Christmas Special: Why Values Matter More Than Ever in Leadership
As the year draws to a close, this Christmas special episode takes a step back to reflect on something that often gets overlooked in leadership and business: your values. In a world of constant pressure, short-term decision-making, and commercial targets, it's easy to treat values as words on a wall rather than the foundation they are meant to be. But do values still matter in modern leadership, and do they really influence performance, culture, and long-term success? In this festive episode, I am joined by returning guests Jeevan Punj and Sian Brennan-Todd to explore why values remain a true guiding star for leaders, especially during challenging periods. Together, we discuss what values really mean in practice, how staying true to them helps leaders navigate difficult decisions, and why values play such a critical role in team culture, employee engagement, and trust across supply chains. This conversation is a reminder that strong values are not about perfection. They are about clarity, consistency, and leadership integrity. Whether you're leading a growing business, managing a team, or setting intentions for the year ahead, this episode will help you reflect on what truly drives sustainable success. --------- #Values #CompanyValues #Leadership #LeadershipTips #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurTips #BusinessGrowth #BusinessStrategy #GrowYourBusiness #BusinessAdvice #Business #GrowYourBusiness #Leaders #CEO ----------   To find out more about Sian and her work, you can follow her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sian-brennan-todd/.

What Every Future Entrepreneur Needs to Hear
Starting a business is one thing. Growing it into something successful is another. At the Festival of Entrepreneurs 2025, we asked founders, CEOs and industry leaders one simple question: What advice would you give to the next generation of entrepreneurs? The answers were honest, practical and often brutally real. In this episode, you’ll hear insights from people who have already built, scaled and survived the entrepreneurial journey. You’ll learn why failure should never scare you, why letting go of tasks can unlock your growth, and why mentorship is more important than most founders realise. You’ll also discover why what got you here will not get you to the next stage, and how hiring based on personality traits can beat hiring on skills alone. Whether you’re preparing to launch a new venture or looking for clarity on how to grow, this episode gives you advice from people who have actually done it. --------- #Leadership #LeadershipTips #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurTips #BusinessGrowth #BusinessStrategy #GrowYourBusiness #BusinessAdvice #Business #GrowYourBusiness #Leaders #CEO ---------- Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert advice on business strategy, leadership, and scaling your business. ---------- Want to learn how to produce a winning business strategy and profitably grow your business?

The Strategy Mistakes Successful Entrepreneurs Never Make!
Business strategy is never as simple as the textbooks make it sound. Every company grows differently, and there is no universal playbook that guarantees success. That's why the smartest leaders learn from those who have already been through the journey. At the 2025 Festival of Entrepreneurs, I asked some of the most experienced founders, leaders and investors one question that matters more than any other: What is the biggest challenge in implementing your business strategy? From stepping back to see the bigger picture, to avoiding the chicken and egg trap of relying on external funding, to understanding the real gaps in your market, this episode brings together honest, practical insights from people who have built and scaled businesses. If you want to understand how successful entrepreneurs think about strategy, competitors, growth and decision making, this video will give you perspectives you will not hear anywhere else. --------- #Leadership #LeadershipTips #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurTips #BusinessGrowth #BusinessStrategy #GrowYourBusiness #BusinessAdvice #Business #GrowYourBusiness #Leaders #CEO ---------- Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert advice on business strategy, leadership, and scaling your business. ---------- Want to learn how to produce a winning business strategy and profitably grow your business?

Why People Are Not Your Greatest Asset
We hear it all the time, “people are your greatest asset”, but is it actually true? In this episode, I challenge one of the most overused clichés in leadership and business, and break down the real thinking behind why this phrase is more misleading than helpful. I explore the origins of the saying, why it has become lazy thinking for many leaders, and what you should be focusing on instead if you want a high-performing team and a scalable business. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand the real relationship between people, performance and leadership – and why assets don’t think, feel or choose to follow you. It's perfect for founders, CEOs and business leaders who want to go beyond slogans and build teams that genuinely drive their strategy forward. --------- #BusinessStrategy #Strategy #Leadership #LeadershipTips #Entrepreneurship #EntrepreneurTips #BusinessGrowth # #BusinessStrategy #GrowYourBusiness #BusinessAdvice #Business #GrowYourBusiness #Leaders #CEO ---------- Like, comment, and subscribe for more expert advice on business strategy, leadership, and scaling your business. ---------- Want to learn how to produce a winning business strategy and profitably grow your business?
