How to Lead, Grow Your Career and Why People Matter – With Neil Lawrence
Amazing conversation with Neil Lawrence for episode 153 of the podcast. Sure, he's got an amazing career story (former top man at Jewson, where I worked), but what really got me was how much of what he shared applies to... well, everything in life!
You know those conversations where someone drops wisdom that makes you think "I wish I'd known this years ago"? That's exactly what happened here.
# # The life lessons that really stuck with me:
💡 How to handle difficult people (whether it's your boss, your neighbour, or that person at the school gates!)
💡 Building genuine relationships that actually last
💡 Why being honest and putting people first works in every situation
💡 Dealing with setbacks and bouncing back stronger
💡 The power of just being yourself, even when it feels risky
Neil's got this brilliant way of talking about leadership, but honestly? It's really about being a better human being. The way he handles conflict, builds trust, and stays grounded - it's stuff we can all use whether we're dealing with work stress, family drama, or just trying to navigate life's curveballs.
Plus, his humour and down-to-earth approach had me laughing out loud. Sometimes the best life advice comes from people who've been through it all and can still crack a joke! 😂
Whether you're juggling work and family, dealing with difficult relationships, or just want to feel more confident in how you handle life's challenges, this conversation is pure gold.
Give it a listen - I guarantee you'll come away with something that'll make your day-to-day a bit easier.
