Clair Preston- Beer who is a managing director at Greene King pubs sits down with Jeannette to talk about all things career, business, mindset, and navigating demerging and restructuring.

As well as discussing the importance of diversity in the sector.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Be the best version of yourself and be confident about who you are. Everyone has something special to offer.
During any restructuring, good communication while restructuring is even more important. You need to be clear about the reasons for changing things and create space in the business to implement the change.
You need to be present for whatever you are doing. Including for your family. Children, in particular, need you to be there for them and fully focused on them, during family time.
In today's digital world, pubs are one of the last places people come together and connect. Many communities still value them and have a sense of ownership, which is a good thing, but it can also make it hard to change things.
Keeping in touch and understanding your grassroots customers is essential. Analysing your data is important, but talking directly to your teams and customers is also vital.
BEST MOMENTS
'I wanted to go and find a business where people were at the heart of the customer experience.'
'When you are quite disciplined and organised, it can mean you actually get better about balance.'
'I’m also very passionate about making the hospitality spaces really accessible places.'
'Make sure the change is worthwhile'
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
