Jillian MacLean

Today my guest is Jillian Maclean. Jillian is the founder and CEO of Drake & Morgan, a bar and restaurant group with landmark locations across London, and Manchester.

Jillian has received several industry accolades for her work with Drake & Morgan, which she launched in 2008 and in 2013, she was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, for services to the hospitality industry.

In the Podcast We talk about how Jillian saved her business from bankruptcy and how the pandemic has savaged the hospitality industry leading to widespread PTSD amongst its leaders.

We discuss, self-compassion, kindness, creating headspace, and the virtues of the Maclean clan.

We debate CEO retreats, inspiring leaders and the new skills required for future success.

Jillian talks about her triggers, her fears, creativity and innovation and we receive a couple of visits from my dog Doogie who managed to steal items from Jillian’s bag.

This was another fascinating interview about workplace compassion and self-compassion, and I was bowled over by Jillian’s enthusiasm and the importance she places on kindness in her business and her life.
