Ask me a QMy guest today is Donna Nichol, from Chloe James Lifestyle who started her career in fashion buying and gave into her urge to open an independent store of her own 16 years in the place I call home: St Albans.Earlier this year Donna took a month out of her business to go travelling with her husband and when I saw her photos on Instagram and just how happy the break had made her I thought I need to get her on the podcast to show other business leaders whether in corporate life or running small businesses that they can do this too.I wholeheartedly believe – and research bears it out – that top performers know how to rest and sometimes an extended period of rest or change of scene such as a sabbatical or extra long holiday is exactly what we need to stay fresh and energised about leading in business.RESOURCES & REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODERaising & Rising Leadership Career Retreat for Mothers.Chloe James (Donna's business)Chloe James instagramJessica's e-mail: [email protected] FOR YOUDM Jessica on instagram @comebackcommukGet Jessica's FREE fortnightly note, Pivotal.Watch our coaching Success Stories. Take our new FREE Career Fuel diagnostic - and get a personalised free report.Read Mothers Work!
