E87: Jeannette Linfoot
From the travel/leisure sector to property investing to entrepreneurship, our guest Jeannette Linfoot has invaluable things to share. Jeannette proves to be a one-of-a-kind resource person as well as an incredibly successful woman in business to look up to. Listen to her career and businesses in detail, as well as intriguing personal stories on this episode of Fire in The Belly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Jeannette wants to help all women excel in business. She has vast business experience including being the CEO in a large travel company. She has experienced (almost) everything in the corporate playbook and is fully aware many things need to be changed within the system. Also, there are things that we also need to learn so we can advance in our journey confidently.
- She adds that there are more women in the property world since it’s more flexible (because of parenthood, homemaking, etc.) compared to the corporate world.
- In the travel industry, there tends to be more female (around 65%) because of their traditional preference that cabin crews, travel agents, etc. be women. But when we take a look at their middle and senior management, the number of women in position is still noticeably low. Men still dominate the management positions.
- A business should have a strategic agenda to ensure business growth and also maintain a healthy organisational structure. If one intentionally aims for a diverse board of management and/or thoroughly built a pipeline, policies, and plans, then there’s nowhere to go but up.
- An indestructible mindset is the real deal. Work on yourself inside out so you can get the results you’re aiming for. According to Jeannette, our values and beliefs are entrenched to our behaviours and attitude around everything, including wealth. So, if you already believe that you’re meant for it, then you are.
- Jeannette is a mentor as well as a mentee. It has made a massive difference in her life to have someone guide her in decision making, so she wants to do the same for others. She shares that there’s so much fulfilment in seeing someone flourish and see their optimum potential.
BEST MOMENTS
- “We bring different things to the party and is absolutely no reason whether you're female, gay, straight, black, white, that you shouldn't be able to be in a very senior role in any organisation.”
- “And so, I think the mindset is at the heart of absolutely everything. It's everything in life, not just in business, career, relationships.”
- “It can blow you off track… I think if you're overly concerned about where everyone else is thinking about you and your ego. What really matters is what's inside and what of you people that are close to you, your loved ones, think.”
- “It’s much more agile learning from someone’s [a mentor’s] life and their business experience. They may have tried a similar path to yours”
