Brave Bold Brilliant Podcast

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 teams' happiness levels and productivity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Only 13% of people at work are happy with their jobs, and are fully engaged with their role and their organisation. If you have a disengaged team, then you cannot hope to achieve the best results for your business. If your people are not with you, then they won't be buying into the vision and values that you are working to build. BEST MOMENTS 'A huge 87% are not engaged!'

Rob Stewart is the leader of Swansea Council, and has spent the last two decades forging a highly successful career in politics and business. In this episode, Rob joins Jeannette to talk about what it means to represent people in the political arena, why mindset matters so much when it comes to leadership, and the practical business lessons both learned and implemented that have turned him into a leader to be admired. KEY TAKEAWAYS The ones who get things done and place themselves as effective leaders, are those who always have a "can do" attitude. If you're negative about your prospects, you're doomed to fail. The pervasive image in the business world is that politicians do not understand their concerns. Coming from a business background himself has given Rob a real advantage. Planning requires something of a reform. Swansea is spearheading this shift in order to allow more businesses to put their mark on the city. Never discount the value that private enterprise can bring to an environment. Most companies are eager to improve their surroundings, which returns vitality for everyone. BEST MOMENTS 'We've taken the hard yards. Now we need to do it at scale' 'I've tried to bring a can-do attitude' 'This isn't something you do lightly' 'Difficulty comes from inconsistency in thinking' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

In this episode, Jeannette explains why taking smaller steps towards your goals might be the key to unlocking broader wins in the long term, and how you can stay focussed on the larger purpose behind your business aims. KEY TAKEAWAYS We often become too obsessed with achieving the biggest results as fast as possible, but the smaller gains, made persistently, are the wins that truly turn the dial. In 2003, the British cycling team had not won the Tour De France for over a hundred years, but a new coach took charge and applied a philosophy that required a holistic view of all elements of the team, improving them all in slight, small ways. This turned around the fortunes of the team in no time. Your outcomes will lag behind your habits. Tiny changes don't show up immediately, but keep pushing and the results will follow. BEST MOMENTS 'Just one percent can really make the difference between success and failure' 'Incremental gains is where you get incredible results' 'Unlock your greatness by being brave, bold and brilliant' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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!'

KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose of Communique is to help businesses to begin on their sustainability journey. We need to help businesses understand what sustainability means and why we should care so much about it. There is still much work to be done in raising up voices who are being left out of business. We must endeavour to help the invisible become visible. Purpose is everything in becoming bold. If you truly believe in something, you will always speak out in defence of that thing.

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

Saja joins Jeannette to talk about the existential moment that changed his life and set him on the course that has taken him to the heights of success, and the incredible ways in which he turned his life from one of doubt and fear, to one of joy and happiness.

To seek fulfilment through our work or service, no matter what it is, requires the need or suffering of others. When we pass through pain, we take a number of lessons that we can use for other people - to inspire them to feel as though their struggles are hopeful ones. The journey of life constantly evolves. As long as we are having an experience, there is evolution to be found. BEST MOMENTS 'These were the two things that changed my life' 'There was no sense of failure in what I did' 'If we depend on our purpose for happiness, we have then depend on the needs or suffering of others' 'There is no such thing as a perfect human being' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Jeannette discusses the concept of rocks, pebbles and sand when it comes to a full life, and explains why it's always wise to get the fundamentals in place first before we fill our lives with the smaller elements, and better manage our time. KEY TAKEAWAYS The rocks stand for the important things in life. The pebbles are still important, but are more malleable. The sand represents all the other "stuff" - the noise and chaos. If your jar is full of sand - the minutiae and rubbish - then you won't be able to fit any rocks. The sand should always fit around the rocks, not the other way around. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to make sure that we spend our time on the right things' 'Make sure the rocks go into your jar first, the pebbles in afterwards, and the sand last' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Richie Jones is the MD and Founder of vvast, which specialises in encouraging two way conversations between businesses and their customer through eCommerce, branding and industry-leading marketing. Richie joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating business journey, the path he's taken combining innovative technology and a glaring gap in the agency market, and how he ensures that his passions always combine with his profession to ensure happy, long term business impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS vvast was born from identifying the many weaknesses of the agency model, combined with a huge skills gap that exist within brands themselves. The key to igniting long term engagement and loyalty, is to create tribes of clients who align perfectly with who you are and what you do. The best way to make sure you're always at the forefront of innovation, is to imagine any challenge from the perspective of the consumer, and look for a solution that provides a frictionless outcome. If you understand your "why", and if you are a purpose-led brand where people follow you religiously, you have to rely less on manipulations such as discounts and sales. BEST MOMENTS 'It's been a varied journey with lots of learnings, for sure' 'We're a genuine extension of how the brand operates' 'Digital has a reputation for being a black art' 'They to being brave, bold and brilliant, is being centred in that moment' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Having spent the majority of his career to date being just in front of the curve, he is now in the sweet spot having found his niche. Launching vvast has allowed Richie to blend his agency experience and brand expertise to deliver an innovative, low-capital entry to market for brands BUT crucially plugging them into a relentless R&D roadmap to accelerate revenue.  He is passionate about the concept of creative destruction and feels genuinely privileged to have seen the inception and gradual impact of ‘the internet' on society and brands. Richie builds teams with a shared love of brand; a stoke for surfing, mountain biking and music; and a drive to deliver epic work. Having embarked on our B Corp journey in 2021, Richie has discovered how aligned it is with his purpose for vvast. It is so much more than environmental impact – it's about considering our contribution to the wider community and understanding the way we do business through an ethical lens.   ABOUT THE HOST Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors.

