Why should anyone be led by you?

Have you heard the old cliché: "People don’t quit a bad job, they quit a bad boss?"
There has never been a more important time for managers, to reflect on how they are as bosses, managers and leaders to create a positive environment and build a committed team.

Lead with Confidence

Personal and business success goes hand-in-hand with confidence. Confidence is the foundation of leadership - it’s the fuel that drives us forward. Leaders are role models - so their confidence is contagious, and unfortunately, so is lack of confidence. Here are my tips to build your confidence as a leader.

How to Give Feedback

One of the most challenging things about becoming a manager is building the confidence to give effective feedback to your team. Delivering positive or negative feedback can feel daunting, you might not want to come across as soft and gushing or worry that the receiver won’t like you or that giving feedback may be pointless and unhelpful. But giving feedback is crucial to keeping your team on track, boosting quality and performance, to avoiding or repeating mistakes. So here are my tips on giving feedback.

Hospitality Mavericks Podcast interview

, , , , ,

I’ve long been a fan of the podcast Hospitality Mavericks, so I was really excited to be asked by its host Michael Tingsager, to join him to chat about my work as an executive coach and running leadership development programmes.

We talk about the difference between leadership and management, how to build a strong, happy and engaged team, changing expectations of work life and just some of the challenges facing business leaders today.

I also share my own story of how I moved from hospitality and food & drink branding and communications to become a business coach, and how I build healthy routines and lots of exercise to look after myself.

You can listen to the podcast on all the usual podcast channels from Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon and below on YouTube.

I highly recommend all the podcasts on Hospitality Mavericks!
