  Episode #14

  The Italian business lessons that make work 20% easier.

  Sep 28, 20269 minS2

  What if the fastest way to grow your business is to make it 20% easier to run? Host Liz Hamlet (Growth Strategist, Coach and Speaker) turns her recent trip to Puglia into a challenge for founders and leaders: stop chasing more, and start building a business and life you actually want to live inside. Drawing on the Italian refusal to treat everything like an emergency, she explores why more revenue, more content, and more activity can create more noise... not more progress. Instead, she makes the case for space, simplicity, and deliberate choices that protect your energy and sharpen your thinking. In this episode, you'll discover how to bring more of "La Dolce Vita" into your leadership and entrepreneur life, why stepping away can spark better ideas, how to stop treating every opportunity like a fire drill, and why "fewer, better" priorities can beat a list of half-finished tasks. Liz also shares a simple question to help you find your next strategic move: What would make this 20% easier? Want a clearer, more strategic next move each week?

  Episode #12

  When Being Visible Feels Impossible.

  Aug 17, 20268 minS2

  What Visibility Really Means for Founders and Leaders. Visibility gets talked about like it is a marketing problem. Post more. Share more. Get more followers. Show up more. But for founders and leaders, it's actually a leadership issue. In this solo episode, Liz Hamlet, Business Growth Strategist and Coach, explores why so many smart, capable people resist being visible, and why the goal isn't to be seen by everyone. It is to be known for something specific. We get into the difference between attention and influence, the fear of judgment that often sits underneath visibility resistance, and how to make your thinking available without turning yourself into an online personality. In this episode: Why visibility is a leadership issue, not just a marketing one The better question than "How do I get more visible?" Why follower counts and views aren't the same as influence What it actually means to be strategically visible Why 500 relevant people can matter more than 50,000 followers The difference between being loud and being someone people seek out What we're really afraid of when we say we don't want to be visible Why fear of judgment can quietly make business decisions for you Visibility without self-promotion, performance or oversharing Why making your thinking available can be one of the most useful things you do When keeping your point of view hidden isn't actually humility Why you don't need to become an "online personality" to build influence The strategic question: What do you want to be known for? Why consistency of thought beats trying to be everywhere Because visibility isn't about becoming more visible to everyone. It is about becoming more recognisable to the right people. START NOW.

  What Solopreneurs Get Right that Corporate Leaders Forget... and vice versa!

  Aug 14, 202610 minS2

  Most founders and corporate leaders are making the same mistake: they confuse motion with strategy. Liz Hamlet reveals why the smartest businesses do less, choose better, and build a rhythm that actually moves the needle. Drawing on her experience in both corporate leadership and solopreneurship, Liz breaks down the five lessons each side can steal from the other - and why that cross-pollination matters more than ever. If you are juggling too many ideas, stuck in annual planning cycles, or waiting for perfect certainty before you act, this episode gives you a sharper way forward. You'll discover: Why busyness can hide a lack of strategic clarity The founder mindset corporates need to move faster with less certainty The questions that expose weak ideas before you waste time on them How to turn strategy from a once-a-year event into a weekly, monthly, and quarterly habit Why even solo businesses need systems, collaboration, and boundaries so you do not become the bottleneck Liz also tackles a hard question many solopreneurs avoid: have you built a business, or accidentally created a demanding job for yourself? Her answer is practical, direct, and designed to help you make better choices with the time and energy you already have. This episode is essential listening if you are a founder, solopreneur, or corporate leader who wants to trade overwhelm for clarity. Liz Hamlet is a business growth strategist, coach, and speaker who helps ambitious people find strategic calm and make their next best move. Ready for your next strategic move?

  How to Spark Success

  The Best Leaders don't have all the answers.

  Aug 7, 20264 min

  The best leaders don't win by having all the answers. They win by asking the one question everyone else is too close to see. Liz Hamlet (Strategic Business Growth expert, strategist and coach. Founder of Spark Succeed Coaching & Consulting Ltd) makes the case for a leadership shift that changes everything: stop chasing more information and start using better questions to uncover what is hiding in plain sight. If you lead a team, run a business, or keep getting stuck in "we need more data" mode, this episode gives you a sharper way forward. Liz shares why senior leaders often mistake certainty for progress, how being "in the weeds" blocks perspective, and why the most effective leaders walk into the room curious instead of trying to prove they are the smartest person there. She breaks down the idea of "seeing the unseen," reading between the lines, and hearing what is not being said. You'll discover: Why "more research" is often just a disguised form of delay The difference between information and perspective Three questions that can immediately change the quality of your decisions Why teams so often solve the wrong problem brilliantly How to spot assumptions that are quietly steering your strategy The episode also gives you a simple end-of-week reflection you can use with yourself, your team, or your clients to uncover the question you have been avoiding. Sometimes the breakthrough is not a better answer. It is a better question. Essential listening if you are a founder, executive, manager, or ambitious operator who wants to lead with more clarity, make faster decisions, and create real movement instead of endless discussion.
