Listen to the end of this podcast to hear how we can increase your confidence and clarity as you grow your business, charity or project. —- This is our first RoundTable podcast; a little bit different to our usual weekly bite-sized interviews or thematic specials. always possible RoundTables are informal conversations between group of invited subject specialists and entrepreneurs ad artists from across the always possible member network. In this session, Cat Rose chairs a conversation about how to run a values-led business (without wearing your heart on your sleeve) and what that actually means. How do small businesses retain their values as they get bigger - or bought out by larger firms? Does shouting about your values give you a competitive edge, or make you appear pompous? Are core values the driver for progressive organisations wherever you go, or are cities with large numbers of social enterprises and values-led campaigns - like Brighton and Bristol - operating in a liberal bubble that the rest of the country simply doesn’t care about? Are values political? And are they absolutely critical or just nice to have? Joining Cat are Tracey Allen, founder and director of Sea PR - a communications agency specialising in socially-driven businesses; Lisa Westbury, a leadership development coach who mainly focuses on helping female entrepreneurs and executives break through the glass ceiling; Hesan Yousif, founder of Zazara Consulting - an IT support business with a very strong community agenda; and Sarah Nicolls - a musician, academic and inventor. --- Useful links: http://www.brilliantminds.co.uk/news/the-scarf-model http://www.sea-pr.com/ http://www.lisawestbury.com/ http://www.zazaraconsulting.co.uk/ --- If you enjoyed the conversation it would mean the world to us if you’d leave a review on iTunes.
