    #255 - How Creating a Supportive Culture Can Help Close the Gender Gap in Business'

    Authenticity might just be your biggest career advantage but it’s often overlooked. In this episode, Laura Leyland, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fresh Perspective Resourcing chats with Michelle Harness, Managing Director at JMG Insurance Brokers, who shares how she progressed from a part-time role to regional leadership without ever chasing job titles or promotions. Instead, her journey was built on consistency, supporting those around her, and bringing the right energy to everything she did. We explore what truly sets great leaders apart from resilience and mindset to the power of personality and genuine connection. Michelle also talks about the importance of mentorship, backing yourself, and having the confidence to speak up about your ambitions, even when it feels uncomfortable. The conversation also shines a light on the gender gap in leadership, particularly within traditionally male-dominated industries. Michelle shares honest reflections on the subtle barriers women still face, from confidence challenges to workplace cultures that don’t always recognise potential and, more importantly, what can be done to change that. Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your career, lead more authentically, or build a more inclusive and supportive team, this episode offers practical insights and real-life perspective to help you get there. Because success isn’t about fitting a mould, it’s about owning who you are and using it to your advantage. Follow Us & Stay Fresh: LinkedIn | Instagram YouTube | TikTok | Website

    #253 - How Authentic Storytelling Can Transform Traditional Industries & Attract Ideal Clients

    Forget what you think you know about marketing and personal branding. Hosted by Laura Leyland from Fresh Perspective Resourcing, this episode explores what it really takes to stand out in industries that feel tired, traditional, or stuck in their ways. Joined by guest Francesca McClory, owner of Future Cloud Accounting, the conversation dives into how authenticity, honest storytelling, and a willingness to challenge outdated ideas of “professionalism” can become your biggest competitive advantage. In a world full of cookie-cutter tactics and influencer formulas, this episode unpacks a different approach, one rooted in real values, strategic visibility, and genuine human connection. Together Laura & Francesca discuss dismantling stereotypes, embracing your quirks to attract the right clients, and using social media as a space for honesty rather than polished perfection. You’ll hear practical insights on building trust before the flashy marketing, showing up consistently even when it feels uncomfortable, and turning vulnerability into a strength instead of a weakness. This conversation highlights how resilience, clarity of message, and a bold commitment to being yourself can transform not only your brand, but your business growth too.
