you and everyone around you. Do your best to find a role that makes you happy as well as pays the bills. Be tenacious. Never give up. Chase what you believe in.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I´ve always regarded travel as being a massive force for good, particularly … in the developing world. ´

‘In terms of maturity and self-awareness, you kind of get to the sod it stage. You don´t care what other people think.’

‘Transition certainly made me more authentic, empathetic, understanding and certainly less defensive’.

‘Brilliance is making a difference. It´s not about what you can do for yourself. It´s about what you can do for everybody else.’

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 explains what the fertile void stage in the Gestalt cycle is and how you can leverage it to make positive changes in your life. She explains how forcing yourself to hit the pause button at times of uncertainty, or turning points in your life, has huge benefits. Advice that you will see is particularly relevant now, in a world that has been radically changed by the CoVid crisis.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When your life is in a state of flux, your mind has the potential to be at its most creative. Your mind instinctively begins to sift through the options, including the more unusual ones. Often, those ideas represent great opportunities. But you need to give your mind time and space to work to take advantage of the fertile void. Staying in that fertile void will likely feel uncomfortable. Don´t panic and rush to fill the void by adopting the easiest solution. Instead, create some personal space to allow your mind to work.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

People who are involved in pro sports must learn how to handle rejection as well as success. Regardless of what is going on in your life, you cannot afford to get side-tracked. Focus on the things that you can control - don´t get distracted or worry about the things that are out of your hands. Do something every single day that contributes to achieving your goals. It's important to be able to recognise when it's time to change what you are doing. When you change your career, job, or retire, give yourself time to plan and prepare for that big change. Follow your own path, don´t worry about what others expect you to do. Be brave in your choices whether that is in your personal, career, or business life.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It´s just hard work and determination. Being dedicated to every single day. ´

‘Only you know when it is time to finish.’

‘Forget what other people say, forget what other people think. What you want to do with your life is your decision.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the importance of embracing the fact that you cannot have success without experiencing some failures. Nobody´s life is perfect.

Jeanette explains why it is important to accept that you will make mistakes. As well as the fact that on occasion things are not going to go your way. She shares how to embrace both of these potentially negative things and turn them into something positive. Ways you can use the bumps in life´s journey to propel yourselves forwards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Nobody is perfect. We all have our flaws and make mistakes. It is important to recognise this. On the journey to success, you are going to experience failures. People often put a version of themselves on social media that does not reflect their shadow side (the things that go wrong). It is not easy to embrace your shadow side. Doing so will hurt. But it is worth it. Often, difficult situations teach you stellar skills that you would not have otherwise developed. It is possible to embrace some of the negative things and channel them into something positive. When things go wrong don´t beat yourself up. Take the time to pause and really learn from those things that go wrong in your life. You cannot have gain without pain – that is just the balance of life.

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. If you’d like to join Jeannette’s FREE Mastermind just DM Jeannette on jl@jeannettelinfootassociates.com

BEST MOMENTS

‘The harsh reality of life is that at times things will go wrong. We won´t make everything a success’

‘If you don’t have those (negative) experiences… you´re not going to have the flipside of the really positive things.’

‘Really cut yourself some slack. We are all perfectly flawed in some way or another. And that's okay. ´

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the 3 golden S´s of space, silence, and stillness. She explains how creating space for yourself makes you calmer, more creative, and enables you to achieve more. Jeannette then steps you through 12 simple things you can do to create the space, silence, and stillness you need to refresh and focus yourself. Enabling you to feel great and achieve more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The 3 golden Ss are – Space, Silence, and Stillness. Ambitious action takers rarely pause long enough to give themselves the time and headspace they need to reenergize and refresh themselves. When you declutter your mind and create space for yourself you renew your energy. Giving yourself time and space helps you to come up with great ideas. You do not necessarily need to carve out a huge amount of time each day to make a positive difference. Yoga is an effective way to create space in your body, which is very rejuvenating. Yoga is highly adaptable, so it can be used by anyone, at any age. Meditation is a great way to calm and prepare yourself for something difficult. Just sitting in silence for a while has an amazingly positive impact on you. Being in nature is incredibly calming and rejuvenating. Having a good clear out is very cathartic. It could be as simple as sorting out a draw or getting rid of unnecessary apps on your phone. Periodically review your diary and stop setting aside time to do things that do not truly benefit you. Sitting for a while in silence creates a fertile void, which often leads to great ideas. Keeping a diary gets your thoughts out of your head, creating space for creativity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are the type of person that wants to progress and take action, you will find that you don´t always give yourself time and headspace. But it is important that you do. ´

‘Try something like yoga.’

‘Be ruthless... clear out your diary and create that space that we´re talking about, that stillness for yourself.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Alex Flynn who is an adventurer, writer, successful lawyer, and public speaker. He is a passionate advocate for Parkinson´s. A disease that he suffers from himself. Alex explains how the diagnosis led to deep depression, which he was able to overcome to become a highly effective advocate and fund-raiser for Parkinson’s sufferers. He shares details of how he built up his mental strength and resilience. To the point where he has been able to complete numerous extreme physical endurance challenges. Including multiple fund-raising extreme marathons and desert runs.

During the podcast, Alex explains how he achieved that mindset, to help others to do the same and overcome the challenges in their own lives. In 2022, he will be climbing Everest to “put Parkinson´s on top of the world”. Alex talks about how he plans to do that, and the role listeners can play in helping him to achieve that challenge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Parkinson´s affects far more people than you think (1 in 15). It is a debilitating neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to move and function. People with these conditions lose self-confidence, self-worth, and their position in society. Parkinson´s crushes you physically that can in turn lead to your being crushed spiritually. Despite Parkinson´s Alex has still completed many arduous physical challenges. For some Parkinson´s sufferers crossing their living room is their Everest. Setting and achieving smaller physical goals generates strength to carry on and achieve the much bigger physical challenges. Seize every opportunity and take it as far as you can go. Strength is not a physical thing. Strength is deciding to never give up and having the courage to take the next step.

BEST MOMENTS

‘One in 15 people will contract Parkinson´s during their lifetime. ´

‘I am excited, scared, energized and optimistic that I will summit the mountain (Everest) and put Parkinson´s on top of the world’

‘If you have a neurological disease – I want to tell you, you are not alone. There is a world of people out there with the same thing as you. ´

‘Strength is a state of mind, never, ever forget it. ´

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Johan Lundgren, Group CEO of EasyJet serving 100 million customers every year (pre-covid). They talk about his incredible career, how Johan wanted to be a professional classic trombonist originally but then started his journey in the travel industry starting out as a tour guide, becoming MD at the age of 29 and then progressing to become CEO. Johan shares many of the lessons he learned along the way and tips that anyone can apply to their business or role.

Jeannette and Johan discuss the benefits of diversity in the workplace and explains how his organization has achieved the right mix and balance without relying on positive discrimination. He talks about why EasyJet is run as an egalitarian company and the approach they have taken to successfully deal with the fallout from the CoVid crisis.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Take the opportunities as they come. If you discover that you cannot follow your dream for some reason, don´t give up find a new one. Spending time working at the coalface teaches you so much about your customer and industry. When making decisions, always ask yourself what impact it is going to have on your customer. Having a diverse and inclusive workforce brings many commercial benefits. When people with different perspectives work on a common goal the results are always better. Letting everyone express themselves in the most natural way creates energy and passion within an organisation. A good leader, leads by example and provides the framework for a motivated team to succeed. Johan has had to deal with multiple challenges at Easyjet - Brexit, Covid pandemic, data breach and shareholder activism. When faced with a big problem, break it down into pieces and assign a team to tackle each aspect. To make sense of a big problem and stay on track, focus on the outcome and what you're trying to achieve. Whatever difficulties have happened the day before, tomorrow is another day. When working as a leader, be yourself and be authentic. When you're younger you often feel you should behave in a certain way but with age and experience you learn to be more comfortable in yourself. Having mentors is critical to success Setting out to be proud of what you're doing gives you energy, and is a core part of Johan's true purpose Every day when you wake up you have the opportunity to be a little better than you were yesterday. Choose a career you feel passionate about - you're going to be spending a lot of time on it, so it needs to be engaging. Don’t be intellectually lazy, don´t be afraid to push things and go beyond good enough.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Take the opportunities as they come.’

‘Be at your best and do what you think you´re capable of doing and be a force for good. ´

‘The best outcomes come by having people who have different experiences come together to achieve a common goal. ´

‘Authenticity is absolutely critical when it comes to successful leadership. ´

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Recognize your skills and play to your strengths. You progress faster when you do this. Working on something new will ignite passion in you. A positive attitude is important. But it is something you have to actively cultivate. Self-belief is probably the most important thing you can have. Recognize imposter syndrome in yourself and take steps to tackle that issue.

Be brave and ask about opportunities and for help. Carve out time for yourself to learn and enjoy new things. It is nurturing, as well as providing you with new skills. Work on your weaknesses. But focus most of your time on using and maximizing the things and skilly you are already good at.

BEST MOMENTS

‘To work on something new always gives me lots of passion.’

‘Three people in my life saw lots of potential in me and they gave me concrete and real opportunities. ´

‘Know yourself. Know what you are good at take that and make it explode. ´

ABOUT THE GUEST

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Alex Chisnall, the host of the #1 entrepreneurship podcast screwitjustdoit and founder of the Podpreneur agency. Alex is a mentor and start-up specialist who has helped 500+ entrepreneurs to secure £5m in funding to launch and grow their brands.

He and Jeannette talk about his nearly 2 decades working for Virgin, including some of the lessons he learned from Richard Branson that enabled him to successfully launch his businesses. Alex explains how he has managed to set up successful businesses across several industries. He shares tips to help entrepreneurs to stop procrastinating, take action and find success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

With a regular job, there is always a ceiling on how much you can earn. It’s not always necessary to take big risks to become a successful entrepreneur. Believe in yourself. Don´t let the doubts of others put you off. You need to be bold, make a decision and take action. Procrastination is your enemy. If you get involved in something and realize it is not for you, don´t be too proud to recognize that fact and change direction. You need tenacity to get you through the tough times. Focus in on one thing at a time. Get that making money, then expand. Don´t overthink things and procrastinate, but make sure that you still do your due diligence.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can be entrepreneurial within an organization.’

‘Between success and failure, there is a fine margin. ´

‘Just be decisive, be bold. ´

‘Focus in on one thing at a time, get that making money before switching your focus to something else. ´

The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks with David Siegler who is a businessman, property investor, public speaker, and trainer. He started his working life in retail and has been investing in property since 1977. David and Jeannette talk about his careers in retail and property and discuss how he became a popular public speaker. He explains the principles and approaches he has used to succeed while following multiple career paths.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is not uncommon for people to be fearful of selling and to struggle to close deals. Believing in what you're selling is important. Pointing out the opportunity and benefits of what you are selling is highly effective. You have to practice the things that make you money. Effective marketing is an essential skill. Don´t wait for opportunities to be presented to you, instead put yourself out there. Be clear about why you are doing stuff - you need to understand what you are trying to achieve. Being yourself, instead of putting up a front, makes things far easier in the long run. Regardless of the career you choose, being a good communicator brings huge benefits. Having people around you to support you is important for success.

BEST MOMENTS

‘So often people are waiting for opportunities to be presented to them… you have to put yourself out there. ´

‘Practice makes perfect, you have to practice the things that make you money.’

‘It´s very difficult to do it on your own. I think you have to have people around you who think you can do it.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

In 2014 David Siegler first joined Progressive Property, despite already having a property portfolio generating enough money to live a comfortable lifestyle. However, David threw himself into property training, got himself educated and along with his vast experience of being in property through numerous property cycles his property business has gone from strength to strength. Now, David has over 35 years’ experience in property and his own portfolio of 26 units, with a rent roll in in excess of £10k per month.

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Pete Cohen, who is best known for his TV career, but he is also a high-performance coach, author of 19 books, a public speaker, and an expert podcaster. He is on a mission to help 10 million people to live an extraordinary life and do so by design. Pete shows people how to create a new version of themselves.

Pete shares details of his upbringing and life journey alongside tips you can use to improve your life and achieve your potential. Jeannette and Pete also explain how adversity and even failure can be used to make positive change.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Giving back feels so great because the desire to help others is a fundamental human trait. Helping others helps you. Find the positive in negative situations. Reinvention is a powerful thing, and it is something that anyone can do. Wanting to be the best that you can be is a great driver. We can all inspire others by our actions and achievements. Pain can drive you forwards. Michael Jordan was dropped from his school team. His Mom told him to take action and show them that they were wrong. It's becoming more acceptable to talk about your struggles, which is good, but you also need to act. Minimise the fallout from failure by viewing it as a learning experience. Don´t let fear, the judgment of others, or failure stop you from trying something. If you give it a go and it doesn´t work, it doesn´t matter. Just give it another go. Focus on the opportunities, the good that can come out of what you are doing. There´s no substitute for hard work.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We are all bold, brave, and brilliant. But we can all become more brave, bold, and brilliant. ´

‘Personal reinvention is a really powerful thing.’

‘Learn to think greater – thoughts create emotions and emotion is what produces motion.’

‘It’s not about what I have achieved it is what I can do for you.’

In this episode, Jeannette explains why having a purpose and strong reasons for living your life in certain ways is so important for happiness and success. How having a strong why will carry you through the lows, enabling you to achieve your dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are two things (forces) that push us forwards. Needing to get out of a bad situation or having something we desperately want to achieve. The dream that you have needs to be so attractive to you that you are compelled to fulfil it. When things are not going well, pause and remember why you are trying to achieve that dream. The more compelling your reasons why are the more likely they are going to pull you forward. When bad situations force you to change, focusing on what you stand to gain rather than just on what you are about to lose will help you to stay positive.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is important to have a compelling reason why. ´

‘Pull is something that attracts you to it, it´s compelling.’

‘(when getting away from a bad situation) focus on moving towards something positive, rather than moving on away from something negative.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Paul Lowe founder of World Game-Changers, coach, mentor, writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur. His 3 Pillars of Life' model enabled him to overcome terrible life experiences. To leave a life of addiction, violence, and self-destructive tendencies behind. He and Jeanette discuss that journey and Paul shares practical advice that anyone can start using immediately to improve their life.

Paul also speaks about philanthropy. Explaining the benefits, it brings to everyone and how to make it a part of your life to help you to improve your situation and that of others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everyone needs a purpose, a why, to enable them to create a path through adversity for themselves. We all need the love and support of others. Take the good from bad situations. You can learn from them and use that to benefit yourself and others in the future. You also need to let go of the negative things about that situation. Let it go - are the most important words you can say to anyone. Self-love is something that a lot of people struggle with because they think they are being selfish. Self-love is not selfish – you need to be in good shape to be able to help others. Don´t wait to reach rock bottom to start working on dealing with your issues and learning to love yourself. You are never too old to learn, do something different and improve your life. We are all a work in progress until the day we die. If you aim to leave the world a better place than when you found it, you will do a lot of good. Little changes make a huge difference in how you feel and what you can achieve. Everyone has something to offer, which means we are all great, one way or another. However dark things get, don´t give up, there are people out there that care and will help. You will find a way through.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I had neither the intellectual or emotional stability nor capability, intelligence or awareness... to understand that what was going off was raw survival. ´

‘There´s always a way out.’

‘If you don´t love yourself, you don´t like yourself and you don´t take care of yourself.’

‘In life, you can only get on the back of one horse. You can´t ride two, so choose wisely.’

In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Matt Rudman of Mindset Explosion. They discuss ow putting herself out into the world in a certain way has reaped huge rewards- Enabling her to set up and run multiple successful busines in a relatively short period. The talk about using Clubhouse to network and why hiring a mentor is such an empowering and effective thing to do. As well as touching on subjects such as diversity in the business world and her work with The Founder´s Factory and everywoman. Jeannette then rounds things up by sharing details of her free masterclass podcasts, which are designed to get people started on the journey to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Jeannette loved her job. But wanted to do something for herself and have the freedom to make her own choices. Sometimes you need to be brave – stop what you are doing and try something else. Not everything needs to be planned out fully in advance. For Jeanette, the kind of business she runs evolved over time. Taking a step back and gives you the headspace to work out what you really want to do. As you age you become more self-aware which helps you to make wiser life choices. Growing as a person is important. It plays a big role in happiness and success. Don´t be afraid to try something new. When you put yourself out there into the world in a certain way, often opportunities come to you. Most successful people say that they “just put it out into the universe”. The new social media platform Clubhouse is a great way to meet new people, network and uncover new opportunities. The property industry attracts a lot of women, who are very successful at it. In business, working with a diverse group of people brings benefits and aids success. Being open-minded enables you to come up with ideas, not be afraid to do things differently and recognise opportunities. Being curious and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone enables you acquire new skills and grow fast.

"If you put yourself in the way of opportunity and give it a go you never know where that might lead."

"The more you see yourself grow the more you realise there are no boundaries."

"If you are brave and you just kind of give it a go, all of a sudden things can evolve over time."

