🌟 Her epic adventure climbing to Everest base camp with her husband and daughte - a real adventure that she won't forget!

My human conversation in this episode is with a very experienced leadership expert - Lindsey Marriott. I've had the pleasure of working with her for the last year and we have a wonderful conversation about leadership.

What I loved was how we explored the topic of leadership when you are a solo entrepreneur. How you lead yourself and what does this look like.

So whether you are a leader in an established business, leading your own team, or you are running your own business leading yourself, I hope you will find some real inspiration in this brilliant conversation.

Delighted to have Toby Moore back on the podcast - his previous episode was HC048 - so check that out!

Apart from being a lovely friend to me, Toby is a creative, a parent and a writer. He's the curator and director of TEDxBrighton, the author of 'MAKE IT - How to Work with Clarity, Confidence and Creativity' and a supporter of various youth charities and projects.

Toby's work is centred around one simple question

"How can we experience more creative freedom in our lives?".

Today we talked about lots of food for thought, including…

Some of the above!

🌟 Board games for 2 people

🌟 The mindset of creative freedom

🌟 TEDx and how it has changed over the years

🌟 TEDx and what it has taught him

🌟 How he has himself evolved through what he has learnt from the youth projects, charity work and the people who have stood on that red circle!

🌟 The answer to completing our power puzzle!

As ever it was just a wonderful human conversation.

I hope you find it inspiring, and that in some small way it changes how you think!

Then it will have been time well spent. 🙏🏻

Kettle on, Enjoy!

In this solo sessions podcast I talk about the evolution of business and actually how change can be good.

Addressing the fears and how we actually feel about change is one of the first steps to being able to grow and make changes in your business and indeed in life.

I cover the key elements to think about when we look at evolving our business and how to break it down and make it feel easier - making us excited about the change rather than fearful of it.

Kettle on and enjoy!

The first of my solo sessions and I'm exploring 'comparisonitus'!

It's crippling, will block you, will challenge your inner confidence, and really doesn't serve you!

So why do we do it and how can we ensure we don't let it do all of the above to us?!

This podcast is my food for thought and I hope you enjoy.

Kettle on!
