  • Balance the Board Conference 2025: Belief is Your Superpower: Jeannette Linfoot's Framework for Brave Bold Brilliant Growth
    Oct 10 2025
    Live from the Balance The Board conference in 2025, Jeannette delivers a powerful message on on how to successfully scale a business, acknowledging that 70% of scale-ups fail despite strong ambition. Her core message introduces a Belief Framework—an inside job starting with the individual—to ensure leaders are in the best possible shape to lead themselves, their teams, and their businesses You'll hear how: Successful scaling-up requires focusing on three foundational elements: leading yourself (the inside job), leading your teams (creating a winning, psychologically safe environment), and leading the business (securing maximum impact). The Belief Framework is a simple, six-part formula for personal readiness: Bravery, Energy, Love, Influences, Execution, and Failure. Leaders must put their own oxygen mask on first, as energy and self-care are crucial for maintaining the high-energy, positive outlook required for scaling, especially during challenging times. Scaling requires courage: it's not always going to work, and if you're not failing (and learning from it), you're staying in your comfort zone—the goal is to fail your way to greatness Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

  • The CEO’s Hidden Advantage - Why Mentorship Beats Experience Alone
    Oct 3 2025
    In this conversation, Jeannette emphasises the critical role of mentorship in achieving success, arguing that hard work and experience alone are insufficient. She discusses the limitations of relying solely on personal experience and highlights how mentorship can accelerate growth, provide valuable perspectives, and open doors to new opportunities. You'll hear why: Hard work and experience are not enough for success. Mentorship is the CEO's hidden advantage. Experience teaches after mistakes; mentorship teaches before. Mentorship compresses decades of learning into days. Good mentors challenge you and hold you accountable. Mentorship can come from various sources, not just formal relationships. The best mentorships are reciprocal and evolve over time. Giving back through mentorship creates a ripple effect.

  • Seasons of Entrepreneurship Harnessing Renewal for Your Next Big Leap
    Sep 26 2025
    Jeannette discusses the "seasons of entrepreneurship," drawing a parallel between the natural cycles of nature and the business world. She shares a personal story of burnout and exhaustion after a big project, which led her to the realisation that constant hustle is not a sustainable path to success. Instead, she advocates for recognising and embracing different seasons—growth (spring/summer) and rest/renewal (autumn/winter)—as essential for long-term health and growth You'll hear why: Ignoring the need for rest can lead to burnout, creative blocks, and stalled growth, much like a marathon runner who doesn't recover A sense of feeling drained, a lack of motivation, creative inspiration drying up, and a feeling of just "going through the motions" are all subtle indicators that you may be in a season of renewal To lean into a renewal season, you can schedule intentional breaks, delegate tasks that drain your energy, use the time for learning and planning without pressure to perform Sustainable success is not a straight line but a cycle of growth and rest. By embracing these seasons, entrepreneurs can avoid burnout, stay motivated, and build stronger, more resilient businesses.
