You may have noticed already - spark is my favourite word. It explains so much, it means so many different things. But most of all it's the thing which drives me and hopefully you to do that special thing you're meant to be doing in this world. So far in the Women with Spark podcast we've been focusing on women with spark and that has led me to so many aha moments but also a realisation. Part of my spark is about teaching and sharing knowledge so every second week I'll be sharing a spark lesson (I'll try to stay under 10 minutes)This week I want to look at why spark is so important for our business. Spark is the thing which sets us apart - it's more than your branding or products - it's about us and why we've created or bought a business. It's why we are the people/business our customers/clients buy from.
