In this episode, I'm exploring the idea of generosity in business and why giving your time, energy or expertise can sometimes be the very thing that helps you attract clients organically. I share examples ...

We’ll talk about: • The hidden impact of feeling like an outsider • Introversion and business growth • Why big rooms aren’t the only way to create visibility • Choosing spaces th...

You’ll hear about: Why consistency is so difficult when the...
