Jeannette is joined by Steve Ingham, CBE, a former CEO of Page Group, who shares his remarkable journey from leading a global recruitment business to navigating life after a life-changing ski accident in 2019 that left him paralysed.
Steve reflects on his impressive 37-year career, highlighting his achievements in transforming Page Group into a market leader with over 9,200 employees and significant revenue growth. He discusses the importance of resilience, the lessons learned from adversity, and the role of leadership in fostering a supportive company culture. Additionally, Steve delves into his current work with various charities focused on disability, emphasising the need for inclusivity and equity in the workplace.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey from a successful CEO to living with a disability highlights the importance of resilience. Embracing challenges and maintaining a positive outlook can help individuals navigate significant life changes.
In times of crisis or personal struggle, it's crucial to keep a broader perspective. Reflecting on loved ones, future goals, and positive experiences can provide motivation and strength to overcome immediate difficulties.
Building a strong, inclusive company culture is essential for retaining talent. A supportive environment where employees feel valued and engaged can lead to lower attrition rates and higher overall performance.
Successful leadership requires a commitment to long-term goals rather than short-term gains. Investing in infrastructure and people, even at the cost of immediate profits, can yield significant returns in the long run
BEST MOMENTS
"I guess it was the growth because I joined when it was 200 people. And I left when it was 9,200 people."
"I knew I was going to be in a wheelchair. And I told them my story and I told them about how my kids had found out."
"If you focus in on just that moment in time, things can look very, very dark indeed."
"You have to create a culture that people didn't want to leave."

ABOUT THE GUEST
Steve Ingham was, until December 2022, the CEO of PageGroup, the FTSE 200 international recruitment business.
Following a four-year spell with Johnson Matthey, the precious metals business, he joined Page in 1987. The business was predominantly a London-based finance recruiter of c200 people known as Michael Page. He joined to help with the diversification of the business into new disciplines and new geographies. He was appointed to the plc Board following their successful IPO in 2001 and was appointed CEO in 2006. As CEO he expanded the company's operations from 18 countries to 37, quadrupled gross and operating profit (to over £1billion and £200m). The business now employs over 9,000 people and is market leader in many of the markets it operates, such as most of Europe (including France), China, SE Asia, and Latin America.
In March 2019 Steve had a near fatal skiing accident and is a now permanently in a wheelchair. He returned to work within three months of intensive rehabilitation. Whilst prior to his accident he was a big advocate and driving force for improving EDI in Page, his accident gave him new motivation to do more.
Following 3 out of 4 record years (2019-2022) and achieving the company Vision, he chose, after 17 years as CEO, to retire from Executive responsibilities. He now hopes to focus on improving attitudes towards disability in the workplace and to shine a light on hidden talent pools. He is on the Board of three charities: The Back Up Trust, Whizz Kidz and Wings for Life.
In June 2022 he was awarded a CBE on the Queen’s Birthday Awards, for achievements in business and for people with disabilities. As part of his belief that business and sport can make a huge difference in disabled peoples’ lives, as well as the economy, he joined the board of ParalympicGB and also was appointed Chair of the Business Disability Forum, that represents over 25% of the UK workforce.

Jeannette is joined by Anna Nash, the president of Explora Journeys, who shares her insights on the luxury travel industry and her journey in leadership. Anna discusses her definition of luxury, emphasising the importance of time and personalised service, and reflects on her transition from a corporate environment to a family-owned business.
She highlights the unique offerings of Explora Journeys, including its focus on exceptional dining experiences and spacious accommodations, the challenges of recruiting talent in the luxury segment, the significance of team culture, and the importance of communication in leadership.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Luxury is defined as having time and receiving exceptional, personalised service that anticipates every need. It is viewed as an overused term, but for the speaker, it centres around the experience of time and service.
Working in a family-owned business like Explora Journeys allows for a more entrepreneurial environment, enabling quicker decision-making and a strong connection to family values, which fosters a passionate and authentic desire to succeed.
Finding the right talent in the luxury segment is crucial, with a focus on soft skills such as a can-do attitude and a guest-centric approach.
The importance of listening to customer feedback is vital, with a commitment to responding to every guest's communication. This approach not only helps in recovering from any issues but also strengthens customer loyalty.
BEST MOMENTS
"For me, luxury is time. I think having time to switch off, having time to really be pampered, having time to explore locations at great depth, but also great service, very personal service."
"I'm looking for somebody that I know will click with the environment in which we operate, has a passion to succeed, and is all about the attention to detail and a guest-centric approach."
"I think there's a bit of a re-marketing job, almost a rebranding of the sector to attract people back that may have left for alternative options."
"It's about having the right team behind you. I'm always a champion of my team and making sure you have the tools and the motivation in order to succeed."