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Tony Courtney Brown, founder of Bio-Resonance Clinic. Tony shares his story, including some truly traumatic events and issues that eventually led to severe mental health issues. He explains how he got through those tough times and managed to get his life back on track and was able to use his experiences to build a successful business. A clinic that works to help people to tap into the body's ability to heal and rebalance itself. Tony explains how everyone can regain their equilibrium, find their ´why´, and pursue that to enjoy a fulfilling life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When learning something complicated break it down into smaller steps to make it more manageable. If you are too stressed when trying to learn something complicated, it won´t go in. It is important to know your ´why´, if you don´t you will drift. When you simply drift through life you can easily get into a rut and end up spending most of your time doing things you don´t really like. The people you spend time with have a huge impact on the kind of life you lead. Self-belief is vital. Don't hold things in, you need to talk to someone about the issues you are facing in life. If you don't you are highly likely to suffer from mental health problems. Bringing your body back into harmony enables your it´s healing processes to work properly again. The human body is designed to heal itself. Work out who you are, stick with that and be true to yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are trying to learn something complicated and you´re too stressed you won´t take it in. ´

‘What beliefs you have make a huge difference to what you do.’

‘The human body is made to heal itself.’

‘Tune into your gut, be guided by that.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Tony has encountered and overcome a number of challenges in his life including: Cultural and racial identity confusion Parental rejection and violence Mental illness including severe depression and a suicide attempt resulting in being sectioned and detained under the Mental Health Act. 29 sessions of Electro-Convulsive Therapy and 48 years of anti-depressants Homelessness and unemployment Addiction to drink and drugs A cancer scare which turned his life around

In this episode, Jeannette speaks about the importance of going on your own journey and doing things at your own pace. She shares several examples of extraordinarily successful people who have done exactly that. Then quickly outlines how you can identify and follow your own path at your own pace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everyone is different, which is why a one size fits all approach to life and careers does not work. People need to move at their own pace. For example, not everyone is ready to launch into a lifelong career immediately after leaving school. There is nothing that says you have to set up a successful business when you are still young. Many phenomenally successful people have not had a traditional university education. Some are even dyslexic. Some people never have kids, others have theirs with several different partners. Not everyone wants or needs a nuclear family to be happy. Einstein said: “Not everything that counts can be counted” (identified and quantified) If you don´t yet know what you want out of life, don´t beat yourself up. It will become clear to you over time. Don´t be pressured by other people and what you think is expected of you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Going at your own pace and creating your own journey is so important.’

‘Embrace the fact that it’s your life. It´s not anyone else´s life. ´

‘Choose the things that are going to make you happy and not someone else.’

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Dodge Woodall who is the founder and CEO of Bournemouth 7´s Festival. He has his own podcast and is the co-host of the Harry Redknapp podcast. Dodge started to make money at the age of 10 and has been an entrepreneur ever since.

As a student, he spotted a huge gap in the market, ended up running 12 nightclub parties every week, then switched to festivals and decided to take the unique approach of combining sports tournaments with live music in a field. Dodge also explains how he found a way to deliver tailored sports kits in 4 instead of 12 weeks, changing the industry in the process. He also talks about the creation of his event management course, which enables students to gain a recognized qualification in months instead of spending years at university studying for an events degree.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Win-win deals enable you to reliably make money. We are surrounded by opportunities to make a deal or sell. Being yourself is key to success. Keep your personal and work life simple. If you are passionate about something, do it - merge your passion with your profession. When you have an idea, get a brand logo made, taking that small step commits you to do something about it. Don´t let fear rule you, stop worrying about the future and live in the now. Stop feeling guilty about the past, you can´t change it, so don´t let it drag you down. Think about how you can do things differently and do it better. Finding weaknesses in other businesses, and finding solutions, is a great way to come up with business ideas and beat the competition. Be curious and ask lots of questions. CoVid has created opportunities as well as problems and will continue to do so. If something doesn't work, it's not a failure, you might just need tweak it. Just get up and do it!

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you´re straight and you`re authentic…and you create win-wins, people want to do business with you ´

‘I work hard at keeping life and business simple.’

‘Merge your passion with your business.’

In this episode, Jeannette shares effective ways to shape your personal and business brands in ways that achieve permanent change. She explains why what you tell yourself you are has such a profound impact on what you achieve. Jeanette shares 5 tips anyone can use to build a strong personal identity and a powerful brand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

What you tell yourself you are has a big impact on what you can become. Most of us have at least some self-limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs can be carried over from childhood or be because you have been in the same role for so long. The stories you tell yourself speak to your subconscious mind that is why they are so powerful. Set up your brand to reflect the type of business you are planning to end up with. Creating a strong identity for your company pushes you to deliver on that. None of this happens without you following through with action. In the business context identity equals brand. When you have a strong identity, you will own the space. Imposter syndrome leads to you getting in your own way. Identify the thing that makes you stand out from your competitors. Decide on what you want to create and achieve. Market the hell out of your personal brand.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What you tell yourself you are is absolutely what you end up achieving and being in life.’

‘What absolutely does make us happy is when we feel we´re moving forward and being true to ourselves. ´

‘Identify and articulate what your competitive advantage is.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Steve Endacott, serial entrepreneur, director, chairman and founder of multiple travel, leisure, tech, and financial services businesses. Steve is unsurprisingly seen as a thought leader and, in the past year alone, has founded three new businesses and is involved with managing several others.

After quickly outlining his varied career, including why at the age of 25 he said no to a huge opportunity and went traveling instead, Steve explains how he has managed to work at a senior level in several firms while founding and successfully running his own businesses. He shares details of how he manages his work-life balance, repeatedly building successful teams and handling wrapping up or selling a business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Travel makes you grow up quickly and turns you into a well-rounded person. Working in an environment that suits you enables you to flourish and achieve. Going bust teaches you a huge amount. When a business is in trouble, there sometimes comes a point where it is better to give up rather than carry on - fail fast, move on. The more people you have working for you the more emotionally engaged you are and the harder it is to give up and let a floundering business fold. There is no point in earning lots of money only to take it to the grave - make time to enjoy the rewards. Don´t forget about your partner at home, it is easy to get too wrapped up in work. Think about the people around you and treat them fairly. Keep a note of the ideas you have, so when you have time you always have something new to launch. Share the profits with the people who run the business and gradually step away. When it is time to sell it will be much easier to find a buyer. Build a team that includes skills you don´t have and sees things differently.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Traveling made me a much more rounded, much more competent person.’

‘The best thing that´s ever happened to me was failure. ´

‘Work is one thing, but you´ve got to enjoy the rewards.’

In this episode, Jeannette shares some of the tips she has picked up over the years that have helped her and her clients to scale and grow their businesses. The advice she shares works equally as well for those workers who want to help the firm that they work for to grow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When it comes to growth you need a money mindset. If you do not believe that you can grow, how are you going to convince anyone else that you can do it and get them to invest? You need to know your customer. Especially what problems you are solving for them. Don´t try to spread yourself too thinly. Spend time with your customers in a close and personal way. Create something your customer cannot live without. Jeannette provides you with a few pointers to help you to do that. Learn how to over-deliver. Data proves this drives growth. Hire people who are smarter than yourself then get out of their way and let them do the job. Understand that there is good and bad debt. You can use debt to power growth. Every business needs liquidity to be able to grow. Use systems and processes so you can hand off work to others. If you can´t do that, your business growth is limited to how much you can get done.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You have to get yourself in the right mindset in order to grow.’

‘Do you really know your customer? Do you know them inside out? Are you in their heads? ´

‘Hire people who are smarter than yourself.’

‘If your business cannot run without you in it every single day it´s going to be very difficult to scale.’

In this episode, Jeannette shares 5 tips to help you to get rid of feeling guilty about things that you have nothing to feel guilty about. As well as how to process those feelings in a healthy way should you make a mistake or fail to do something.

Jeannette starts by looking at the neuroscience behind why we feel guilty. She then shares her tips to help you break free of negative guilt cycles and avoid getting into them in the first place.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Feeling guilty all the time and beating yourself up is not healthy. Sometimes you feel guilty about things you haven´t done e.g., not getting through your to-do list. Guilt performs a powerful social function – it helps to govern our behaviour. There is a good neuroscience reason behind feeling guilty. Jeannette explains the mechanism in the podcast. We all tend to blow things out of proportion and feel really guilty about relatively small errors. Doing one bad thing does not make you a bad person. Be kind to yourself and forgive yourself. Apologizing helps to assuage guilt, but you need to be careful about how you do it. Jeannette explains in the podcast. Learning from the mistakes you make and the things you do wrong is still important. It just needs to be done in a balanced way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Sometimes you can feel guilty even for the things you haven´t done.’

‘Actually, our brains reward us for feelings of guilt. ´

‘But when it comes to feelings of guilt, you know, sometimes we blow it up out of all proportion.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Mark Ormrod MBE, a Royal Marines veteran, who became a triple amputee when an improvised explosive device exploded while he was on foot patrol. Despite that, he recovered to the point where he now leads a full and active life and is a true inspiration to so many. Mark competed in 2 Invictus Games, winning 4 gold, 4 silver, and 3 bronze medals. Today, he is an inspirational speaker, podcaster, property investor and author who has also spent 10 years working in the charity sector.

Mark explains how he managed to fight his way back to fitness after being told by one doctor he would never walk again. He shares some of the many lessons he learned. Including how this experience has shaped his life and enabled him to achieve so much since being injured. Including how it has helped him to succeed in business and his personal life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mark was the first triple amputee in the UK since WWI so there was no roadmap for his recovery. Having someone who has been through something before you provide guidance makes the world of difference. When you see someone else do what others say is impossible, you know you can do the same and it motivates you. To get back to walking Mark had to carry on even when he was in pain and bleeding. Incremental gains still get you there - 1% is still progress. If you have something big to achieve, you need to break it down into smaller realistic goals to get there. Tragedy can open doors for you and provide opportunities, but it is up to you to take the next step and take advantage of them. There are tons of ways to make a good living, especially online. Have the right mindset and just take action. Don´t overcomplicate things. It's amazing what a good cry can achieve, it really can purge everything out of you. If you are at rock bottom you have to set a goal and work towards it. When you get things back on track after tragedy, stay humble and find ways to give back. Don’t be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If there´s something that you want to accomplish the fastest and easiest way to do it is to find someone who´s already accomplished it.’

‘In less than a year, I went from a guy telling me I´m going to be in a wheelchair to not even owning one. ´

‘Incremental gains – 1% is still progress.’

‘The resources are there if you want to go out and do something.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

In the early hours of Christmas Eve 2007, Royal Marines Commando Mark Ormrod was out on a routine foot patrol in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan when he stepped on and triggered an Improvised Explosive Device. Thanks to the swift action of the men around him and the intervention of the Medical Emergency Response Team he was airlifted via helicopter to an emergency field hospital in a desperate attempt to try and save his life. An innovative and dangerous procedure carried out onboard a Chinook helicopter en route to the hospital did save his life. He woke up three days later in the UK in Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham: Both legs amputated above the knee and his right arm amputated above the elbow. He was the UK’s first triple amputee to survive the Afghanistan conflict.

During his recovery the doctors told him that he’d never walk again and that he should prepare himself for the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Now it would have been understandable for Mark to bitterly withdraw in a state of anger and depression and to resign himself to live life on the sidelines. It would have been easy for him to cash in his disability pension and whittle away the days, forever regretting the decision to join the Marines and to deploy to Afghanistan, but he didn’t. To the contrary he used his set back as a springboard for growth and reinvention.

Today, Mark Ormrod is an internationally acclaimed motivational speaker, a peak performance coach, and the author of the award winning auto-biography Man Down. He is a source of daily inspiration for the thousands of people who follow him on Social Media. He has three children, a beautiful wife and an insatiable lust for life. He is a relentless charitable fund-raiser and a daredevil who has performed stunts that many able bodied athletes would find daunting. He has not used a wheel chair since June 9th 2009 and he jokes about the fact that children call him Iron-Man because of his high-tech prosthetics legs. As well as a peak performance coach he is a mentor and a role model to other amputees and an ambassador for the Royal Marines Association. His sense of humour is only equalled by his sense of wonder, love for learning and love for life.

Mark Ormrod turned his personal tragedy into an on going story of personal success and he is now committed to helping others who may have suffered setbacks or feel they are not yet achieving their maximum potential to take charge of their lives, unleash their personal power and live a life with #NoLimits

In this episode, Jeannette shares 3 of the areas business leaders need to focus on to achieve success. The advice she provides applies to all business leaders regardless of the size of the enterprise they are running. Her advice applies equally to those that lead teams within a business. Jeanette takes her listeners through the tried and tested method that keeps her business growing.

If you feel that you are wading through mud and are struggling to work out what to focus on, this podcast is for you. It shows you how to prioritize profit, growth, and brand reputation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You need clarity and focus to take your business forward. Those that lead teams within a company also need this clarity and focus. It is not unusual for business leaders to feel lost, at times. But you can easily solve that issue and find the clarity you need. Good people are essential – without them, you cannot take your business in the direction you have chosen. Sit down, without distractions, and identify the projects and tasks you are currently spending time on as a business. Identify whether profit, growth, or brand reputation is most important, at the moment. Jeanette explains how to do this in the podcast. Having worked out where your focus should be, it is time to create an action plan. Incorporating targets into the action plan will keep things moving forward. Periodically reviewing whether you are still focusing on the right areas for your business will ensure you stay current and relevant.

BEST MOMENTS

‘People think you’re the boss, you’ve got all the answers, often that is not the case.’

‘Create the right environment to get your head around where you are now. ´

‘If you don´t follow up with action, it is meaningless really.’

Do you want to fly higher and faster with less effort? Listen to this podcast to start yourself on that path.

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Rory Underwood MBE, a former RAF flight-lieutenant, England’s rugby union record try scorer, and now CEO of his consultancy business Wingman. During his 14-year rugby career, he became England´s highest try scorer, a record he still holds to this day! His RAF flight safety role and top rugby career both taught him how to perform to an exceptionally high level. Rory has since founded Wingman, a development and performance consultancy, to help businesses, teams and individuals create and sustain high performance. During the podcast, Rory explains why he founded Wingman and the unique techniques he uses to enable his clients to perform and fulfil their potential.

Rory explains how he managed to combine family life with working full-time and playing rugby at the highest level, achieving the elusive work-life balance. Jeannette and Rory also discuss how his early life shaped his outlook and his approach to business. In the podcast, Rory shares a wealth of information that every business owner can benefit from applying, regardless of size or industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS With the right mindset and discipline, it’s possible to excel at several things at once - my job was flying jets for the RAF, my hobby was playing rugby for England & Leicester Tigers! Wingman covers all 3 aspects of Rory’s career of flying, sports and business. Strive to be the best you can be in everything you do. As soon as you know something let people know what’s going on – ‘work on the basis of no surprises’. It’s good to be optimistic, with a small element of pessimism, so you’re ready should things go wrong. A sense of resilience is really important to overcome and give things a go. Training, education and teamwork can be used to mitigate risk. Work-life balance does not necessarily mean 50:50, the split will be different for different people. As an entrepreneur you’re your worst boss, ‘you don’t pay yourself enough and don’t give yourself enough time off’ – it’s important to block downtime for yourself. Fundamentally as human beings we all make mistakes. Mutually beneficial relationships are key, and having the ability to work with like-minded people is a good place to be. For any business communication is key. In the podcast, Rory explains how to open up communication channels. If someone asks you what sounds like a stupid question, you have not explained it well enough. Being able to explain complicated things simply to potential clients helps you to sell more. Lots of people have the same challenges, so talk about it and you will get support and clarity Understanding what you as a company are trying to achieve and being customer-facing is essential. At some point as an entrepreneur you have to let go of the reigns High performance comes from having clarity of purpose, the right people, and efficient processes. Identify what is causing the drag in your businesses in order to lift your business and help you grow. Listen to anyone that wants to talk to you, but remember it is you that decides what to take from that conversation.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I´ve always been an optimist with a small percentage of pessimism. Always looked on the bright side but also been ready for when it goes wrong.´

‘The only mistake you’ll ever make is the one you don’t learn from’

‘If you can´t describe something complicated, simply, then you don´t really understand it’

‘There are lots of people out there who are facing the same interesting challenges, so talk about it’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Rory Underwood is probably best known for his international rugby career. Not only for scoring a record 49 tries for England (95 caps, 1984-1996) but also for winning 7 caps for the British Lions touring Australia (1989) and New Zealand (1993). Rory played first class rugby at Leicester Tigers for an unbelievable 14 years and was awarded the MBE in 1992 for his services for rugby. Rory joined the Board of Leicester Tigers as a non-executive Director in Nov 2007.

Throughout this record-breaking rugby career Rory amassed 3000 hours flying as a pilot in his 18 years in the Royal Air Force. During his RAF career he flew the Jet Provost TMk5A, Hawk TMk1A, Tornado GR1, Canberra T17 and the Dominie. He was responsible for introducing Crew Resources Management (CRM) training into the RAF, thereby developing a culture where personnel look at how teamwork and decision making is effected in time limited stressful situations.

Rory has a specific interest and expertise in the areas of effective communication and high performance leadership within teams. His experience and insight gained through his stellar rugby and RAF career has allowed him to bring a different perspective into the performance of business teams. He is an experienced facilitator, psychometric profiler and performance coach.

