“We are all in the people business.”
- Shelagh Cummins
Have you ever mused about starting your own business? Or perhaps you have, and then returned to the job world. The two worlds are different, yes - and they share many similarities when it comes to what effective team leadership looks like. Today’s guest shares some clear examples of language and approach you can use when setting clear expectations and having uncomfortable conversations.
My guest is Shelagh Cummins. Shelagh is the Founder and CEO of The Road to Seven - a coaching, training, and financing company that guides women entrepreneurs in building a profitable and fulfilling business. Driven by an unwavering belief in the power of women entrepreneurs and their impact on both society and the economy, The Road provides the tools, the support, and the community needed to achieve their wildest dreams.
The Road to Seven works tirelessly to rewrite the rules when it comes to capital access for this resilient and highly dedicated group of entrepreneurs. We must stop asking why women are not good investments and start asking how we can better invest in women.
