Today I’m chatting with the spectacular Mel Williams. Mel finds practical and creative ways for businesses and individuals to diversify, grow and maximise their potential. She is guided by a growth mindset in facilitating marketing and partnership collaborations across leading tier-1 brands, NGOs and not for profits. 

 

In this episode, Mel is taking us through building connections for growth. She shares how her 20 years of experience building and leading sales and marketing growth initiatives has helped her develop a strong skill in identifying opportunities for growth.

 

With a unique ability to see through the clutter and discover hidden opportunities, Mel finds what makes the most sense (not necessarily what’s the most popular) and works it through from a financial perspective to ensure that it will deliver. 

 

There is so much power and potential from building a good collaboration. Mel takes us through her top 3 tips for growing strategic partnerships and connections. 

 

Remember, don’t overcomplicate partnerships. If Nanna can’t understand it, nobody will understand it. 

 

Mel discusses taking on a role with the grants committee for the children’s charity, Variety. They support approximately 80,000 children around Australia each year who are experiencing disadvantage, disability or illness. It is one of the best things Mel has ever done and is very close to her heart. 

 

I’m so grateful to have Mel on the show today to share her expertise, experience and inspiration. You’ll take away so much value from her journey and her knowledge on building positive connections for growth and collaboration in life and business.

Want to know the secret to confident and successful leadership?

Every week, Leading You showcases leadership of all kinds and you get the scoop on how to be an effective, modern leader who makes an impact.

There’s one thing we all have in common. We’re all leaders. First and foremost, you’re a leader of you. You don’t need a title to be a leader. Leadership is a mindset which anyone can adopt to create influence. The more leaders the world has, the better it will be.

I'll let you into something I know to be true - You can’t be a leader of others unless you’re a leader of self first. So if you want to have impact that leads to prosperity and happiness, it all starts with you. With your mindset and personal leadership toolbox, which Leading You will help you build up.

Leading you is hosted by Julie Hyde, an entrepreneur, corporate drop out and passionate leader. Julie knows one thing: you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you respond. It’s why Leading You is important.

Each week, guests share their secret sauce. They reveal their roadmaps to success. How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.
