In the previous episode of the podcast Jeannette talked about being a successful woman in business and today she is joined by one of aviation’s leading businesswomen, Chris Browne OBE, former Chief Operating Officer of Easyjet and Chief Operating Officer of TUI Airlines.. Chris was awarded an OBE for her services to aviation in 2013. Together they discuss the importance of strong female role models in young girls’ lives to allow them to reach their full potential, leadership skills and how growing up through the troubles in Northern Ireland shaped Chris to become the woman she is today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Once you have been through huge challenges and faced difficult decision making in your career, you certainly know how to tackle those problems again - you don’t hesitate twice and you know the levers that you have to pull.

Automatically for women, so many career paths are just closed off because women themselves are not even considering following these routes. It is important that kids, particularly young girls have strong role models, and we are able to open kids' eyes to what’s out there and that they can do anything they want. This is especially true for children from underprivileged backgrounds that may not have the same opportunities as others.

Any strong leader worth their salt will know when you have to dive into the detail and when you have to step back. You need to learn not to be afraid to hire people that are better than yourself. It’s also key to have the good grace to let them get on with their job, not interfere and know when it is necessary to step in.

It is always appreciated when you are able to work for companies where you are able to be yourself. It is really important to be authentic and not forget your roots and where you came from. Leadership is about looking behind and who is following you instead of looking above.

It is important to ignore the self-doubt that you may have, you may look back on your time and regret how much you listened to it. Get on with the opportunity you have been given and trust in yourself.

If there's one thing that tough circumstances can teach you it is to never give up, always fight for what is right. That has to be a rule in life itself and it is a tremendous feeling of what you should and shouldn’t do and having that element of moral justice. Because, when you do experience tough circumstances first hand it leaves a lasting impression on you.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“The very first thing I remember being said to me as I walked into the reception at 8 o’clock on a Monday morning, quite nervous and a guy said to the receptionist ‘oh my word have you heard, they’re sending a woman to run the airline, what will they think of next.”

“Deep down inside I was terrified. I thought, is this me? Am I finished career-wise?”

“Don’t tell me I can't do something because that really riles me, and I’ll just do the opposite and try and prove you wrong.”

Diversity in the workplace offers many benefits, from creative problem solving to representing the general population. Today Jeannette discusses her top 10 tips for women to gain equality in business. Today's episode highlights the importance of women mastering their mindset and self-belief. Jeannette discusses how this can allow you to create new opportunities for yourself, how to create your personal brand and why a linear career path may not always be the most practical route to reach your career goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of the most critical areas for women in business is mastering their mindset and self-belief, as women we often lack this in comparison to male colleagues. When you are in the right mindset you are mentally ready to take on those opportunities when they come up as well as creating new opportunities for yourself.
• It is important to be realistic about what balance really is and being fully present in the moment. To give everything the best you possibly can, but also stop beating yourself up for the time when you are in your other space.
• Having confidence isn’t about being arrogant but about being comfortable in your own shoes, being able to go for it even if you don’t feel like it. If you work hard at your confidence over time, it will become easier and become a natural learned skill.
• Whether we like it or not, we are all being judged by others. Have a think about how you want to come across, what your values are, and how you want to present yourself. This is not about being disingenuous about who you are, but your personal brand stands for who you are and how you present yourself is a reflection of that.
• If you are ambitious and would like to work your way up the ladder or start your own business, there is usually more than one route to get there, it is worth thinking creatively about the different options that you have in particular. As a woman it might be that you need to be creative about how you reach your end goal, be clear on what you want but at the same time it does not have to be a linear career path.
• In life we are going to get knock backs, not everything goes our way. If you are able to grow a bit of a thicker skin and be resilient through the knock backs and be able to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, this will help you in the long run.

 

BEST MOMENTS  

“Globally, women earn just 63% of a man's wage, even women doing the same job as a man get just 77% of what men earn, and that just feels inherently wrong in today's society.”

“If you’re struggling with your self-belief it is helpful to see other role models that have actually done what you’re trying to achieve and that can massively help.”

“Having a few ‘go to’ people that you can get some support, encouragement and opinions can absolutely help massively. If you can get mentors or coaches that again can really transform the situation for yourself.”

