In this packed episode, Jeannette is interviewed by Ellie McKay of the On a Mission podcast. Jeannette shares details of her early life, education and more. Explaining how despite getting a first from Leeds University she still suffered from imposter syndrome. She explains how she turned that, and class prejudice, on their head, and used them to drive her forward. Jeannette also talks about working at a high level in a male-dominated environment and how mentors helped her to make step changes in her career.
She explains why she left the corporate world to work with her other half, Chris. Including, how they avoid friction, divide up the workload and maintain a good work/life balance. Jeannette and Ellie also discuss where the biggest business opportunities are likely to be over the coming decade.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When Jeanette started work, regional and class prejudices were still prevalent. As was sexism.
Imposter syndrome is something most of us suffer from. In the podcast, Jeannette explains how she was able to largely overcome it.
Being yourself is important, trying to play a role is exhausting and pointless because you always get found out.
Be positive, if in your mind you are expecting problems you are almost setting yourself up for that to be the case.
You don´t need to be an alpha female to be able to secure senior roles
SAS software and those businesses that simplify and streamline tasks and processes are doing especially well.
Demand for flexible office space is growing as people tweak the way they work remotely.
Each time Jeannette has had a mentor it has enabled her to make a step-change in her career.
Dividing the workload clearly and each person playing to their strengths makes it much easier to run a business with your life partner.
Good communication enables you to solve anything.
Believe in yourself, everything starts with the internal you.
