Mission Ambition: Helping More Women Step Into Leadership with Jo Dallas

What would be possible if you stopped talking yourself out of the things you really want? In this episode, I'm joined by leadership coach and founder of Changemakers Coaching, Jo Dallas, for a conversation about confidence, ambition, leadership and why so many women hold themselves back from opportunities they're more than capable of achieving. We talk about the impact of negative self-talk, stepping outside your comfort zone, asking for what you want, building supportive networks, and why doing it all alone isn't the badge of honour we often think it is. If you've ever questioned whether you're ready for the next step, this episode is a reminder that growth rarely feels comfortable, and that's often a sign you're heading in the right direction. More about Jo: Jo Dallas is on a mission to help women unapologetically achieve their ambitions. As the founder of Changemakers Coaching she’s been a ‘work wing woman’ to some of the most capable women in business - women who are smart and intelligent and havesomehow still found themselves stuck, shrunk, or simply not sure what comes next or how to get there. For six years she's worked globally with organisations serious about closing their leadership gender gap and with executive women who are done waiting to feel ready. Her mission is simple. Help women decide what they actually want, and then go get it. Whether that's the boardroom, their own business, a return after a career break, or quitting everything and moving country. All of it counts. All of them matter. Being coached by Jo has been described as “a hug and a kick”. Warm enough that you feel safe. Direct enough that you take action. If you're waiting until you feel ready, you’ll be waiting a long time. Instead, take your next best step and talk to Jo.

The Only Way You Fail Is If You Give Up

TW: This episode references child loss This episode was recorded on the way home from a business strategy day in Kent and I very nearly did not publish it! This recording are my thoughts as they came to me, so there is repetition, there are pauses - all the things a great Podcast Strategist would tell you not to publish. But I didn't want to get in my own way by editing and perfecting what is an in the moment reflection. So instead, I ask for your forgiveness with the pauses and where I repeat myself. I spent the day with a group of incredible women, several in their 70s, who are building businesses, creating products, launching new ideas and investing in themselves and their futures. Their stories made me reflect on my own journey over the last two years. The goals I haven't achieved yet. The progress I have made. The lessons learned along the way. And the importance of continuing to show up, even when things take longer than expected. We talk a lot about success, but not enough about persistence. This is a conversation about ambition, resilience, purpose, learning, growth and what becomes possible when you decide not to give up.

How to Ask Better Questions and Build Better Conversations

In this episode of Next Level You, I’m talking about something that came up in a conversation at a recent event - questioning. A friend asked me how I developed the ability to ask good questions and it led to a really interesting reflection around listening, curiosity, coaching and connection. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the quality of our conversations changes when we stop thinking about what to say next and start paying closer attention to what’s actually being said.

Building a Business That Doesn't Depend on You

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the reason I started my business and how that’s evolved into helping founders build businesses that don’t rely on them for everything. After attending an event this week, I found myself reflecting on founder dependency, business growth, systems, freedom and why so many businesses are started out of necessity rather than with long-term intention. I talk about leaving the job I enjoyed, the lack of clarity in my early business journey, founder dependency and why systems and processes matter so much when you want to build a business that doesn’t rely entirely on you. This episode is really about freedom, intention, and building something bigger than just creating yourself another job.

If Everything Feels Too Much Right Now, Listen to This

Feeling like there’s too much to do and no clear place to start? In this short episode of Next Level You, I’m talking about why that feeling isn’t just about how much is on your list.

Reclaiming Your Worth as a Female Founder with Gemma Gilmour

In this episode of Next Level You, I’m joined by Gemma Gilmour, a behaviour analyst turned transformational coach, for a beautiful conversation about self-worth, mindset, business, intuition and what happens when you realise you’ve outgrown the work you once loved. Gemma shares how she built her first business in Applied Behaviour Analysis, why moving into the online space knocked her confidence, and how she found herself linking sales, visibility and business growth to her own sense of worth. We talk about the pressure so many female founders feel to keep pushing, proving and holding everything together, and why reconnecting with your body, your intuition and your own inner belief can change the way you show up in business. This is a conversation about trusting yourself, changing the story, letting go of other people’s opinions, and remembering that your worth was never meant to be measured by income, success, qualifications or external validation. More about Gemma: Gemma Gilmour is a behavioural psychology-trained transformation coach for ambitious female entrepreneurs who know they’re meant for more. She specialises in subconscious rewiring and nervous system stabilisation, helping women build the internal leadership required to hold visibility, money and growth without shrinking Connect with Gemma https://www.facebook.com/gemma.gilmour.54/ https://www.instagram.com/success_becomes_her/" Keywords: female founder mindset, self-worth in business, transformational coaching, business confidence, women entrepreneurs, intuition in business, mindset coach, online business growth, limiting beliefs, female entrepreneurship.

Stop Assuming: The Habit That Improves Delegation, Communication and Processes

In this episode of Next Level You, I explore the role assumptions play in our thinking and the impact they can have on our businesses. After reflecting on a tragic local event and the wave of assumptions that quickly followed online, it made me think about how often we do the same thing in business - filling gaps in information with stories that may not actually be true. In this episode I talk about: • The risks assumptions create when delegating work • How communication gaps appear when training team members • Why documented processes and SOPs are so powerful • The importance of process confirmation and continuous improvement This episode is a reminder to pause, question the stories we are telling ourselves, and replace assumptions with curiosity, evidence and better conversations. When we remove assumptions, we create clarity and clarity leads to better decisions in business.
