Starting out on your own can feel daunting, even if it's within a profession you're already well-established in.
It can, of course be incredibly exciting and liberating, but there will be challenges too, and often it's the unknown elements that feel the most daunting.
In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, we talk to Robyn Sandilands about some of those challenges, and how you can best prepare yourself to overcome them.
Robyn doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk, having founded the legal consultancy business Sandilands Legal in 2023.
We discuss the strength in saying "I don't understand", why career progression absolutely does not end at 45, and why kindness is the key to good leadership.
