Episode five with Helen Thacker is all about the importance of having the right sales strategy (hint: it doesn't involve a laptop on a beach!) taking big leaps and the importance of mentors, particularly those close to home.
We analyse the importance of authenticity and finding our unique selling points in business. Helen shares her leadership challenges and the need for resilience, flexibility, and adaptability as well as the importance of achieving work-life balance and the impact of social media on mental health.

Welcome to episode four where Helen and I discuss Imposter Syndrome, negative self-talk and mum guilt! We also delve into leadership journeys and key milestones, personal transformation and self-awareness, learning from experience and how we aim for work-life harmony.
Through her company, Gingerhead, Helen aims to inspire women to run successful businesses while maintaining flexibility in their work. Helen also shares her perspective on personal growth and self-awareness, gratitude, and overcoming the need for external validation.
She has had great mentors in her life and I get the feeling that this inspiring lady has a lot more creative genius and innovation to come. She really is a girl on fire.
