As we come to the end of another busy year we often stop and reflect on the busy-ness of these times. One of my personal go-to reflections comes from 2 interviews I did - one with Dr Kellie Pritchard Peshek and the other with Kate Christe on the how to identify (and recover from) burnout. So I brought their interviews together for a timely reminder to us all that we need to take better care of ourselves. Dr Kellie gives the clearest definition of burnout (what it is and isn't) and Kate shares generously her story once she was on the other side (simply inspirational) . Both leave you with their top strategies for managing yourself and avoiding hitting that burnout wall. You will be inspired to search more after these conversations - go and check out this resource to help you: https://www.bravefeminineleadership.com/Balance-Your-Brave

Welcome to Interview three in the 6-part CEO Series Visionary Voices where I explore the CEO Mindset and path to success. Carolyn Cresswell CEO & Founder of Carman's Kitchen, proves you can have a multinational business, love what you do and genuinely balance all the spinning plates. Carolyn is the ultimate "Multiplying" leader, ensuring her team have what they need to succeed (including discretionary decision-making), enabling her to focus on the areas she adds the most value - strategy and product! Carolyn shares so many pivotal moments in her truly successful growth story. I loved our conversations, rich in advice and her playbook should be devoured by executives of all levels. If Carolyn's success were an equation it is the sum of perseverance + strategic planning + hiring very good people + creating a supportive work environment x having a rich non-work life.
Enjoy this fabulous conversation.
