Ep.170: Your Startup Partner - Revolutionizing Business, Leadership and Management Through Kindness, with Lee Lam | Leadership podcasts

05/14/25 • 94 min

I'm very pleased to welcome back Your Startup Partner, Lee Lam, to Leading with Integrity. We talk about everything from Lee's journey from corporate career to solopreneur, to empathy and emotional intelligence in effective leadership. A lovely chat about business and leadership that takes us via topics like the shortcomings of traditional consulting practices, the challenges faced by small businesses, empowering teams, the evolving landscape of work and how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted emotional connections in the workplace. If you're a solopreneur, founder, or aspiring business owner, then I have 2 massive recommendations for you: 1. Listen to this episode, and more importantly, 2. Have a chat with Lee.

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

"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.

Ep.171: Being Yourself and Living Your Values – Leadership for Solopreneurs, with Daniel J. Moore | Leadership podcasts

I'm extremely glad to drop this week's episode with the branding mercenary himself, Daniel J. Moore. Dan is an incredible advocate of the solopreneur life, living your values, and being strategic with your brand. He's got some entertaining leadership stories to share. And he embodies (pretty much) everything he says. So this chat was more than great fun, it was also spot on for this month's theme, educational, and even inspirational in moments too.

A quick run-down of all the topics we covered: the significance of integrity in business, the journey of freelancing, the role of courage in branding, how to navigate the challenges of being a solopreneur, the power of storytelling, and the mistakes to avoid in business. The key theme of being true to oneself, your values, being yourself (we veered away from buzzwords where we could, but 'authenticity' would be the one to use here!) and the impact of personal experiences on professional growth.
