Business Essentials

Preparing for the future of work. Plus: Confidence at work

What if the key to a stronger business – and a stronger team – is actually making them less dependent on you? In this week’s episode, we explore what happens when business owners and leaders step back, creating organisations that can thrive without relying on one person to drive them forward.

First up, Simon Bedard – Managing Director of Exit Advisory Group and author of Exit Like an Expert – explains why reducing owner dependence can create a more valuable, enjoyable business and give owners greater freedom, whether they sell soon or not.

Then, leadership specialist and Director of Bluestone Edge, Errol Amerasekera, explores why leaders don’t need all the answers. Drawing on his book From Fear to Flow: The Adaptive Safety Revolution, Errol shares practical ways to build adaptive teams by encouraging curiosity, vulnerability and diverse ideas – helping teams develop the confidence and capability to navigate rapid change.

Building a business that runs without you - and a team that adapts

Think great networkers are naturally confident? Think again. Lifelong introvert Nick Bendel challenged himself to have lunch with 500 complete strangers – and discovered that confidence doesn’t come before taking action, it comes from taking action.

In this week's episode, drawing from his new book The 500 Lunches Effect, the corporate trainer and keynote speaker shares practical ways to make networking less awkward, build genuine connections and develop your “social courage”.

Then, PR consultant, visibility mentor and author of What You Came Here to Create Bec Sands explains how to get your business noticed without chasing a huge audience or becoming a self-promotion machine. From focusing on your ideal clients to choosing one channel and showing up consistently, she offers a simple approach to building visibility and credibility – even when putting yourself out there feels uncomfortable.
