Ep 90 How to stay RELEVANT in times of TURBULENCE with ANDREW JENNINGS
Welcome back to Good Vibes Only and today's special episode! (Before I get going…my course for my fellow female entrepreneurs to get your marketing & sales aligned with yourself, is OPEN now! Read the details and secure your spot, before they're all gone, here: https://www.annakuusela.com/The-Serve-Experience) Okay so indeed, welcome to today's episode with a super special guest, my mentor Mr. Andrew Jennings. Andrew is a retail veteran with nearly 50 (!!!) years of experience in a variety of leadership positions across huge retail brands, such as Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue and Karstadt. I initially met Andrew while I still worked in consulting and I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew on several occasions. Why I wanted to bring Andrew to GVO is that not only am I inspired by him each time we meet but I truly admire his approach to life, his mindset and gusto how he approaches everything. After listening to this episode I'm sure you can feel some of his special energy! In the episode we talk about the importance of passion, why confidence is key, what (really) makes Andrew happy, how he keeps thriving, and how he's experienced failures in his life. Talking to Andrew makes me think…if there's even some of that mindset I can emit…I'm going to have a very fulfilling and successful life!
