In this week’s episode I have a great conversation with the fabulous Hayley Ekgren, co-founder of Your Support Team, all about the behind-the-scenes of running and growing a business.

Hayley is Business Operations Director at Your Support Team, a company that provides an outsourced finance department to SMEs, specialising in Xero accounting software and offering everything you'd expect from a full finance function.

We chat about:
  • Hayley’s journey over the last eight years since she began the business with her sister-in-law Claire.
  • The best way to future-proof your business.
  • The power of a story to engage with your audience.
  • The importance of attracting and choosing the right people to work with as clients and in your team.
  • You don’t know what you don’t know,
  • The value of continuous personal development and training.
  • Why values can be more important than strategy.
  • The importance of effective communication in a hybrid workplace.

And we talk about team dynamics and how things can change if you really trust and empower your people to do a good job.