Jeannette is joined by Alexandra Haider, Senior Content Editor at Pion and Trends and Insights Specialist, who delves into the complexities of engaging with Generation Z.
Drawing from her expertise, Alexandra discusses the defining characteristics of Gen Z, their unique values shaped by recent global events like the pandemic, and the influence of technology and social media on their behaviours, exploring how brands can effectively connect with this generation by embracing authenticity, flexibility, and purpose-driven initiatives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Generation Z, born between 1998 and 2004, is a diverse cohort with varying experiences and characteristics. They are the first digitally native generation, having grown up with technology and social media, which significantly influences their behaviors and values. The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected Gen Z, leading to a shift in their expectations regarding work flexibility and remote working. Many Gen Z individuals prefer not to return to traditional office environments, valuing the ability to work from anywhere. Gen Z is increasingly focused on sustainability and ethical practices. While a significant majority express a desire to support brands with strong sustainability credentials, economic factors often lead them to choose more affordable options, highlighting a paradox in their consumer behaviour. Social media serves as both a tool for connection and a source of pressure for young people. The rise of platforms like TikTok has changed how Gen Z consumes content, favouring short, engaging formats. However, it also contributes to issues like body image concerns and mental health challenges.BEST MOMENTS
"Gen Z are defined by they are born between the ages of 1998 and 2004... it's a very wide spanning generation."
"The pandemic really changed everything for Gen Z... they missed out on things like their graduations, birthday parties, spending time with their loved ones."
"Young people aren't lazy. They just have a different way of doing things."
"If you can work with a creator that has that community, that really trusts their recommendations, you've got a golden ticket."
"Culture really starts by believing in your people... they are a lot less receptive to toxic work environments."

Jeannette discusses the crucial transition from being a business operator to becoming a true business owner, outlining the mindset shifts necessary for this transformation, and emphasising the importance of letting go of control and empowering teams. She covers key steps to facilitate this change, including defining a compelling vision, establishing systems and processes that allow the business to run independently, and building a high-performing team
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Transitioning from being a business operator to a business owner requires a significant mindset change. It's essential to recognise the need to let go of control and embrace the idea of empowering your team to manage day-to-day operations.
Clearly articulate your reasons for wanting to step back from daily operations. A compelling vision—whether it's for more free time, pursuing new business interests, or addressing personal health—will motivate you to take the necessary actions.
To ensure your business can run without you, implement robust systems and processes. This includes automation, efficient workflows, and performance tracking through KPIs, which will provide the confidence needed to step away.
Develop a capable team and identify a successor to take over your role. Effective delegation and a well-structured organisation are crucial for a smooth transition and to ensure the business continues to thrive in your absence.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you are in the day-to-day running your business, then you are an operator and not an owner."
"You need to be like a helicopter in business... hovering above the horizon, looking out, setting the strategy."
"Stop being a control freak. You are never going to be able to set yourself free from the day-to-day operations of the business."
"You need to set your business up so that it runs without you in it."

Jeannette is joined by Eleanor Mills, bestselling Harper Collins author of 'Much More to Come' and founder of Noon, a community dedicated to empowering women in midlife. Eleanor shares her personal journey of transformation after leaving her long-standing role at The Sunday Times, discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife.
The discussion also delves into the concept of midlife as a chrysalis rather than a crisis, emphasising the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the power of community.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The concept of midlife should be viewed not as a crisis but as a transformative period, where individuals can shed old identities and emerge as their true selves, embracing new opportunities and possibilities. Building a supportive community, like the Noon Circle, is essential for women navigating midlife transitions. Sharing experiences and stories in a safe space fosters connection and encourages personal growth. Taking the first step to engage with new experiences, whether through retreats or community gatherings, can be daunting but is crucial for rebuilding confidence and discovering one's voice. Acknowledging that you are enough as you are, without the need for external validation or societal standards, is a powerful step towards self-empowerment and authenticity.BEST MOMENTS
"What we see with the women in the community is this sense of a huge shift into purpose... you really haven't got so much time to kind of waste or to kind of mess around with."
"I think that when we really speak up and we say what we really mean and we're not afraid, that is what can change the world."
"I think that there's also a massive opportunity, a kind of liberation to step into one's power and into a new and different version of oneself."

