Growing your team in business can be exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding. It can also be challenging, frustrating, and overwhelming at times when things go wrong and you need to manage people moving on.

Over the years I have seen many businesses crash and burn as a result of the business owners simply not having the time (or mental bandwidth) to take care of absolutely everything in the business. Things fall through the cracks and over time, this leaves the business susceptible to pit-falls and risk.

In a business setting, as unavoidable as it is, there is so much we can do to come out of disputes unscarred (and even sometimes with a new friend!). I believe that our reactions, preparation, and communication can change the course of our business, and lives, in a BIG way.

‘Prevention is better than cure’. I can see you nodding, yet so many of us still find ourselves ruining our new designer handbag by not taking time to apply a leather protection treatment before we excitedly take it out for drinks…

Business legals are sexy! Yes, you read that right. Business legals are sexy. There’s nothing quite like tailored and strong terms and conditions; a sophisticated privacy policy; or a confident contract. In this blog I break down the key documents needed to make your business legals sexy!

Professionalism being reflected in a business’ documents is an area that I am particularly passionate about. I explore this more in this blog.

If nothing else, the events of 2020 so far have meant that the time is gone where business owners can dismiss concerns by saying ‘it won’t happen to me’ or ‘I’ll deal with it later’.

Starting a business is much like starting a relationship – the right time is when it feels right, and when you are so passionate about it that you just can’t wait.

By focusing on the things we can control (our actions) rather than the things we can’t (such as what is going on in the world right now), we can make objective decisions and often navigate our way through uncertainty.

In a world where the meaning of success has become so fundamentally skewed, it is so rewarding to be taking steps to redefine what this means for women in workplace culture.

In business, there will always be unexpected things that happen. Despite best intentions, things can go wrong from time to time. Often these things catch you off guard, making the situation uncomfortable and unsettling.
