In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges facing business owners, managers, and CEOs: moving from the chaos of today into a clear, focused growth strategy. Our guest, Sonya, Founder and Director of EOX Business Partners and Deputy CEO, joins Lyn Hawkins, National Director of Business Women Australia to help unravel the complexity that holds leaders back.
Whether it’s constant firefighting, revenue instability, team capacity issues, or the difficulty of accessing capital — Sonya helps leaders step back, reflect, and see the bigger picture. Like a trusted co-pilot, she supports business leaders in identifying the priority pieces of their growth puzzle: the right people in the right roles, streamlined processes, and empowered leadership teams.
Sonya shares how she brings clarity to the table, carving out space for strategic thinking and driving implementation with a practical, human approach. Known for her ability to navigate tough conversations and connect authentically, Sonya brings her deep expertise and lived experience to help businesses create actionable roadmaps — and actually stick to them.
In this episode, we explore:
What’s really stopping businesses from growing (and it’s not just about money).
How leaders can step back without stepping away.
Why capacity and clarity are the real game changers.
The importance of team structure, empowerment, and accountability.
How Sonya helps CEOs turn vision into results — without burning out.
This is a must-listen for CEOs, founders, and managers who feel stretched too thin and know they need to shift gears — but aren’t sure where to start.
