Sharesz is one of the top 50 global women to look out for in 2023 and is also the author of Success Mindsets, a book that focuses on how to harness your attitude, thought process and approach to find success in your life.

Sharesz joins Andrea to talk about how to find and build resilience as a leader and the impact this can have on company culture and business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sharesz believes that it is up to us what we do with our 24 hours and if we focus and are open to always being uncomfortable enough to learn we can achieve anything.
• Most people do not get things handed to them, you have to look for and grab the opportunities you can yourself.
• If you can establish a common language within a team, and follow defined processes and systems this creates alignment and reduces conflict and friction.
• Self-regulation skills are about engineering an outcome that you want to achieve.
• It’s difficult to not engage your emotions when making decisions. If you can become self-aware you can then recognise your emotions and take steps to manage them.

• Once you know yourself and have self-awareness you can lead others more effectively

• A skilled communicator can master both deductive and inductive communication
• You must align your team behind the same purpose, to create engagement and ownership to all members.
