How would you best describe your podcast? What is the show about?
The People Powered Business Podcast is the show for business owners, leaders and managers who want to better understand their employees, create high performing teams and know how to handle even the toughest staffing headache.
Creating a great team of high performing, motivated super stars can at times be challenging.
Join us each week as we dive in to uncover what makes people tick, learn the best strategies and tactics to build your amazing team and most importantly discover how you, the business owner or leader can unleash the power of your people to help create the successful business you deserve.
If you employ staff, engage contractors or rely on people to help deliver your products or services, this is the podcast for you.

Why did you decide to start a podcast?
I was looking for a way to reach more people and share the knowledge I have around the people aspect of running and leading a business. I find talking a lot more natural than writing blogs and articles, so it was an easier way for me to do this than other written methods of getting a message out there.

How does your podcast support your business activity? Or is it a separate, hobby project?
The podcast is part of our broader content strategy and is the core for new content creation, with other content being created out of this. It is alsoKrist part of our broader strategy of growing our audience, so is also an audience building/ lead generation strategy.
What advice would you offer women who are thinking about starting their own podcast?
The key pieces of advice I would have are:
- Know your key purpose for starting the podcast, if you are not clear on that it will be harder to keep up momentum;
- If you are comfortable with verbally communicating your message this can be a great addition to your business communication strategy;
- Allow plenty of time, podcasting does take some time;
- Get help with the parts that you’re not comfortable with – ie the tech if that’s not your thing.