Join Jeannette today and discover how you can scope out your vision and action plan using her simple 6 step model. Jeannette outlines the importance of having a clear purpose and vision so you know where your life is heading, highlighting your core values and where they come from as well as learning how you create smart objectives and how to measure the success of them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is important to have a clear purpose and vision. If you know where you’re heading then it is much easier to get there more efficiently. If you do not know what you want then you can just wander around directionless. Having a clear vision allows you to focus on the things that are really important to you.
• The first part of the model is the visioning piece, this is where you can do your big thinking and try to test yourself and be honest with yourself. Ask yourself big questions such as ‘what is your reason why?’, What do you want from life?’,  ‘What kind of person do you want to become?’  and ‘What sort of legacy do you want to leave behind?’.
• Your values are the core ways that you live your life, and they outline what is important to you. What are your core values? Why are they important to you? And where do they come from? Values in life can come from childhood, family and friends, these values will direct the way that you want to live your life.
• You may have some overriding objectives, or you may have some specific objectives for each of your focus areas, whatever works for you is fine. What you need to ensure is making sure your objectives are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound).
• KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) allow you to start putting some metrics in terms of each of your objectives. These indicators can be anything from profits to weekly new leads and even personal goals such as weight loss. These really help to measure whether or not we have been successful.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“It is great having a vision, but at the same time you need to be able to take action and take practical steps to make it a reality.”

“If you know what you want and what you can achieve in life, you can really bring those people you are about on the same journey as yourself.”

“The people you spend time with can sometimes be a blocker. If you want to focus on something and fulfil your purpose, make sure you’re spending time with people that are going to encourage support and lift you up.”

Many people dream about leaving their corporate 9-5 jobs and following their dreams of creating their own business empire, but just don’t know where to start. If you’re one of those people then don’t miss today's episode as Jeannette talks us through transitioning from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world by ensuring you’re in the right mindset, the importance of creating implementation plans and why investing in yourself by using mentorships will allow you to maximise your true potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you have those feelings deep down inside that there is more to life, and you want to do something different, take the advice given and absolutely follow your dreams and pursue your passion. Take stock, assess what is important in your life and come to the conclusion of what you want from your career.
• Ask yourself some quite big questions such as: ‘What kind of person do I want to be?’ ‘What legacy do I want to leave behind?’ ‘What are the dreams I have that I have not fulfilled?’. Don’t think small, have a big vision, fulfil your dreams, reach your potential and have no regrets.
• With the right mindset, you can achieve absolutely anything in life. However, if you have been in a certain sector or career, a big change can sometimes feel quite daunting and you may have doubts about yourself. Timing is key, because if your mind isn’t set for this big change then the chances are you are just going to procrastinate and not take action.
• Create an implementation plan. Starting by working backwards and by breaking it down into small individual actions that you are able to take actions on every single day. Allocate resources from your own experience and time or by lining up the correct resources that will enable you to move over into your new venture.
• The best investment you can ever make is in yourself. If you are moving into a new business venture, you may have some knowledge gaps. You can fill in those gaps in numerous ways such as books, formal education, mentorships and coaches.
• You have to take action. It is critical to compartmentalise your diary so that you can take action in the right areas. Once you take the first few steps and you are moving along your set plan, all of a sudden you will gather momentum and you will realise that you have actually done quite a lot, but you just have to start. It is about creating a new structure and new routines to live by.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“I just thought there was more to me, and the best of me was yet to come.”

“Aim for the moon and you will land amongst the stars.”

“If you can find people that have trodden the road before you then that is a great way of learning from people that that have  been there before.”

“You need to get to the point where your ‘shoulds’ become musts’ because then you will take action.”

If you’re just starting out in a new career or wondering how to ensure you have a successful one, then join Jeannette today as she discusses her top 7 tips to ensure you have a successful career. Today, she looks at why it is important to have self-belief and understand that you deserve every opportunity you have been given, how loving what you do will make it feel as if you’re not even working, and how failing is not really a failure at all, it is just a learning process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Believe in yourself. Very often, the imposter syndrome can kick in where perhaps you don’t feel good enough or feel you don’t deserve a seat at the table, which is all nonsense, because you absolutely do deserve every opportunity that life throws at you.
• Be really clear on your vision and your purpose for what you want to achieve. If you know where you’re heading, it is much easier to get there, you will get there faster and with a lot less heartache along the way.
• Work hard, and work smart. You have to put the effort in, you have to take action, nothing happens for nothing. Having a strong work ethic is important but working smart is even more important. If you don't take action, nothing will happen, things don’t happen miraculously.
• Surround yourself with the right people – people who will lift you up, support you, give you encouragement and advice but will also call you out if you’re kidding yourself or not doing enough. Whatever you do don’t let the naysayers put you off.
• Put yourself out there – build relationships, be yourself, be kind to others, don’t think about what’s in it for you, always try to do good by the other person. Treat other people as you’d like to be treated yourself.
• If you love what you do, you won’t feel like you’re working. The ability to be able to merge your passion with your profession is great. Try to ensure that you follow a passion and if you can do that then truly, you don’t feel like work is an arduous thing at all.
• Don’t be afraid to fail. You can't always win, but don’t be afraid to fail. Fear or failure, judgment and losing will really stop you. If you are always worried about what you are going to lose and not focusing on what we could gain, then sometimes we will never even try. Failure isn’t really a failure at all, it is all learning.
  
