    Taking Back Control

We share our experiences working with business owners who have allowed team members, especially key team members to be involved in areas of the business that involve key decisions and strategies, and then find themselves almost working for the team members, instead of the other way around. Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss the concept and boundaries, and how they play a part in this behaviour developing. Also, this is our final ‘regular’ episode of 2025 before we head into our ‘Summer Series’ where we will be bringing you interesting, interviews, conversations and discussions Kristy-Lee and Juliet have had throughout 2025.

    Leading With Imposter Syndrome

    This is a tricky one.  Do you feel completely confident when dealing with your team or talking with your boss, but lose that confidence when you’re around your peers?  Often, particularly if we are highly analytical and have a perfectionist streak, it can be easy for that voice in our head to tell us we’re not good enough, to question who are we to have a view, push a point or insist on an outcome.  A few clients have raised this with us and it’s a hard one to counter. In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee are talking about some of the challenges of imposter syndrome, particularly when we know rationally that we good at what we do.  And we discuss the challenges of holding boundaries with our peers when we feel this way. There are things we can do to shift this feeling and we would love to hear from you if this is something you struggle with or have overcome. You can share your thoughts and experience with us at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/ And if you would like to connect with us, including accessing free resources on this and other leadership challenges, you can do this at: Juliet Robinson        Big Goals Kristy-Lee Billett      People Powered Business If you enjoy our podcast, we would love a review on whichever platform you access your episodes.
