Powerhouse Karen Matthews joins me today as we discuss getting to the head and the heart of business and her no BS approach to leadership and business turnaround strategies. 

With over 2 decades of experience, Karen’s business transformation success stories include Ella Bache, Freedom, Guess and Myer. She has been recognised with awards including Telstra NSW Business Woman of the Year, PWC NSW Franchise Woman of the Year and PWC National Franchise Woman of the Year.

Karen now leads her own consultancy and works with ambitious businesses who understand that in order to grow and remain relevant, they must change and let go of outdated models and thought processes that hold them back. 

In this episode, we talk about:
Karen’s love for marrying business with emotional, brand driven retail
Her no BS approach to marketing 
Karen’s 3 part process to transformation: 
Reality check of where your business is at right now
Deciding and acting on the most important issues and developing an implementation plan
Making it stick. Changing the business process so that your business is responsive and dynamic 
The extensive work Karen did to transform Ella Bache, harnessing the brand and developing systems that worked across the board. 

We also dive into some of the wisdom from Karen’s recent book, “Demystifying the Road to Change”, the critical need for communication and so much more.

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.