Jeannette discusses the importance of achieving financial freedom through the establishment of multiple streams of income. Drawing from her extensive experience as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur, she emphasises the need to diversify income sources to mitigate financial risks and adapt to changing circumstances.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Having multiple streams of income is crucial for financial freedom and risk diversification. Relying on a single source of income can be risky, as it leaves you vulnerable to financial instability. Before diversifying your income, it's essential to understand your current financial situation, including income, expenses, and savings. This assessment will help you identify areas for improvement and potential new income streams. Define your short-term, mid-term, and long-term financial goals. Knowing where you want to be financially will guide your decisions on which income streams to pursue. Begin with one main source of income and gradually explore additional opportunities. This could involve side hustles, investments, or expanding your current business offerings.BEST MOMENTS
"I am all about helping other people fulfill their dreams, live their best life, do what they really want to do."
"When we rely on one sole source of income, there's a potential risk there. You have all your eggs in one basket."
"Having multiple streams of income will protect your future, it will give you more choices."
"Don't do what I did where I was so focused on the job that I didn't pay as much attention as I should have to alternative options."

Jeannette is joined by the marvellous Carlos Bras, the CEO and co-founder of On Travel Solutions, as they discuss his unexpected journey into the travel industry. Carlos shares his early entrepreneurial experiences, including running a family grocery store at a young age and his transition from academia to hospitality. He reflects on the evolution of his business since its inception in 2009, navigating challenges such as the impact of COVID-19 and the importance of building strong relationships in the industry.
The conversation also delves into the significance of intuition in identifying opportunities, the value of teamwork, and the lessons learned from both successes and setbacks
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey into entrepreneurship often involves seizing unexpected opportunities. It's important to trust your instincts and assess whether an opportunity aligns with your passions and values.
Building strong relationships is crucial in the travel and hospitality industry. Trust and communication with clients, suppliers, and team members can significantly impact business success.
The travel industry is constantly evolving due to technological advancements and changing customer needs. Being adaptable and responsive to these changes is essential for long-term success.
Surrounding yourself with a supportive team can alleviate the loneliness often felt by entrepreneurs. Sharing responsibilities and discussing challenges with trusted colleagues or friends can provide valuable perspectives and reduce stress.
BEST MOMENTS
"The tourism was really an accident, it was not something that I could predict. It was something that came to me, like the majority of the things in my life. Not planned, not programmed."
"It's not easy being a business owner. You're taking risks. You're investing your own money. It feels totally different."
"I think I started to learn with time how to identify things. But basically, it doesn't come from the brain. It comes from the stomach."
"The most important asset on a DMC, on incoming service, is the team. We need really to build up a good team, to back them up, to help them."

Jeannette tackles common myths surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the business landscape. She emphasises that while AI will change the nature of work, it will not replace all jobs; instead, it will create new roles and enhance human capabilities. Jeannette also debunks ten prevalent misconceptions about AI, such as its infallibility and the belief that it is only for large companies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
While AI will change the nature of work, it will not eliminate all jobs. Instead, it will create new roles and foster a hybrid work environment where humans and AI collaborate.
AI's Accuracy Depends on Data: AI is only as accurate as the data it processes. It is essential for humans to oversee and input data to ensure AI's effectiveness.
Although AI can analyse data and generate ideas, it does not possess emotions or the ability to think creatively like humans.
AI is not just for large corporations; small and medium-sized businesses can also benefit significantly from AI tools to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.
BEST MOMENTS
"AI is going to replace all jobs... the truth is that with the use of technology, actually, the world of work will change."
"AI is only as accurate as the data that has been put into it. It is not going to be 100% accurate."
"AI can analyse data fantastically well, but it lacks emotion. So it will never be able to have human-like intelligence exactly."
"AI is perfect for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large organisations."