He explores the relationship between values and motivation that is bound together by trust to enable you to create and sustain a high performance team ethos within the organisation.

Rory combines the wealth of experience from international sport, the military, extreme human achievement and the tried and tested formula of personal and team development to create processes for individuals, teams and organisations to inspire performance.

In this episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Laura Muse for the Social Propertypreneur podcast. They discuss how Jeannette runs multiple businesses, at once, including property investing. She shares details of her work as a property investor, mentor, board advisor and consultant, including some of the advice and tips, she gives to her clients.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Anyone can achieve their potential in life. Role models play a vital role in tackling inequality of all kinds. If you see a role where you can do 70% of it, don´t focus on the 30% you have no direct experience of doing. Apply anyway. Everyone is different. There is no one size fits all solution. A mentor will tailor their approach to suit you so that you can make fast progress. Self-belief is critical to success. Imposter syndrome really holds you back. Having a clear vision of what you want to do is critical. The buy, refurbish, refinance property business is a great way to create passive income. Once you get your business processes in place most things become copy and paste. The majority of people already have most of the skills they need to successfully run a property business. Within the property industry, people are generally happy to help others who work in the field. CoVid is causing financial hardship, which will continue, but there are always opportunities out there.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You just have to try and really work on those little Gremlins and that self-belief. ´

‘Having people that you trust is key.’

‘Everyone has transferable skills.’

‘The key is to make rational, calm decisions.’

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Tej Singh who is a UK property investor, podcaster and personal brand expert. He took his portfolio from zero to £1.3 million in under 9 months and has built a phenomenal podcast Tej Talks already with over 600,000 downloads. Tej explains how he did this and discusses some of the mistakes he made, including why moving at a slightly slower pace would have been a wiser approach.

Tej built a strong brand and network, mostly through social media, which gave him easy access to finance, investment opportunities, and the skilled people he needed. Anybody can do the same, Tej explains how in the podcast.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's all too easy to find yourself wearing golden handcuffs - making good money but doing something you don´t like. Work with people who have the same values as you. When starting a business, not rushing things enables you to learn valuable lessons that lead to you moving far faster, in the long run. Putting people first naturally improves your profit. Having a network of good people is massively beneficial. Social media is a highly effective way to build yourself a personal brand and a valuable network of people with the skills and trades you need. Building a strong brand presents you with opportunities and finance you would not otherwise have access to. On social media, be consistent and engage with other people´s content, which helps you to grow your brand. Podcasts are a great way to reach more people. If you run a podcast, answer the questions people ask and be yourself. When it comes to property or business being analytical and knowing your figures is essential.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What you should be thinking is, I can do it, but should I do it?’

‘If you put people first, your profits will naturally be much greater. ´

‘When going through life, always question things.’

‘Brave means doing things that other people are not willing to do.’

In this episode, Jeannette explains why it is important to celebrate the small things and the gifts along the way. She explains how to fit doing so into your life, even if you are extremely busy. Providing you with 7 simple steps to follow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes it is the small things that mean more than the big things. Don´t forget to enjoy the journey to success, pause to appreciate what you are doing. Little wins add up into incremental gains, so they should be celebrated. Stop thinking of failure as a bad thing. It isn´t, it is all part of the learning process. Spend five minutes consciously noticing things around you e.g., the birdsong. Doing so gives you a lift. Often, the things that are most important in life are nothing to do with work. Take time to think about those things. Don´t focus on what has not gone so well. Give yourself a break. Pause at some point in the day and think about 3 things you are grateful for.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can be so focused on the end game, that you miss the ride along the way.’

‘Every little step along the way is a win. ´

‘Stop beating yourself up.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Dan Pearce, who is the CEO and owner of TTG Media. They talk about how he started out as an actor then switched to working for newspapers and magazines, via English language teaching in Italy, before joining TTG, taking part in a management buyout and becoming the CEO.

Dan and Jeannette discuss how thinking out of the box, diversifying, and being more inclusive have helped the business to thrive. He explains how TTG is working to make travel smarter, better, and fairer. Dan covers how the CoVid crisis hastened their development online, starting a membership offering and having a loyal motivated team has enabled them to stay strong through the pandemic.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Being nimble enabled Dan to make a success of a business that previously was under performing. Diversifying further into digital and the events field has helped TTG to grow. Business owners need to answer the question of why they exist, to provide focus. Having a clear vision keeps you on course. Before you decide to do something, you pause and ask yourself if it fits in with your vision. As a leader you need to surround yourself with the right people, you can't know and do everything. Belief and resilience go hand in hand, they keep you going when things go wrong. Getting through hard times in your personal life helps you to build resilience that you can benefit from in your business life. Blind optimism is not good. But you do need to be stoic. To know that you will prevail, and things will pan out in the long-term. In business, it is important not to spread yourself too thinly. You need to focus on the things that bring you the biggest wins.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Be open-minded enough to educate yourself´

‘Your personal life can really inform your business life´

‘You´ve got to back the winners and learn as much as you can about those things’

Her clients include senior professionals executives in companies such as BBC TV, Saatchi & Saatchi, Barclays,..as well as a few famous faces (you may have seen her coaching Katie Price in her reality show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRkXb4PWjRw)

Sue is an ex-BBC journalist - she thought it was her dream job and although outwardly successful Sue reached her early 30s and woke up every day desperately unhappy with where she lived, her relationship and her career path.

Trying harder, working harder, and thinking harder didn’t work. Turning to food, to alcohol, and to binging on TV to numb her unhappiness only made things worse. Feeling rock bottom, Sue signed up for a 45-minute coaching call with a life coach – and It changed her life.

Sue was inspired to retrain as a coach, and now more than 12 years later, she has years of professional experience as an executive life and leadership coach under her belt and has built a successful business and a life she loves.

In April 2020 Sue published her debut book, Change Your Life in Five: Practical Steps to Making Meaningful Changes in Your Life. The book combines psychology, neuroscience research and practical coaching techniques and details a simple 5-step method – clarify, conquer, choose, celebrate, and commit – to guide readers on a journey to self-discovery.

Change Your Life in 5: Practical Steps to Making Meaningful Changes In Your Life

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette talks about two extremely powerful words – I am. She explains why they are so powerful and shares several ways you can use them to achieve what you want in life. The techniques she shares helps you to tap into the power of being clear about your goals, visualization, taking action, and gaining momentum.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Achieving what you want in life starts with having the right mindset. Be clear on what you want to do in life and why. Once you are clear about what you want to be, instead of saying “I want to be XYZ”, start saying “I am XYZ”. Using I am phrasing influences you on a subconscious level. Your mind automatically starts to make decisions as if you are already the person you want to become. Visualising what it is you are trying to achieve or become and taking action is essential. Initially, the differences in the way you act will be small. But as you take each step, momentum will build, and soon the positive changes will come fast.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Anything you want to achieve in life starts really with your mindset.’

‘Who wants to settle for average, or mediocre, or to feel that you´ve not fulfilled your dreams? ´

‘Visualise what it is that you´re trying to achieve and become. Then take action. Action equals results.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Nick Ruddock who turned his passion for gymnastics into a full-time career. He has been coaching for 17 years, has coached for Team GB and Olympians, and today is a gymnastics consultant who runs his own successful business.

Nick and Jeannette talk about how the approach athletes employ to excel can be used to take any business to the top. They discuss effective goal setting, mindset, managing failure, creating winning teams and bouncing back from adversity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Always lead with passion. If you get the chance to merge your passion with your work, do so. There are many commonalities between running a business and being a successful world-class athlete. Athletes and business owners need to set firm goals, measure their performance, then adjust their approach. You have to target your efforts. It's not enough to be busy. What you are doing has to move things forwards. Often, it is the small things that lead to the biggest gains. An athlete improving by just 1% can be enough for them to win. There are always opportunities, but you must prioritise wisely. Mindset is critical. Everyone is going to fail at some point. Failure is feedback, it is a normal part of the learning process. Over-confidence leads to complacency. Invest in educating yourself at all stages of your life and business journey. Being able to take sticky topics and simplify them enough so people can understand is a valuable skill. Stay true to your values. If you don´t you will lose passion and momentum. Being self-aware will help you to perform better whatever you want to do. Hold up a mirror to yourself. Be uncomfortable, then address your issues, and leverage those lessons. Be compassionate with yourself when you make mistakes. Address them but don´t beat yourself up about it. Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right park it or maybe, ask someone for a 2nd opinion.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There's a lot of takeaways from the world of sports that can be translated into the world of business or in life in general’

‘Always lead with passion´

‘There's a real difference between being busy and actually being productive and making your business move forwards’

In this episode, Jeannette reflects on the events of 2020 and how things worked out for her and Chris. She talks about which trends she expects to continue and about some of the new ones that she sees emerging. Jeannette shares where she and Chris are going to be focusing their business efforts and why. Including details of some big opportunities, anyone can potentially take advantage of.

Jeannette provides you with 6 key questions that will help you to reflect honestly on the past year. As well as a set you can use to work out what path you should be following for 2021.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It is important to pause periodically and think about how things have gone and where you are going. Identify what went well, what could have gone better, and what went wrong, and what you would do differently. Ask yourself what you have learned and achieved. Learn and use the stop, start, continue method. Determine what your options are. Then pick the ones that will take you forward and help you to achieve your goals. Make a list of what you need to do to get you there. 2020 has been a difficult year, it is important to reflect on and recognize how you felt. Think about the positives as well as the negatives, for example, the way the CoVid crisis made us appreciate each other more. Many of us have learned new skills to adapt to the CoVid situation. Businesses have been forced to innovate and pivot. The CoVid crisis led Jeannette to create a new mentoring business, take on new advisory clients, and start this podcast. 2021 is going to be all around resettling and regrouping. There is likely to be a recession and Brexit is sure to have an impact too. Home and flexible working are both set to continue. The businesses that have survived are leaner and meaner. When the time is right, they will be able to grow fast. There is a lot of pent-up demand for leisure, travel, better properties, and more leisure pursuits, all of which creates opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When we have busy lives, we rarely stop to take stock of where we are.’

‘We are so busy focusing on the next thing that we don´t actually give ourselves a bit of credit for what went well. ´

‘When everything is plodding along quite nicely it is hard to pivot.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Lisa Fitzell who is an international businesswoman who has worked in the travel industry for 33 years. Lisa is the managing director of Elegant Resorts. She shares what she has learned while working in several countries and rising through the ranks with some of the best brands in travel such as Lunn Poly, TUI, STA Travel, Stella, Austravel, Diethelm and Elegant Resorts.

Her and Jeannette discuss how reaching burnout and nearly dying from meningitis fundamentally changed the way Lisa approaches her life and career. Lisa grabs every opportunity. She explains how to do this without burning out, the role of mindset, mentors and never giving up on your goals. Lisa shares her thoughts on how to build a strong team, develop your future leaders and continually improving what you do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Love what you do but be careful to not let your job totally define you, so you get out of balance. Repeat clients and being recommended is the recipe for success for any business As a leader, you need to let go a bit and trust your team. You can´t do it all. Really look after your people. Investing in their wellness will pay for itself. Say yes when you are offered opportunities, you can use the skills you already have to work everything out and learn new ones. You do not have to have been to university to be able to succeed and grow. Treat every company you work for as if it is your own. Imposter syndrome is a big issue, you have to recognise it in yourself and work to eliminate it. Invest time in looking after yourself. If you don´t you will burn out and not be able to be there for your family and colleagues. Never feeling good enough can be incredibly damaging, so you need to watch out for this and be kind to yourself When things go wrong, e.g., COVID-19, look after your customers. Doing so builds loyalty and brings them back to you later. Having a good network of friends helps you in many ways. Create headspace for yourself. Take the time to switch off. Walking or yoga are good for this. Drop the guilt as a working mum and cut yourself some slack Find a morning routine that sets you up for the day. Don´t be afraid to move fast in business. Perfection does not exist, so there is no point in planning everything to the eighth degree.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Getting your repeat clients and being recommended, that's the recipe for any good business to grow’

‘You only live once, so don´t ever turn anything down´

‘Really look after your people, and they'll thrive as a result of it’

KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting goals keeps you on track, stops you from wasting time, helps you to manage stress, and to develop the right skills at the right times. Set longer-term goals, then goals for this year, and break them down into specific objectives throughout the year. Even in these uncertain times, you need to set goals. In fact, it is even more important that you do so. Make personal development and health goals. Be specific with your goals. Set measurable objectives. Make sure the goals you set stretch you but are achievable. Your goals must be relevant to you and what you want to achieve. Set time limits for achieving each goal. Be clear about your reason why. If you don´t know your vision and purpose you will lack motivation. Make sure that your goals fit in with your core values.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When you get into a car, if you don´t know where you are heading, how can you possibly get to where you need to be.’

‘Take your big purpose and break it down into very specific objectives for the year. ´

‘Having a clarity of purpose will keep you true to yourself.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Peter Greenwood the founder and owner of Greenwood Residential estate agents. Peter shares some of the experiences he had during his 37-year Royal Navy career and how he pivoted to set up his own successful estate agency business. Peter's shift from the military into the entrepreneurial world of estate agency demonstrates how to pivot, apply transferable skills and become a successful business owner.

Peter provides the inside track on the estate agency side of the property sector. He provides great insight into; His early life and starting a career in the Royal Navy (+0-12mins) setting up a business from scratch (+12-20mins) training/starting up, mention of Susie Crolla at the Guild of Letting and Management, Emma Greenwood, Liz Poole, Jay. current trends in the market (+19mins) need for access to funds/cash to progress in current market the impact Covid-19 has had on the property market (+28mins) the perspective from both the estate agency and investor side (+33-38mins) as well as his thoughts on projections for 2021. (+38-43mins) (please note this podcast was recorded on the 3rd October 2020, before the second or now the third lockdown where even being thought about never mind being made law.) However, Peter still firmly believes that the rental market will continue to strengthen throughout 2021 and the Sales market will have a strong recovery once we see the end of these lockdowns, which will only coincide with the vaccination programme that is currently in progress. From March 2021 onwards the Sales Market will pick up right from where it stopped in October 2020, so if you need to move, and are asking yourself when is the right time, well ask no more, because it's right now! So start getting your property, market ready, give it kerb appeal and declutter as best you can, make it better than when you first moved there and remember what attracted you to it in the first place. Then confirm how much of a deposit you will be able to put down and how much mortgage will you need for your move, so that before you even start looking, check your budget. Then the fun starts, identify what it is that you want to find in the next property, list the ‘nice to have, would really like to have, or must haves’ for the house and also for the area that you want to move to. Remember some key COVID lessons - try to find a new property with a quiet room or an extra room you can use as a home office, outdoor space either a private or communal garden or a nearby park, how good is the broad band speed. Do you need to be in the catchment area for a certain school? How long is your commute to work? How good is the public transport? Take advantage of the time you now have in this lockdown to do this work in advance, if you are able to, whilst still following the full COVID-19 lockdown and guidelines, stay at home, stay safe and protect the NHS.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Being able to pivot and apply transferable skills to a new business venture is possible for anyone wanting to make a change. Getting your branding and image right is a vital part of building a successful business. Continuous professional development is important. Fixing issues when things do not go well is a vital part of looking after your customers properly. Even in areas where prices are high, it is still possible to find properties to do up and split into rooms and make a profit. In most cases, it is the smaller, low-cost properties that generate the best yield. Often there is good money to be made with corner plot houses, provided you can extend. Changes in how property investors are taxed, Brexit, and the general election all slowed sales. People now want extra space for work and recreation and a good broadband connection. There is still a lot of pent-up demand, people desperately want better homes. Surveyors are under-valuing properties right now. Lenders want to be sure they will get their money back. The lending criteria are now far stricter. Unemployment is going to damp down the market, but not completely. The rental market should remain strong. There are property opportunities everywhere but different strategies work in different areas.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It's important to do continuous professional development’ (+15min mention of Susie Crolla at the Guild of Letting and Management.)

‘I'm seeing undervalues of 5-10%, on a properties´ (+39min)

‘The lending criteria is incredibly strict right now’ (+39min)

This is the 5th podcast in the series that Jeannette has put together to help everyone to stay on track despite the upheaval we are all experiencing. It is all about creating order from chaos. Jeannette walks her audience through an easy to implement 5 step process that anyone can use to ensure that they get everything done and do not end up feeling overwhelmed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of us end up feeling that we are trying to keep too many plates spinning. When you feel overwhelmed it is all too easy to end up chasing your tail. Keep a log to find out where your time is going. In the podcast, Jeannette shares how to do this effectively. Use the Stop – Start – Continue approach to make sure you are prioritising the right things. Tidying up your workspace can be quite cathartic. Compartmentalise your day. Aim to do the most important things when your energy levels are at the highest levels. Create the right environment, for example, turn off your phone and eliminate other distractions. Turn your new routine into a habit by sticking to it for 21 days, and really embed that habit after 30 days.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It can feel very chaotic and with that comes a sense of overwhelm, it can sometimes be quite stressful.’

