KEY TAKEAWAYS

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

BEST MOMENTS

'That background really shaped my life'

'I grew as the industry grew'

'How do we really make a positive contribution'

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

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.

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

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'

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'

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.

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

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

BEST MOMENTS

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

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

'Within that overall strategic plan there are subsections'

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

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS

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

BEST MOMENTS

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

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

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

'Make sure the change is worthwhile'

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.
