This week, Khadija is keeping it real with Linda Plant, one of Lord Sugar's most trusted and respected colleagues, and a regular fixture on BBC's The Apprentice as part of the now infamous “Interview Week” Linda has joined the show to discuss the new business landscape and how business leaders can do their part to restore confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS * It's crucial in today's climate for business leaders to provide reassurance and creativity, in order to help, inspire, and provide valuable resources for those in need of direction. * Formal education has its place, but the real entrepreneurs are the ones who have taught themselves. Business acumen does not come from the page, but real experience. * The smartest way of being in business is to keep the costs low and focus on the tangible benefits, instead of trying to look as though you're part of the wealthy set. * No one should be counted out because of their age. On the contrary, the older generation have lived through recessions, hardships, success and invention, and should be embraced in the business world. BEST MOMENTS 'No jargon - just true grit business knowhow' 'Sometimes us ice-queens really do have to let our guards down!' 'The smartest way to do business is to be as tight as' 'Success doesn't have a barrier' VALUABLE RESOURCES Keeping it Real with Khadija Podcast [https://omny.fm/shows/keep-it-real-with-khadija/playlists/podcast]   Linda Plant Twitter - https://twitter.com/LindaBPlant [https://twitter.com/LindaBPlant?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor] Linda Plant Academy - https://lindaplant.com [https://lindaplant.com/] To learn more about Linda's Business Blueprint course visit - https://lindaplant.com/products/business-blueprint-course [https://lindaplant.com/products/business-blueprint-course] ABOUT THE HOST Keep it real with Khadija is an interview-based podcast hosted by Khadija Kalifa.

Linda Plant Business Academy

Since finding fame as one of Lord Sugar's respected interviewers on The Apprentice, Linda Plant has gone on to create a specialised business success course, designed to empower anyone wishing to bring a new idea to market, and to provide guidance on how to successfully run a company. In this week's show, Linda discusses the beliefs that have led her to sharing her experience in this way, and how you can benefit from such an incredible and insightful course of guidance! KEY TAKEAWAYS * Voices such as Linda's are an empowering way to engender trust back into the market, following the negative effects of the COVID lockdown. Businesses should not be scared, and need to be energised. * Business education is only a part of what people need in order to succeed. There is a wealth of experience that comes from on-the-job business training that education simply cannot provide. * Never feel that your time is over just because of your age. You have experience and knowledge that younger generations cannot hope to gain yet. * The value of mentorship is incalculable. An outside perspective from a seasoned business brain can reveal issues or even constructive strategies that you may not have considered. BEST MOMENTS ‘I think I can give back to a lot of people' ‘You can't learn what is in my course, in university or college' ‘Own your age!' ‘It's good to dream big' VALUABLE RESOURCES Keeping it Real with Khadija Podcast [https://omny.fm/shows/keep-it-real-with-khadija/playlists/podcast]   Linda Plant Twitter - https://twitter.com/LindaBPlant [https://twitter.com/LindaBPlant?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor] Linda Plant Academy - https://lindaplant.com [https://lindaplant.com/] To learn more about Linda's Business Blueprint course visit - https://lindaplant.com/products/business-blueprint-course [https://lindaplant.com/products/business-blueprint-course] ABOUT THE HOST Keep it real with Khadija is an interview-based podcast hosted by Khadija Kalifa.

The Secret Of Great Leadership – with Stephen Kelly, ex-CEO of Sage

Stephen Kelly's incredible journey through business has seen him head up some of the world's most successful companies. As the ex-CEO of Sage, and Micro Focus International, Stephen has led some of the most powerful and influential businesses in history, and by doing so has changed the way we work and think. Stephen joins Khadija today to discuss his fascinating business career, his philosophies on leadership, and the new governmental roles that have seen him contribute to the many ways in which UK businesses are now able to compete on an international level. KEY TAKEAWAYS * If you feel that you are the natural fit for a role in any company, then nothing is stopping you from doing your research, and writing directly to the CEO of that business in order to let them know. Obey the voice in your head and don't be afraid to ask. * Honesty and straightforwardness are often misconstrued as outspokenness and aggression. Never be afraid of a reputation, as they're often wrong. * There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the work/life balance. It is a question of organising priorities and deciding whether the sacrifices required are conducive to your life at that time. * One of the greatest things a leader can achieve is to ensure that our teams are encouraged to exceed their potential, and to be happy and comfortable with who they are. * Building a bond of trust with our customers is as simple as going that extra mile in order to make them feel valued. We must never underestimate the importance of the personal touch. BEST MOMENTS ‘I've achieved more than I could ever have imagined' ‘What we need to do is be bolder and back ourselves, and be true to ourselves' ‘As a leader, you need to try and do the right thing every day, and support your people' ‘What strikes me about the great leaders is their humility and authenticity' ‘We want to make every single one of these amazing customers able to sleep well at night and know that they can trust us' VALUABLE RESOURCES Keeping it Real with Khadija Podcast [https://omny.fm/shows/keep-it-real-with-khadija/playlists/podcast]   Stephen Kelly LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenkellyceo/?originalSubdomain=uk [https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenkellyceo/?originalSubdomain=uk] Stephen Kelly Twitter - https://twitter.com/SKellyCEO [https://twitter.com/SKellyCEO] ABOUT THE HOST Keep it real with Khadija is an interview-based podcast hosted by Khadija Kalifa.