‘Ruthlessly compartmentalise your day. ´

‘Match your highest energy with your most important tasks.’

View Details

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Jacky Simmonds who is at the top of her game in the world of HR having been Group HR Director at the TUI Group with 77,000 people, Chief People Officer at Easyjet, Veon and now Experian.

Jacky shares how she realised that despite leaving school with no A-levels she was just as good as the highly qualified people she was interviewing. Prompting her to further her education and take on executive roles. Jacky shares her experience of blending highly diverse teams, changing company culture and combining parenthood with an executive role. As well as how to attract talent and nurture the people who work for you, so that you get the best out of them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS When you spot talent consider developing a special role for that person. Keep an eye out for people who win awards, get in touch, and interview them. Don´t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, get involved in stretch projects. Get a mentor and take advantage of coaching. Make yourself visible to senior management and take on projects that clearly add value. Jacky is by nature an introvert. In the podcast, she explains how she has managed to work around that. Don´t be afraid to make sideways moves to stretch yourself and learn more. Challenge yourself in your personal life too, e.g. run a marathon or something that will push you outside of your comfort zone. Never become aloof from your staff, bear in mind the pressures and challenges of their lives. Think about how you want to bring value to the business and focus on that. Sometimes you just have to really dig deep to get through difficult times in your career. You don't have to be aggressive to get on but having inner steel helps. Always surround yourself with really great people

BEST MOMENTS

‘I realised early on that without that comfort and confidence, of having an education, I might hold myself back’

‘If you can get coaching and mentoring, I would take it´

‘A good education gives you choices’

‘Don't be afraid to voice your opinion’

In this episode, Jeannette explains, why improving yourself as a person is an important investment. Her very clever bank account analogy is sure to strike a chord with you, as well as help you to come up with a sustainable self-improvement plan that will work for you. Even if you only have 10 minutes or half an hour a day available to do so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many ways to improve yourself as a person. Learning a new skill, educating yourself about a new subject, improving your mindset or explore an interest more– all improve who you are. Becoming healthier in mind and body is a particularly important form of self-improvement. Virtually everyone has too many demands on their time, money, and resources. Nobody can give continuously. You are not a bottomless pit. It is essential that you take the time to refuel yourself. Learning broadens the mind. Enabling you to see things differently and uncover solutions for problems you have not been able to solve before. Being exposed to new things is inspiring and energising, which helps with keeping your body and mind strong. Putting your own oxygen mask on first ensures that you are there to save others. You do not need to spend hours every day to make great improvements. Ten minutes can be enough. Affirmations work. Verbalising what you want to achieve speaks to your subconscious mind, which guides how you act. Use the SAVERS method to start your self-improvement journey and keep you going along that path.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Investing time, energy and resources in yourself is the best investment you will ever make.’

‘It makes absolute sense for you to invest in your personal development, it helps you grow as a person overall. ´

‘By actually verbalising what your dreams are, what you're hoping to achieve, you're speaking to your subconscious mind.’

In this episode, Jeannette sits down with Miles Morgan, founder & CEO of Miles Morgan Travel, who is a true icon within the travel industry. Miles rose through the ranks of the travel industry to become MD of Travel House, Sales and Marketing Director of TUI and ultimately creating his own hugely successful business, Miles Morgan Travel. His business has won multiple awards and gained global attention when his marketing for his Titanic Memorial Cruise went viral, a funny and inspiring story that he tells in the podcast.

Miles shares his entrepreneurial journey, including his time as a market trader, where he learned sales methods that still work well today. Miles and Jeannette talk about why and how he walked away from a top executive board role to set up his own agency. They discuss how to motivate yourself when things go wrong, why personal branding matters, how to manage stress and successfully tackle many more of the issues that entrepreneurs face. They also review the impact CoVid is having on the travel industry and the way forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The way you present a product for sale can be just as important as what that product is. When you step outside of your comfort zone, you learn fast. When you climb the ladder, be careful not to end up too far removed from what you love doing. There will always be bumps in the road. Self-belief will help you to take those knocks and power through. As an entrepreneur, you´ve got to be prepared to put the hard work in. Doing what you love makes this far easier. You do not have to be hard-nosed to be successful in business. Being who you are is a far more effective approach. Miles views the people that work in his shop as being the firm´s “crown jewels”, he explains why in the podcast and how that affects the way he runs things. The constant drive of the people and their desire for the company to do better means the business grows naturally. Success breeds success. Be positive, it drives you forwards and helps you overcome all kinds of hurdles.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Dress it (a product that is not selling) in a different way and all of a sudden you can sell it.’

‘I always believed that the money would follow if I could get the job and prove I was worth it. ´

‘If you're in love with what you do, you'll always do a better job of it.’

In this episode, Jeannette shares several techniques you can use to become am an effective networker. She starts by explaining why it is an essential skill, especially in the current climate. Then takes you through 10 simple ways to become a better networker. As well as sharing several easy ways to break the ice, including ones that still work well even if you have not been in touch with someone for a while.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Often, the strong bonds and relationships you have are what makes the difference when it comes to how your career progresses. Networking sounds daunting – but the more you do the easier it is. In the current climate, networking is more important than ever before. Networking is not about taking a false approach i.e., only having conversations to see what you can get out of it. Periodically review who you have spoken to lately – this will highlight relationships that need a little work. Focus on those relationships that are critical to how your business operates. The fact that many of us are working at home means that it is now a lot easier to get in touch with people. Mix up the way you communicate and try out all forms of communication.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Your network is your net worth.’

‘I would always approach networking from the perspective of how can I help the other person? ´

‘Even if you're not confident posting on social media, that is a great way to observe.’

‘Vary the way you communicate.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Laura Muse who runs Squared Property with her husband James. She shares how she tapped into the power of social media to raise £4m to quickly grow their property portfolio. Including, tips anyone can use to do the same without becoming overwhelmed by it all.

They also cover more personal topics. Including, how Laura learned to improve her mindset, something that helped her to overcome depression and step outside of her comfort zone to achieve more. They also discuss how to work alongside a spouse without it ruining your relationship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is not all about money, but having it provides you with more options. Running a property business enables you to set your own schedule and make money in your sleep. It's so easy to become consumed by a corporate role and work so many hours that you don't have time to stop and think. Laura´s 'aha' moment was when her husband asked her why she was working so hard for someone else. When working with a partner, know where each person´s skills lie, decide who will do what and stick to those roles. Mindset and self-love are vital, it makes a huge difference to who you are and what you can achieve. On social media be 100% authentic, stick to your values and be honest about what you have to offer. Social media used right, can be a great way to raise private finance. Create social proof by sharing what happens to your projects from beginning to end. There is no need to be on every social platform or do anything fancy - just do the things that work for you. Social media is just as effective, if not more effective than attending networking events.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I went on this mindset journey and I feel I am a different person. I'm so glad I did it.’

‘Social proof is king in property.’

‘The biggest thing with social media is getting out of your own way.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks with Cat Jones, an entrepreneur powerhouse, spanning travel, start-ups, media and more!

Cat started off in the world of physics which is an unusual starting point for business but Cat then spent the next 10 years involved in the full ‘life cycle’ of a start-up. After this point she moved to the Founders Factory, set up by Brent Hoberman, CEO & founder of Lastminute.com, where Cat was managing director of the Media and Travel Division. Now she is the CEO of Byway, a start-up business specialising in sustainable and slow travel.

Jeannette and Cat talk about start-ups, travel, sustainability and how you have to believe in something a little crazy to create something truly transformative. An insightful and inspired episode, not to be missed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Cat has always had an interest in sustainability and responsibility of business and this has been a theme throughout her career. It was after creating a tour booking site whilst travelling that Cat discovered she didn’t want to do a graduate corporate role. She wanted to be involved in the more creative world of start-ups. This is how she joined a team of 8 at Unruly. Towards the end of last year, whilst at Founders Factory, Cat was looking deeper into sustainable travel and how we can change the way we approach travel to make it more ‘mindful’ and ‘connected’. Inadvertently she had created the concept of the business she has now founded and is running as CEO! Cat got some very raised eyebrows when she said she was starting a travel business in the midst of a pandemic. But she is confident in her knowledge that on the other side of this people will want to travel and they will want to travel the way she is creating through Byway! By creating this travel business in the current climate Byway isn’t having to ‘retrofit’ anything. The level of flexibility and the systems and processes have been built around having to deal with the pandemic. Byway is all about slow adventures that don’t fly. You go through amazing places and stop off and experience so much more. It’s a layered experience that gives you more time and connection with both places and people. Cat’s aim is to make this new way of travel mainstream. She wants Byway to pioneer this new sustainable and connected way of travelling. During the pandemic people have revaluated and repositioned themselves in all areas of their lives. People have almost been forced to ‘reconnect’ with what is around them. When making a big decision Cat spends time with her husband weighing out all of the risks and assessing what can be mitigated and what she is comfortable with. This is how she deals with any ‘naysayers’ or doubt, including her own. Cat and her partner spend time ‘designing their lives’. They even have a quarterly get away to talk and make conscious decisions about them and their family.

BEST MOMENTS

“I have a lot of energy that I like to put into stuff that I care about doing”

“What we’re offering is really authentic, a gorgeous and glorious way to travel”

“You’ve got to believe something that’s a bit crazy to do something that’s disruptive and different and transformative”

“Focus on the gem of an idea and then develop it out from there”

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to John Young who spent 31 years working for the BBC as a journalist and presenter. Today, he spends most of his time helping businesses to move quickly when they see opportunities and how to communicate clearly via any medium.

They discuss how CoVid has led to us spending far more time communicating online. In the podcast, John shares how anyone can become an effective presenter in this environment and others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The newsroom environment is fast paced so John had to learn to be agile and ready for anything. Skills he now shares. You have to be able to communicate clearly under pressure. Anyone can acquire the necessary skills to become a good presenter. A good presenter understands the story they are presenting and has everything properly prepared in advance. When running online workshops do your best to replicate what happens in a traditional workshop. If you are nervous about speaking publicly, being yourself is the best way to overcome this issue. There´s a time and place for in-depth conversations, but sometimes keeping it brief is a better approach. Use your audience´s language. Find out what people´s business needs are and address them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Businesses have to be agile. You have to be quick…you have to communicate clearly under pressure.’

‘My take on presenting is you're just doing what anyone can do, which is just speak and communicate. ´

‘Being much more authentic and being your whole self means that you can engage on a much more real level with people.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Toni Gargan, a coach that focuses on training people to become competent speakers and to improve their presentation skills, as well as being a property investor. They discuss the skills needed to become an effective public speaker, salesperson, and presenter. Jeannette explains how she overcame her nerves and imposter syndrome to do this.

They discuss how to acquire and practice those skills. As well as discussing how to adapt what you say and how you present it to better fit the audience you are speaking to.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Preparation is key for any kind of public speaking. Knowing your subject gives you confidence and enables you to adapt should you have to present without your notes or need to answer awkward questions. Many people suffer from imposter syndrome, you have to recognise this and come up with a strategy to deal with it. Most people are using presentation and public speaking throughout their workweek, often without even realising that they are doing so. Be yourself, this makes it far easier for your audience to believe in you and connect with you. Use empathy. It will help you to prepare a speech or presentation that is truly relevant to your audience. You need to adapt your presentations to suit who you are speaking to. To ensure you demonstrate how you can help them as an individual or an organization. Selling is serving, you should be selling things in a way that ensures that the other person can fully understand how they will benefit when they buy from you. Most people need to work on their presentation skills. The more you do, the better you will get.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Preparation is absolutely key.’

‘you can make anything interesting in the way that you prepare it. ´

‘It´s good not just to always be thinking about it from your own perspective.’

‘You're always presenting, you're always selling, even with friends and other people you know.’

In this episode, Jeannette sits down to talk to Louise Bates who is the managing director of TUI BLUE. A growing chain of 100 hotels that offer modern, high-quality surroundings that have been tailored to meet the needs of different types of guests.

They discuss finding the confidence to step outside of your comfort zone to take on big and complex challenges and how to succeed when you do. How surrounding yourself with the right people and treating them well can enable you to meet any challenge. Louise explains how she and her team are working through what is a particularly tough time for the travel industry right now.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Provided you have great people around you can achieve a lot even while you are still learning an industry. Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone is a fast way to develop. Don´t be daunted by running a big business – it is all the same tasks, just on a far larger scale. Doing the right thing for your customer and colleagues naturally leads to success. Find a leadership style that works for you. It´s fine to be yourself. You don’t need a persona. Never be afraid to make a bold move. There is not a manual out there for everything. Sometimes you have to jump in and make it up as you go along. By asking the right questions and monitoring the situation you can adapt to any task. When you focus on continually improving, making a mistake does not feel so bad. You can lead a company without having to be big, loud, and aggressive. All kinds of personality types can make great leaders. When talking to someone ask yourself how you can help them. When you do you build a strong network. Seek out roles that fit your values and what is important in your life. When someone tells you are good enough to do something – believe them!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Running a big firm is not rocket science. It´s all the same tasks, just on a bigger scale.’

‘Do right, by the customer, do right by people, and the numbers will come.´

‘It´s about finding the leadership style that works for you, it´s fine to be yourself.’

‘If you focus on continually improving then it doesn´t feel as bad when you make a mistake.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about why having structure in your life is important. How it can help you to get through times like the ones we are living through now.

Jeannette explains how she has followed her mentor´s advice to manage her time and become far more successful and productive as a result. She shares the method she used. An approach that is flexible enough for anyone to implement and use to get rid of that stressful feeling that there are not enough hours in the day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You cannot extend time, but you can manage how you use that time. Everyone has a 24hr day. Yet some people get more done than others. Look, in detail at what you are doing with your time and ask yourself - Should you be doing it? Does it add value to your life? Be sure to take action, after your review. Use the start, stop, continue model, which Jeannette explains in the podcast, to rework how you spend your day. Don´t be afraid to delegate. Be ruthless when clearing out your diary. Make sure that you are spending time on your priorities rather than other people´s priorities. Compartmentalising your diary keeps you organised, while still providing some flexibility. Don´t forget to include time to strategise and work on your long-term goals. Create the right environment and routines to manage your time. Little things like turning off notifications while working make a huge difference. Starting your day in the right way will help throughout the rest of the day. Stick with it. Usually, it takes 21 to 30 days to turn a positive change into a long-term habit. Stop trying to manage your time - instead, manage your life.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can't really manage time because it is what it is. But you can manage your life.’

‘Take a good hard look at how you're spending your time. Who you're spending time with and what you're spending time on.’

‘Stick with it. It takes 21 days on average to stop an old habit and create a new habit.’

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Toni Gargan from Owen Oliver Property. Toni is a property investor, mentor, public speaker, entrepreneur and trainer teaching others how to invest in property.

They discuss how Toni and her husband juggled having two little boys to look after and two full-time jobs with starting a property business. As well as how they borrowed from other people to get started rather than following the traditional financing route. Toni is passionate about helping others through being an educator and public speaker. She explains how she overcame fear and risk to transition from her day job in HR to fulfilling her dream to help others by teaching them to become property developers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is possible to build a huge property empire even if you do not have much money of your own, at the beginning. Being curious and becoming a lifelong learner is highly beneficial regardless of your chosen career. Fear is a good thing because it makes you stop and think, but you must not let it overwhelm and paralyze you. You need to fully understand the risk, then do what you can to mitigate them. When you have bad experiences, learn from them, and use them to spur you on. Sacrifices are an investment. It´s short term pain for long-term gain. Be true to yourself, do things your way, don´t worry about being judged by others. You need to be sure that you are striving to achieve the right goals. It's all too easy to put a lot of time and energy into something that does not bring you happiness. Approach things in a way that is congruent with your values. You gain more by helping others. Seek out and take advantage of win-win situations.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I´m a massive believer in helping other people to understand and realize their potential.’

´Many people have this massive desire to achieve things, but fear holds them back.’

‘I see sacrifices as an investment.’

´People are going to judge you anyway, so let them judge you for being who you are.’

039 BBB - Entrepreneurs Can Party Jeannette being interviewed by Scott Stockdale

DESCRIPTION

In this episode, Jeannette is being interviewed by Scott Stockdale from Entrepreneurs Can Party. They discuss her mentoring work. But the majority of this podcast focuses on the property development side of Jeannette´s business. Including, why she started it. As well as the path she followed to gain the knowledge she needed to make it a success.

She explains what their five-year plan is and how that will be achieved. They talk about the buy to let, how to use refurbish-refinance models that Jeannette and her partner are using and how all of this is done in a hand´s off way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Property development is a good way to build long-term wealth. Certain kinds of property development can also create short-term cashflow. Educating yourself properly before starting a property business is wise. Using a mentor enables you to bounce ideas off of them and avoid taking wrong turns and making expensive mistakes. Being prepared to hire the right people to cover any skill gaps enables you to grow much faster. You need to put a lot of effort into establishing your team. Make sure you build in sufficient redundancy into your team, so things don´t collapse if someone goes sick. Re-investing what you earn into buying more properties enables you to build a stock of high-value assets surprisingly quickly. You need to be clear at the outset about what you are planning to do with each property. You do not necessarily have to deal with builders or tenants. Property can be a hand´s off business. Once you have got your processes in place things move faster. You should only use a mentor if you are ready to act. As a mentor, you need to be a good listener. If you are not you cannot understand your client and provide them with sound guidance. Understanding what you want from life, is critical, it is the first step to success.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I wanted to create multiple streams of income, long term wealth, short term cash flow, and to be my own boss. Property development has been a part of that.’