Jeannette is joined by the remarkable Rick Jordan, a pioneering entrepreneur and cybersecurity expert. Rick shares his journey of founding ReachOut Technology and taking it public, detailing the challenges and resilience required throughout the process.
He discusses the significance of cybersecurity for businesses of all sizes and emphasises the importance of bridging the gap between enterprise-level protection and small business needs. The episode also touches on Rick's experience advising the White House on innovative technology to combat human trafficking, highlighting the intersection of technology and human issues
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey of taking a business public is often grueling and emotionally taxing, requiring significant resilience and adaptability. Plans may change, but a clear purpose can guide entrepreneurs through challenges. There is a significant gap in cybersecurity services between large enterprises and small businesses. The goal is to make cybersecurity accessible and affordable for all businesses, ensuring that even small companies can protect themselves against cyber threats. Establishing a strong presence on social media and in the media requires both genuine engagement and strategic investments. Sponsorships, collaborations, and paid exposure can significantly enhance visibility and credibility. Failure or setbacks, such as not securing a deal with the government, can provide valuable lessons and open new doors. Embracing these experiences as learning opportunities is crucial for personal and professional growth.BEST MOMENTS
"If you're not keeping track of how you're doing, there's no way to potentially win."
"Going through it is gruelling. It is very emotionally taxing. It is very much a test of your own resilience."
"It's not a matter of if, it's when... there's no completely secure way of protecting something 100%."
"I want to help. I see people who are... probably because of some decisions that they made."

Jeannette shares valuable insights on creating a positive environment for teams to flourish and thrive. She outlines five key areas essential for fostering a productive workplace culture, including establishing a clear purpose and strategy, defining core values and behaviours, optimising the physical work environment, ensuring the right people are in the right roles, and reflecting on one's leadership style.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Establish a crystal clear purpose and strategy for your business. This clarity helps the entire team feel inspired and aligned, making it easier to work towards common goals. Define and communicate the core values and behaviours that shape your business culture. Engage your team in discussions about these values to ensure everyone is on the same page and can embody them in their work. Assess and improve the physical workspace to create a welcoming and conducive environment for creativity and productivity. Consider aspects like breakout areas, wellness facilities, and overall aesthetics to enhance employee morale. Ensure that you have the right people on your team who share the organisation's vision and values. Focus on recruitment, development, and creating a supportive team environment where everyone can thrive.BEST MOMENTS
"If you have an absolute crystal clear purpose and reason for being, then actually that's something that the whole team can get excited about."
"Creating that right culture is very much around the values, the behaviours, and getting that buy-in from everyone on the team."
"We are products of our environment. If the office isn't really very welcoming, you're not providing... wellness aspects, then you're going to struggle to get people back in."
"A winning team has each other's backs. A winning team wins together or not at all."

Jeannette is joined by Ria Jackson, Louisa Clarke, Jennifer Lothian and Charlotte Hayes, who share their unique journeys and the impactful work they are doing to support fellow veterans and promote inclusivity.
Ria discusses her founding of the V Word community for women veterans, emphasising the need for a safe space to share experiences and empower one another. Louisa reflects on her transition from a successful career in the Royal Air Force to becoming a managing director in facilities management, highlighting the importance of self-belief and resilience. Charlotte shares her recent pivot into the nuclear energy sector and her passion for encouraging young girls to pursue careers in STEM through her initiative, STEMinists UK. Jennifer, a finance pioneer, talks about her mission with MyArk to revolutionise financial literacy and empower individuals with the tools to manage their finances effectively
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Women's experiences and perspectives differ from their male counterparts in business. The V Word community was created to provide a safe space for women to share their unique stories and support one another.
We must have self-belief and resilience. Having confidence in one's abilities and recognising transferable skills from military service are crucial for success in the civilian workforce.
There is an ongoing process of transition when going from the service into business, and we must keep one eye on the importance of finding a new identity and purpose in civilian life.
MyArk aims to revolutionise financial management through data consolidation. There is an unfortunate lack of financial literacy among many individuals, particularly in the military, and there is a need for accessible tools to help people make informed financial decisions.
Ria's experiences with ADHD led her to create Inclusive Minds UK. The goal is to promote understanding and support for individuals with neurodifferences, ensuring that organisations embrace diverse brain types and create equitable environments.
BEST MOMENTS
"The V Word for us was a safe space for us to talk and have a place to share our stories, but also to show how incredible we are."
"I think we all have a responsibility to ourselves as well to have faith in ourselves."
"Transition takes a long time, and I'm not transitioned yet. I'm still transitioning."
"Without the right information, it's very hard to make the right decisions."
"We wanted to change that narrative a little bit and come across that way as well."

