  • Jeannette talks to Julia Simpson, the president and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC). Julia shares her unique journey to her current role, highlighting her extensive experience in both government and the corporate sector, including her time as an advisor to former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

    They also talk about the importance of understanding the interplay between government and business, especially in the volatile travel and tourism industry. Julia discusses the WTTC's significant impact on the global economy, representing one in ten jobs worldwide, and emphasises the need for a unified voice for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the sector.

    Together with Finn Partners, WTTC is launching in October a community for the global SME market called Together in Travel. As the voice of the global travel private sector WTTC wants to make sure the voice of the SME is heard loud and clear. This will be a dynamic and free-to-subscribe community with lots of useful content and will focus on empowering these businesses by facilitating meaningful connections, providing valuable insights, and offering tailored learning programs to help them thrive in a competitive market.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Resilience is crucial in both government and corporate sectors, as leaders often face numerous challenges and setbacks. Embracing failures and learning from them can lead to stronger leadership. Understanding the dynamics between government and the private sector is essential for effective advocacy in travel and tourism. Leaders must navigate the differing timeframes and priorities of both sectors to create meaningful partnerships. The travel and tourism industry must leverage data and AI to enhance operations and customer experiences. Leaders should take ownership of AI initiatives to drive innovation and efficiency within their organisations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are vital to the travel and tourism sector, representing 80% of the industry. Initiatives like "Together in Travel" aim to amplify their voices and provide resources for growth and resilience. As the travel and tourism sector grows, it is essential to prioritise sustainability and responsible growth. Leaders should advocate for practices that protect the environment and support local communities, ensuring a positive impact on society.

  • Jeannette shares a powerful formula for success that applies to various aspects of life, including business, career, and personal relationships. The formula consists of three key components: belief, purpose, and action, which together lead to meaningful results.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Success is achieved through the formula: Belief + Purpose + Action = Results. Each component is essential for achieving desired outcomes in business and personal life.

    Self-belief is crucial. If you don't believe in yourself and your capabilities, it will be challenging for others to believe in you. Regularly remind yourself of your achievements to strengthen your self-belief.

    Having a clear purpose and understanding your "why" is vital for staying on track. Take time to reflect on your goals and the legacy you want to leave, as this clarity will guide your actions.

    Massive action is necessary to achieve results. Incremental improvements and consistent efforts, even if they don't always lead to immediate results, contribute to long-term success.

    Regularly evaluate your belief, purpose, and actions. If you're not achieving the results you want, check if your belief is strong enough, if your purpose is clear, and if you're taking the right actions aligned with your goals

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Belief plus purpose plus action equals results. Let me say it again. Belief plus purpose plus action equals results."

    "If we don't believe in ourselves, if we don't believe in what we're doing, then how can anyone else believe in you?"

    "Having a clear vision for where you wanna go, knowing your reason why, is absolutely critical because it will keep you on track."

    "There is no point in playing small in this life. Live a life that you have got the capability to do, not less."

    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 BRILLIANT.

  • Jeannette presents a special montage episode featuring insights from four remarkable CEOs leading multi-billion dollar businesses. Listeners will hear from Johan Lundgren, Group CEO of EasyJet, who discusses his rapid ascent in leadership and the importance of diversity and inclusion within his organisation. The episode also includes perspectives from Duncan O'Rourke, CEO of Accor, who shares his journey through the luxury hotel sector and the evolving definition of luxury in today's market. Additionally, Barbara Muckerman, former CEO of Silversea Cruises and CEO of Kempinski Hotels, and Oriele Frank, co-founder of Elemis, contribute their experiences and insights on brand building and sustainability

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Effective leadership during challenging times, such as a pandemic, involves breaking down overwhelming situations into manageable parts. Staying focused on outcomes and maintaining a positive demeanour can help guide teams through adversity. Authenticity is crucial for successful leadership. Being true to oneself and leading in a way that aligns with personal values fosters trust and engagement within teams. The cultural differences between running businesses in Sweden and the UK are discussed, noting that Scandinavian leadership often emphasises consensus and early adoption of digitalisation, which can influence decision-making processes. The journey of building a brand or business involves constant evolution and adaptation. Embracing change, learning from experiences, and being open to new ideas are essential for long-term success and sustainability.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "If you can let everybody be at their best level, if you can get everybody to express themselves in the most natural way, that ultimately must be better."

    "Luxury is limited by definition. Luxury is limited. It's personalised. And it's changed fundamentally from 10 years ago to what is luxury now."

