Are you motivating your team enough? Take the time to find out each of the employees’ ambitions and then help them gain the skills they need to get there.

“A little support goes a long way.” No words have ever held so true. For those who are starting a business, having someone come up to me and say, “I see what you’re doing with Rooted Connections and I think it’s so impactful and necessary”, is the best encouragement. There are an unbelievable amount of unanswered messages, emails and calls, but I keep trying. I believe in what I’ve built. I believe in the future of female leaders in my industry. #RootedConnections #leadership

Try challenging your own assumptions and support diverse leaders at all levels. #Leadership #InclusiveLeadership #BreakingBiases

In the spirit of my own advice, I am resharing this IoD post with the image where I am reminding people that self promotion is as important as hard work. The irony is not lost on me! I think not taking yourself too seriously is also an important skill which I forgot to mention in the interview!