  

BEST MOMENTS

“Very often we don’t just pause for breath and think about the lessons we’re learning along the way and how we can be an even better version of ourselves if we actually did take stock a little bit more.”

“So often I will hear people say ‘I should have, I would have, I could have’ but they didn’t.”

“I’m a massive believer in the law of reciprocity, what goes around, comes around. I believe that if you’re kind to people and  treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself then absolutely that will come back to you tenfold.”

“Very often we don’t just pause for breath and think about the lessons we’re learning along the way and how we can be an even better version of ourselves if we actually did take stock a little bit more.”

“So often I will hear people say ‘I should have, I would have, I could have’ but they didn’t.”

“I’m a massive believer in the law of reciprocity, what goes around, comes around. I believe that if you’re kind to people and  treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself then absolutely that will come back to you tenfold.”

In the exclusive first episode of The Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast, former corporate CEO turned entrepreneur Jeannette Linfoot takes you through her journey on how she worked hard from the bottom up to reach CEO of large businesses in the corporate world and to now becoming the owner of multiple successful businesses. Join Jeannette as she talks you through her upbringing in Manchester, surrounded by people who instilled her with a hard work ethic and a belief that anything is possible, enabling  her to become the first person in her family to go to university. Also learn how she found the perfect working environments enabling her to flourish in her career. She also talks about how working internationally, in culturally diverse environments, taught her how to navigate her way through different business and personal relationships.

Jeannette’s nearly 30 years in business all comes together with the launch of the Brave, Bold, Brilliant podcast. Jeannette is a passionate believer that we all have greatness within us and that we can achieve anything in life, as long as we are brave, bold and brilliant. Grabbing opportunities, dealing with challenges and taking risks but being the ‘true’ you are core to Jeannette’s values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is a good skill to learn the value of working hard, and that people don’t just give you anything for nothing in this life. Learning this will stay with you throughout your time and your career. Being brought up by parents who instill a hard work ethic into you will help you in life and allow you to take ownership and responsibility.
• Finding the right culture and environment where you can really flourish, be challenged but accepted for who you are is critical to success. If anybody is thinking about where they are right now, if it doesn’t feel right or you don’t share the same values as those around you then think about whether that is what you want and where you want to be now and in the future.
• You may come across situations in your life where you feel very uncomfortable and out of your comfort zone.Think to yourself ‘I’ll give it a go, how bad can it be?’. Don’t be afraid to fail. You can’t always win but don’t be afraid to fail. Just put yourself out there and then great things can happen.
• Working in a culturally diverse environment will teach you how to navigate your way through different relationships in a sensitive and respectful way and how to adapt your style accordingly in order to get the right results.
• It is important to have clarity and purpose and knowing what you want to achieve in life, because once you know that you can take steps to achieve your potential. Many people never fulfil their dreams, we don’t want to be one of those people, we want to push on and achieve everything we can in life.
• When you’re making a big change in your career, it is always worth considering: ‘where are your strengths?’ ‘where have you already got experience, that you’re confident in?’ and therefore when you do start out on a new venture, it is not so scary because you’re pulling on all of that experience and hard-earned knowledge.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“Exploring how by being brave, bold and brilliant we can really do fabulous things in our careers, in our business lives and in our personal lives.”

“You need to be able to do what you need to do to survive”

“Being culturally aware, taught me a lot. Not only how to do business in different business environments with different cultural dimensions, but it taught me a lesson in life..”

“It was time for me to be more entrepreneurial, it was time for me to have my own businesses, to invest my own money and to have the variety of a portfolio rather than being a CEO of a large corporate business.”