‘The best investment you can make is in yourself.´

‘If you know where you´re heading, then it is much easier to get there. ’

‘Believe in yourself and live your life so that you won’t have any regrets at the end of your life. ’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Maggie Watts, who is fighting to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and get more funding for research and treatment. She has done so with great success. To the point where people like the actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, who played Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street, Joey Barton the footballer, the DJ Stephanie Hirst and Lorraine Kelly joined her campaign. Today, thanks to her efforts and those of other campaigners this cancer attracts more funding, but there is still a lot to be done.

Maggie explains how her husband and family embraced the time he had left and shares some of the many lessons she learned then. Lessons and skills that stayed with her and have continued to drive her forwards. Maggie and Jeannette also talk about how to tackle difficult conversations, how having a clear purpose, a positive mindset and never giving up means you can achieve incredible things in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There is still not enough awareness of pancreatic cancer and research into the disease is woefully underfunded. The survival rates for pancreatic cancer are low, partly because of delays in diagnosis. GPs frequently miss pancreatic cancer, so you need to be aware of the symptoms (** see our list of symptoms below) You may have to actively ask your doctor to consider pancreatic cancer as a potential cause of your symptoms. There is a tendency for doctors not to look at your symptoms in totality to treat each one individually – don´t be afraid to remind your doctors of your full list of symptoms. Being able to challenge in a respectful yet effective way is an important skill. The medical team are the experts, but it should never stop you from doing your own research and discussing what you have found with them. Don´t be afraid to challenge if something doesn´t feel right. There are mechanisms available that you can use to force change using the political system. Twitter is a good way to gain momentum for a campaign and find influencers and celebrities who will get on board. Ideally, you need someone who has a high profile to get involved to keep the momentum going. Tenacity, a positive mindset, and pulling together as a team really does enable you to beat the odds and get the exposure your cause needs. You only fail when you stop. Keep yourself in good shape, if you don´t you will burn out and have to stop your campaign. You need to embrace life, none of us know how long we´ve got on this earth. Hope is contagious, it drives people on to find solutions and ways of coping even in seemingly impossible situations. Pancreatic cancer used to only get 1% of funding. Now, thanks to Maggie and her fellow campaigners it gets 3%.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Change doesn´t happen unless people have a voice’

‘Whatever life throws at me now, mostly it’s sortable or doable´

´If you've got something, whatever it is that you want to achieve, figure it out as you go along and don't let people cast any doubt in your mind´

ABOUT THE GUEST

Maggie Watts is a Pancreatic Cancer Advocate, campaigning for more awareness and more funding of Pancreatic Cancer.

For the last 10 years Maggie has campaigned for more awareness and more funding for pancreatic cancer as a result of losing her husband, Kevin to the disease and discovering that survival rates hadn't improved at all in the 40 years prior to his death. Kev's mum had also died of pancreatic cancer exactly 40 years earlier (aged 27) and nothing had changed whatsoever in all of that time.

This was a shock to Maggie and also unbelievable and unacceptable that nothing had changed in all of that time - after Kev died it became a mission of hers (and also a coping mechanism for grief) to see what she could do to raise awareness. Maggie started a Government e-petition and took to social media to try and find 100,000 people to sign - to try and become eligible for a Parliamentary Debate.

With the support of many around her, including some high profile media and sports personalities such as the actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, the BBC radio presenter Stephanie Hirst and footballer Joey Barton, Maggie was successful in achieving her goal and went to Parliament for the debate which was one of the most highly attended backbench debates ever.

Maggie continues to tirelessly champion the cause for Pancreatic Cancer, through her Hope is Contagious Campaign, to make this world a better place and provide hope for Pancreatic Cancer sufferers and their families.

** Spotting the Early Signs of Pancreatic Cancer and Helping to Raise Awareness

9,000 people die every year with pancreatic cancer, in the UK. Early diagnosis is essential and greatly improves survival time.

The main symptoms of pancreatic cancer are:

Indigestion that does not respond to normal medications Pale and/or smelly/oily stools that do not flush easily Upper abdominal pain Mid back pain – in both sexes, at about the point a lady´s bra strap would sit Fatigue Unexplained weight loss Pain on eating Diabetes that is not associated with weight gain Jaundice

You may have just one, or several of these symptoms.

Early diagnosis greatly improves survival times. So, go to the doctors early and don´t be afraid to politely challenge doctors and ask for a scan if symptoms persist.

If your symptoms persist actively, ask your doctor about whether it could be pancreatic cancer. This cancer is often missed or misdiagnosed, so asking your doctor the question helps to prompt them to explore things more.

Please keep an eye out for the signs in yourself and your loved ones.

Also, please support Pancreatic Cancer month, which is November and World Pancreatic Cancer day, which is the 19th November.

Sharing the Hope Is Contagious website and any pancreatic cancer tweets and posts on social media takes moments, yet it helps a lot.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to find the right mentor. Over the years, Jeannette has had several mentors. People that have guided her and provided tailored advice, support, and motivation that has made a phenomenal difference to her. Today, she is herself a mentor. So, this is a subject she knows a lot about and one that is close to her heart.

Jeannette explains how to know when you are ready to seek out a mentor and shares the 6 main ways mentors help. She then goes on to take you through a 10-step process you can use to make sure you can find the right mentor for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to be ready and able to really take action before you get a mentor. Mentors provide you with a safe person to discuss things with. Talking to someone else helps you to get into the right mindset. Mentors are great motivators, they provide accountability, which drives you on. Think about and establish in your mind what you want to achieve before starting your search. The chemistry between you and your mentor has to be good, so understand what kind of personality you are looking for. Use social media and other sources to check potential mentors out. Ask them if you can talk to clients they have worked with, in the past. If they say no, be cautious. Trust your gut when making your final decision.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It could be informal or formal. Mentors come in all shapes and sizes. ’

´Accountability is one of the main reasons why having a mentor is really great for you.’

‘Do an early testing call to see if you´ve got the right chemistry with any potential mentor. ’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Pete Lonton, who is a former engineer, project manager and property investor. Today, his focus is on helping others to find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves, in particular through his podcast Fire in the Belly

Jeannette and Pete discuss how he overcame his ADHD, depression, and dyslexia to become an award winner in his industry while building up a huge property empire. Before, setting up Fire in the Belly as a way of inspiring others to succeed too. They discuss how to avoid getting trapped in a negative work cycle, as well as how to transition to working on something you feel passionate about.

KEY TAKEAWAYS You need balance in your work life. If you don´t have it, you will make yourself ill, especially mentally. People who explore and go with their gut instincts tend to be passionate about what they do. Everyone has fire in their belly, something that they passionately believe in, something that motivates them. Often, when you have a weakness in one area, you excel in another because you have developed skills to compensate for your weakness. Every so often, everyone needs to pause, stand back, and make sure they are not on a hamster wheel that is taking them nowhere. Depression is a symptom, not a cause, you have to recognise how you became depressed and make the relevant changes. When you step off the hamster wheel, you end up with a fertile void that provides you with the chance to make step changes in life. Talking to others about their journeys is a great way to learn and inspire yourself to success. Everyone needs a North Star, a golden thread. A goal to focus on that pulls them forward. We all let silly things hold us back, especially things that happened in the distant past, for example, failing our exams. All of the answers are inside you, but the voice that guides us has become a faint whisper, you have to learn to block out distractions and listen to it. The changes you make do not have to be big to make a huge difference. Pursue those ideas that you can´t stop thinking about, they are usually viable ideas.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We’re all souls in a meat suit’.

‘I believe everyone´s born with that fire in the belly.

‘We're all capable of so much, but yet we're leaving the handbrake on, you've got all these beliefs that hold you back, that restrict you.

‘Define your vision to find your passion.

‘Live life with no regrets’.

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to reach the point where you love the work that you do. To the point where it does not feel like work at all. She shares how she is doing exactly that and how you can do the same while taking care of your family and helping others to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It really is possible to love the work that you do. Most people can find a way to merge their passion with their profession. Life is short, so you don´t want to be doing things that do not bring you joy. It is beneficial for everyone to review what they have done in life then work out what they want to achieve in the future. Everyone will have good and bad days that is normal, but it is possible for more of them to be good days. Sometimes you will have to take a leap of faith to achieve your dream and work at something that you genuinely love. Seek out the company of people who uplift and inspire you. People who will actively help you to achieve your dream. Use your time wisely but be generous when you can and give to others. Learn not to procrastinate, you don´t want to waste a moment and be always working towards your dream.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you can merge your passion with your profession, that´s absolute utopia. ’

´Spend time with people that … are going to lift you up and help you to be the best person you want to be.’

‘Make sure you are focusing on the things that are important to you. ’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Carolin-Marie Roth who has had an incredible career including TV presenting, teaching yoga, property, charity work and more.

They talk about childhood, relationships, business ventures and what it means to be a woman in the business world. Listen in today for a unique insight into Carolin’s life journey so far, it’s a very engaging episode sprinkled with humour throughout!

KEY TAKEAWAYS Carolin had a difficult childhood which made her resourceful from an early age. She found it created her to have dominant ‘survival’ skills which has been both a blessing and a curse as an adult. At 15 she moved from Germany to America to live with her uncle and her school career really turned around and built her confidence tremendously. Carolin has found the lack of sisterhood through her career disappointing. But she has raised three incredibly strong, feminist daughters and has really emphasised to them that supporting each other is essential. Carolin admits herself that she has struggled with confidence but she has always had the ‘boldness’ to create opportunities for herself. It’s her tenacity that enabled her to get her first break in the television world. Whilst Carolin enjoyed working as a presenter she never felt like it was her ‘destiny’. Carolin didn’t think she would be able to have children so when she found out she was pregnant it felt like no big loss to her to give up her presenting career. She feels incredibly blessed for all of her children. After the birth of her third child Carolin moved to London in the UK and her and her partner set up their own TV Production company. After selling the company Carolin became a Yoga Teacher, a life-long passion of hers. She has been practicing Yoga for over 40 years! Carolin and her husband set up a charity called My Life Films which has won several awards. The basis of the charity is that they produce films for people living with dementia. These films are for free and can change the life of the family and the person living with dementia. Everything Carolin does involves creativity, passion and love. She thinks this is partly because of how she views the world. She finds structure difficult but when it comes to ‘thinking outside the box’ she truly blossoms.

BEST MOMENTS

“From the outside, everything was sparkling and beautiful but inside it was a disaster”

“What did Karl Lagerfeld tell you about sex then Carolin?!”

“I love be brave, bold and brilliant…I love that this is the title of the podcast”

“It’s rare that I have to eat my words”

“Often as women we don’t celebrate our successes…you probably don’t see yourself in the same way other people see you”

“We changed the life of lots of people and this is a lovely thought”

In this episode, Jeannette talks about the differences between working in corporate and entrepreneurial environments. Jeannette has 25 years in the corporate world where she was MD of the Emerging Markets for TUI and CEO of the Travel Division for Saga. Today Jeannette has a portfolio of her own businesses including property investing, board advisory, mentoring as well as sitting on the Board of the Founders Factory. Providing her with the experience to be able to successfully combine the best of the corporate and entrepreneurial way of conducting business.

Jeannette also speaks about her recent work with The Founder´s Factory. An organization that brings together people from the corporate and SME worlds. To network, share knowledge, support each other, and develop new hybrid ways of doing business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS There are pros and cons of working in both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds. Typically, when you work in the corporate world you impact a bigger pool of people and customers. In large corporations, the opportunities you have tend to be more diverse. Working corporately exposes you to more scrutiny, in the form of regulatory bodies, shareholders, and layers of management. Bureaucracy and a stiff hierarchy can stifle creativity and limit agility, something the corporate world suffers from. SMEs have a flatter organizational structure, which encourages innovation and creativity. Many SMEs suffer from a lack of robust processes and often financial discipline is not as stringent as it is in the corporate world. Both types of businesses can learn from each other and improve the way that they each work.

BEST MOMENTS

‘(Larger corporations) often have quite diverse business models within them. ’

‘Whether it's big business corporations or entrepreneurial SMEs, neither is necessarily better or worse, they're just different. ’

´I think a more interesting opportunity really is to bring the best of both together into whichever world you are in.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Russell Amerasekera about the winding journey that led to him becoming an impact, presentation, career and life coach, personal style advisor and interior space designer.. Russell and Jeannette talk about Russell’s 17 years in corporate through to his time co-presenting Wish You Were Here with Judith Charmers and then BBC Holiday programme, followed by the set up and sale of his own company.

Russell speaks very candidly about his choice to present himself to the world as a woman, and the reactions he gets from people. He explains how the role of understanding yourself and being true to your values plays in becoming successful and being able to enjoy life. As well as how he put this advice into action in his own life and what happened when he did.

KEY TAKEAWAYS If you’re not happy then really dig deep and ask yourself who you really want to be Human beings are naturally uncomfortable with difference and reactions can range from appreciation to fear. Standing out from the crowd comes with ramifications, but it is also important to be yourself. Our biggest fear is fear of rejection therefore as adults we adapt and compromise but when you lose sight of yourself and your authenticity that’s when life can get very challenging. Pushing yourself into a mold stifles creativity and restricts your ability to explore what you are capable of. Corporate world can often make the simple, complex and creates corporate bullshit Compromise but don’t compromise your true self, integrity and values You can’t be good for other people unless you are good for yourself Being honest about who you are builds trust. Take the time to ask yourself what you value, what feeds your soul, what makes you happy Three things that shape Russell’s life – love, potential, what he can do for others Helping others is also nurturing for you. Learning to use your intuition as well as your logic brings many benefits. Coaching is about listening, understanding people, and triggering them to act, not telling them what to do. Women in business often struggle with authenticity at the same time as having impact Personal branding is about going back to your essence not putting up a front. Perception is important, you need to understand how you are perceived. Non-verbal signals are still the way we predominantly communicate as human beings. You should dress the way you feel and how you want to be perceived. It’s the myriad little things we do every day that can change the way the world works. Don´t spend too much time worrying about what others think of you, know what you want and live your truth.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When we see something that we don't relate to, we often have a reaction to it that can range from appreciation to fear.’

´Yes, compromise, but don't compromise your integrity and your values. .’

´People go, Oh, I must portray that kind of image. Fundamentally, it doesn't work. Personal branding actually is going back to your essence.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how to step up your networking game. Something that is certainly possible despite lockdown. As you will see, now is actually the ideal time to step up your networking efforts. Jeanette provides you with a simple, step-by-step, fairly fast, and easy way to do exactly that.

Video conferencing can be exhausting if you do it too much. Jeannette explains how to balance things out to avoid suffering from Zoom gloom.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Review who you have been in touch with over the past few months and who you haven´t, to create a hit list. Make another list of people you really need to be communicating with. Jeannette explains how to ensure you do not miss anyone important. With more people working from home at the moment, it is actually easier to get hold of people. Get out of the habit of only contacting people when you want something. Get in touch and offer to do something for them, instead. Now is a good time to review your social media connections and send invites to anyone you are not yet connected to. If you are struggling to find an excuse to get in touch with someone, use some of the suggestions Jeanette shares in her podcast to create a legitimate reason to do so. We all like human contact and crave it. The CoVid crisis has created a unique opportunity for you to network more, so why not seize it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Ask yourself who you should really be communicating with on a more regular basis.’

‘A lot of people are still working from home, right now, so you've kind of got a captive audience, it is much easier to catch people.’

‘Make sure that you are varying up your communication channels. ’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks with Jo Rzymowska, who is Celebrity Cruise´s Vice President and Managing Director, Europe Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). They talk about her 35-year travel industry career, how she got started and the many lessons she learned on the way. How she progressed from being a holiday rep to playing a key role in launching a skiing brand, senior roles at Walt Disney and Universal Studios to ultimately becoming the boss of Celebrity Cruises.

Jo and Jeannette also discuss the progression of gender and other forms of equality within the workplace. Including, why making progress on this issue took so long. They talk about how Jo found the strength to come out as a gay woman and the approach she would take to coming out in today´s workplace. They wrap things up by discussing how the Covid crisis has impacted the cruise industry and how it will emerge from the crisis by taking a bold proactive approach.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Putting the guests (your customers) at the core of everything works. Really caring and providing outstanding customer service is vital in any industry. You do not need 100% of the skills to be able to apply for a role and succeed in it. As women often we focus on our ‘gaps’ rather than on what we can bring to a role. Mentors help you to see your potential and give you the confidence to move up. True workplace equality comes from the top. You have to measure how well you are doing equality and diversity wise. If you don´t, nothing will change. People need to be able to be true to themselves, they cannot constantly be looking over their shoulder in the workplace. Everyone needs to feel safe and confident at work. When you are grappling with personal and identity issues, find someone you can trust and talk things through with them in confidence. Team members need to respect each other but should also challenge each other. Communicate frequently with your staff, even if the message is “we don´t know”. Look after yourself and those you love physically, mentally, and emotionally. Don´t perpetuate inequality by ignoring it. Instead, actively do something to make a positive difference. Fail to prepare - prepare to fail.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you don´t measure it, it doesn´t happen.’