    "I never thought that 10 men in the boardroom is equal as bad as 10 women in the boardroom."

    "Profit is not a dirty word. If we don't make profit, we don't have a business and we don't have people employed."

  • Jeannette addresses the critical importance of networking and how it can significantly impact both personal and professional growth. She shares ten actionable tips for building a thriving network, highlighting the need for a mindset shift, intentionality, and the value of nurturing relationships.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Approach networking with intention. Set aside dedicated time in your calendar for networking activities, whether it's attending events or connecting with people on platforms like LinkedIn. Focus on how you can help others in your network rather than what you can gain from them. This principle fosters genuine relationships and encourages reciprocity. Establish specific networking goals and create a plan to achieve them. This could include attending events, reaching out to potential leads, or increasing your social media presence. Regularly assess your networking efforts to identify what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategies based on your experiences to enhance your networking effectiveness over time.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Your network is your net worth. It's all about who you know in this world."

    "Be intentional with your networking. Don't leave this just to chance."

    "Lead with value. Always think about how you can help the other person first."

    "Set yourself some goals. What gets measured gets done."

    "Review, tweak, refine. This will lead to exciting opportunities."

  • Jeannette talks to Amanda Teale, the CEO and founder of Minerva Private Travel and Lifestyle Management. They delve into Amanda's inspiring journey from her early fascination with travel to establishing a successful luxury travel business.

    Amanda shares her unique approach to client service, emphasising the importance of personalised experiences and seamless journeys, which set her apart in the competitive travel industry.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Minerva Private Travel emphasises a highly personalised service, focusing on the entire journey of the client, from pre-departure communication to seamless transitions at airports.

    The business model relies on referrals and recommendations rather than traditional advertising, which has proven to be a successful long-term strategy for building a loyal client base.

    Challenges such as the aftermath of 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the volatility of the travel industry. Adapting to these challenges, including diversifying services and maintaining a positive mindset, is crucial for survival and growth.

    Building a strong team and delegating tasks is essential for efficiency. Investing in the right people allows for a focus on core business activities, leading to better overall performance.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "What I do differently is I actually put quite a lot of emphasis on the journey. Our drivers message them 48 hours before they leave home; that's where their journey starts for us."

    "The travel industry is the most volatile industry in the world... It only takes one person to say something, and they're like, 'Oh, I'm going now, cancel.'"

    "The term luxury is an interesting one. I think it's overused, in my opinion."

    "You have to be humble in hard times... If things got bad again, I'd have to do the same. And I would be prepared to do that."

    The discussion covers essential topics such as the importance of listening before jumping into action, conducting a thorough 100-day review, building key relationships, and understanding what success looks like through clear KPIs

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    "You need to make sure that you're able to hover above on the horizon, looking out, having a big vision, a strategy, longer term thinking."

    "Take time. Do a lot of listening. Don't jump to conclusions too fast because you might find that you miss things."

    "Get yourself a mentor. Honestly, it will totally change how you navigate through this first leadership role."

    "It is a privilege to lead a team. It's a privilege to lead a business. And you are custodian of that role."

  • Jeannette comes to you from the Be Happy Healthy Wealthy Podcast, hosted by the amazing Dr Irene Ching, and discusses her inspiring journey from growing up in Manchester to leading major travel companies and eventually transitioning into her own businesses, including property investing and advisory work.

    Jeannette also talks about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, her daily routines, and the significance of having mentors and coaches throughout her career, emphasising the need for self-belief, clarity in goals, and taking action, while also addressing the challenges of navigating life changes and uncertainties

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Transitioning from a corporate career to entrepreneurship can be daunting, but it's essential to believe in oneself and take calculated risks. Understanding the worst-case scenario can help alleviate fears and encourage bold decisions. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for success. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep are non-negotiable aspects of a productive routine. Having mentors and coaches at different stages of your career can provide invaluable support and insight. They can help navigate challenges and encourage personal and professional growth. Establishing a routine that incorporates healthy habits is key to long-term success. It's important to make sustainable choices rather than relying on quick fixes or crash diets.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Believe in yourself, because if you don't believe in you, then how will anyone else?"

    "I think consistency is key. Good habits are key. If you're used to doing that, you more naturally come back to it."

    "I always ask myself, well, what's the worst that can happen? And then when you've got that in your head, you kind of go, well, even that I can deal with."

