I was delighted to be joined by @Alice Olins, Career Expert, Coach and Trainer, and the Founder of the @Step Up Club, an organisation that works with individuals and teams to help them fulfill potential, navigate and embrace change. This was an impactful conversation with Alice where we explored change and how small businesses can best navigate it.
In this episode we discussed how the loss of Alice's first-born son who was stillborn at 40 weeks continues to influence her life and the person she is today. Alice is an entrepreneur, coach, media expert, journalist, author, public speaker and a mother of three. After the publication of her first book, she founded The Step Up Club, which helps women to thrive in their careers. Highlights of our conversation include an in-depth discussion surrounding self-development, resilience and how to build it, and how to deal with our inner-critic. Books mentioned are: The Chimp Paradox - Prof Steve Peters Chatter: The voice in our head and how to harness it - Ethan Kross Atomic Habits - James Clear Playing big - Tara Mohr You can find Alice at: Website: www.stepupclub.co Instagram @thestepupclub Linked In - Alice Olins

Anyone can live life on their own terms, not just freelancers and those who are self-employed. Being your own boss is a mindset and a conscious decision, not always a title you can put on a resume. We often underestimate how much the freedom we have within our roles in an organisation, whether that's bringing our personalities to work or finding ways in which we can grow in a job. The idea that innovation can only happen outside of traditional roles is shifting. This conversation with Alice Olins, Founder of the Step Up Club, highlighted this notion and had so many tangible takeaways for me. Another that sticks out is being an “intrapreneur”. Intrapreneurs take the innovative thinking of an entrepreneur, challenging ideas and looking for opportunities, but within an organisation. As Alice says so beautifully throughout this episode, we put a lot of pressure on our jobs and they become a measure for how happy we are in our lives, but our needs and wants evolve over our careers. By understanding what our own version of success looks like we can stop comparing ourselves to others and do more of what makes us happy.

Do you feel like a confident person? Even if your answer is yes, most of us have major wobbles from time to time (I know I do!) And as a mum, there are so many times when confidence is needed - those early newborn days where you've got all of this new stuff to get your head around, going to baby groups on your own, being a newbie at the school gate and going back to work after maternity leave all take confidence, and we don't always have it. My guests on this episode - Phanella Mayall-Fine and Alice Olins - have some brilliant thoughts on the matter. Together they run Step Up Club, a great organisation that gives women career support and networking opportunities. Their book, Step Up, was published by Penguin in 2016 and they recently launched The Step Up School. Tell me what you think of the podcast by tweeting me, emailing me or sending me a DM over on Instagram. If you haven't already, leave me a review on iTunes. Hope you enjoy this episode!