‘It's all very well saying I'm not racist, but what are you doing to make a difference?´

´Take people for who they are not what they are, don't care about their business title.’

In this episode, Jeannette takes an in-depth look at imposter syndrome, something most people suffer from at some point in their life. She explains what it is and how to identify if you are prone to it. As well as explaining what may be behind your feeling that you are not good enough or are a fraud, despite your achievements.

Jeannette talks about her own experience of the syndrome. She shares several tips and tricks she has used to beat it and ensure that it has not held her back. Simple things you can do too to overcome your own imposter syndrome.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Imposter syndrome is a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evidence of success. Deep down you feel like a fraud. About 70% of people experience imposter syndrome. This is regardless of their background, sex or level of education and experience. Why people feel this way varies greatly, personality traits, upbringing and childhood experiences can all play a role in imposter syndrome. If you let it, this syndrome can overwhelm you and hold you back. The first step to dealing with it is to recognize what is happening, so you can recalibrate and reframe things. Don´t be afraid to talk to friends or mentors about how you are feeling, they are highly likely to have been where you are now. Focus on your goal, if it is important enough it will give you the confidence to push through and do things despite imposter syndrome. A healthy body equals a healthy mind, exercise releases positive endorphins into the body. If you are suffering from self-doubt the last thing you need is to be around cynical or negative people. Reframe failure in your mind as learning. Taking steps towards your goal, every day, even baby steps, builds confidence. You can retrain your subconscious and overcome imposter syndrome.

BEST MOMENTS

‘About 70% of people suffer from what is commonly known as imposter syndrome. ’

´Make sure you're spending time with people that are positive, they're going to encourage you, they're going to help you achieve’

‘It´s fine to have an imposter syndrome moment. But let´s make sure we´ve not got an imposter syndrome life. ’

In this episode, Jeannette interviews Barb Brents. She is a professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who has been studying the sex industry for more than 20 years. They discuss her career path, her research, her new book, and talk about the similarities between the sex industry and mainstream businesses and what entrepreneurs in any field can learn from the industry.

Barb talks about what those selling sex have taught her about life, marketing and how to succeed despite being stigmatised by much of society.

KEY TAKEAWAYS People are often blinded by their misconceptions Not everyone immediately knows what path they want to take, and it is fine for your vision to evolve over time as it did for her The role of mentors and role models is so important and can be life-changing There are commercial and societal drivers behind how the sex industry works. Sex workers are the original gig workers, most develop a wide range of skills and often work several jobs. Many entrepreneurs who work in the erotic industry become extraordinarily successful, but it isn’t rosy for everyone. The most marginalised groups tend to suffer the most from lack of social support, poverty, exploitation and violence. Like many industries, the sex industry is stratified with those who already have resources doing the best. Marketing sex draws on all of the same skills that would be applied to any other product or service Don´t be afraid to do something different and explore things most other people are ignoring. The sex industry is a business like any other. One that surprisingly has similarities with the tourist industry. All businesses can learn a lot from the sex industry Sex workers suffer discrimination simply because they are selling something that others think is not appropriate, yet there is a need for those services. Digitalization is drastically changing the sex industry. People spend quite a bit of time reading ads when buying sex online, especially in the UK. Demand for sexual services is diverse, it is not just heterosexual men who buy sex. Marginalising people for leading different lives, means that society misses out on their potential. Being mentored and mentoring others brings huge benefits. Often it takes someone else to tell you that you are capable of progressing in your career for you to take the next step.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Sex in today´s world is business.’

‘The sex industry is a lot like many other service businesses. ´

´I recognised at that point that other people needed mentors, other people needed role models, and that I shouldn't be shy about helping.’

In this episode, Podcast host Pete Lonton invites Jeannette onto his show Fire in The Belly to discuss in depth what lights Jeannette's ambition and her personal journey through life (and business!). Be sure to listen through this slightly longer episode to get a deep insight into Jeannette's continued learning throughout her professional career and how that has impacted (good or bad) every other aspect of her lifes journey.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Jeannette wants to help all women excel in business. She has vast business experience including being the CEO in a large travel company. She has experienced (almost) everything in the corporate playbook and is fully aware many things need to be changed within the system. Also, there are things that we also need to learn so we can advance in our journey confidently. She adds that there are more women in the property world since it’s more flexible (because of parenthood, homemaking, etc.) compared to the corporate world. In the travel industry, there tends to be more female (around 65%) because of their traditional preference that cabin crews, travel agents, etc. be women. But when we take a look at their middle and senior management, the number of women in position is still noticeably low. Men still dominate the management positions. A business should have a strategic agenda to ensure business growth and also maintain a healthy organisational structure. If one intentionally aims for a diverse board of management and/or thoroughly built a pipeline, policies, and plans, then there’s nowhere to go but up. An indestructible mindset is the real deal. Work on yourself inside out so you can get the results you’re aiming for. According to Jeannette, our values and beliefs are entrenched to our behaviours and attitude around everything, including wealth. So, if you already believe that you’re meant for it, then you are. Jeannette is a mentor as well as a mentee. It has made a massive difference in her life to have someone guide her in decision making, so she wants to do the same for others. She shares that there’s so much fulfilment in seeing someone flourish and see their optimnum potential.

BEST MOMENTS “We bring different things to the party and there’s absolutely no reason whether you're female, gay, straight, black, white, that you shouldn't be able to be in a very senior role in any organisation.” “I think the mindset is at the heart of absolutely everything. It's everything in life, not just in business, career but also in relationships.” “If you're overly concerned about what everyone else is thinking about you and your ego, it can blow you off track. What really matters is what's inside and what people that are close to you, your loved ones, think.”

In this episode, Jeannette plays host to Darren O´Sullivan, the best-selling author who is known for his enthralling psychological thrillers. They discuss how Darren changed genres and focus, so he could write for a thirsty pool of readers.

He also talks about the mindset he developed to deal with repeated rejections and keep pushing through. Darren and Jeannette discuss how the principles entrepreneurs use to grow their businesses are similar to the ones writers use to be successful in their field.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Get out of your own head, don’t complicate matters To succeed in any field, including writing, you have to adapt and pivot to find and serve a market. Darren had to delete 2 years of work, 300,000 words with 80,000 published for his first novel – you have to have the ability to let go of your ego and focus on what you want to achieve. Let’s just fix this, let’s make it work! Ask yourself what it’s really about, get clear, focus on that and it becomes achievable. When you face a big task, just get started, if you don´t you will continue to be overwhelmed and be unable to progress. You do not need everyone to think that what you have to offer is great - just one believer or buyer is enough to get your venture moving and gathering momentum. Keep reviewing your dreams, your goals, and asking what the next step is No is just one step closer to yes. Whether you are looking for inspiration for your next book, product, or service, look first at what you know, the things you are familiar with. There’s an energy of being around people that provides inspiration. The most important thing for me as a writer is never forgetting that without a reader I don’t have the ability to write the next book You need to move with the times to reach your customers, for example, Darren´s books are available in Audible format. Recognise where the gaps in your knowledge are and hire someone to fill them, don´t waste time and energy trying to do everything yourself. Being an acro you can become someone else, but as a writer it’s all about the real you Take rejection on the chin and remember why you are doing things in the first place See failure as learning Know your worth and don´t be afraid to ask for the appropriate remuneration. Don’t let the naysayers stop you – protect your precious dream, then work your arse off! Be strict, get it done, find the time to fulfil your dream, sneak those little moments.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Remember you're looking for one moment, one customer, one client, just one thing that can keep you moving forward.’

‘Quite often in a week I put on the brakes and say, hang on a minute what are you trying to do here. What's the next step? ´

´Recognise where your strengths are and where maybe you are not so strong and hire to fill those gaps.’

In this episode, Jeannette talks about how important it is to learn when to say no. Using a simple analogy, she demonstrates what happens to your life when you don’t know how to say no, often enough. As well as explaining how to break the destructive habit of saying yes too much.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and are experiencing too much external pressure to do too many things for others, this podcast is for you. Use Jeannettes’ five steps to finally free yourself of following other people´s agenda and do so in a way that does not isolate others. Listen to your gut - if it feels wrong it probably is 2. Check whether this is serving your purpose helping you achieve your goals 3. Have the conversation even if it feels awkward 4. Be ruthless with your diary and de-clutter 5. Give yourself a pat on the back for being brave

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is human nature to want to be liked and to help others, so saying no is not easy. Saying yes, when you should be saying no, can lead to feelings of resentment. Not saying no when necessary will end up with you over-committing and not getting the things you need to do, done. 5 great reasons for being able to say no - puts you in control, stops you being overwhelmed or resentful, enables you to get things done and builds your confidence You can say no to people without offending them Here are 5 actions you can take to help you identify when to say no, (outlined in the podcast), and why it’s important to be able to say no:

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you always say yes, you will feel like everyone else is running your agenda for you,’

‘You've got to make sure that your life has space in it for the important things for you and what you're trying to achieve. ´

´Say no but do it in an elegant and kind way.’

In this episode, Jeannette speaks with Neville Wright, the co-founder of Kiddicare, business mentor, investor, property developer, author, and motivational speaker. During the podcast, Jeannette and Neville discuss his journey to success and what he learned along the way. They specifically talk about how Neville turned his dyslexia and ADHD into an advantage and used it to work in a way that enabled him to create multiple successful businesses.

Neville explains the need to identify what you are good at and excel at that. Then help the members of your team to do the same to get the best out of them. He also talks about why being prepared to take a risk is an essential part of being a successful entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Neville´s dyslexia and ADHD shut down mainstream paths, which pushed him to work on the fringes, where he found huge success. Find something that you are good at, in your element and at your happiest and do that. You need to chase your dreams, not money, then the money will come anyway A lot of people are afraid of hiring people - don´t be. It’s the most effective way to cover your skill gaps and grow fast. Explore each staff members interests and skillset, then use what you discover to move them into roles they will enjoy and excel at. You have to have the right people if you want to expand Neville promised himself he’d be paying a £1 million tax every year and ended up paying £50 million over the years! When you haven’t got anything, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you’re too comfortable you won’t go over the mountain and take a chance.

If you focus too much on what you may lose, rather than on what you could gain, you will never take a risk and move forward. You only have one go at it, don’t be afraid. Do not disappoint the customer. Be clear on what you want, do it your way. World record, selling Kiddicare to Morrisons for £70 million, but this was a side line not the main thing! There are stepping stones in your business where you have to make the hard decisions

Everything is in your mind and in your control Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, just make sure you’re climbing up the right mountain

BEST MOMENTS

‘I think ADHD drove me because I can´t sit still, and want to be onto the next thing.’

‘If you don't do what the customer wants, you will lose. ´

´Why not push the boundaries, and see what you can do?.’

The Answer is Yes - Now What is the Question?

ABOUT THE GUEST Neville Wright

In school Neville Wright had been brainwashed not to succeed. Life’s not fair. If only he could get the deals like others get. He told himself he would start his business when the economy gets better. The weather is so bad he couldn’t start now. Only one of him with 100 excuses, feel familiar. 24 years of excuses had to stop.

26th September 1974 was the day Neville stopped making excuses for having just pennies in his pocket and nothing in his bank, with no skills and no hope of getting another job. Having said that Neville really didn’t want another job as he had had 17 of them.

That day literally changed his outlook on life. His lethargy turned to energy. He realised that his attitude had already determined his aptitude up to that point. Then the real person that had been hiding inside of him for the last 24 years woke up to give him the drive, the determination, the focus and the ability to go from nothing to making far in excess of £100 million.

Neville Wright is the co-founder of Kiddicare. A business that he and his wife, Marilyn sold to Morrisons for £70 million. This was during a deep recession, so the price secured was a record-beating one.

Since then he has worked and succeeded in many different business fields. Building and selling several nursery businesses, hairdressing salons, restaurants and a house building firm and a technology business. Today, he is also a business mentor, investor, property developer, and motivational speaker. As well as the author of the highly rated book - The Answer is Yes - Now What is the Question?

KEY TAKEAWAYS

95% of people never really achieve their full potential or follow all of their dreams – you have a choiceyou do not need to be one of them. Choose to be in the 5% and then avoid the traps of mediocrity The 7 causes of mediocrity: Rear view mirror syndrome – assuming what happened in the past will be the same in the future, but your past does not dictate your future Lack of purpose and vision – not knowing what you want to achieve Isolating incidents – kidding yourself that the ‘one-off’ doesn’t matter, but the way you do anything is the way that you do everything Lack of accountability – can cause you to get blown off track Having a mediocre circle of influence – the people you spend time with affects your own attitude, ambition and mood Lack of personal development – the best investment you can ever make is in yourself Lack of urgency – this can mean things can drift To be able to help others you have to be in good shape, so looking after your needs is not a selfish act. Being self-aware will help you to spot when you are simply settling for mediocrity. Draw a line in the sand, you can choose to go for miracle not mediocrity. Don’t wait start today You need to take a little time out for yourself to be able to go from mediocre to miracle. Set yourself up to be productive using the simple 7 step morning routine that Jeannette shares. This will set you off in the right direction every single day. 6 key areas (SAVERS) to create your ‘miracle morning’ that really works:

Silence – time in silence to create calmness Affirmations – say out loud what you want to achieve/become Visualisation – imagine what it will look & feel like and the actions you need to take to get you there Exercise – healthy body = healthy mind Reading – learn something new every day Scribing (writing) – keep a diary or take notes

Always be learning and look after yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally Your past does not dictate your future. Do not delay starting your journey from mediocre to miracle.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Mediocrity is a direct result of not having a commitment to your personal development to learn, grow and improve,’

‘The best investment you can make is in yourself ´

‘If you're in good shape, everyone around you will benefit as well.’

DESCRIPTION

In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Christian Watts, who is the founder and CEO of City Sightseeing in San Francisco and CEO of Magpie a travel/technology business. , They talk about how Christian started with nothing and arrived in the US with $50 and his cute British accent and found a way to stand out from the crowd in a highly competitive market. Christian has funded and founded several start-ups and with City Sightseeing went from zero to becoming the market leader. More recently Christian talks about how he was able to use his travel industry experience to enter the very lucrative Software as a Service (SaaS) space.

They also talk about how the travel industry is adapting post lockdown.

KEY TAKEAWAYS We thought we could take over the world in the early days, It took a few years to realise we needed to focus. Regardless of the field you work in, finding a way to differentiate yourself from your competitors will enable you to grow fast Diversifying too soon brings problems, it is best to master one business model first. Being in a commodity business is not a good place to be, as always competing on price. Attending conferences is a great way to learn and pick up new ideas, but you must act Christian tells how he started out City Sightseeing by buying an old London bus and shipping it over to San Francisco Deep rooted belief and vision to become number 1 within 3 years – visualised it, talked about it to everyone and made it happen Ignoring negative people around you is important. Somebody saying something isn’t going to work is like a challenge to prove them wrong The thrill of building something, creating growth and gaining market share is what drives you on It’s important to adapt your language depending on whether you’re speaking to investors or to end customers and suppliers Keeping up with and using new marketing techniques is vital if you don´t do that you soon get left behind SaaS is a very lucrative business model which many people can incorporate into what they are already doing Entrepreneurs should ensure they are continually learning Listen to others who work in your field, but if you are certain you can do things differently don´t be afraid to do so, even if it is going to be a big challenge Finding mentors, people you can safely seek advice from will save you from making all kinds of mistakes which will help you progress faster By having the right people around you, you can save so many mistakes Back up your ideas with an actionable plan to make things happen Everybody needs to put more tools in their toolkit to be ready for whatever the future world is going to look like Challenging times push you not to give up button learn and be creative and think ‘this is my time to step up’ During the bad times you can really use that drive onwards How to develop the right mindset to take advantage of the opportunities business challenges and failures present

BEST MOMENTS

‘Took us a few years to really work out that we need to focus on one business,’

‘Doesn't matter if you succeed, or if you fail, it's all about what can we learn from this? ´

´I probably spend more time now learning than ever’

In this truly international podcast episode Jeannette is with Gianmaria Panini who is based in Switzerland and Marcus Cope who is in the UK.

With diverse backgrounds in wealth management and medicine they have a common goal in property investment and share how they got together, the different skills they bring to the partnership and why trust is a vital aspect when building any relationship.

This is a great opportunity to hear about the important elements that you need to share when working closely with someone and why any entrepreneurial journey brings challenges to overcome.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a large and wide skills network that you can utilise is vital. Having an alignment of values and making sure you get on is an important aspect of working with someone else. When you have identified what your skills are you can effectively source the other skills you require for your team. You need to understand your skills and where your time can be most effective. Being transparent and open is vital if you want people to trust you. It’s choosing the strategy that is appropriate for you and your circumstances at a particular time. The investor needs to understand what’s going on and have trust in the relationship. The return on property investment internationally is based very much on how and when. Being an entrepreneur means there is always something to do and leveraging other people and prioritisation are key to being successful. The more you do the more disciplined you have to be to accomplish what you want. Things work well because we have shared values and a shared vision.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You need to make sure you get along with the other person’

‘It’s about building a relationship of trust

‘As an entrepreneur, you have to schedule in time to relax and spend time with family’

In this episode, we hear how Jeannette has pivoted from a hugely successful corporate career into the entrepreneurial space building a portfolio of businesses including property, board advisory, mentoring and podcasting.

