This episode is for you — if you have found yourself learning all the business strategies and it hasn’t worked for YOU. Or if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by all the strategies that are available and don’t know where to start. We dive into why women from positions of prestige favour strategy over identity when they start their businesses but why it needs to be the other way around as strategy without identity is futile. “The real problem — is when you go for strategy without looking at the identity piece. Yet how can you nail your niche or know who your ideal client is when you don’t yet know, who you are or what your business stands for?” - Lulu Minns This week on She Rebel Radio : Why business strategies and processes may not be working for you I share two crucial pieces of identity that helped me root my business Why women leaving prestigious positions have to reconnect with their identity The idea of transitional stress coupled with the bombardment of marketing strategies leading to overwhelm The homogenisation of the online business space Why identity and discovering more of your inner essence will support you moving forward Resources : Discuss a breakout strategy day with me : https://luluminns.as.me/connectioncall Transitional Stress : https://steverosephd.com/transitional-stress-why-veterans-struggle-with- reintegration/ Join the She Rebellion!

During this episode, we discuss how Football teaches us some lessons as to why the game is representative of what is and has happened for women on a wider scale by being excluded from business.

During this episode, I share with you exactly why when leaving your prestigious position and starting your business of significance - you need to dial up your intuition and dial down your instinct. I highlight and illustrate the differences between these two things and why dialling up your intuition is essential. We explore why as women we can be hardwired for some instinctive behaviour that’s not beneficial to growing a business yet when we tune in with intuition -- its a super power we can actually leverage. We explore the core differences between Intuition and Instinct, how you can identify which one you are leading from and the different outcomes you can expect. “It’s important as women we are having a conscious conversation with ourselves in doing the opposite of what our instincts may tell us—dialling it right down. But when it comes to your intuition, make the space to listen to the super power you have as it will create a trail for you to step into your genius” - Lulu Minns This week on She Rebel Radio : Why your instinct will dial up when leaving your prestigious position Why intuition is where you actually want to lead from and a super power How intuition and instinct are different in nature The instincts women in business may need to conquer How you can identify Intuition vs Instinct The different outcomes you can expect when dialling up or down Resources : The Soul’s Brain : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Souls-Brain-Neurology-Intuition-Critters/dp/1401954677 Join the She Rebellion!

This week, former BBC producer, Confidence Speaker, Author and Personal Impact Expert : Esther Stanhope joins me as we say Goodbye to Glossophobia and banish the fear of public speaking. During the episode we explore the issues around Women being reluctant to speak up in public including in the boardroom, on stage and as a speaker in business. Esther shares her top tips for women and her experience as to why as women can be reluctant to show up as the expert. She also talks about why she left the BBC to start her own business and her initial reluctance to also speak up. “When it comes to communication and speaking up, you are never going to be 100% sure. So let’s make a pact now and just go for being 80% sure. My first tip is to say to yourself — I’m just going for 80% today” - Esther Stanhope This week on She Rebel Radio : The 60% phenomenon men need to speak up compared to 99-200% for women How to create the scene and stage for being in the spotlight Why it needs to be normal to see more women speaking up How we can mix power, warmth and our oddities to be an asset when speaking What you should be visualising instead of a ‘naked audience’ Power Posing and how you can use it (and what to wear) Why public speaking is both a formula and an art Esther’s advice for She Rebels : “If there is anything women need to do differently, we have to have a bit more courage. And use power mixed with warmth.

This week, Sara Osterholzer from the The Good Business Club joins me which is a membership network for people who run or support businesses that have a purpose beyond profit. We discuss how ‘doing good’ through business includes serving people authentically and using the structure of business to create positive change. During this episode Sara explains how she was inspired by businesses disrupting broken systems and we discuss what it takes to effectively start a ‘business for good’ and the challenges you are likely to face and overcome. And why its so important to surround yourself with likeminded people and communities. “A conversation can spark so much when speaking with the right kind of people. It can be a new opportunity or new way of seeing something which massively impacts the way you create your business” - Sara Osterholzer This week on She Rebel Radio : How we can “do good” though business and what it takes How sharing stories is important to inspire others Why you need to get clear on who your serving and what the need is The crucial element to starting a ‘business for good’ How to nail down what motivates you and to find meaning in your work Why its important to create a structure around your idea and to have support The common challenges and obstacles in starting a ‘business for good’ Why you need to stop holding onto your idea and to start sharing it instead Sara’s advice for She Rebels : “Without knowing who you trying to serve and what the need is — its difficult to build the framework you need “ - Sara Osterholzer Connect with Sara and the Good Business Club Website: www.thegoodbusinessclub.com Twitter: @TheGoodBizClub Instagram: @thegoodbizclub Facebook: @TheGoodBizClub LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/the-good-business-club/ Join the She Rebellion!

