This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Amy Power. The two talk about how Amy’s entrepreneurial spirit was influenced by her grandmother’s small business, including the challenges and rewards of growing a company from freelance work to owning office space, and her innovative way of empowering her team and encouraging future businesswomen.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
How the company grew from a solo freelance operation to a team with its own Dallas office space, eventually owning its building.
-
What surprised Amy most about leadership especially the significance of relinquishing total control and empowering her team to step up and lead from their own strengths.
-
When Amy found the courage to pivot from employment to entrepreneurship.
-
Why embracing failure as a valuable teacher, rather than fearing mistakes, is a core value for Amy and her organization.
-
The impact of mentoring and developing other businesswomen within her company, and seeing their journeys both within and beyond her organization.
Amy Power, CEO of The Power Group
