Jeannette shares her biggest inspiration and her own formula for success with the amazing Iain Drudy on his show, Fearless Inspiration.
Jeannette talks about the importance of running a business with a heart, prioritising people and customers over profits, and her journey from a corporate career in the travel industry to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her passion for empowering women in the boardroom.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s crucial to put customers and people first in business, rather than solely focusing on financial gains. By prioritising customer satisfaction and creating a value-driven business, financial success will naturally follow.
All forms of diversity, including gender, LGBTQ, and social diversity, are important. Creating an inclusive environment not only benefits society but also leads to better financial results and customer experiences.
It’s important to take responsibility, learn from failures, and maintain a positive mindset to move forward and achieve success.
Leaders have a responsibility to inspire their teams, customers, and stakeholders. Leading by example, being authentic, and treating everyone with respect are key aspects of inspiring leadership.
There are 3 S's we can use to break through barriers and turn inspiration into action. State refers to mindset and energy levels, story involves the beliefs and narratives we tell ourselves, and strategy focuses on taking action and implementing plans. By addressing these three aspects, individuals can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you put your customer and your people first, and you do the right thing with a great idea that's unique and different, then the money will follow."
"Everyone has skills and contributions that they can make, but you have to really create an environment where proactively you're encouraging those opportunities for all."
"Don't lose hope when bad things happen, but own it, take responsibility, don't blame others."
"Change your state, change your energy, go to the gym, get a positive endorphin rush, and then the world seems more open to possibilities."
"Fundamentally, every person has good in them. I like to think most people are good."
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.
