Ep.169: Small Business is Where It’s At, Leadership and Impact as a Business of One, with Emma Friendship-Kilburn | Leadership podcasts

Leading with integrity: Leadership talk

"SMEs are where it's at" If you're looking for the best place to make an individual impact, as a leader, founder, or team-member, small business is the place to be. This month on Leading with Integrity I'm talking exclusively to solopreneurs, freelancers, businesses of one. First up is a wonderful conversation with Emma Friendship-Kilburn of EmmPower Sales & Marketing.

We discuss the key ingredients of a successful business, particularly commitment, health, and strategy, the unique challenges faced by solopreneurs and small business owners, the need for effective leadership and the value of surrounding oneself with talented individuals.

Emma shares her personal journey into entrepreneurship, her passion for helping small businesses, and the dynamics of leadership in an SME environment. We also discuss the evolving definition of leadership, particularly in the context of burnout and mental health, and what we've each learned from inspirational leaders.