  • Jeannette talks about the topic of leadership burnout, drawing from personal experiences as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur. She highlights the prevalence of burnout among ambitious individuals and the detrimental effects it can have on both individuals and organisations

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    It is crucial to be aware of the signs of burnout, such as feelings of exhaustion, disengagement, and reduced efficiency. Taking time for yourself to regroup, whether for an extended period or short breaks, can help release stress and prevent burnout. Reflect on your leadership style and effectiveness, ensuring you are focusing on the right things and not overloading yourself. Ensure you have the right people in the right positions, empower your team, delegate effectively, and provide support for success. Surround yourself with supportive individuals with whom you can discuss your feelings and challenges, seeking guidance and encouragement to navigate potential burnout.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "35% of employees were actually having difficulties maintaining a healthy work-life balance and were suffering with extreme stress, pressure, not feeling great."

    "The most successful leaders are those that can role model resilience and vulnerability together, because those two elements will help with this aspect of burnout."

    "Life is too short to be anything but happy. So if you're worried about any of this in terms of your mental health, your well-being, then, as I say, more than happy to have a conversation."

    "It's not always easy, but there's always a way to solve these things together."

    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 BRILLIANT.

  • Jeannette talks about the debate surrounding the optimal working week schedule, comparing the recent introduction of a six-day working week in Greece to the trend of trialling four-day working weeks in various countries. Jeannette explores the reasons behind Greece's decision to implement a six-day working week, citing economic challenges and ambitions for increased productivity.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    The debate between a four-day working week and a six-day working week is a hot topic globally, with different countries and companies experimenting with various schedules. Greece recently introduced a voluntary six-day working week, offering a 40% increase in salary for the extra day worked, aiming to boost economic productivity. The introduction of the six-day working week in Greece has sparked controversy, with concerns about employee well-being, consultation, and potential impact on productivity. On the other hand, many countries have been trialling four-day working weeks, with some companies making it a permanent change due to benefits like improved work-life balance and productivity gains.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Greece has actually announced that they are introducing a six-day working week which is quite controversial given that this is quite a different approach to a lot of the other countries that we see around the world."

    "So financially, there is clearly a benefit to the employees that take up the six-day working week."

    "Some of the benefits of the four-day working week are that it allows for a better life work balance for employees."

    "Life has changed since COVID, right? And that forced us to work more creatively in a very different way than we ever have done before."

    Alan had a stellar football career, playing for various clubs and experiencing the changes in the game over the years.

    The transition from playing for Leeds to Cardiff was challenging due to the intense rivalry between the two clubs, leading to a mixed reception from fans.

    The importance of mindset and mental health in sports was evident, with players facing self-doubts and pressure before games.

    The story of Alan's uncle, Roy Paul, winning the FA Cup with Manchester City in 1956 after losing in 1955, showcases the determination and prediction of a victory.

    The evolution of football tactics and the emphasis on possession in modern football contrast with the more straightforward and aggressive style of play in the past.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I think the players certainly are much more tactically aware as well now... It's much more tactical. It's almost like a game of chess now."

    "I think everybody, every player goes through a doubt just before they go out... all the self-doubts that he had, and, oh, I've got a little bit of a niggle there now."

    "I think sometimes I always feel that somebody's looking down and looking after me in key moments... I think that probably would have all disappeared."

    "I remember the first time I played for Cardiff... I got booed by both sets of supporters. Wow. Talking about character building!"

He was then sold on to Leeds United, but struggled in the First Division and was sold back to Swansea in 1980. He helped Swansea to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1980–81, but a period of decline for the club followed and he moved on to Southampton in November 1983. He played on loan at Stoke City towards the end of the 1985–86 season, before he joined Cardiff City in the summer. He helped the "Bluebirds" to win promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1987–88 and to also win the Welsh Cup in 1988. He made another return to Swansea during the 1989–90 campaign, and later ended his career with Barry Town, winning the Welsh Cup in 1994.

  • Jeannette talks about the concept of "quiet vacationing," a trend that has emerged as a subtle way for individuals to take time off without formally booking annual leave.

    She explores the pros and cons of quiet vacationing, discussing how it can be a beneficial approach to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but also highlighting the potential drawbacks of not fully disconnecting from work

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Quiet vacationing is a growing trend where individuals take time off without formally booking annual leave. Pros and cons of quiet vacationing include the ability to recharge and maintain work-life balance, but the risk of not fully recuperating if work continues during the time off. Leaders should ensure clear communication of holiday entitlements, encourage unplugging, monitor workload issues, and prioritise employee wellness. Consistency in allowing time off and adhering to legal obligations is crucial for fostering a healthy work environment. Setting the tone as a leader by practicing what you preach regarding taking breaks and promoting work-life balance is essential for the team's well-being.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Taking that approach can be a great way to just recharge, take a little bit of time, you know, etc."

