Tea with the Queen

It’s true that the most important asset in any business is its people. And, so, you want to make sure that you get your people stuff right. One of the biggest people issues is a lack of alignment, according to Emma’s guest today, Julia O’Reilly, Director of People & Growth Consulting. She says there could be misalignment between two people or between managers and staff. Whatever it is, she says, you need to sort out those differences so that your business can thrive. It’s more important than ever, because the world is changing more than ever.

No one sets out to be rejected. Or do they? Emma McQueen has a strategy that does just that. Selling is a numbers game. If you know that a successful sale includes a number of rejections, then the more rejections will ultimately lead to more sales. It’s simple maths, and it eliminates the emotion we attach to rejection. Emma outlines how this strategy takes the ickiness out of sales.

Most of us in business want to grow. The question is by how much? What’s the yard-stick? How do you measure growth and what should you aim at? Those are the questions lawyer Tracey Mylecharane asks Emma McQueen in this episode of Queen’s Counsel. And, there’s lot of conjecture about scaling up – what does that mean exactly and is that something you should aim for?

Anyone in business knows that growth is not linear. Sales don’t stick to an incremental path, and the activities you do to generate growth, likewise, aren’t the same. It’s hard sometimes to hustle for sales, while you're also trying deliver on orders or service from previous sales. In this episode of Queen’s Counsel, Emma McQueen and Tracey Mylecharane recognise the importance of implementing processes to smooth the roller coaster ride of business life and to help you feel less overwhelmed.