Jeannette examines the essential elements of a high-performing team, emphasising the critical role team dynamics play in business success. With over 30 years of experience in leading teams across various sectors, she outlines six key characteristics needed for a team to achieve high performance.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A high-performing team is defined by six key characteristics: aligned purpose, accepted leadership, defined roles and responsibilities, effective systems and processes, strong relationships, and streamlined communication.
Having a clear and aligned purpose is crucial for team cohesion and motivation. Understanding why the team exists and how they serve customers can drive engagement and performance.
Clearly defined roles and responsibilities are essential to avoid confusion and ensure that every team member knows their contribution to the team's success. Tools like a RACI matrix can help clarify these roles.
Establishing clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is vital for assessing both individual and team performance. A balanced scorecard approach should include financial, operational, commercial, and non-financial metrics.
BEST MOMENTS
"A winning team wins together or not at all, right? Remember that because otherwise you're just a collection of individuals."
"If you know what you stand for as a business, as a team, you are much more likely to get to where you want to get to."
"You cannot be a high-performing team if there is ambiguity around roles and responsibilities."
"What gets measured gets done. And I believe the KPIs, what are your KPIs?"

With a focus on social mobility and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion, Kate discusses her various roles, including her work as a disability ambassador and menopause champion, reflecting on the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit on the industry, and emphasising the need for effective communication and collaboration with government entities.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The hospitality industry is characterised by its dynamism, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit, allowing businesses to adapt and reinvent themselves in response to challenges, such as those faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sector offers significant opportunities for social mobility, enabling individuals with no prior experience or qualifications to quickly advance to management positions through training and investment in their development. Hospitality encompasses a wide variety of businesses, from independent coffee shops to large hotel chains, making it a vital part of the community and economy, contributing significantly to employment and tax revenue. Effective leadership in the hospitality sector involves actively listening to the concerns of both small and large businesses, understanding their common challenges, and articulating these needs to government and media to advocate for necessary changes.BEST MOMENTS
"The sector is so dynamic, so innovative, that it always works hard. The people within it always look at how can they make the best of a bad situation."
"You can't be what you can't see. If you don't have that, or if you have something that doesn't show where you can go, that's quite difficult."
"I always say I've got the best job in UK PLC because I've got that diversity and breadth."
"I knew I'd got my sector through it. I knew I'd got the people, the teams."
"It's about relationships. It's about trying to see the best in people."

Jeannette explores the transformative power of stepping outside your comfort zone. She emphasises that true growth often comes from embracing discomfort and facing challenges head-on. She shares practical tips for getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, including the importance of having a compelling reason why, visualising success, and taking small, manageable steps.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is essential for personal and professional growth. Stepping out of your comfort zone allows you to unlock your true potential and achieve amazing results. Having a strong reason for your actions can motivate you to push through tough times. Reflect on what drives you, whether it's financial freedom, leaving a legacy, or helping others. Instead of focusing on potential failures, imagine the positive outcomes of your efforts. Ask yourself, "What if I succeed?" This mindset can help you overcome fear and take action. Break down your goals into manageable, bite-sized actions. Starting small can help you build momentum and make progress without feeling overwhelmed.BEST MOMENTS
"Get comfortable being uncomfortable. The reality is, if you are in your comfort zone and you're playing it safe, you may not be fulfilling your true potential."
"If you're the kind of person that can get your head around that and realise that it is uncomfortable situations where we're going to grow, then that is going to really give you the building block."
"What's the worst that can happen? If I mess up or I don't get it right, then so what? I just come back."
"Start now, get perfect later. The power of incremental gains, right? So 1% better every day will mean that by the end of the year you are 37 times better."

Jeannette is joined by Don Welsh, the CEO and President of Destinations International. They explore the evolution of the travel and tourism industry, discussing how Destinations International has expanded from a U.S.-centric organisation to serving over 760 destination organisations in 31 countries.
Don shares insights into the challenges of cultural diversity in global business, the importance of collaboration within the tourism ecosystem, and the pressing issues of over-tourism and sustainability. He also reflects on his own career journey, emphasising the value of authenticity, the importance of aligning personal values with professional opportunities, and the necessity of embracing failure as a part of growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The transition from a U.S.-centric organisation to one that operates in over 31 countries highlights the importance of understanding and adapting to diverse cultural needs and business practices.
Building strong relationships within the industry is crucial. Collaborating with other organisations, such as the World Travel and Tourism Council, enhances the ability to address common challenges and share best practices.
The need for alignment between destination organisations, local communities, and political leaders is essential for sustainable tourism. Engaging stakeholders in discussions about responsible tourism can help mitigate issues like over-tourism.
The journey through various roles in the travel and hospitality industry emphasises the importance of being open to learning and adapting to new challenges, which can lead to personal and professional growth.
BEST MOMENTS
"The complexity of these jobs have never been greater... how you're going to convene a group of people to deal with maybe over tourism or responsible or sustainable tourism."
"I think when you work with different cultures, you have a much higher sense of emotional intelligence because if you want to succeed in different parts of the world, you cannot go in and expect to do business in the way that we do in the U.S."
"We believe in the point of collaboration... at the end of the day, our focus is 100% on how the destination can do the best in serving, whether it's a leisure guest, a meeting attendee, or whatever it may be."
"It's OK to question yourself. It's OK to say, how did I come across in that meeting? How did I deal with a colleague?"
"Let's not reinvent the wheel. Let's learn from each other and grow together."