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.

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

Jeannette explains the concept of the Golden Circle Of Balance - a vital tool for any business that ensures you'll work at your best, break through barriers, and achieve life-changing results. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Golden Circle Of Balance begins with knowing your "why", because if you're not clear on your purpose then how can you hope to get there? Every single person has greatness within themselves. The key to unleashing that greatness is to find someone to unlock it by being brave, bold and brilliant. Around the why are three elements: clarity, discipline and consistency (CDC). Everyone is here for a reason no matter who they are. Clarity of thought on this is key. BEST MOMENTS 'If you want the best results for your business, this will be really helpful' 'It's a daily reminder why you exist' 'We are all here for a purpose'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. 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.

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 story as well as such empowering topics as building a business, the importance of diversity and inclusion, and how to ensure cohesion in the workplace between mentors, coaches, managers and the people who keep our organisations flowing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Having a purpose is the most important component in business, especially at the outset. it provides a beacon by which all decisions are made. Even if we do not achieve the things we hope to, the very process of taking action can teach us valuable lessons about business and ourselves. The teams you build, and the people you take along with you on your journey, are ultimately what will allow you, and them, to be successful. If you are a leader, always strive for authenticity. Accept that you cannot possibly know everything, and use it as a strength. bring talent in and do not shy away from who you are. People buy into leaders that display vulnerability. BEST MOMENTS 'You have to be really clear on what your reason why is' 'I'm fundamentally a good person who's trying to do the best for others' 'If you don't try, you'll never know' 'If you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

To mark International Women's Day 2023, Jeannette is here with a vital reminder to remember that, no matter what field we work in, we should always strive towards building diverse teams, and why doing so is so critical to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being more diverse is not about being better or worse. It's about recognising differences, celebrating differences, and noting the wonderful similarities we all share. Research has proven that diverse teams and boards perform better than non-diverse. The more you diversify, the more you represent your multi-varied customer base. Once you identify where your organisation is, you can better recognise where you wish to be in the future. In order to make significant progress, diversity should always be at the top of the business agenda. If you don't have this buy-in from the top, it's very difficult to drive change. BEST MOMENTS 'It's about diversity in all its wonderful shapes and forms' 'What can we do to make sure we have a far more inclusive and diverse leadership?' 'Diverse teams in general achieve better results' 'Tap into the pool of talent from all diverse backgrounds'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Nick Balzan is the Chief Commercial Officer of Mangias Resorts and Clubs, and one of the most experienced business creatives in the world of travel and hospitality. Nick joins Jeannette to talk about his inspiring business journey, the most insightful lessons he's learned during his swift ascent to success, the best ways to embrace the varied cultures and wonders of the world around you, and why you should always listen to your heart when it comes to chasing your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS We have to push ourselves to leave our comfort zones if we want to find true growth. Sometimes that means leaving the places we know and feel comfortable in, but the growth you experience by being more adventurous is invaluable. When you find yourself in a new place and in the middle of a new culture, it's always best to embrace it as fully as possible. Be humble and be yourself, listen, learn and adapt. To break away from one's past in pursuit of your dreams can be a tough call, but we need to remember that the life we're given is ours to live. Never be afraid to follow the voice of your heart when it tells you to hit the road in pursuit of your dreams. Making changes in business should always be a team effort. You have to lead from the top, but never discount the voices of your team, and keep them involved whenever you can. BEST MOMENTS 'I decided that I needed to make a change in my life' 'Be humble. Listen, learn and adapt' 'It was something I felt I had to do. It's something that he would be proud of' 'Surround yourself with the right people and learn from them as much as possible'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Jeannette meets Founder and CEO of Artist Collective, Evan Price, who has been working in and around the music industry since the age of fourteen, in artist management, digital marketing and coaching. Evan talks about the ways in which he helps and nurtures artists and musicians, and how to bridge the gap between creativity and business. KEY TAKEAWAYS The best thing about any sector, creative or not, is that there is always an opportunity to add the business element to the creative element. With the rise of technology and innovation, there is always the opportunity for growth and development. It takes a entrepreneurial perspective and a little bravery. Learning business sense isn't something you can impart within a day or two. It takes mentorship and guidance - the following of someone else's example. Focus upon one or two big things that really accelerate your path, and once you have, you can then break those things down into smaller, incremental steps. BEST MOMENTS 'I slowly realised that this was the path for me - the business side of things' 'The challenge is to find a way to make the money' 'You've almost got polar extremes - creativity and business' 'Entrepreneurs are also creative problem solvers in business' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The new year is the perfect time of year to reflect upon what has gone before. In this episode, Jeannette talks about the lessons she has learned from the year gone by, the goals we should try to focus on in 2023, and how we can use the events of 2022 in order to ensure our success in the year ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Sometimes we can be so busy chasing the next thing and moving forward, that we miss the chance to reflect upon what we've gained and lost, and take the teachings from both. We could never have anticipated that the economy would be as unstable and damaged as it was. There was initial growth, but some decisions have left us even worse off. If you're relying on a single source of income, then it might be time to think about diversifying now in order to fortify your financial prospects in 2023. It doesn't matter how tough things get, there will always be the chance to find opportunities. Even when markets are bad, it means good things for someone. BEST MOMENTS 'This is the perfect time to reflect' 'Risk can leave you in a vulnerable position' 'My aim is to help as many people as possible to be the best versions of themselves' 'Opportunities are everywhere' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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

