It's a People Thing

In today’s episode, I'm calling out three so-called “rules” we’ve all been sold when it comes to growing our businesses, and gently but firmly showing you why they’re not only not non-negotiable, but may actually be blocking your growth as well as draining your energy.

This one brings it home. We’re talking about simplifying, not as a step back, but as a bloody bold move t...

I share the thoughts and questions that have been circling my mind as I prepare to step in...

Gill shares: The subtle signs of burnout that might be creeping in Why it’s not your fa...