Jeannette shares great advice about the differences that being part of a mentoring programme makes and why it’s important to get started and build a team that’s right for you.

Everyone has dreams and it’s possible to turn your dreams into reality by having a clear plan to move forward with. This is a great opportunity to hear how Jeannette has made it happen.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Mentorship is about accountability, getting the best from the education you have invested in, support, encouragement, technical expertise and being pushed to achieve more. It’s important to understand the skills you have, identify any gaps and then build a team that fills those gaps and together will effectively combine all the skills required. Spend time understanding what you want to achieve with your property business. Manchester is a great property investment area, has a good entry point of purchase price, lots of investment in the city, high rental demand and supply of stock Having mentors and surrounding yourself with people who are already successful helps you to understand the size of the opportunities out there.It’s important to know what skills you bring to the game, identify gaps, agree who is accountable for which parts of the business and then recruit the right people onto your team If you start off with unrealistic expectations then you may end up being disappointed - true for property but also true for any business. Plan realistically and then if you achieve better that’s upside. The initial steps, the setup phase is important and part of this is doing your research, spending some time on the ground, build relationships and putting together your team. The importance of this is often underplayed.Start with one deal and keep going one deal at a time. Go through a full cycle so you get to learn the whole process end to end. You will always learn and this allows you to tweak and improve. Turn your dream into a plan and move forward by taking one action at a time every day and then you will build your business. Most people have lots of transferrable skills that they can bring into property, so don’t underestimate that. You have to be very disciplined with your time, plan carefully and allocate specific times to specific parts of your business and life to achieve more Match your most productive energy levels with the most important tasks and actions you need to do. Avoid distractions wherever possible and stay focused. If you are in a situation you don’t like, or it’s not going well you have 3 choices

Try and change it
Accept it
Get out There are lots of different strategies in property and you can get started without any capital. Top three pieces of advice from Jeannette if you want to make a start in property - don’t procrastinate make a start, get out networking to meet like-minded people and know your numbers.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It showed us the way to the strategy which was the best for us’

‘It’s important the people you work with regularly are the right fit for you’

‘Mentoring is about the people you have around you and the opportunities you see’

Jeannette is with Alex Gisbert Co-Founder and CEO of Fastpayhotels, innovators in B2B hotel distribution.

As a fast-growing business who now work with 30,000 hotels around the world and in 78 countries Fastpayhotels have shown that entrepreneurial spirit and innovation is the way to grow successfully on a global stage.

As someone who pivoted from the corporate space to his own innovative start-up he explains why the details and being authentic make the difference.

Alex and Jeannette also discuss the importance of integrity, your network and understanding that the things that don’t work out are always opportunities to learn and move forward if you are prepared to work hard.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Going through your cost ledgers line by line is the way to understand exactly where the money goes in a company. You can do a Masters IN business or DO a Masters AT a business, resulting in Alex turning around and selling his family restaurant chain to Pizza Express Learning from the grassroots up makes all the difference to be credible as a leader in a family business – from bottle washer, to waiter to being able to work the bar. You have to work your way into situations. Creating empathy with suppliers builds huge bridges and opens doors, criss cross your career into interesting conversations As a CEO you are broadly looking at 3 areas costs, profit and brandApproach of I don’t need to know the details, just make it happen Take risks, there always has to be a better way of doing things The right mindset is vital to understanding that even if something doesn’t work out it’s a learning opportunity. If you don’t think of failure as failure but as an opportunity to learn you can always move forward. As you progress in your career, you build confidence in taking risks and gain comfort taking even bigger risks as you progress. People worry about what they may lose instead of what they might gain, which often means they never get going in the first place. Globalised growth is really hard to do The use of language is hugely important when you are trying to globalise a business. Jargon and idioms can be easily misinterpreted and you can alienate people whose first language is not englidh overnight so you have to watch out for that.

You can never underestimate the cultural differences, diversity and the importance of understanding the different ways of doing business around the world. Understanding details makes all the difference. Having a supportive partner in your life and in your business, that backs you all the way helps massively in making those big leaps into the unknown. Just go for it and do something that will make you happy! It’s about giving it a go - you have to work hard with integrity and professionalism. Setting up a business isn’t easy but it’s worth it – from remortgaging the house to ramping up credit card debt You can only regret what you do, you can’t regret what you don’t do, so just do it. Your reputation and integrity are everything and people make decisions to work with you based on it despite which big companies you have worked for. Never try and be two personalities – take your personal values and traits to work with you everyday. Its part of having integrity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I was exposed to entrepreneurship and leadership early in my career and it does give you confidence’

‘If you only ever do your job description you will only ever be your job description’

‘Working with integrity is massively important’

Can you face your fears and do it anyway?

Many people don’t ever fulfil their true potential because of fear but you can learn how to effectively face your fears and move through them to success using the 5 steps Jeannette shares in this episode.

Fear can be very limiting and can be wide-ranging from a fear of failure to a fear of losing money.It’s a natural reaction but learn to face your fears and you will be able to move to the next level and achieve the greatness that is within you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Experiencing fear is a natural reaction When fear kicks in it can elicit two responses flight or fight We have a choice as to how we react when we have feelings of fear Fear can be debilitating and hold you back, to the point that we might not even get started, meaning you never fulfil your potential. Fear comes in all shapes and sizes but can include some of these – fear of judgement from others, fear of failure, loss of face & reputation, fear of loss of money, or actually being fearful of success itself and what that can actually mean for us. Marianne Williamson, the American spiritualist activisit and founder of the Peace Alliance says ‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate it is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our dark that frightens us’ Be the person you want to be, have no regrets. Arnold Schwarzenegger says ‘ we can’t always win, but don’t be afraid to fail’. 5 step process if you ever feel fear or panic setting in;

If you start to feel feelings of fear then just stop what you are doing.
You will often be thinking about what you will lose if you take action but you need to push any negative thoughts away.
Reframe your thoughts in a positive way – what could you have to gain?
Take the first step and you will have started on the right track

5. Keep going taking it one step at a time and moving forward.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Unfortunately, lots of people never fulfil their potential because of fear’

‘The most successful people have experienced multiple failures along the way’

‘Just give it a go because even if you mess up you will be learning something’

In this episode, Jeannette is in conversation with Anne Houlton who successfully pivoted from a senior position in dentistry to multi-millionaire property investor.They discuss Anne’s journey and what it takes to be a successful female entrepreneur in the world of property investment.

As someone who acknowledges that she likes to please others, Anne discusses how she makes the brave decisions that take her forward in the property arena. This is a candid discussion about what it takes in business, accountability, mentors, helping others and being courageous.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Being traditionally educated is not the same as being financially savvy. Dream of home ownership was embedded into Anne from an early age, growing up in a rented house in South-East London. Anne’s entrepreneurial spirit comes from having scarcity in her life and a lack of abundance in her childhood. Leverage your money to get a much better return. No coincidence with the term ‘safe as houses’. You make mistakes along the way, but you learn from that. You have to be brave and courageous and keep moving forward making sure you enjoy the opportunities in life. An entrepreneur is always hungry for the next thing and prepared to take risks. Anne’s drive comes from wanting people to like, love and approve of her and striving for more. Everyone needs to have mentors and the right people to show them what they can achieve. It’s the accountability, knowledge and support from someone who is not part of your agenda, but the mentee has to take the action.You need your tribe to help you to get where you are going. If you are able to identify what’s important to you then the opportunities fall into place. Be clear on what you want and then focus on getting there. Don’t focus on other people’s agenda, carve out dedicated time for yourself for blue-sky thinking. Being in the best physical and mental state as an entrepreneur is critical to success. Personal development is an ongoing thing – always want to be a better version of yourself It’s important to make sure you enjoy the journey as much as the destination, and celebrate success along the way. There is nothing to stop you in property you can embrace it all. In property you need to be a people person and be prepared to work and if you do this and take action you can be successful. Once you have property it’s there forever as a passive income Don’t wait to buy property, buy property and wait Helping other people makes you feel joyful and when you help others your business will grow.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I could retire and take up knitting but I would just stagnate, it would be awful. You have to keep moving forwards in life’

‘If you are calm and in the best physical and mental state you are better placed to support others’

‘Exercise is time for you and can often be the time when you resolve problems and have your best ideas’

‘You have to be brave and courageous and keep moving forward’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Anne's on a mission to change people’s lives through property investing. She spent 30 years exchanging her time for money as a dentist before attending her first Progressive Property event in January 2014. She was trapped in a financial comfort zone with a good income but not enough time to do all the things she really loved, traveling the world, spending time with family and friends, fitness, and riding her horses and bikes. She quit her job as a dentist and her husband Steve quit his job as a GP in September 2015 when their income from property replaced their salaries. Property investing has given them financial and time freedom and their lives now couldn’t be more different.

Anne has a portfolio of over 80 properties. Four of these are HMOs and the rest are Single Let's. Her first (and true) love is Single Lets. Why? Because the income is the most passive of any property strategy with long-term tenants and high demand. They are a low-risk, low time-intensive, Set and Forget model.

Anne set up her own Lettings Agency that manages her properties for an additional income stream. Her property businesses take up less than 5 hours a week of her time as she outsources as much of the work as possible. With Single Let's it really is possible to do one-tenth of the work you are currently doing in your career and make ten times the money, you just need to be shown how!

Since 2015 Anne has been a public speaker and trainer. She’s discovered a new vocation, inspiring others to build the property portfolio of their dreams. As a healthcare professional, she helped to change people’s lives one person at a time. Now, teaching one to many, she’s making a difference to so many more people. Anne has delivered over 280 days of property training and has trained thousands of property investors how they too can become financially free through investing in property.

When you are dealing with many different things it can often lead to feelings of overwhelm and sometimes not knowing where to turn or how to move forward.

In this episode Jeannette shares a simple and highly effective tool that is hugely valuable for anyone who wants to optimise their time and achieve their goals.

Everyone wants to make the most of their time and get the best from life and this is a great opportunity to find out how to stop the overwhelm and make positive changes to achieve what you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone wants to make the most of their time and get what they want from life. Use a blank sheet for each of the 21 days, 3 weeks is a reasonable duration to create an accurate picture. [If you are a woman, you may want to keep this log for 28 days so that it covers your full cycle] Use columns for time, task, details, energy level and area. Throughout the day record every task and its duration. If it’s easier for you, you can also record this at the end of the day, but make sure you do it on the day as otherwise you will forget. It will only take you 10 minutes each day! Identify if the task was for work, social or if you were resting. When you review the tasks, you need to record how you felt while completing the activities – were you lethargic, steady, energised or on fire? We all have different rhythms throughout the day with peaks and troughs in our energy levels, so it’s important to understand what your personal rhythm is. Note whether the activity is a key life area, key result area or income-generating area and record what type of activity you are doing. At the end of the 21/28 days review the log to identify patterns and trends making changes to optimise your time. You should be matching your most important tasks with your high energy levels. Decide on the changes you need to make and take action.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Give it a go and you will find it will make the space you need for yourself’

‘We are all different, the key is to be aware of your own energy levels throughout the day’

‘Make sure you write everything down throughout the day’

In this episode, Jeannette is with Simon Maunder serial entrepreneur who is into everything from yachts, jets, property, radio and bowling. Simon’s whole approach to doing business is always about how he can disrupt the standard business model and do something bigger and better in a new innovative way.

He talks with Jeannette about the entrepreneurial journey he has been on and the characteristics of an entrepreneur in this fascinating insight. He shares his motivation and why his enjoyment comes from creating something new or better. Simon has experienced success and sometimes failed, but as an entrepreneur, he explains how the learning from when things don’t work out is what makes it possible to adapt and see the opportunities that only an entrepreneur can when looking for the next success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s about looking at a business with fresh eyes and recognising what could be done better. Simon loves starting from the bottom up and being a disrupter in whichever sector he goes into. A great example is what Simon has done with his yachts and jets businesses, where he has disrupted the model and made co-ownership of yachts and jets affordable, often cutting the costs in half!! Having a real focus on the customer has always been at the heart of Simon’s ethos You’re not as brave when you start out in business but as you get more experience that gives you the confidence to push out of your comfort zone, challenge and do things differently If you go out in business and try to do it well you stand a good chance of success. There are always ways where you can use technology or another external factor to make it more efficient It’s a key motivator to be working in something that you enjoy. If you wake up in the morning feeling excited about what you do then that’s the best place to be. The biggest message from Simon is get out there and just do it! Be brave enough to step out. I’ve learnt from the things that have gone wrong and its always about getting out there and getting started. As an entrepreneur, if you fail, you learn from it, move on,adapt, gain confidence and grow from there. Failure as an entrepreneur is hard to get to as you never see it that way but instead pivot and use that failure to create new businesses Often when you plan for failure that will be where you will be because you are not looking for success. Success isn’t just about the money, it’s really about the feeling of achieving something off your own back that means you are successful. We are all ordinary people it’s just some people strive for something else As an entrepreneur, you can take a business to a certain level but there is a point where the structure can place the entrepreneur at odds with the growing business. Entrepreneurs can lack the cheques and balance aspect required for a large organisation Surrounding yourself with the right people is a hugely important part of the journey to success for the entrepreneur.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Once you are brave enough to step out, failing will be a long way in front of you’

‘Focus on getting there, run like hell and jump’

‘It’s about seeing the opportunities’

Relationships are at the heart of everything in business and its critical to build both new relationships and nurture and maintain the ones you already have.People seldom step back and look at relationships within the context of what they want to achieve.

In this episode, Jeannette shares a simple but highly effective tool to maximise the relationships you have so that you can focus and nurture the important relationships that will make a difference to your business, career and life in general.

KEY TAKEAWAYS When we think about relationships we often don’t categorise them into the level of influence someone has and the level of interest or direct involvement they have. However by doing this and drawing up a 4 box matrix either in our mind or physically on paper it can really change the game. People with a high level of influence who are very involved and interested in your business must be your priority – these sit in the top right hand quadrant of your sphere of influence Relationships with those who are not that interested in what you are doing and those that have no influence on what you want to achieve sit in the bottom left quadrant of your sphere of influence – you should not be focusing on these as they are casual observers. Those in your sphere who have no direct interest but are highly influential could be advocates for you and your business. Engage and nurture these individuals because they can be fantastic supporters even though they are not directly involved in what you are doing. The group who are highly involved and interested but do not have high levels of influence are your team, they are the ‘doers’ – it’s important to engage with these people, explain your vision so they are committed to the journey with you and what you’re trying to achieve and explain what’s in it for them You need to nurture these different relationships depending on which group they sit within and focus your effort in the right areas to ensure you leverage your sphere of influence to the maximum. You can use the matrix to review your relationships and see those that you should be prioritise and nurture, and those which you should pay much less attention to. It’s rare that we think about our network and relationships in this way but it’s such a simple but effective tool to use.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s simple and effective as a tool to look at the relationships you have’

‘It will help you to focus your time on the relationships with influence and interest’

‘Have a sphere of influence plan’

Jeannette is with Garry Wilson who has over 20 years’ experience in the travel sector and is currently CEO of Easy Jet Holidays. They discuss the role of the entrepreneur and the entrepreneurial spirit that exists within the travel space, even within the corporate world. Mentors, role models, passion, surrounding yourself with the right people and failure all have a role to play for the successful business person whether corporate executive or entrepreneurial start up. Garry and Jeannette share great tips about what’s important for anyone who wants to move upward in any business situation.

The travel industry has a whole range of businesses from large corporates to solopreneurs. Garry has always found great opportunities for his entrepreneurial spirit to thrive in all the businesses he’s been in and this episode is a hugely inspiring insight into what it takes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Having the ability to take ownership gives you confidence and drives you forward. Entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial spirit can and does exist within big organisations The hotel industry is made up of entrepreneurs and their drive and passion is infectious and they have huge energy, which Garry has learnt so much from.In any approach, the most important thing is to make a decision. If you can articulate the vision and know what it is then you can take the decision and move forward. Surround yourself with people who are like-minded. Easy Jet Holidays is a start-up within the construct of a corporate, which is the perfect combination to be entrepreneurial but with the backing of a big brand behind you Having the right power team around you is key and building a team of really smart people who you can nurture and develop enables people to take ownership. As a CEO it’s important to ensure that any opinion you give is adding value. Being surrounded by inspirational people and being mentored by them means you can ask questions and they will help to develop you. Always try to be in a place where you enjoy working with the people who are around you. You can’t do it all on your own, role models and mentors are key. The successful entrepreneur or start-up has to be characterised by the number of failures along the way because otherwise, you don’t have the potential to make it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’ve never regretted a single day working in travel’

‘It’s easier to work upwards than just forwards’

‘Regardless of experience, everyone is a consumer and their opinions matter’

In this episode, Martin Morgan founder of Travel House, serial property investor, hotelier and owner & Director at Swansea Football Club talks about his incredible journey and the experiences that have shaped his ethos and values.

