BBY Show S10 Ep9: Raise your hand with Susi Knight

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cultivate resilience by raising your hand and pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone.

Leadership is about learning to delegate and trust others so that we create empowerment and collaboration rather than keeping control.

Prioritising self-reliance and financial independence provides you with the freedom and flexibility to pursue your passions.

As you navigate different careers and experiences, understanding that your perceived expertise will shift helps you to evolve your personal brand and remain authentically you.