    "But the reality is, if you're not taking a break, then you're at risk of burnout, right?"

    "So be flexible. Very often, people want more flexibility these days."

    "I think a focus on wellness is absolutely critical for your teams."

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's vital to choose the right team and be selective about the individuals one spends time with, as it can impact personal growth and success.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "You're around mood hoovers. You're going to be a mood hoover. You know, you're around excellent, effective, positive people. You become excellent and effective, positive person."

    "You become the average of the five people you spend most of your time with. So choose wisely."

    "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. You know, you need to, you know, upskill yourself and whoever you hang around with. It means a lot."

  • Jeannette discusses the concept of "quiet quitting," where employees disengage and perform only the minimum requirements for their job. She discusses the characteristics and causes of quiet quitting, citing statistics from a Gallup poll on employee engagement, and what we can do about it.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Quiet quitting refers to employees who are only doing the bare minimum required for their job, lacking enthusiasm and engagement. Quiet quitting can lead to decreased productivity, poor team dynamics, and ultimately affect the overall success of the business. Factors such as burnout, lack of recognition, unclear expectations, and poor management can contribute to quiet quitting among employees. Implementing an engaging work culture, clarifying expectations, offering fair compensation, and creating an employee engagement strategy can help combat quiet quitting. Leaders should assess their own leadership style and make necessary adjustments to inspire and empower their teams effectively.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "Only 10% of employees feel engaged. So that therefore means that a staggering 90% of employees are therefore not engaged."

    "40% of employees in the UK were found to be experiencing daily stress, 27% reported feeling daily sadness, 20% reported feeling daily anger."

    "Gen Z's quiet quitting. 47% of Gen Z's said that they were coasting along in their career, and 40% said they're thriving."

    "Leadership is really around inspiring your teams, providing the vision, the focus, making those difficult investment choices, setting the strategy, and really empowering your teams to excel in whatever their roles are."

  • Jeannette is joined by the marvelous Jonathan Davies OBE, the legendary rugby player, to discuss his upbringing, career, and leadership experiences.

    Jonathan reflects on his humble beginnings in a small Welsh village, the challenges he faced, and the importance of mentors in his life. He shares insights on leadership, teamwork, and motivation, drawing parallels between sports and business.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Building strong relationships and understanding people is crucial in both sports and business. Preparation and communication are key elements for success in leadership roles. Motivating a team in challenging situations requires instilling self-belief and maintaining a positive attitude. Teamwork and a common purpose are essential for achieving goals and success. Balancing skill and attitude when selecting team members is important, with attitude often taking precedence.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "I think it's always been kind of there in Wales. You know, having moved then up and realising it's very similar to North West and South Wales."

    "The bloke's attitude has got to be inclusive. He's with us or he's not. If he's not with us, that's going to be an issue for me."

    "In your business, I'd rather have a hole than a narsel."

    "I think the simpler it is, the more people understand it, then the easier the goal."

  • Jeannette discusses the importance of creating a culture of collaboration within large organisations, outlining eight key ways to build a collaborative culture, ranging from executive support and creating the right environment, to modelling collaborative behaviour and fostering a sense of community.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Creating a culture of collaboration is crucial for maximising skills, resources, and experience within an organisation. As organisations grow larger, collaboration becomes more challenging due to scale, diversity, virtual teams, and highly skilled individuals. Eight ways to build a culture of collaboration include executive support, creating the right environment, modelling collaborative behaviour, fostering a gift culture, implementing HR practices, ensuring requisite skills, supporting a sense of community, and having the right team leaders and structure. Executive support sets the tone for collaboration throughout the organisation. HR practices should include rewarding and recognizing collaborative efforts to encourage teamwork.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "A culture of collaboration is absolutely critical because when people collaborate, then they bring their best to the team and you're able to really maximise the skills, the resources and the experience that you have."

    "Those are the four characteristics that make a large organisation successful, but also they're the four reasons why collaboration can be harder."

    "Are you demonstrating collaboration in the way that you are conducting yourself at work? So, you know, very often all eyes are on the boss."

    "So as organisations grow, as they get bigger, become more diverse, maybe more virtual, different offices, etc. This can become harder."
