I was delighted to be joined by Alice Olins, Career Expert, Coach and Trainer, and the Founder of the Step Up Club, an organisation that works with individuals and teams to help them fulfil potential, navigate and embrace change.

This was an impactful conversation with Alice where we explored change and how small businesses can best navigate it.

🌟 Some of the most interesting elements were:

✅How, leadership through communication and openness is such an important part of successful change;

✅The importance of having a deep understanding of the stakeholders or the people involved in any change;

✅During times of change, be the Leader where people follow your vision, not because you’re telling them to, but because they really believe in you as a person;

✅The value of appointing change agents within the company to help activate change and mitigate some of the barriers that inevitably come up through the process;

✅The importance of making sure there are points in the timeline where you stop, measure and articulate where you are at in the lifecycle of the project to maintain the impetus.

Agreeing to sell your agency is not the finish line. Due diligence is the buyer's verification process, and most founders underestimate how long it takes, how much of their time it absorbs, and how stressful it is to get through unprepared.
