Jeannette discusses the essential skills of receiving and giving feedback, emphasising its importance in personal and professional growth. She offers twelve practical tips—six for effectively receiving feedback and six for delivering it constructively. Listeners are encouraged to actively listen, process feedback, and take actionable steps to improve, while also learning how to prepare, choose the right environment, and support others when giving feedback

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Receiving and giving feedback is a valuable process that can enhance personal and professional growth, even if it feels uncomfortable at times.

• Six Steps to Receive Feedback:

  • Listen: Absorb what is being said without jumping to defensiveness.

  • Process: Reflect on the feedback and identify any recurring themes.

  • Take Action: Decide how to respond to the feedback constructively.

  • Review Progress: Monitor changes and improvements based on the feedback.

  • Seek Follow-Up Feedback: Proactively ask for additional feedback to gauge progress.

  • Continuous Refinement: Engage in ongoing personal development based on the feedback received.

• Prepare thoroughly before giving feedback, considering the desired outcome and the context in which the feedback will be delivered.

• Ensure that feedback is given in a quiet, distraction-free setting where the recipient can focus and respond appropriately.

• After giving feedback, check in with the individual to see how they are processing it and offer support as needed, fostering a constructive dialogue

BEST MOMENTS

"Feedback is the breakfast of champions and it should be received in silence."

"When you have a more of a maturity about receiving and giving feedback, it can honestly be super valuable in terms of how you come across."

"The great thing about feedback is you decide what to do with it."

"Don't assume a response. You don't know how the person will respond to what you have to say and you may get some surprises."

"We want to help. We're giving feedback because we care both about ourselves, but about the other person."

"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."

Podcast Description

Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences of being Brave, Bold & Brilliant, which have allowed them to unleash their full potential in business, their careers, and life in general. From the boardroom tables of ‘big’ international businesses to the dining room tables of entrepreneurial start-ups, how to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities and take risks, whilst staying ‘true’ to yourself is the order of the day.

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.

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.

According to The Prince’s Trust annual Youth Index report (2022)

• 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

Today, The Prince’s Trust is one of the UK’s leading youth charities, founded by King Charles in 1976.

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.

Our plans in Wales will directly help to alleviate the issues this generation are experiencing. The rising cost-of-living is having a significant impact on unemployed young people supported by The Prince’s Trust.

Jeannette is joined by Paul Flaum, CEO of Bourne Leisure, to discuss his background and career in the travel, leisure, and hospitality industry. Paul shares his upbringing in a close-knit family and the valuable lessons he learned from his parents' successful business.

He discusses the importance of putting the guest first and creating memorable experiences, and talks about the challenges he has faced in his career, the resilience required during difficult times, and the balance between being a leader and a family man. Additionally, he shares his personal connection to Holocaust education and the impact it has had on his purpose and values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Despite having a demanding job, Paul recognises the importance of maintaining a balance between work and family. He prioritises spending quality time with his wife and children and values his role as a husband and father.
• Resilience comes from doing your best and focusing on continuous improvement, rather than dwelling on disappointments or results.
• Paul's purpose is to make a positive impact on people's lives, both personally and professionally. He strives to create successful businesses, provide opportunities for others, and contribute to his community.
• Paul's upbringing and his uncle's Holocaust survival story have shaped his values and perspective on life. These experiences have instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility to educate others, combat hate, and make a difference in the world.

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."

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 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."

Travel, Bold, Brilliant, business, growth, scale, marketing, investment, investing, entrepreneurship, coach, consultant, mindset, six figures, seven figures, travel, industry, ROI, B2B, inspirational: https://linktr.ee/JLinfoot

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."

Jeannette interviews Sarah Jones, the director of the Prince's Trust in Wales, serving as an introduction to the Prince's Trust and focussing on how they support young entrepreneurs. Sarah explains that the Prince's Trust is a youth charity founded in 1976 by King Charles III to help young people gain skills and find employment, and offering support in education, employment, and enterprise, with a particular emphasis on helping young people start their own businesses. The episode also highlights the experiences of two entrepreneurs who have benefited from the Prince's Trust.

"We offer things called Will It Work grants, which are small amounts of money where a young person might have a couple of business ideas or a business idea where they think, I don't know whether this would work."

"And it's so important to give back I think you know and I'm finding this when you get to a certain stage of your life… that's for sure."

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.

According to The Prince’s Trust annual Youth Index report (2022)

• 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

The Prince’s Trust Response

Today, The Prince’s Trust is one of the UK’s leading youth charities, founded by King Charles in 1976.

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.

Our plans in Wales will directly help to alleviate the issues this generation are experiencing. The rising cost-of-living is having a significant impact on unemployed young people supported by The Prince’s Trust.

Hi! I'm Nick.

Over the past decade, I’ve founded, grown and sold multiple companies.

From the boardroom tables of ‘big’ international businesses to the dining room tables of entrepreneurial start-ups, how to overcome challenges, embrace opportunities and take risks, whilst staying ‘true’ to yourself is the order of the day.

Travel, Bold, Brilliant, business, growth, scale, marketing, investment, investing, entrepreneurship, coach, consultant, mindset, six figures, seven figures, travel, industry, ROI, B2B, inspirational: https://linktr.ee/JLinfoot

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."

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’

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 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."

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 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

• 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.
• Even for internal promotions, having a well-crafted CV is important to demonstrate your accomplishments and readiness for the next step.
• Being visible and known for your expertise can increase your chances of being considered for promotions.
• 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 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

• 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."

"It's not just about money. There's other ways to recognize people and reward performance."

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'

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.

• By taking a more diverse approach, we not only make ourselves more attractive to clients, but simply put, we do better business.

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'

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.

No one is more well-versed in what it takes to be the man at the helm of some of the biggest and most powerful businesses out there, and in this incredible episode, he discusses his astounding career, as well as the recent battles that have shown him what it truly means to be bold and brave.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Being bold and brave doesn't just extend to business. As a cancer-fighter, Robert knows that being bold and brave reaches far outside of just work, and into every corner of life.

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.

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.