Martin advocates doing something you love and believes in making the most of every minute of your life. He shares some great advice on what to focus on and how to get started in business in this fascinating insight into the man behind multiple highly successful businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS A natural entrepreneurial spirit is about seeing things in a different way from everyone else. When you are doing something you love, it’s not work and Martin wants to live every minute and enjoy life. The epitome of this was when Martin helped save his beloved Swansea City football club from bankruptcy taking the club from the 4th division to the Premiership and Europe, as showcased in the film Jack to King! Networking with the right people, such as Peter Long, former CEO of TUI has helped Martin drive his businesses forward When you have no money it was the fear of failure and wanting to be successful that were the key drivers for Martin. It’s important and is a source of pride for Martin to have been able to undertake developments locally and support local suppliers for the projects and investments in his home town of Swansea. Have an eye for quality and always try to create a great product and service, which is what Martin did when he built one of the best boutique hotels, Morgans Hotel, where Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas have stayed It’s about trying to do the best in business and the best in your personal life. It’s about reaching to achieve the optimum in any business. This was clearly demonstrated when Martin sold Travel House to TUI for £40m Martin has always taken on businesses and run them as if he was going to keep them forever, and often opportunities can appear from there It’s important to learn to not only manage your money but also how to save and invest it wisely. The young want to make all their money in a very short amount of time but making money is a gradual process. Making the first thousand pounds is the most difficult, and after that it becomes easier to make millions When you are starting out focus on one thing and work hard at it.

BEST MOMENTS

Join a wonderfully inspiring episode of the Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast as Jeannette is joined by serial entrepreneur, property investor and mentor Kevin McDonnell. Together they discuss never giving up on your dreams and how short term pain can lead to long term gain. They also consider the importance of aligning yourself with like-minded people, and how doing so allowed Kevin to leave his full-time job, clear his debts and become financially free.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is very easy to do nothing. It is very easy to stay in a job you do not enjoy for fear of quitting as the environment is comforting for you and the people whom you work with are familiar. These people, however, will usually turn out to not be business-minded, whereas surrounding yourself with like-minded business thinking people will allow you to go on and create a successful business.

This is your journey. It is not the journey of your friends and family and you have got to live your dream, don’t give up on your dream for any reason. It is very easy to let life get in the way when you could be moving your business forward. It has got to be about having short term pain for a long time gain.

Throughout your life and certainly within the school system you will have been fed an ideal career and life path you should follow. It is only when you start aligning yourself with the right kind of people that you will see begin to see a change in yourself and your mindset. Surround yourself with people who will tell you ‘you’re not thinking big enough’ and ‘you can achieve more’.

Be yourself and no matter what you will align yourself to people that will want to work with you in business as well as forming good friendships. If you continuously try to be somebody you are not and are not true to yourself, you will eventually be found out and end up back at square one.

If you’re in a situation where you are unhappy, you only ever have three choices. These three choices are: change it, accept it or leave it. It is a simple concept, however, the majority of people choose to accept it rather than changing it.

Sometimes we can be so focused on the end result in which we desire, that we do not enjoy the journey on the way. Whilst it is great to be ambitious and have an end goal to strive towards, you must remember to enjoy yourself along the way.

BEST MOMENTS

“Nothing else except property had the ability to create the income that I needed.”

“They don’t mean to hold you back, what they’re doing is they are protecting you.”

“We only have one life, so let's enjoy it whilst we’re here.”

Many of us often don’t take the time to reflect on our personal journeys however, it is always useful to reflect on where you are today by taking the lessons of the past. Join Jeanette today as she guides you through a simple exercise which allows you to look at your personal journey timeline and identify key milestones, people and curveballs that got you where you are today and what this means for you going forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your personal journey timeline is about looking back and reflecting on the key moments that you have had in life and being able to pinpoint those key milestones in terms of how that shaped who you are today.

Reflecting on your journey helps to set the context of where you are now, and it helps you build an understanding of the person you have become through all of those years of experience be it in a business sense or in your personal life. This building and knowing you who you are, warts and all is a refreshing way to do.

Take a blank piece of paper and draw a timeline, noting down your significant life events that have influenced you in the journey that you have been on. Focus on events, milestones and transitions that have had an impact on your development, these can be positive or negative and personal or professional events.

Note down opportunities that made a difference in your life that helped you grow and develop, identify the obstacles that got in the way of your journey as well as noting down any unexpected delights that happened. Add in the name of individuals who were significant in your life and who contributed to your development or possibly those who hindered your development.

Ask yourself what lessons you learned along the way, what you learned about yourself, the people that helped you the most and how you operate best. As you look at your timeline, think about what new understanding emerges and what does that, therefore, mean for you going forward.

BEST MOMENTS

“You can't drive a car by looking through a rearview mirror, however, I do think it is a useful thing to do to reflect”

“The reality is, what happens in your personal life affects your work and business life and vice versa.”

“There’s going to be so many lessons when you take the time to go back and reflect.”

In the previous episode of the podcast Jeannette talked about being a successful woman in business and today she is joined by one of aviation’s leading businesswomen, Chris Browne OBE, former Chief Operating Officer of Easyjet and Chief Operating Officer of TUI Airlines.. Chris was awarded an OBE for her services to aviation in 2013. Together they discuss the importance of strong female role models in young girls’ lives to allow them to reach their full potential, leadership skills and how growing up through the troubles in Northern Ireland shaped Chris to become the woman she is today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Once you have been through huge challenges and faced difficult decision making in your career, you certainly know how to tackle those problems again - you don’t hesitate twice and you know the levers that you have to pull. Automatically for women, so many career paths are just closed off because women themselves are not even considering following these routes. It is important that kids, particularly young girls have strong role models, and we are able to open kids' eyes to what’s out there and that they can do anything they want. This is especially true for children from underprivileged backgrounds that may not have the same opportunities as others. Any strong leader worth their salt will know when you have to dive into the detail and when you have to step back. You need to learn not to be afraid to hire people that are better than yourself. It’s also key to have the good grace to let them get on with their job, not interfere and know when it is necessary to step in. It is always appreciated when you are able to work for companies where you are able to be yourself. It is really important to be authentic and not forget your roots and where you came from. Leadership is about looking behind and who is following you instead of looking above. It is important to ignore the self-doubt that you may have, you may look back on your time and regret how much you listened to it. Get on with the opportunity you have been given and trust in yourself. If there's one thing that tough circumstances can teach you it is to never give up, always fight for what is right. That has to be a rule in life itself and it is a tremendous feeling of what you should and shouldn’t do and having that element of moral justice. Because, when you do experience tough circumstances first hand it leaves a lasting impression on you.

BEST MOMENTS

“The very first thing I remember being said to me as I walked into the reception at 8 o’clock on a Monday morning, quite nervous and a guy said to the receptionist ‘oh my word have you heard, they’re sending a woman to run the airline, what will they think of next.”

“Deep down inside I was terrified. I thought, is this me? Am I finished career-wise?”

“Don’t tell me I can't do something because that really riles me, and I’ll just do the opposite and try and prove you wrong.”

Diversity in the workplace offers many benefits, from creative problem solving to representing the general population. Today Jeannette discusses her top 10 tips for women to gain equality in business. Today's episode highlights the importance of women mastering their mindset and self-belief. Jeannette discusses how this can allow you to create new opportunities for yourself, how to create your personal brand and why a linear career path may not always be the most practical route to reach your career goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most critical areas for women in business is mastering their mindset and self-belief, as women we often lack this in comparison to male colleagues. When you are in the right mindset you are mentally ready to take on those opportunities when they come up as well as creating new opportunities for yourself. It is important to be realistic about what balance really is and being fully present in the moment. To give everything the best you possibly can, but also stop beating yourself up for the time when you are in your other space. Having confidence isn’t about being arrogant but about being comfortable in your own shoes, being able to go for it even if you don’t feel like it. If you work hard at your confidence over time, it will become easier and become a natural learned skill. Whether we like it or not, we are all being judged by others. Have a think about how you want to come across, what your values are, and how you want to present yourself. This is not about being disingenuous about who you are, but your personal brand stands for who you are and how you present yourself is a reflection of that. If you are ambitious and would like to work your way up the ladder or start your own business, there is usually more than one route to get there, it is worth thinking creatively about the different options that you have in particular. As a woman it might be that you need to be creative about how you reach your end goal, be clear on what you want but at the same time it does not have to be a linear career path. In life we are going to get knock backs, not everything goes our way. If you are able to grow a bit of a thicker skin and be resilient through the knock backs and be able to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, this will help you in the long run.

BEST MOMENTS

“Globally, women earn just 63% of a man's wage, even women doing the same job as a man get just 77% of what men earn, and that just feels inherently wrong in today's society.”

“If you’re struggling with your self-belief it is helpful to see other role models that have actually done what you’re trying to achieve and that can massively help.”

“Having a few ‘go to’ people that you can get some support, encouragement and opinions can absolutely help massively. If you can get mentors or coaches that again can really transform the situation for yourself.”

Join Jeannette today and discover how you can scope out your vision and action plan using her simple 6 step model. Jeannette outlines the importance of having a clear purpose and vision so you know where your life is heading, highlighting your core values and where they come from as well as learning how you create smart objectives and how to measure the success of them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to have a clear purpose and vision. If you know where you’re heading then it is much easier to get there more efficiently. If you do not know what you want then you can just wander around directionless. Having a clear vision allows you to focus on the things that are really important to you. The first part of the model is the visioning piece, this is where you can do your big thinking and try to test yourself and be honest with yourself. Ask yourself big questions such as ‘what is your reason why?’, What do you want from life?’, ‘What kind of person do you want to become?’ and ‘What sort of legacy do you want to leave behind?’. Your values are the core ways that you live your life, and they outline what is important to you. What are your core values? Why are they important to you? And where do they come from? Values in life can come from childhood, family and friends, these values will direct the way that you want to live your life. You may have some overriding objectives, or you may have some specific objectives for each of your focus areas, whatever works for you is fine. What you need to ensure is making sure your objectives are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound). KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) allow you to start putting some metrics in terms of each of your objectives. These indicators can be anything from profits to weekly new leads and even personal goals such as weight loss. These really help to measure whether or not we have been successful.

BEST MOMENTS

“It is great having a vision, but at the same time you need to be able to take action and take practical steps to make it a reality.”

“If you know what you want and what you can achieve in life, you can really bring those people you are about on the same journey as yourself.”

“The people you spend time with can sometimes be a blocker. If you want to focus on something and fulfil your purpose, make sure you’re spending time with people that are going to encourage support and lift you up.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have those feelings deep down inside that there is more to life, and you want to do something different, take the advice given and absolutely follow your dreams and pursue your passion. Take stock, assess what is important in your life and come to the conclusion of what you want from your career. Ask yourself some quite big questions such as: ‘What kind of person do I want to be?’ ‘What legacy do I want to leave behind?’ ‘What are the dreams I have that I have not fulfilled?’. Don’t think small, have a big vision, fulfil your dreams, reach your potential and have no regrets. With the right mindset, you can achieve absolutely anything in life. However, if you have been in a certain sector or career, a big change can sometimes feel quite daunting and you may have doubts about yourself. Timing is key, because if your mind isn’t set for this big change then the chances are you are just going to procrastinate and not take action. Create an implementation plan. Starting by working backwards and by breaking it down into small individual actions that you are able to take actions on every single day. Allocate resources from your own experience and time or by lining up the correct resources that will enable you to move over into your new venture. The best investment you can ever make is in yourself. If you are moving into a new business venture, you may have some knowledge gaps. You can fill in those gaps in numerous ways such as books, formal education, mentorships and coaches. You have to take action. It is critical to compartmentalise your diary so that you can take action in the right areas. Once you take the first few steps and you are moving along your set plan, all of a sudden you will gather momentum and you will realise that you have actually done quite a lot, but you just have to start. It is about creating a new structure and new routines to live by.

BEST MOMENTS

“I just thought there was more to me, and the best of me was yet to come.”

“Aim for the moon and you will land amongst the stars.”

“If you can find people that have trodden the road before you then that is a great way of learning from people that that have been there before.”

“You need to get to the point where your ‘shoulds’ become musts’ because then you will take action.”

If you’re just starting out in a new career or wondering how to ensure you have a successful one, then join Jeannette today as she discusses her top 7 tips to ensure you have a successful career. Today, she looks at why it is important to have self-belief and understand that you deserve every opportunity you have been given, how loving what you do will make it feel as if you’re not even working, and how failing is not really a failure at all, it is just a learning process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Believe in yourself. Very often, the imposter syndrome can kick in where perhaps you don’t feel good enough or feel you don’t deserve a seat at the table, which is all nonsense, because you absolutely do deserve every opportunity that life throws at you. Be really clear on your vision and your purpose for what you want to achieve. If you know where you’re heading, it is much easier to get there, you will get there faster and with a lot less heartache along the way. Work hard, and work smart. You have to put the effort in, you have to take action, nothing happens for nothing. Having a strong work ethic is important but working smart is even more important. If you don't take action, nothing will happen, things don’t happen miraculously. Surround yourself with the right people – people who will lift you up, support you, give you encouragement and advice but will also call you out if you’re kidding yourself or not doing enough. Whatever you do don’t let the naysayers put you off. Put yourself out there – build relationships, be yourself, be kind to others, don’t think about what’s in it for you, always try to do good by the other person. Treat other people as you’d like to be treated yourself. If you love what you do, you won’t feel like you’re working. The ability to be able to merge your passion with your profession is great. Try to ensure that you follow a passion and if you can do that then truly, you don’t feel like work is an arduous thing at all. Don’t be afraid to fail. You can't always win, but don’t be afraid to fail. Fear or failure, judgment and losing will really stop you. If you are always worried about what you are going to lose and not focusing on what we could gain, then sometimes we will never even try. Failure isn’t really a failure at all, it is all learning.

BEST MOMENTS

“Very often we don’t just pause for breath and think about the lessons we’re learning along the way and how we can be an even better version of ourselves if we actually did take stock a little bit more.”

“So often I will hear people say ‘I should have, I would have, I could have’ but they didn’t.”

“I’m a massive believer in the law of reciprocity, what goes around, comes around. I believe that if you’re kind to people and treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself then absolutely that will come back to you tenfold.”

In the exclusive first episode of The Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast, former corporate CEO turned entrepreneur Jeannette Linfoot takes you through her journey on how she worked hard from the bottom up to reach CEO of large businesses in the corporate world and to now becoming the owner of multiple successful businesses. Join Jeannette as she talks you through her upbringing in Manchester, surrounded by people who instilled her with a hard work ethic and a belief that anything is possible, enabling her to become the first person in her family to go to university. Also learn how she found the perfect working environments enabling her to flourish in her career. She also talks about how working internationally, in culturally diverse environments, taught her how to navigate her way through different business and personal relationships.

Jeannette’s nearly 30 years in business all comes together with the launch of the Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast. Jeannette is a passionate believer that we all have greatness within us and that we can achieve anything in life, as long as we are brave, bold and brilliant. Grabbing opportunities, dealing with challenges and taking risks but being the ‘true’ you are core to Jeannette’s values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS It is a good skill to learn the value of working hard, and that people don’t just give you anything for nothing in this life. Learning this will stay with you throughout your time and your career. Being brought up by parents who instill a hard work ethic into you will help you in life and allow you to take ownership and responsibility. Finding the right culture and environment where you can really flourish, be challenged but accepted for who you are is critical to success. If anybody is thinking about where they are right now, if it doesn’t feel right or you don’t share the same values as those around you then think about whether that is what you want and where you want to be now and in the future. You may come across situations in your life where you feel very uncomfortable and out of your comfort zone.Think to yourself ‘I’ll give it a go, how bad can it be?’. Don’t be afraid to fail. You can’t always win but don’t be afraid to fail. Just put yourself out there and then great things can happen. Working in a culturally diverse environment will teach you how to navigate your way through different relationships in a sensitive and respectful way and how to adapt your style accordingly in order to get the right results. It is important to have clarity and purpose and knowing what you want to achieve in life, because once you know that you can take steps to achieve your potential. Many people never fulfil their dreams, we don’t want to be one of those people, we want to push on and achieve everything we can in life. When you’re making a big change in your career, it is always worth considering: ‘where are your strengths?’ ‘where have you already got experience, that you’re confident in?’ and therefore when you do start out on a new venture, it is not so scary because you’re pulling on all of that experience and hard-earned knowledge.

BEST MOMENTS

“Exploring how by being brave, bold and brilliant we can really do fabulous things in our careers, in our business lives and in our personal lives.”

“You need to be able to do what you need to do to survive”

“Being culturally aware, taught me a lot. Not only how to do business in different business environments with different cultural dimensions, but it taught me a lesson in life..”

“It was time for me to be more entrepreneurial, it was time for me to have my own businesses, to invest my own money and to have the variety of a portfolio rather than being a CEO of a large corporate business.”
