If you want to finally start working smart instead of hard - and give your own boss the lowdown on the business benefits - this episode is for you.

My stint working closely with Arabella and Mark was an essential part of my journey toward self-employment and crucially - putting an end to being a workaholic.
My three key takeaways
- Good work comes from the quality of judgement, not the quantity of output
- We are at our most impactful when we understand our unique strengths and play to them - when we truly just be ourselves
- I need to be aware of the pros and cons of the 'Professional leader' traits within me - such as ownership, perfectionism and my strength in managing expectations