During this episode I discuss why we shouldn’t just be “retaining” women in prestigious positions and why we also need to support the brave women who are ready to exit those positions and create new platforms for success. We explore the reasons that have been given as to why women are leaving prestigious positions and how we have barely scratched the surface for the unconscious bias that exists for women in traditionally male dominated roles. I ask important questions around whether equality is enough and how do we begin to shape the world of prestige with more feminine based principles? “As women we are expected to fit into patriarchal versions of success. And we are expected to be contained within its structures, systems and it’s rules. It’s no wonder so many of us feel trapped, caged and suffocated.” - Lulu Minns This week on She Rebel Radio : I discuss my decision to exit the legal profession We explore the reasons why women are being called to leave prestigious positions which is not meeting the need for our significance and ambition Why we need to stop using the word “retain” and what it actually means The masculine shape of prestigious positions and unconscious bias that exists If asking for equality in prestige is really enough Why exclusion is the real key to diversity and essential for women How we must consider finding the space for feminine based principles and how entrepreneurship allows us to do that And why we must support women who are brave enough to exit those positions Resources : ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE: TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION THROUGH GREATER GENDER EQUALITY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN IN LAW REPORT Findings from the international women’s roundtables June 2019 https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/sites/files/oxlaw/advocating_for_change_-_international_women_in_law_report.pdf Network for Executive Women and Leadership Crisis Report https://www.newonline.org/ https://www.newonline.org/sites/default/files/files/NEW_Leadership_Crisis_Digitalv3.pdf BBC Women’s Hour Podcast : Women in the Legal Profession https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/womans-hour/id130950322?i=1000460543148 First 100 Years : Celebrating women in Law https://first100years.org.uk/ Book a Breakout Session with Lulu https://luluminns.as.me/breakoutsession Join the She Rebellion!

Founder of Blue Health Coaching, Ocean Activist and Blue Mind Award winner Lizzi Larbalestier joins me this week where she shares how water ripples through her purpose and how each of us can use blue environments to ask important questions about possibility, purpose and why each of us are here. During this episode, Lizzi explains how the ocean encourages us to slow our breathing whereby we become more aware and connected to our heart rhythm and body which enables us to make decisions from the entire nervous system. This allows us as humans to check in with our individual eco system and the wider one as well. We discuss how living in a digital world which values structure and certainty fuels the inability to make sensory decisions and navigate change effectively. “The beach is a space of continual transition. There is a lack of being static and that reminds us that change is constant “ - Lizzi Larbalestier This week on She Rebel Radio : Why as humans, we are built to connect with water. How you can use blue environments (even in urban areas) to ask questions about purpose, possibility and why you are here. How being at the beach allows for solitude and reflection and provides a strong formative, playful and restorative experience. How the beach causes us to slow down, be more open to exploring possibilities and ensures that our decision making becomes coherent and connected to the wider impact. How directed attention creates fatigue compared to soft fascination which opens up our entire nervous system. How the ocean automatically provides an environment for mindfulness. Lizzi’s advice for She Rebels : “When you stifle creativity, you become very conditioned to the way you respond to circumstances and that actually doesn’t allow for change” - Lizzi L Resources : Blue Mind https://www.wallacejnichols.org/122/bluemind.html Connect with Lizzie and her purposeful projects : https://goingcoastal.blue/ https://goingcoastal.blue/blue-health-coach-training/ https://goingcoastal.blue/blue-health-coach/ocean-advocacy/ghostnetbusters-aldfg/ http://www.bdmlr.org.uk/ https://www.sas.org.uk/rep/lizzi-larbalestier/   Join the She Rebellion!
