Clear communication. Transparency. Collaboration. Permission to fail. As we learn on this episode of Leaders With Ambition, these cornerstones for a healthy workplace culture were knit into Opus Business Advisory Group from its inception.Managing Partner Jo Rolls shares with us career highlights along the way to co-founding a firm that is setting an industry standard for business insolvency and restructuring. Opus has developed a unique formula over more than a decade – one that translates today into 14 offices across the UK advising a broad range of clients on how to turn financial stress towards the best possible outcomes.Host Nicky Acuna Ocana invites Jo to reflect on how she has managed a pioneering career while raising a family and why creating – and sustaining – a strong network is key, both personally and professionally. You’ll find out about current professional challenges, the importance of lifelong curiosity and one of the hardest – but best – things an effective manager can do.(Hint: Leadership is about hiring the right people – and then letting them demonstrate their competencies!) Says our guest, above all else, be brave: “Everything we do is a learning experience, which is fantastic. It leads us to grow, change, pivot, do what we need to do.”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jo Rawls and Her Journey01:47 Career Path: From Fashion to Finance06:31 Balancing Work and Family Life10:10 The Importance of Networking11:21 Opus Business Advisory Group: Mission and Values14:26 Learning from Mistakes16:00 Building a Strong Company Culture18:59 The Challenges of Starting Opus22:47 Expanding Horizons: Work in Qatar24:51 Succession Planning and Future Growth26:52 Networking Strategies for Success29:45 The Power of Networking and Connections32:53 The Importance of Allyship in Career Growth36:09 Navigating Career Paths and Opportunities41:00 Challenges in the Professional Landscape47:58 The Role of AI in the Future of Work
