Amanda Spicer, Founder & COO of Your Eco:
Delivering the keynote at #EntreConfGo yesterday I couldn't help but reflect on the pivotal role mentorship has played not only in my journey but in the growth of our company. For young entrepreneurs, having a mentor who has battled through challenges and emerged on the other side is invaluable. I've been fortunate to learn from those who have had their fair share of ass kicking in the arena, gaining insights that are both profound and practical in our day to day running of our business.
Some takeaways:
💡 At Your Eco, we embrace the#Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement (translated good change) as your staff have the power to optimise your delivery if you work with them. Nick Spicer FRGS
💡 The 'Be More Buffalo' approach—charging directly into challenges—has empowered us to face obstacles head-on with courage and determination. 🐃 💡Accreditations such as#ISO standards,#BCorp certification, and the #ArmedForcesCovenant. These frameworks don't just guide our operations; they reflect our commitment to quality, social responsibility, and community support, and help us in our talent strategy.
💡#Sustainability and ethical business is now at the front of the board meeting where it belongs. #Energy strategy sits at the heart of economic growth.
💡Be the last person is the room, make the connections as they will sit at the heart of your marketing & PR activities
💡'be a clockmaker not a timekeeper' for operational design as per Jim Collins Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0
💡get good at chewing glass as the recalibration is where the winners and losers are determined
💡Clear is kind. For your teams, investors and yourself. Brené Brown (I also have "you don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems' on my homepage daily for inspiration James Clear)
My role was not just to share our story but to inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs to embrace #mentorship as a catalyst for growth and transformation. It's my hope that these insights equip them with the tools and mindset to thrive amid the complexities of today's business world. Some of the ideas and emerging talent are palpable. Their stories will now be written.
