Show Notes

This year was my 15th in business.

Over this time my business has evolved and grown significantly. But looking back, I think it’s perhaps myself who has grown, and therefore my business along with me.

I remember my ‘Why’ when I started, was simply to be able to ‘keep my hand in’ while I took a career break to raise my 5-month-old baby. That baby is about to turn 16 and has recently started her own career in finance!

As we come to the end of the year, I started reflecting on how my year has gone. Which prompted me to also start reflecting on my biggest lessons from the last 15 years.

Believing that knowledge is only powerful when shared, I thought here on the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast (soon to be rebranded: The Art of Value Whispering) is the perfect place to share these lessons.

As you can imagine, I've learned a LOT over the last 15 years. So I've divided my lessons over two episodes.

Today, I'll be sharing my biggest insights and advice for getting things done and staying sane - so you can have an impact that you become known for and feel proud of.

"Knowing what’s right for you, also helps you lean into your intuition and feel what’s right. Making decision-making easier too." - Melitta Campbell

Lessons Shared in Today's Episode:

  • Simplicity is Powerful - my techniques for finding the simplest way to get things done.
  • How your Productivity Tools will evolve with your season of life and business.
  • My 3-Part grading system for tasks, that will save you HOURS!!!
  • The secret to feeling confident and motivated so you can do your best work.
  • What to do when you feel stuck or overwhelmed.
  • What a Success Circle is and why you need one.
  • And why your Network is better than a Google search.

"A strong network is one of the best assets you can create. You never know what opportunities it will bring you, but I promise you they will be worth all the time and effort you’ve put in, and some!" - Melitta Campbell

Podcast Rebrand in 2024

In 2024, the Driven Female Entrepreneur podcast will become The Art of Value Whispering

It will include more great content, practical advice to help you grow your business, and master your mindset from myself and other successful founders and thought leaders.

However, it will have more focus on how to meaningfully market your business and master self-leadership so that, even if you have a quieter personality, you can thrive in business and have an impact you feel proud of.

More news on this exciting rebrand coming soon!

For a sneak peek of what's to come, see The Art of Value Whispering newsletter on LinkedIn.