Jeannette looks at the art of setting achievable goals for 2025. Emphasising the importance of transforming dreams into actionable plans, she covers a structured approach to goal-setting that includes reflecting on one's big picture vision, engaging in self-reflection, and establishing clear, measurable objectives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Focus on establishing specific, actionable goals rather than vague New Year's resolutions. This approach increases the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes. Utilise a yearly goal planner to outline your big picture vision, engage in self-reflection, and set concrete goals and objectives for the year ahead. Self-reflection is crucial for personal growth. Assess your strengths, values, and past performance to inform your future goals and ensure they align with who you are. Consider various aspects of life when setting goals, including personal development, health and fitness, financial objectives, and giving back to the community.BEST MOMENTS
"Dreams, if they're not backed up with goals and super important action, then they are just dreams."
"You cannot drive a car by looking through the rearview mirror. However, we can most definitely learn from our past experiences that will help catapult us forward into the future."
"What are your giving goals? Every single one of us can give... sometimes it doesn't even cost you any money."
"You have to take the action, to take massive action. Even if it's baby steps, that's fine, but take the action."

Jeannette is joined by the one and only Vivienne Artz OBE, the CEO of the FTSE Women Leaders Review, to discuss her remarkable journey in the financial sector and her passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Vivienne shares her experiences, including overcoming impostor syndrome and the challenges she faced in her career, such as navigating a male-dominated environment and the importance of mentorship and sponsorship. She also highlights the significance of data in driving change within organisations and the need for structural adjustments to create equitable opportunities for women in leadership roles.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It's important to be open to opportunities and not wait to be tapped on the shoulder. Taking initiative and applying for roles, even if you feel underqualified, can lead to unexpected successes. Data plays a crucial role in understanding and addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organisations. It can reveal insights about performance and representation that may not be immediately apparent. Challenges and setbacks are common in any career. Learning from difficult experiences and surrounding yourself with a supportive network can help you bounce back and grow stronger. Effective leadership is characterised by inclusivity, where diverse voices are heard and respected. This not only benefits the organisation but also creates a more collaborative and dynamic work environment. It's essential to recognise when to let go of certain roles or projects to make space for new opportunities. Renewing focus and passion for your work can lead to greater fulfilment and success in your career.BEST MOMENTS
"When the door closes, look for all the open windows"
"Imposter syndrome is a reality, but it's one that you can let take hold and define who you are, or you can say, well, you know what, that is."
"What we really need are more women as executive directors, and we need more women as CEOs and CFOs at the leadership level."

Jeannette reflects on the past year, focusing upon the importance of self-assessment as we approach the new year. Dividing her reflections into three key pillars — leading yourself, leading the business, and leading teams — she shares personal challenges, including health issues and family matters, and highlights the significance of self-care and gratitude during tough times.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It's important to take time to reflect on the past year, focusing on personal leadership, business achievements, and team dynamics. This reflection can help identify areas for improvement and set a positive tone for the upcoming year.
During challenging times, focusing on self-care is crucial. Establishing a routine that includes exercise, mindfulness, and gratitude can help maintain a sense of calm and resilience.
Focusing on small, incremental improvements (the "1% better" philosophy) can lead to significant progress over time. This approach can be applied to various aspects of business and personal development.
Surrounding oneself with the right people is essential for success. It's important to recruit individuals who share similar values and are committed to achieving collective goals, while also being willing to make tough decisions when team dynamics don't align.
BEST MOMENTS
"Reflecting on the year that's passed allows me to think about what's gone well and what can I do to propel myself forward into the next year."
"When things are difficult, it's even more important to focus on putting your own oxygen mask on first."
"The power of the 1% is where the gains can really come; it's about getting 1% better every single day."
"It's important that you have the right people on your team, those that share the same values as you."
"I genuinely believe that the best is yet to come; there are no limits to your growth."
