    Audit Your Life, Audit Your Business: The 5 Brutal Truths Holding You Back From Scaling

    Jeannette explores the five brutal truths of leadership that often prevent businesses from scaling. She argues that business stagnation is frequently a standards problem rather than a strategy problem, and that true growth requires a deep internal audit of the leader's own habits, ego, and emotional triggers.  By shifting focus from external tactics to internal self-awareness, leaders can identify where they are becoming the bottleneck and learn to let go of control to create the space necessary for their organisation to expand. You’ll Learn Why: You might be addicted to being needed Your standards act as a ceiling Avoiding difficult conversations stalls progress Your personal life affects your leadership This episode is living proof that no matter where you’re starting from — or what life throws at you — it’s never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

    Defining Success Beyond Money: Juliet Barratt's Perspective on Life After a £200m Exit from Grenade

    Jeannette is live on stage with the remarkable Juliet Barratt, co-founder of ultra-successful sports nutrition brand Grenade, which was sold for £200 million.  Juliet shares her entrepreneurial journey, starting from her early days as a teacher to her pivotal meeting with her business partner, Al, and the challenges and triumphs of building a brand that stands out in a crowded market, the importance of gut feeling in decision-making, and the dynamics of working with a partner in both business and life You’ll Learn Why: Success is not solely defined by monetary gains but by the experiences and choices made along the way Trusting one's instincts and gut feelings can lead to significant breakthroughs in business.  Decisions should be made based on what feels right, rather than overanalysing every aspect. Building a strong team with complementary skill sets is essential. Having the right people around can significantly impact the business's culture and success The ability to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances is vital.  Recognising when to pull back from opportunities, such as entering a new market too early, can save a business from potential pitfalls.

    From The Classroom to AI Innovation - Matthew Spriegel's Success Blueprint

    Matthew Spriegel, CEO and founder of Atium, shares his fascinating journey from spending 12 years in China to developing a cutting-edge behavioural change technology for frontline workers.  Matthew explains how Atium uses gamification, AI-driven playbooks, and a "TikTok-style" micro-learning approach to boost employee engagement and operational efficiency in sectors like hospitality. He dives deep into the necessity of a growth mindset, the importance of niche-focused scalability, and how embracing a sense of curiosity can transform both personal identity and business trajectory. You’ll Learn Why: Micro-learning is the future for the forgotten workforce of frontline employees. Owning a vertical is the secret sauce to scaling a tech startup globally. AI is an opportunity for human enhancement rather than a threat to job security. Complementary partnerships are the best cure for shiny penny syndrome in entrepreneurs. Curiosity-led leadership can bridge cultural gaps and mend complex personal relationships.