Rick Jones is a hospitality and leisure sector leader as well as corporate finance partner, who specialises in working with business owners and management teams on acquisitions, disposals and raising finance. Rick joins Jeannette to discuss his fascinating route through business life, and for a wide-ranging discussion on all things finance, acquisitions and business! KEY TAKEAWAYS Mergers and acquisitions make up the art of advising people on how to best buy and sell businesses, ensuring win-win situations for all involved. It's always best to consider your objectives when coming to the sale of your business. Make sure you know what the aim of the sale is, as it'll help to guide you to the best result. People can successfully sell business without an advisor, but these people are in the minority. It's a very emotional and complicated process and having an expert at your side can be crucial. Even if the economy and the market is tough, there are still hopeful things in the acquisition world. No matter what the landscape looks like, there are always opportunities and deals to be had. You just need to look harder at times. BEST MOMENTS 'I help people navigate the process and find the best way to help them fulfil their ambitions' 'It's good that today there are more routes into professional services' 'What success looks like is something that people should really spend some time with' 'There's no such thing as an A to Z on how to sell your business' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

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

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

She looks at how to keep people engaged, reward them, and ultimately get the best results from your team. Doing so by sharing 12 tips that can be applied in any type of business. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a war on talent, right now. People are at the heart of any good business.

Every single person should have a career development plan. Say thank you to your people regularly. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you are talking about how you reward and recognise people, it is not always about money. ´ ‘Get the right people on the bus, sitting in the right seats and facing in the same direction.' ‘Think about the environment you're creating for your people to make sure it's comfortable, inspiring, and it's going to bring the best out in them.'   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

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

John Lewis have recently announced their intention to diversify their business model, and start investing in property. They plan to spend £500m on building over a thousand rental homes over the forthcoming year. But what will this mean for your own property investing portfolio? In this episode, Jeanette unpacks the story and talks about the impact of such a fascinating new foray for one of the country's most respected business names. KEY TAKEAWAYS The sites at which John Leis are building the rentals are mainly in London - Bromley and West Ealing - but Reading's vacant warehousing may also be part of the plan. Sustainability is a big part of John Lewis's ethos, and they have committed to a net zero pledge by 2035. It will be interesting to see how this stretches into their property plans. John Lewis will now have a retail arm, but also an asset branch that appreciates over time, and brings in cash each month. This demonstrates the value of having a diversified portfolio of investments, as it proves to de-risk other arms of income, and relieves pressure all round. BEST MOMENTS 'There's a commitment to affordable housing, which is very much aligned with John Lewis's values' 'You've got to remember that there's a shortage of 75,000 properties just in London alone' 'It helps you think about your own income stream in context to what's going on in the market' 'They are de-risking their core retail business'  This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Steven Daines who is the Chief Talent & Culture Officer and a member of Accor's Executive Committee. He trained as a banker but decided to take a different direction and joined Carnival Cruise Lines which gave him the travel and hospitality bug. They discuss diversity in-depth. How it benefits companies and the challenges that need to be overcome to achieve true diversity. As well as talking about managing a range of hotels that cover the entire spectrum from budget to luxury and the future of the industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS From the start, Accor decentralised, recruited locally, and empowered those people.  Because of recruiting locally, the Accor group has always had good diversity. But has had to work harder on gender diversity. Decision-making is of a higher quality if you represent the diversity of your customers. Cultural differences still present challenges, but it is a learning curve. Social mobility is a big part of true diversity. Achieving true diversity means different things in different places. Companies need to learn to provide services that work for a far more diverse demographic. Any industry that needs people to work unsociable hours is struggling to attract staff. You learn fastest when you are challenged. If you are given an opportunity, take it. Accor values experience and passion combined with empathy with guests. BEST MOMENTS ‘It is still ridiculous that there should be less than half of the leaders of any company anywhere who are ladies. ´ ‘What I would like, really, is for Accor to be known within the next five years as the most culturally diverse company on Earth.' ‘I think all of us want to experience professional service, but we don't want it to be stiff. We don't want it to be passively formal, it suddenly feels very 19th-century.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
